This change introduces native `matrix:` URI-based rendering for `{user}` and `{room}` placeholders,
replacing previous plaintext and matrix.to-based links. Users and rooms are now rendered as clickable
pills in supporting clients, with a clean display using display names and room names (no @/# prefixes).
Reporting, moderation, and auto-redaction messages have been updated to use the same rendering logic.
Inspect and event links now also use native `matrix:` URIs for direct in-client navigation.
Internally, URI generation and rendering logic have been unified via central helper functions,
ensuring consistent handling of user IDs, room IDs, aliases, and event IDs.
This commit also includes a broader refactor of the codebase:
- decomposed complex flows (e.g. join handling) into smaller helpers
- moved mutable class-level state to instance-level
- reduced duplicate API calls and redundant logic
- improved overall structure and maintainability
Test coverage has been extended for URI helpers and rendering logic to prevent regressions.
No breaking changes to existing template parameters like `{user_link}` or `{room_link}`.
permission modeling has been moved from statically defined in your bot
config to a cascading model, as set by your parent room or space.
when upgrading:
- ensure your bot is an admin of your space or parent room
- run the `!community sync` command to migrate your admins and
moderators to your parent space, and clear out these fields in your
config
- optionally run `!community setpower` to ensure power levels are set in
all space rooms according to your parent space
if you have legacy rooms with incorrect permissions, you can now upgrade
them easily with the `!community replaceroom` command. see the readme
for more information.
good for shutting off temporary rooms and keeping your space tidy, and
migrating to new rooms that the bot has appropriate permissions for.
probably doesn't solve every problem but should make it a little easier
to fix permission issues and such.
