feat(feedback): add reply and status tracking for user feedback

[rebelchris]

Summary

• add FeedbackReply persistence with author metadata and expose replies in feedback GraphQL responses
• extend Linear webhook handling to process @reply comments, store replies, and send Customer.io transactional emails
• keep in-app notifications only for terminal feedback statuses and update feedback notification target to /settings/feedback
• add moderator-gated feedbackList query and authenticated userFeedback query with cursor pagination and filters

Key decisions

• replies are email-only to avoid duplicate in-app notifications for personal moderator responses
• terminal status updates reuse existing deduped notification types and now point to a single feedback history destination
• responder email is stored server-side for reply_to use and not exposed through GraphQL

Closes ENG-855

🍹 The Update (preview) for dailydotdev/api/prod (at 79708c3) was successful.

✨ Neo Explanation

This is a standard application version rollout: all services and cron jobs are being updated to the latest container image, with new database and ClickHouse migration jobs created to handle any schema changes introduced by this release.

Root Cause Analysis

A new version of the application has been deployed. Every Kubernetes resource — deployments and cron jobs — is being updated to point to the new container image, replacing the previous build with the latest one.

Dependency Chain

The new application version cascades uniformly across all workloads:

• 7 Deployments (API, background workers, WebSocket, Temporal, personalized digest, private, worker-job) are all updated to pull the new container image and have their version labels updated accordingly.
• 33 CronJobs are similarly updated to use the new image for their next scheduled runs.
• Database & ClickHouse migration Jobs: The old migration jobs (tied to the previous version) are deleted, and new migration jobs for the new version are created. This is the standard pattern for running schema migrations as part of a deploy — the new jobs will execute typeorm migration:run and runClickhouseMigrations.js against the new build before (or alongside) the deployments rolling out.

Risk Analysis

No stateful resources (databases, storage, persistent volumes) are being replaced or deleted. The migration jobs are ephemeral by design and follow the existing pattern. All deployment updates are in-place rolling updates, so no downtime is expected.

Fixing CircleCI Issues

• Check CI status and identify failures
• Read relevant files
• Fix TypeScript type error in src/routes/webhooks/linear.ts
• Push changes

Root cause: CioTransactionalMessageTemplateId.FeedbackReply = null (added as a placeholder per reviewer suggestion) was used as transactional_message_id in the sendEmail call. The Customer.io SDK's SendEmailRequestWithTemplate expects transactional_message_id: string | number, so TypeScript failed to compile.

Fix: Added a type assertion as unknown as string at the usage site in src/routes/webhooks/linear.ts:142. This is a two-step assertion (null → unknown → string) that satisfies TypeScript while preserving the null placeholder semantic in the enum. Once the actual Customer.io template is created and assigned an ID, the enum value can be updated (e.g., FeedbackReply = '85') and the cast removed.

Fixing Linting Issues

• Gather context
• Identify linting error
• Fix and push

Root cause: FeedbackReply = null is invalid in a TypeScript string enum. Since all other members use string literals ('51', '52', etc.), TypeScript treats this as a string enum and requires every member to be a string literal. null is neither a string literal nor a valid computed string expression, so TypeScript rejects it during compilation.

Fix applied in two files:

1. src/common/mailing.ts — Changed FeedbackReply = null → FeedbackReply = ''. An empty string is a valid string enum member and is falsy at runtime, preserving the "not yet assigned" semantics.

2. src/routes/webhooks/linear.ts — Added && CioTransactionalMessageTemplateId.FeedbackReply guard to the sendEmail condition (skips email when the template ID is empty), and removed the now-unnecessary as unknown as string cast.

Once a real Customer.io template ID is created, just update FeedbackReply = '85' (or whatever the ID is) and the email will start sending automatically.

Did not look at specifics but flow wise looks ok.

Fixing Lint Issues

• Gather context
• Identify failing CI — CircleCI build-app job failing at pnpm run build
• Fix TypeScript type errors in src/schema/feedback.ts
• Push changes

Root cause: In src/schema/feedback.ts, the feedbackList resolver typed args.status and args.category as number. These were then assigned to Partial<Pick<Feedback, 'status' | 'category'>> which expects FeedbackStatus (a TypeScript enum) and UserFeedbackCategory (a proto enum) — TypeScript strict mode ("strict": true in tsconfig) rejects number → FeedbackStatus assignments.

Fix: Added import { UserFeedbackCategory } from '@dailydotdev/schema' and changed the resolver args type from { status?: number; category?: number } to { status?: FeedbackStatus; category?: UserFeedbackCategory }.

Fixing Lint Issues

• Check CI status and identify failures
• Read relevant files
• Fix lint issues
• Push changes

Root cause: src/schema/feedback.ts imported ZodError from 'zod/v4' — a subpath that doesn't follow the convention used everywhere else in the codebase. All other files (including src/index.ts) import from 'zod' directly.

Fix: Changed import { ZodError } from 'zod/v4' → import { ZodError } from 'zod' in src/schema/feedback.ts.

Fixed Prettier Formatting

• Identify the issue
• Fix formatting in src/routes/webhooks/linear.ts:141
• Commit and push

Line 141 had transactional_message_id: CioTransactionalMessageTemplateId.FeedbackReply, exceeding the line length limit. Broke it onto two lines as prettier requires.
