Rides the existing `<@id>` token: `everyone` already matches the parser's
`[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`, so the markdown pre-processor, the inline renderer and the
badge pick it up with no second syntax. User ids are snowflakes, so the
literal `everyone` cannot collide with one.
Gated on a new MENTION_EVERYONE permission rather than being open to all —
otherwise a role can never take it away. Granted to @everyone by default: on
a small instance the ping is a convenience, not a weapon, and an owner who
disagrees can deny it and grant it to a role instead.
Two things that would each have made the gate a no-op:
- DEFAULT_EVERYONE_PERMISSIONS only applies at space creation, so spaces
that predate the bit would have had every @everyone mention silently
stripped. A boot-time backfill ORs the bit into @everyone roles only
(`id = space_id`), leaving other roles alone so a later denial is not
overruled on the next restart. Verified against a copy of the production
database: three roles moved by exactly 2^15, non-@everyone roles
untouched, second pass a no-op.
- Enforcement covers edit as well as create; without that, posting a plain
message and editing it is the way around the permission.
A message that lacks the permission is not rejected — losing what someone
wrote over one token is worse than posting it. The token is demoted to the
literal `@everyone` text they typed: the message reads the same and rings
nobody.
Code spans and fences never ping. People paste payloads and snippets into
chat, and a paste should not ring everyone's client. The same rule decides
the row highlight and the notification sound, so the three cannot disagree.
Verified: web build, server typecheck, 504 web tests, 804 server tests.
