None of these could fail a unit test, and three of them break the feature for the
operator rather than for the code.
**The uploads acknowledgement was a one-way door.** A settings form sends every
field it owns, so once `teams_forum_images` was `uploads`, every later save
re-sent `uploads` — and the gate fired on the VALUE being present rather than on
the mode being SELECTED. The operator could never change a forum setting again,
and the thing they would reach for in a hurry, switching the forum off, was
exactly what came back 400. The gate now passes when an acknowledgement for the
version in force is already on record AND uploads is already the stored mode:
there is no new consent to take. A transition INTO uploads still asks, and a
reworded notice is still caught by assertSettingsWritable.
**An uploaded image could never become a picture.** `uploads` mode hands the
composer `/uploads/<name>.png`, the composer puts it in the body as text — the
author never writes markup, which is the whole design — and the renderer only
rewrites ANCHORS. The linkifier matched absolute http(s) URLs only, so the write
path could not produce the anchor the read path looks for, even though
`isEmbeddableImageUrl` had accepted those paths since the first commit. The two
halves disagreed and only a real upload showed it.
**The embed sat beside its link, not beneath it**, because an <img> is inline, and
nothing capped a remote image to the column — one post from a host serving a
4000px file would have blown the layout out. Core now emits `class="forum-embed"`
and the stylesheet owns both. A class rather than an inline style because the
style would then have to survive the client's DOMPurify pass, and its CSS
sanitiser is a larger thing to reason about than one class name.
**The panel's buttons had no button styling.** `btn-ghost` is a MODIFIER — every
other call site in this codebase pairs it with the base `btn` — so alone it
contributed colours and no geometry, and the controls rendered as bare boxes.
Small inline actions use `pill`, which is what the rest of the admin surface uses
for exactly these. Same class of mistake as the Material one in the Android M12
phase: the modifier carries no base.
Also: the post body now re-sanitises client-side like every other body-HTML
surface on this site, with `ADD_ATTR: ['referrerpolicy']`. That argument is
load-bearing — DOMPurify's default allowlist carries `loading` but not
`referrerpolicy`, so a plain sanitize() call silently strips the one attribute
limiting what a remote embed leaks to the host serving it, which is the privacy
property the admin help text promises.
