We have been using type-safe comparisons in new code for quite a while
now, however old code has only been adapted slowly.
Change all the remaining bits to get rid of another legacy style
difference.

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

When passing an invalid or unknown app ID to FocusApp(), we currently
open the app picker and silently fail to select the desired app.
Instead of half-working like that, make it clear that the argument
was invalid by returning an appropriate error. (It's easy to get the
ID wrong, as unlike appstream/flatpak IDs, we include the ".desktop"
suffix).

The Eval() method is unarguably the most sensitive D-Bus method
we expose, since it allows running arbitrary code in the compositor.
It is currently tied to the `development-tools` settings that is
enabled by default. As users have become accustomed to the built-in
commands that are enabled by the same setting (restart, lg, ...),
that default cannot easily be changed.
In order to restrict the method without affecting the rather harmless
commands, guard it by the new MetaContext:unsafe-mode property instead
of the setting.

When implementing a D-Bus method synchronously, regular JS methods are
used. That is, whatever the method returns is passed as return value
to the method invocation.
However for asynchronous implementations, we need to explicitly return
a value to the invocation, otherwise the caller will wait until it times
out eventually.

The appDisplay used to be accessible via the viewSelector, but
that is gone now. Commit c09c070b15 adjusted the code, but the
replacement uses a Main.overview.appDisplay accessor that never
existed, whoops.
Fix this by exposing a new selectApp() method directly on the
overview, so we don't have to shuffle the appDisplay through
controls → overviewActor → overview.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1891>
Move AppDisplay, WorkspacesDisplay, and ThumbnailsBox from ViewSelector to
ControlsManager. This allows to always allocate the correct size for AppDisplay,
and will enable for a plethora of further improvements. The end goal is to
completely remove ViewSelector, and let ControlsManager handle the layout of
everything that's visible in the overview.
For now, replace the apps page with a dummy actor in ViewSelector.
Adjust various callers around the codebase to not access the ViewSelector
directly from the overview anymore.
Bind the opacity of the primary workspace to WorkspaceDisplay's opacity. This
allows removing the parent opacity hack in place, which will be done by the
next commit.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1624>
Now that Overview is able to ease into any state, be it window
picker or app grid, we can move this ViewSelector method to
Overview itself, which is its rightful place to live.
Remove ViewSelector.showApps(), and make all callers call
Main.overview.show(ControlsState.APP_GRID). Also make sure the
show apps button is correctly toggled.

Extension that want to expose their own preferences (for example as menu
items) do that by passing their UUID to gnome-shell-extension-prefs.
But since 3.36.1 the app is optional and no longer accepts arguments on
the command line. To adjust, extensions now need to make a D-Bus call
the extensions portal, just like the app and gnome-shell.
We will add a convenience method for that purpose, so it makes
sense to share the existing code. As it's extension-related, the
extension manager looks like the right place ...

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related
setting that isn't exposed over D-Bus, and therefore requires consumers
to access the GSettings directly.
Expose the setting as UserExtensionsEnabled readwrite property in the
org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface to allow consumers to manage
extensions purely via D-Bus.
The 'disable-user-extensions' setting is the last extension-related
bit from the org.gnome.shell GSettings schema that is not exposed
via D-Bus.

xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy
(surprise, regular expressions are hard), so there are still a
handful of holdouts that prevent us from making a complete switch.

Due to typecasting being done when converting floats to integers in
gnome-settings-daemon, a volume of 0.9% in g-s-d will end up as 0% in
gnome-shell. This can lead to a mismatch of icons between the volume OSD
(the icon to use is determined by g-s-d itself) and the shells own
volume indicator (the icon to use is determined by the shell using the
volume received from g-s-d).
To fix this, simply get rid of the conversion from float to percentage
in g-s-d and back to floats in the shell and just send a float/double
value on DBus.

Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

Now that extension loading and the extensions map are no longer shared
between the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extension-prefs processes, we
can move both into the ExtensionManager which makes much more sense
conceptually.

The existing 'ExtensionStatusChanged' signal has a fixed set of parameters,
which means we cannot add additional state without an API break. Deprecate
it in favor of a new 'ExtensionStateChanged' signal which addresses this
issue by taking the full serialized extension as parameter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Serializing an extension for sending over D-Bus is currently done by the
appropriate D-Bus method implementations. Split out the code as utility
function and add a corresponding deserialization function, which we will
soon use when consuming the D-Bus extension API from the extension-prefs
tool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Extensions are currently enabled or disabled by directly changing the
list in the 'enabled-extensions' GSettings key. As we will soon add
an overriding 'disabled-extensions' key as well, it makes sense to
offer explicit API for enabling/disabling to avoid duplicating the
logic.
For the corresponding D-Bus API, the methods were even mentioned in
the GSettings schema, albeit unimplemented until now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The extension system started out as a set of simple functions, but
gained more state later, and even some hacks to emit signals without
having an object to emit them on.
There is no good reason for that weirdness, so rather than imitating an
object, wrap the existing system into a real ExtensionManager object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Converting a variable to a particular type can be done explicitly (with
functions like Number() or toString()) or implicitly by relying on type
coercion (like concatenating a variable to the empty string to force
a string, or multiplying it with 1 to force a number).
As those tend to be less readable and clear, they are best avoided. So
replace the cases of string coercion we use with template strings, and
clarify the places that can be confused with number coercion.

The monitor index is not something that gnome-shell and
gnome-settings-daemon seem to be agreeing about. Using the connector
string is a much more reliable method of identifying a specific screen
and we are indeed using this already for monitor labling.
So switch over to use the connector rather than the monitor index. If a
user tries to use the old API, then the OSD will simply show up on all
monitors (which is the status quo currently anyway).
