Refreshing the background page does re-open the socket, but the inbox
and other windows don't reattach correctly. Reload the whole runtime to
force close all windows, reload the background, and re open the inbox.
As a chrome packaged app, we have to keep at least one window open in
order to maintain our websocket connection in the background page.
This change replaces the system window frame with custom buttons in the
inbox header, such that the 'close' button merely hides the window
rather than unloading it.

FREEBIE
This reverts commit 31e7d285e3.
This seemed like a nice feature, but the popup bubble isn't very
conducive to nontrivial user inputs, e.g. file inputs.
Fixes#211
Rather than opening the inbox in its own window, let it appear as a
browser action popup by default, but allow promotion to its own window
if requested.
Update unreadCounts per-conversation on incoming messages. Render unread
conversations with font-weigh: bold in the inbox view.
To ensure that the inbox and conversation views remain in sync, the
background page now ensures that the same models objects are used for
both views.
Templatize the inbox view and use the same pattern for in-window view
switching as is now used with the conversation/message detail views.
This means doing more with markup and less jquery manipulation of
individual subelements of the inbox view.
Closes#173
Previously, in the event of a failed websocket auth, we would attempt to
reconnect once a second ad infinitum. This changeset ensures that we
only reconnect automatically if the socket closed 'normally' as
indicated by the code on the socket's CloseEvent. Otherwise, show a
'Websocket closed' error on the inbox view.
Ideally we would show a more contextual error (ie, 'Unauthorized'), but
unfortunately the actual server response code is not available to our
code. It can be observed in the console output from the background page,
but programmatically, we only receive the WebSocket CloseEvent codes
listed here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CloseEvent#Status_codes
The websocket error message is displayed by a normally-hidden but ever
present socket status element. Clicking this element will immediately
refresh the background page, which will try again to open the websocket
connection.
Background page conversations were trying to trigger events on the inbox
list view which had been destroyed, resulting in a background page
console error of "can't read innerHeight of null".
Avoid this by removing listeners when the inbox window is closed.
When a new message arrives, if its conversation is not already opened,
the background page opens it. If it is alrady open the window is
focused. Finally, the 'message' event is triggered, resulting in
1. the inbox refetches conversations
2. all conversations fetch new messages
TODO: only send this event to the target window
Don't auto open the last conversation. It doesn't make sense now that we
no longer have two column layout.
Don't trigger/listen for selected events. There's no need since the list
item opens a new popup now.
This change removes the timestamp field from messages and conversations
in favor of multiple semantically named timestamp fields: sent_at,
received_at on messages; active_at on conversations. This requires/lets
us rethink and improve our indexing scheme thusly:
The inbox index on conversations will order entries by the
conversation.active_at property, which should only appear on
conversations destined for the inbox.
The receipt index will use the message.sent_at property, for effecient
lookup of outgoing messages by timestamp, for use in processing delivery
receipts.
The group index on conversation.members is multi-entry, meaning that
looking up any phone number in this index will efficiently yield all
groups the number belongs to.
The conversation index lets us scan messages in a single conversation,
in the order they were received (or the reverse order). It is a compound
index on [conversationId, received_at].
Register the runtime callback at the top level view rather than having
each conversation view register independently.
Also refactors Layout into InboxView.
