0bdc82a170 (core) Automatically remove empty summary table rows
Summary: When the `getSummarySourceGroup` function (used by the `$group` column) finds that the group is empty, raise a new special exception `EmptySummaryRow`. The engine catches this exception, avoids saving a value to the cell, and removes the record.

Test Plan: Updated several Python tests

1c89d08ea3 (core) Add a row to summary tables grouped by list column(s) corresponding to empty lists
Summary:
Adds some special handling to summary table and lookup logic:

- Source rows with empty choicelists/reflists get a corresponding summary row with an empty string/reference when grouping by that column, instead of excluding them from any group
- Adds a new `QueryOperation` 'empty' in the client which is used in `LinkingState`, `QuerySet`, and `recursiveMoveToCursorPos` to match empty lists in source tables against falsy values in linked summary tables.
- Adds a new parameter `match_empty` to the Python `CONTAINS` function so that regular formulas can implement the same behaviour as summary tables. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1654030490932119
- Uses the new `match_empty` argument in the formula generated for the `group` column when detaching a summary table.

Test Plan: Updated and extended Python and nbrowser tests of summary tables grouped by choicelists to test for new behaviour with empty lists.

8ee23f5344 (core) Mark column changing actions as indirect when adding data to empty column
Summary:
Fixing https://gristlabs.getgrist.com/doc/check-ins/p/12#a1.s19.r1045.c19 :

> Problem: user creates fresh new empty column. Users with access to write to that column, but not modify schema, will not in fact be able to write into it (since on first data entry column type needs to change). Experience is confusing.

Refactored `enter_indirection` and `leave_indirection` to a single context manager method for use with `with` instead of `try/finally`.

Used the new method in `_ensure_column_accepts_data` around column changing actions converting empty column to data column.

Test Plan:
Updated a Python test, reflecting that the correct actions are now marked as direct=False.

Tested manually that I can now add data to a blank column without schema access, while I wasn't able to before, and I still can't make other schema changes.

dc9e53edc8 (core) Update the current time in formulas automatically every hour
Summary: Adds a special user action `UpdateCurrentTime` which invalidates an internal engine dependency node that doesn't belong to any table but is 'used' by the `NOW()` function. Applies the action automatically every hour.

Test Plan: Added a Python test for the user action. Tested the interval periodically applying the action manually: {F43312}

8ec823e7ee (core) Return RecordSet instead of list from property access when possible, to allow further property access
Summary: While `$ref.other_ref` returns a reference (Record) allowing chaining more properties like `$ref.other_ref.foo`, reflists (RecordSet) did not allow this, e.g. `$reflist.other_ref` returned a plain list of records, preventing chaining more dot notation. Discussed here: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1648845745765839

Test Plan: Added a Python unit test. Formulas like `$reflist.other_ref` were already very common though, and getting the functionality code slightly wrong leads to a flood of test failures.

4ce492b9e5 (core) Compute sample_record lazily using a property
Summary: This changes Table.sample_record from a regular attribute to a property that's only computed when it's needed, which is only for autocompletion. This means it's not cached any more, but it's also not recomputed every time the schema changes. Profiling showed that _make_sample_record took a signification portion of time, and this change makes the tests 2 or 3 seconds faster.

0de0cb0f4a (core) Add PUT /records DocApi endpoint to AddOrUpdate records
Summary:
As designed in https://grist.quip.com/fZSrAnJKgO5j/Add-or-Update-Records-API

Current `POST /records` adds records, and `PATCH /records` updates them by row ID. This adds `PUT /records` to 'upsert' records, applying the AddOrUpdate user action. PUT was chosen because it's idempotent. Using a separate method (instead of inferring based on the request body) also cleanly separates validation, documentation, etc.

The name `require` for the new property was suggested by Paul because `where` isn't very clear when adding records.

Test Plan: New DocApi tests

7907467dbc (core) treat summary tables like formulas for access control purposes
Summary:
This unsets the `direct` flag for actions emitted when summary tables are updated. That means those actions will be ignored for access control purposes. So if a user has the right to change a source table, the resulting changes to the summary won't result in the overall action bundle being forbidden.

I don't think I've actually seen the use case that inspired this issue being filed. I could imagine perhaps a user forbidden from creating rows globally making permitted updates that could add rows in a summary (and it being desirable to allow that).

dafdeee41c (core) Optimize overly-cautious column replacing
Summary:
Replacing a column leads to an unnecessary recalculation, and was happening on
every schema change. This is particularly noticeble for large docs, especially
for imports when each column's addition is a schema change in itself, so
recalculation of summary table groupings were happening many times.

Test Plan: Existing tests should pass. No tests yet for avoiding recalculation, but would be nice!

04e5d90f86 (core) Barely working reference lists in frontend
Summary:
This makes it possible to set the type of a column to ReferenceList, but the UI is terrible

ReferenceList.ts is a mishmash of ChoiceList and Reference that sort of works but something about the CSS is clearly broken

ReferenceListEditor is just a text editor, you have to type in a JSON array of row IDs. Ignore the value that's present when you start editing. I can maybe try mashing together ReferenceEditor and ChoiceListEditor but it doesn't seem wise.
I think @georgegevoian should take over here. Reviewing the diff as it is to check for obvious issues is probably good but I don't think it's worth trying to land/merge anything.

Summary:
Added CONTAINS 'function' which can be used in lookups

Changed LookupMapColumn._row_key_map to use right=set so one row can have many keys when CONTAINS is used.

Use CONTAINS to implement group column in summary table, while helper column in source table can reference and create multiple rows in summary table, especially when summarising by ChoiceList columns.

Use itertools.product to generate all combinations of lookup keys and groupby values.

Dealing with some things that bothered and sometimes confused me:

Remove the classes from UserTable because they're not used anywhere and the Table/UserTable distinction is already confusing. They're not documented for users and they don't show up in autocomplete.
Remove RecordSet.Record because it was confusing me where that attribute was being set, but also this means .Record will work properly for users with columns named 'Record'.

e2226c3ab7 (core) Store formula values in DB, and include them into .stored/.undo fields of actions.
Summary:
- Introduce a new SQLiteDB migration, which adds DB columns for formula columns
- Newly added columns have the special ['P'] (pending) value in them
  (in order to show the usual "Loading..." on the first load that triggers the migration)
- Calculated values are added to .stored/.undo fields of user actions.
- Various changes made in the sandbox to include .stored/.undo in the right order.
- OnDemand tables ignore stored formula columns, replacing them with special SQL as before
- In particular, converting to OnDemand table leaves stale values in those
  columns, we should maybe clean those out.

Some tweaks on the side:
- Allow overriding chai assertion truncateThreshold with CHAI_TRUNCATE_THRESHOLD
- Rebuild python automatically in watch mode

Test Plan: Fixed various tests, updated some fixtures. Many python tests that check actions needed adjustments because actions moved from .stored to .undo. Some checks added to catch situations previously only caught in browser tests.
