Close https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7396. Before reviewing,
you should read the issue description of
https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7396.
I recommend to review with hidden whitespace changes.
TODO:
- [x] Implement the new protocol
- [x] Make Rust tests pass
- [x] Make Python tests pass
- [x] Test it manually on a phone
- [x] Print the sent messages, and check that they look how they should:
[test_secure_join_group_with_mime_printed.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24800556/test_secure_join_group.txt)
- [x] Fix bug: If Alice has a second device, then Bob's chat won't be
shown yet on that second device. Also, Bob's contact isn't shown in her
contact list. As soon as either party writes something into the chat,
the that shows up and everything is fine. All of this is still a way
better UX than in WhatsApp, where Bob always has to write first 😂
Still, I should fix that.
- This is actually caused by a larger bug: AUTH tokens aren't synced if
there is no corresponding INVITE token.
- Fixed by 6b658a0e0
- [x] Either make a new `auth_tokens` table with a proper UNIQUE bound,
or put a UNIQUE bound on the `tokens` table
- [x] Benchmarking
- [x] TODOs in the code, maybe change naming of the new functions
- [x] Write test for interop with older DC (esp. that the original
securejoin runs if you remove the &v=3 param)
- [x] From a cryptography perspective, is it fine that vc-request is
encrypted with AUTH, rather than a separate secret (like INVITE)?
- [x] Make sure that QR codes without INVITE work, so that we can remove
it eventually
- [x] Self-review, and comment on some of my code changes to explain
what they do
- [x] ~~Maybe use a new table rather than reusing AUTH token.~~ See
https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/7754#discussion_r2728544725
- [ ] Update documentation; I'll do that in a separate PR. All necessary
information is in the https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7396 issue
description
- [ ] Update tests and other code to use the new names (e.g.
`request-pubkey` rather than `request` and `pubkey` rather than
`auth-required`); I'll do that in a follow-up PR
**Backwards compatibility:**
Everything works seamlessly in my tests. If both devices are updated,
then the new protocol is used; otherwise, the old protocol is used. If
there is a not-yet-updated second device, it will correctly observe the
protocol, and mark the chat partner as verified.
Note that I removed the `Auto-Submitted: auto-replied` header from
securejoin messages. We don't need it ourselves, it's a cleartext header
that leaks too much information, and I can't see any reason to have it.

fix https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7766
Implementation notes:
- Descriptions are only sent with member additions, when the description
is changed, and when promoting a previously-unpromoted group, in order
not to waste bandwith.
- Descriptions are not loaded everytime a chat object is loaded, because
they are only needed for the profile. Instead, they are in their own
table, and can be loaded with their own JsonRPC call.

### Why not deprecate it instead?
Because empty contact list is a more annoying-to-find bug in your app
than failing to build or getting undefined at runtime.
Also you would not see the deprecated hints anyway because for that you
need autogenerated types and those only exist for typescript currently.
Also remove "you can now call 'configure'" from the REPL output, probably users of the REPL tool can
read the code documentation to know when 'configure' should be run.
Adds an api to get all ui config keys. There already is an option to get
all normal config keys (`"sys.config_keys"`), but before this pr there
was no way to get all `ui.*` config keys.
#### Why is this api needed?
For webxdc cleanup on desktop, which stores window position in a ui
config key (such as `ui.desktop.webxdcBounds.676464`) as soon as a
webxdc is opened since many versions now. So listing all ui keys is a
good way for us to find out which webxdc may have web data stored.
unfortunately electron does not (yet?) have a way to list all origins
that have web-data like android does, so this is the next best thing we
can do before itterating all possible ids, see also
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/5758.
#### Why is this only a jsonrpc api and not another special/virtual
config key like `"sys.config_keys"`?
r10s indicated that `ui.*`-config keys are barely used
(https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/5790#issuecomment-3598512802),
so I thought it makes more sense to add it as dedicated api which's
existentence is checked by the typechecker, so it will be easier to not
miss it when we should remove the api again in the future.
But we could also do a dedicated special/virtual config key for it, if
you think that is better, this is easy to change.

It is a follow-up to https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/7643
Event is not emitted when the transports are modified on this device
and we should consistently say that this event is not only for testing.
Add `chat::forward_msgs_2ctx()` which takes another context as a parameter and forwards messages to
it and its jsonrpc wrapper `CommandApi::forward_messages_to_account()`.
This API allows to check if the message with
given ID exists and distinguish between
message not existing and database error.
It might also be faster than
checking messages one by one
if multiple messages need to be checked
because of using a single SQL transaction.
New APIs are JSON-RPC method stop_background_fetch(),
Rust method Accounts.stop_background_fetch()
and C method dc_accounts_stop_background_fetch().
These APIs allow to cancel background fetch early
even before the initially set timeout,
for example on Android when the system calls
`Service.onTimeout()` for a `dataSync` foreground service.
`Contact::get_color()` returns gray if own keypair doesn't exist yet and we don't want any UIs
displaying it. Keypair generation can't be done in `get_color()` or `get_by_id_optional()` to avoid
breaking Core tests on key import. Also this makes the API clearer, pure getters shouldn't modify
any visible state.
