A little architecture trick here! DTI 2020 authorizes support staff requests by means of a secret token, instead of user account stuff. And our support tools still all call DTI 2020 APIs. So here, we bridge the gap: we copy DTI 2020's support secret to this app's environment variables (I needed to update `deploy/files/production.env` and run `bin/deploy:setup` for this!), then users with the new `support_secret` flag have it added to their HTML documents in the meta tags. Then, the JS reads the meta tag. I also fixed an issue in the `deploy/setup.yml` playbook, where I had temporarily commented some stuff out to skip steps one time, and forgot to uncomment them after oops lol!

/**
|
|
* useSupport returns the Support secret that the server requires for Support
|
|
* actions... if the user has it set. For most users, this returns nothing!
|
|
*
|
|
* This is specifically for communications for Impress 2020, which authorizes
|
|
* support requests using a shared support secret instead of user accounts.
|
|
* (This isn't a great model, we should abandon it in favor of true authorized
|
|
* requests as we deprecate Impress 2020!)
|
|
*
|
|
* Specifically, we return an object of:
|
|
* - isSupportUser: true iff the `supportSecret` is set
|
|
* - supportSecret: the secret saved to this device, or null if not set
|
|
*
|
|
* To become a Support user, get the `support_staff` flag set on your user
|
|
* account. Then, `getSupportSecret` will read the support secret from the HTML
|
|
* document. (If the flag is off, the HTML document does not contain the
|
|
* secret.)
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that this hook doesn't check that the secret is *correct*, so it's
|
|
* possible that it will return an invalid secret. That's okay, because
|
|
* the server checks the provided secret for each Support request.
