• [SE-695] Mention another member in a message openproject#25923

What are you trying to accomplish?

Typing @ in a forum message's editor should suggest users to mention, as it does in work package comments. Today the user-mention feed returns no suggestions unless the editor's resource is a work package, so forum editors never suggest anyone.

What approach did you choose and why?

The feed no longer checks the resource type itself. It asks pathHelper.api.v3.principals(resource, term) for a URL and offers no suggestions when that returns none. OpenProject now decides where users can be mentioned: work packages as before, forum messages (members of the message's project), and nowhere else. A new resource type can get mentions without another editor build.

The feed still unwraps Activity::Comment and still honours disabledMentions. The fetch, deduplication and item mapping are unchanged, and the #, ##, ### and : feeds are untouched. An OpenProject without the new principals() keeps working: that version always returns a URL, and the feed only reaches it for work packages, as before.

Merge checklist

• Added/updated tests
• Added/updated documentation in Lookbook (patterns, previews, etc)
• Tested major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, ...)
