Only `world_readable` can be considered as opting into having history publicly on the web. Anything else must not be archived until there's a dedicated state event for opting into archiving.
- Default to a nice `[matrix]` banner
- There is room for improvement here when the Matrix Public Archive gets it's own logo (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/94) and maybe says "Matrix Public Archive" somewhere in the banner.
- This is good enough for now (and certainly better than downstream previews using the first image on the page).
- For rooms, it will use the room avatar

Image is sized to 1200x630 to match conventions of `og:image`.
Crafted the banner image by modifying the header on the room directory homepage and taking a node screenshot. Page zoom @ 175%
Set `X-Date-Temporal-Context: [past|present|future]` header for easy cache rules:
- Cache `past` things heavily
- Cache `present`/`future` things for 5 minutes
This accomplishes the goal we set out for:
> - We can cache all responses except for the latest UTC day (and anything in the future). ex. `/!aMzLHLvScQCGKDNqCB:gitter.im/date/2022/10/13`
> - For the latest day, we could set the cache expire after 5 minutes or so
>
> *-- [Matrix Public Archive deployment issue](https://github.com/vector-im/sre-internal/issues/2079)*
And this way we don't have to do any fancy date parsing and comparison from the URL which is probably not even possible Cloudflare cache rules.
- Rename `public` -> `client` so it doesn't get copied automagically as-is (without hashes which we want for cache busting), https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html#the-public-directory
- We still build the version files to `public/` so their copied as-is and Vite handles it for us (so we can use `emptyOutDir`)
- Use a multiple entrypoint `.js` Vite build so things can be more intelligently bundled and take less time
- We aren't using library mode because it doesn't minify or bundle assets
- Using hash asset tags for cache busting. Hash of the file included in the file name
- We lookup these hashed assets from `manifest.json` that Vite builds (https://vitejs.dev/guide/backend-integration.html) to serve and preload
- In terms of optimized bundles, I know the current output isn't great now but will have to opt to fix that up separately in the future. Tracked by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/176

Other updates:
- Update tests to use `/roomid/room1/date/2022/01/03` format instead of trying to retrofit the weird alias stuff on there. Which also makes the fancy to actual URL utilities much more simple.
- Update to specify `archiveMessageLimit` in the test case because pages have different number of events depending on if we are against a boundary, hidden events, etc.
- Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/7
- A URL with time looks like
- `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59`
- Or when more precision is required (seconds): `/r/too-many-messages-on-day:my.synapse.server/date/2022/11/16T23:59:59`
- Add new custom time picker/scrubber (pictured below) with momentum scrubbing
- Native built-in `<input type="time">` for easier picking if you prefer that and accessibility.
- Uses localized time strings
- Design inspired by Thiago Sanchez's *Time Zone Translate* concept, https://dribbble.com/shots/14590546-Time-Zone-Translate

Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/pull/71
Summary:
- Changes the "Jump to next activity in room" to actually continue you to the next 100 messages ahead. Previously, it only jumped you to the single next event in the room which meant a lot of backwards overlap each time.
- Jumping this direction will also start your scroll position at the top of the timeline to continue reading seamlessly `?continue=top`
- Adds "Jump to previous activity in room" to the top of the timeline to continue reading the previous part of the conversation.
[1]: There is a caveat with seamless here which is also commented on in the code:
> XXX: This is flawed in the fact that when we go `/messages?dir=b` it could backfill messages which will fill up the response before we perfectly connect and continue from the position they were jumping from before. When `/messages?dir=f` backfills, we won't have this problem anymore because any messages backfilled in the forwards direction would be picked up the same going backwards.
(need forwards fill MSC)
Also does friendly redirects if you don't exactly use the right URL pattern.
For example, if you paste the full room ID with the `!` like `/roomid/!foo:bar`,
it will properly redirect you to `/roomid/foo:bar`. It also does this sort of
thing for URL encoded room ID's and aliases.

1. Add surrounding messages to the given messages so we have a full screen of content to make it feel lively even in quiet rooms
- As you scroll around the timeline across different days, the date changes in the URL, calendar, etc
2. Add summary item to the bottom of the timeline that explains if we couldn't find any messages in the specific day requested
- Also allows you to the jump to the next activity in the room. Adds `/:roomId/jump?ts=xxx&dir=[f|b]` to facilitate this.
- Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/46
3. Add developer options modal which is linked from the bottom of the right-panel
- Adds an option so you can debug the `IntersectionObserver` and how it's selecting the active day from the top-edge of the scroll viewport.
- In the future, this will also include a nice little visualization of the backend timing traces
