Currently, we display a mix of topics and notifications in the user menu
assignments tab. This has a number of issues like having to maintain
hard to understand code instead of simply relying on the notifications
system we have, we can’t display more than one assignment per topic and
it’s not clear if an assignment is for a topic or a post nor if it’s a
group assignment or an individual one.
This patch addresses those issues by relying on the notifications system
we’re using for most of the other user menu tabs instead of a custom
implementation. This led to some heavy refactoring but it was
worthwhile as things are a bit more normalized and easier to reason
about. Instead of serializing topics with different attributes to access
various assignments, we now simply return a notification for each
existing assignment.
The UI changed a bit: tooltips are now explaining if the assignment is
for a topic or a post and if it’s for an individual or a group. Icons
are also properly set (so no more individual icon for group assignments)
and the assigned group name is displayed.
The background jobs signatures changed a bit (`assignment_id` is now
needed for the unassign job) so when deploying this patch, it’s expected
to have some jobs failing. That’s why a post-migration has been written
to handle the creation of missing notifications and the deletion of
extra notifications too.
This commit updates the plugin to follow the latest guidelines, as
shown in discourse-plugin-skeleton, removing the explicit require calls
and using config/routes.rb for defining all routes.

Implements a new design that improves the user experience:
- add a clear cancel button
- add an indication the note is optional
- change the plus icon to a search icon
- show an error when the user tries to assign without choosing an assignee
- move suggestions to default search results
- focus search input when modal is displayed
As of 496f910f03, core automatically adds title to user menu tabs if an i18n string exists at the key `user_menu.tabs.${tab_id}`. This PR adds a string in the right place so core picks it up and uses it for the assign tab.
There were two problems with the way current automation script for automatic
assignment works:
- it tried to assign users that were not allowed to be assigned because they
were not part of groups that are allowed to use discourse-assign - fixed by
skipping users that are not a part of assign_allowed_on_groups groups
- it assigned new users - fixed by adding a new user that can skip new users
This commit adds a tab for assignments in the experimental user menu. The assignments tab behaves very similarly to the bookmarks and messages tab in core: it displays the user's unread assign notifications first and then fills the rest of available space in the menu with assignments (same content that the current user menu displays).
More details of the experimental user menu can be found in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
Adds a new plugin setting that when enabled adds a status field for every assignment. This setting defaults to off.
The possible status for an assignment are customizable via yet another new setting, and the first one on this list will be the default status for new assignments.
The status is not yet show anywhere except the assign modal and the small action posts in topics at the moment. Adding status to the assignment list for users and groups will be handled in the near future.

It's a minor copyedit to remove group mention from the post raw. Else it sends a notification to all group members when no one is found to be assigned.
