This was broken by an SQLite upgrade - previously we received the rows
in ix_cards_sched order, but recent versions use a table scan for that
query when the order is unspecified. Solved by being explicit about the
order we expect results to arrive.

Matches should arrive in alphabetical order. Currently results are not
capped (JS should be able to handle ~1k tags without too much hassle),
and no reordering based on match location is done. Matches are substring
based, and multiple can be provided, eg "foo::bar" will match
"foof::baz::abbar".
This is not hooked up properly on the frontend at the moment -
updateSuggestions() seems to be missing the most recently typed character,
and is not updating the list of completions half the time.
Context: https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/more-cards-today-question-about-v3/12400/10
Previously, interday learning cards and reviews were gathered at the
same time in v3, with the review limit being applied to both of them. The
order cards were gathered in would change the ratio of gathered learning
cards and reviews, but as they were displayed together in a single count,
a changing ratio was not apparent, and no special handling was required
by the deck tree code.
Showing interday learning cards in the learning count, while still
applying a review limit to them, makes things more complicated, as
a changing ratio will result in different counts. The deck tree code
is not able to know which order cards will appear in, so without changes,
we would have had a situation where the deck list may show different counts
to those seen when clicking on a deck.
One way to solve this would have been to introduce a separate limit for
interday learning cards. But this would have meant users needed to
juggle two different limits, instead of having a single one that controls
total number of (non-intraday) cards shown.
Instead, the scheduler now fetches interday cards prior to reviews -
the rationale for that order is that learning cards tend to be more
fragile/urgent than reviews. The option to show learning cards
before/after/mixed with reviews still exists, but it applies only after
cards have been capped to the daily limit.
To ensure the deck tree code matches the counts the scheduler gives,
it too applies limits to interday learning cards first, and reviews
afterwards.
Interday learning cards are now counted in the learning count again,
and are no longer subject to the daily review limit.
The thinking behind the original change was that interday learning cards
are scheduled more like reviews, and counting them in the review count
would allow the learning count to focus on intraday learning - the red
number reflecting the fact that they are the most fragile memories. And
counting them together made it practical to apply the review limit
to both at once.
Since the release, there have been a number of users expecting to see
interday learning cards included in the learning count (the latest being
https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/feedback-and-a-feature-adjustment-request-for-2-1-45/12308),
and a good argument can be made for that too - they are, after all, listed
in the learning steps, and do tend to be harder than reviews. Short of
introducing another count to keep track of interday and intraday learning
separately, moving back to the old behaviour seems like the best move.
This also means it is not really practical to apply the review limit to
interday learning cards anymore, as the limit would be split between two
different numbers, and how much each number is capped would depend on
the order cards are introduced. The scheduler could figure this out, but
the deck list code does not know card order, and would need significant
changes to be able to produce numbers that matched the scheduler. And
even if we ignore implementation complexities, I think it would be more
difficult for users to reason about - the influence of the review limit
on new cards is confusing enough as it is.
Multiple configs with the same inner id would lead to errors like the
following when trying to open the collection:
DeckConfigInner.interval_multiplier: invalid wire type: StartGroup (expected ThirtyTwoBit)
This makes the review backlog case more expensive, since we end up
shuffling items outside the daily limit, but for the common case it's
about the same speed, and it means we don't need two separate sorting
steps. New cards remain handled the same way, since a backlog
is common there.
Also ensures that interday learning cards honor the deck sorting, and
that the non-default sort orders shuffle at the end.
- The "unbury deck" option was broken, as it was ignoring child
decks. It would be nice if we could use active_decks instead, but
plugging that into the old scheduler without breaking undo seems a bit
tricky.
- Remove the implicit From impl for decks, so we need to be forced to
think about whether we want child decks or not.
- Daily limits are no longer inherited - each deck limits its own
cards, and the selected deck enforces a maximum limit.
- Fetching of review cards now uses a single query, and sorts in advance.
In collections with a large number of overdue cards and decks, this is
faster than iterating over each deck in turn.
- Include interday learning count in review count & review limit, and
allow them to be buried.
- Warn when parent review limit is lower than child deck in deck options.
- Cap the new card limit to the review limit.
- Add option to control whether new card fetching short-circuits.
- split new card fetch order and subsequent sort order; use latter
when building queues
- default to spacing siblings when burying is off, with options to
show each sibling in turn, and shuffle the fetched cards
The bury new/review flags are now pulled from each card's home deck,
instead of using a global setting that had not been hooked up. This
unfortunately means we need to fetch the map of all decks up front, as
we need to be able to look up a deck configuration for cards that are
in filtered decks.
Fixes a "card was modified" error caused by cards being buried during
review, when they weren't removed up-front.
The deck name must be constructed by calling associated functions of
NativeDeckName, unless the name is guaranteed to be valid machine
name (like "Default").
NativeDeckName exposes methods to mutate the deck name and return
the human name.
The storage routines take &strs, but those should be slices of
NativeDeckNames to ensure machine form and normalization.
So, this is fun. Apparently "DeckId" is considered preferable to the
"DeckID" were were using until now, and the latest clippy will start
warning about it. We could of course disable the warning, but probably
better to bite the bullet and switch to the naming that's generally
considered best.
Instead of generating a fluent.proto file with a giant enum, create
a .json file representing the translations that downstream consumers
can use for code generation.
This enables the generation of a separate method for each translation,
with a docstring that shows the actual text, and any required arguments
listed in the function signature.
The codebase is still using the old enum for now; updating it will need
to come in future commits, and the old enum will need to be kept
around, as add-ons are referencing it.
Other changes:
- move translation code into a separate crate
- store the translations on a per-file/module basis, which will allow
us to avoid sending 1000+ strings on each JS page load in the future
- drop the undocumented support for external .ftl files, that we weren't
using
- duplicate strings in translation files are now checked for at build
time
- fix i18n test failing when run outside Bazel
- drop slog dependency in i18n module
- Filtered deck creation now happens as an atomic operation, and is
undoable.
- The logic for initial search text, normalizing searches and so on
has been pushed into the backend.
- Use protobuf to pass the filtered deck to the updated dialog, so
we don't need to deal with untyped JSON.
- Change the "revise your search?" prompt to be a simple info box -
user has access to cancel and build buttons, and doesn't need a separate
prompt. Tweak the wording so the 'show excluded' button should be more
obvious.
- Filtered decks have a time appended to them instead of a number,
primarily because it's easier to implement. No objections going back to
the old behaviour if someone wants to contribute a clean patch.
The standard de-duplication will happen if two decks are created in the
same minute with the same name.
- Tweak the default sort order, and start with two searches. The UI
will still hide the second search by default, but by starting with two,
the frontend doesn't need logic for creating the starting text.
- Search errors now have their own error type, instead of using
InvalidInput, as that was intended mainly for bad API calls. The markdown
conversion is done when the error is converted from the backend, allowing
errors to printed as a string without any special handling by the calling
code.
