Details

Summary

Add stripMemberPermissions option to rawThreadInfoFromServerThreadInfo to strip member permissions for new clients.


Depends on D12763

Test Plan

Did some basic testing where I hardcoded stripMemberPermissions being passed to rawThreadInfoFromServerThreadInfo and set breakpoints to check output.

Will do additional testing with validators + after getting basic client migration working.

With stripMemberPermissions=false:

(can observe that each of the two members have permissions field set to string)

With stripMemberPermissions=true:

Wanted to specify exact type of object before "crossing boundary" and making call to stripMemberPermissionsFromRawThreadInfo. The output of rawThreadInfoFromServerThreadInfo is "enforced" at runtime via validators which makes this a "safe" any-cast IMO.

Isn't this backwards? Don't we want to strip member permissions for newer clients, not for older clients?

It looks like this will be true for modern clients:

const specialRoleFieldSupported = hasMinCodeVersion(viewer.platformDetails, {
  native: 336,
  web: 79,
});

Doesn't that mean we'll never strip the member permissions?

rebase after addressing feedback in previous diffs in stack, still need to fix this diff up

atul planned changes to this revision.Jul 17 2024, 2:25 PM

Lot of things that need to be fixed up here.

Yeah, will flip.

lib/shared/thread-utils.js
875 ↗(On Diff #42361)

Yeah this came up pretty immediately during testing, will update

fix logic, still need to do more testing

Updated test plan after some more testing.

Is the "deprecated" name really appropriate here? It seems like it's deprecated on the client, but will always be necessary in keyserver to go from a ServerThreadInfo to a type that works on clients (minimally-encoded)

That's fair, wanted to avoid "Legacy" but something like minimallyEncodeRawThreadInfoSansMemberPermissions or something might work.

*minimallyEncodeRawThreadInfoWithMemberPermissions

Doing this in a followup diff rn to avoid cluttering this one up with rename
