- Introduces view-engagement-dashboard permission.
Improve the add user drop down for add a user in create channel modal for UserAutoCompleteMultiple (#23766 by @Jeanstaquet)

Seeing only the name of the person you are not adding is not practical in my opinion because two people can have the same name. Moreover, you can't see the username of the person you want to add in the dropdown. So I changed that and created another selection of users to show the username as well. I made this change so that it would appear in the key place for creating a room and adding a user.

Bug fixes

"to users" not working in export message (#23576)
ENTERPRISE: OAuth "Merge Roles" removes roles from users (#23588)

App update flow failing in HA setups (#23607)

Apps scheduler "losing" jobs after server restart (#23566)

If a job is scheduled and the server restarted, said job won't be executed, giving the impression it's been lost.

What happens is that the scheduler is only started when some app tries to schedule an app - if that happens, all jobs that are "late" will be executed; if that doesn't happen, no job will run.

This PR starts the apps scheduler right after all apps have been loaded
Autofocus on search input in admin (#23738)

Removed "generic" autofocus on sidenav template.

Minor changes

Chore: add no-bidi rule (#23695)
Chore: add index on appId + associations for apps_persistence collection (#23675)
Chore: Api definitions (#23701)
Chore: Bump Rocket.Chat@livechat to 1.10 (#23768)
Chore: Convert Fiber models to async Step 1 (#23633)
Chore: Generic Table (#23745)
Chore: Mocha testing configuration (#23706)

We've been writing integration tests for the REST API quite regularly, but we can't say the same for UI-related modules. This PR is based on the assumption that improving the developer experience on writing tests would increase our coverage and promote the adoption even for newcomers.

Here as summary of the proposal:
- Change Mocha configuration files:
  - Add a base configuration (.mocharc.base.json);
  - Rename the configuration for REST API tests (mocha_end_to_end.opts.js -> .mocharc.api.js);
  - Add a configuration for client modules (.mocharc.client.js);
  - Enable ESLint for them.
- Add a Mocha test command exclusive for client modules (npm run testunit-client);
- Enable fast watch mode:
  - Configure ts-node to only transpile code (skip type checking);
  - Define a list of files to be watched.
- Configure mocha environment on ESLint only for test files (required when using Mocha's globals);
- Adopt Chai as our assertion library:
  - Unify the setup of Chai plugins (chai-spies, chai-datetime, chai-dom);
  - Replace assert with chai;
  - Replace chai.expect with expect.
- Enable integration tests with React components:
  - Enable JSX support on our default Babel configuration;
  - Adopt testing library.
Chore: Rearrange module typings (#23452)
- Move all external module declarations (definitions and augmentations) to /definition/externals;
- ~~Symlink some modules on /definition/externals to /ee/server/services/definition/externals~~ Share types with /ee/server/services;
- Use TypeScript as server code entrypoint.
