Scott BishelandMattermost Build a6060f5d05 MM-68754: Add silent post delivery for bots and integrations (#36771)
* MM-68754: Add silent post delivery for bots and integrations

  Bot, OAuth, incoming webhook, and plugin posts can request silent
  delivery via ?silent=true (REST), silent:true (webhook payload), or
  silent_notification:true (plugin Props). Silent posts are visible in
  the channel but produce no notifications, unread, or New Messages
  line. force_notification overrides silent. Non-integration senders
  requesting silent receive HTTP 403.

  Also tightens SanitizeProps to strip from_webhook, from_bot,
  from_oauth_app, from_plugin, force_notification, and
  silent_notification from client input. These props are now set
  server-side based on session and entry-point flags, preventing
  identity spoofing. Legitimate callers see no behavior change since
  the server already controlled these props at the response shape;
  the hardening only affects callers attempting to forge them.

* Drop redundant prop-bag silent_notification path from webhooks

* Address CodeRabbit feedback + rebase test fixup

* Update tests to use CreatePostFlags.FromIncomingWebhook instead of forging from_webhook prop

* update api documentation

* test fixes

* added additional tests

* review fixes, update comments

* code review changes, fix test

* fix formatting issues

* fix lint errors

* avoid backward compatibility issues, by no longer stripping the  Post properties.
will add them back in v12 when breaking changes are allowed

Mattermost API Documentation

This repository holds the API reference documentation for Mattermost available at https://developers.mattermost.com/api-reference.

The Mattermost API reference uses the OpenAPI standard and the ReDoc document generator.

All documentation is available under the terms of a Creative Commons License.

Contributing

We're accepting pull requests! See something that could be documented better or is missing documentation? Make a PR and we'll gladly accept it.

All the documentation is written in YAML and found in the v4/source directories. APIv4 documentation is in the v4 directory. APIs for Playbooks are retrieved from GitHub at build time and integrated into the final YAML file.

There is no strict style guide but please try to follow the example of the existing documentation.

To build the full YAML, run make build and it will be output to v4/html/static/mattermost-openapi-v4.yaml. This will also check syntax using swagger-cli.

To test locally, run make build, make run and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080. For any updates to the source files, re-run the same commands.

Deployment

Deployment is handled automatically by our Github Actions. When a pull request is merged, it will automatically be deployed to https://developers.mattermost.com/api-reference.
