This is the first step of improvements over keypairs/keycards/accounts.
- `SyncKeypairFull` protobuf removed
- `SyncKeypair` protobuf is used for syncing all but the watch only accounts
- `SyncAccount` is used only for syncing watch only accounts
- related keycards are synced together with a keypair
- on any keypair change (either it's just a keypair name or any change made over an
account which belongs to that keypair) entire keypair is synced including related keycards
- on any watch only account related change, that account is synced with all its details
- Add ERC20 contract
- Add decimals field to community_tokens db table
- Adjusting API to handle assets deployment
- Add decimals field to CommunityTokenMetadata
Issue #10987
Main changes:
- Refactor activity API to propagate token identities.
- Extend service to convert token identities to symbols for filtering
multi-transaction
- Filter transfers, pending_transactions and multi-transactions based
on the provided token identities
- Return involved token identities in activity API
- Test token filtering
Also:
- Fixed calling cancel on a filer activity completed task to release
resources
Notes:
- Found limitations with the token identity which complicates things
by not allowing to filter by token groups (like token-code does)
Updates status-desktop #11025
Change smart contract with new API.
Update gas amount for deployment.
Add Burn() and EstimateBurn() functions.
Add RemainingSupply() functions.
Issue #10816
It happens that an envelope is sent before it's tracked, resulting in
long delays before the envelope is marked as sent.
This commit changes the behavior of the code so that order is now
irrelevant.
When we reply to our own message with an image, we didn't set the URL of
the image of the message, which resulted in the image not being
displayed correctly.

Add support for unfurling a wider range of websites. Most code changes are
related to the implementation of a new Unfurler, an OEmbedUnfurler, which is
necessary to get metadata for Reddit URLs using oEmbed, since Reddit does not
support OpenGraph meta tags. The new unfurler will also be useful for other
websites, like Twitter. Also the user agent was changed, and now more websites
consider status-go reasonably human.
Related to issue https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15918
Example hostnames that are now unfurleable: reddit.com, open.spotify.com,
music.youtube.com
Other improvements:
- Better error handling, especially because I wasn't wrapping errors correctly.
I also removed the unnecessary custom error UnfurlErr.
- I made tests truly deterministic by parameterizing the http.Client instance
and by customizing its Transport field (except for some failing conditions
where it's even good to hit the real servers).
Fixes an issue where if a group chat was first received from a non-contact, and later received from a contact, it still wouldn't save it as active.
That's because we checked if we were **newly** added instead of just if we were added. That meant that in the case I described above, the chat would then never have the chance to be set active.
- old `accounts` table is moved/mapped to `keypairs` and `keypairs_accounts`
- `keycards` table has foreign key which refers to `keypairs.key_uid`
- `Keypair` introduced as a new type
- api endpoints updated according to this change
This commit does a few things:
1) Extend create/import account endpoint to get wallet config, some of
which has been moved to the backend
2) Set up a loop for retrieving balances every 10 minutes, caching the
balances
3) Return information about which checks are not passing when trying to
join a token gated community
4) Add tests to the token gated communities
5) Fixes an issue with addresses not matching when checking for
permissions
The move to the wallet as a background task is not yet complete, I need
to publish a signal, and most likely I will disable it before merging
for now, as it's currently not used by desktop/mobile, but the PR was
getting to big
This is the initial implementation for the new URL unfurling requirements. The
most important one is that only the message sender will pay the privacy cost for
unfurling and extracting metadata from websites. Once the message is sent, the
unfurled data will be stored at the protocol level and receivers will just
profit and happily decode the metadata to render it.
Further development of this URL unfurling capability will be mostly guided by
issues created on clients. For the moment in status-mobile:

### Terminology
In the code, I've tried to stick to the word "unfurl URL" to really mean the
process of extracting metadata from a website, sort of lower level. I use "link
preview" to mean a higher level structure which is enriched by unfurled data.
"link preview" is also how designers refer to it.
### User flows
1. Carol needs to see link previews while typing in the chat input field. Notice
from the diagram nothing is persisted and that status-go endpoints are
essentially stateless.

2. Carol sends the text message with link previews in the RPC request
wakuext_sendChatMessages. status-go assumes the link previews are good
because it can't and shouldn't attempt to re-unfurl them.
```
#+begin_src plantuml :results verbatim
Client->>Server: Call wakuext_sendChatMessages
Server->>Server: Transform link previews to\nbe proto-marshalled
Server->DB: Write link previews serialized as JSON
Server-->>Client: Updated message response

```
3. The message was sent over waku and persisted locally in Carol's device. She
should now see the link previews in the chat history. There can be many link
previews shared by other chat members, therefore it is important to serve the
assets via the media server to avoid overloading the ReactNative bridge with
lots of big JSON payloads containing base64 encoded data URIs (maybe this
concern is meaningless for desktop). When a client is rendering messages with
link previews, they will have the field linkPreviews, and the thumbnail URL
will point to the local media server.
```
#+begin_src plantuml :results verbatim
Client->>Server: GET /link-preview/thumbnail (media server)
Server->>DB: Read from user_messages.unfurled_links

### Some limitations of the current implementation
The following points will become separate issues in status-go that I'll work on
over the next couple weeks. In no order of importance:
- Improve how multiple links are fetched; retries on failure and testing how
unfurling behaves around the timeout limits (deterministically, not by making
real HTTP calls as I did). https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/3498
- Unfurl favicons and store them in the protobuf too.
- For this PR, I added unfurling support only for websites with OpenGraph
https://ogp.me/ meta tags. Other unfurlers will be implemented on demand. The
next one will probably be for oEmbed https://oembed.com/, the protocol
supported by YouTube, for example.
- Resize and/or compress thumbnails (and favicons). Often times, thumbnails are
huge for the purposes of link previews. There is already support for
compressing JPEGs in status-go, but I prefer to work with compression in a
separate PR because I'd like to also solve the problem for PNGs (probably
convert them to JPEGs, plus compress them). This would be a safe choice for
thumbnails, favicons not so much because transparency is desirable.
- Editing messages is not yet supported.
- I haven't coded any artificial limit on the number of previews or on the size
of the thumbnail payload. This will be done in a separate issue. I have heard
the ideal solution may be to split messages into smaller chunks of ~125 KiB
because of libp2p, but that might be too complicated at this stage of the
product (?).
- Link preview deletion.
- For the moment, OpenGraph metadata is extracted by requesting data for the
English language (and fallback to whatever is available). In the future, we'll
want to unfurl by respecting the user's local device language. Some websites,
like GoDaddy, are already localized based on the device's IP, but many aren't.
- The website's description text should be limited by a certain number of
characters, especially because it's outside our control. Exactly how much has
not been decided yet, so it'll be done separately.
- URL normalization can be tricky, so I implemented only the basics to help with
caching. For example, the url https://status.im and HTTPS://status.im are
considered identical. Also, a URL is considered valid for unfurling if its TLD
exists according to publicsuffix.EffectiveTLDPlusOne. This was essential,
otherwise the default Go url.Parse approach would consider many invalid URLs
valid, and thus the server would waste resources trying to unfurl the
unfurleable.
### Other requirements
- If the message is edited, the link previews should reflect the edited text,
not the original one. This has been aligned with the design team as well.
- If the website's thumbnail or the favicon can't be fetched, just ignore them.
The only mandatory piece of metadata is the website's title and URL.
- Link previews in clients should be generated in near real-time, that is, as
the user types, previews are updated. In mobile this performs very well, and
it's what other clients like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook do.
### Decisions
- While the user typing in the input field, the client is constantly (debounced)
asking status-go to parse the text and extract normalized URLs and then the
client checks if they're already in its in-memory cache. If they are, no RPC
call is made. I chose this approach to achieve the best possible performance
in mobile and avoid the whole RPC overhead, since the chat experience is
already not smooth enough. The mobile client uses URLs as cache keys in a
hashmap, i.e. if the key is present, it means the preview is readily available
(naive, but good enough for now). This decision also gave me more flexibility
to find the best UX at this stage of the feature.
- Due to the requirement that users should be able to see independent loading
indicators for each link preview, when status-go can't unfurl a URL, it
doesn't return it in the response.
- As an initial implementation, I added the BLOB column unfurled_links to the
user_messages table. The preview data is then serialized as JSON before being
stored in this column. I felt that creating a separate table and the related
code for this initial PR would be inconvenient. Is that reasonable to you?
Once things stabilize I can create a proper table if we want to avoid this
kind of solution with serialized columns.
