Some clients were sending join_authorized_via_users_server when they
were already in the room, to change nicknames. This caused an undesirable
error, so it is simply stripped from event instead.

Fixes: #1542

Please do not open a PR if all you have done is asked ChatGPT to tidy up the codebase with a +-100,000 diff. - In the case of code style violations, reviewers may leave review comments/change requests indicating what the ideal change would look like. For example, a reviewer may suggest you lower a log level, or use `match` instead of `if/else` etc. - In the case of code style violations, pre-commit check failures, minor things like typos/spelling errors, and in some cases commit format violations, reviewers may modify your branch directly, typically by making changes and adding a commit. Particularly in the latter case, a reviewer may rebase your commits to squash "spammy" ones (like "fix", "fix", "actually fix"), and reword commit messages that don't satisfy the format. - Pull requests MUST pass the `Checks` CI workflows to be capable of being merged. This can only be bypassed in exceptional circumstances. If your CI flakes, let us know in matrix:r/dev:continuwuity.org. - Pull requests have to be based on the latest `main` commit before being merged. If the main branch changes while you're making your changes, you should make sure you rebase on main before opening a PR. Your branch will be rebased on main before it is merged if it has fallen behind. - We typically only do fast-forward merges, so your entire commit log will be included. Once in main, it's difficult to get out cleanly, so put on your best dress, smile for the cameras! --> [c1]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md [c2]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/docs/development/code_style.mdx [c1pc]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#pre-commit-checks [c1t]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-tests-locally [c1cm]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-messages [n1]: https://towncrier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#creating-news-fragments

I think you can just json.remove("join_authorized_via_users_server") rather than cloning the deserialised object and re-serializing it again

I'm planning on getting rid of the extra clone(). To be honest, if I was just going to do this, I should've just kept mut membership_content. I had been using that section as a scratchpad for testing, and left it in. It doesn't look like there is anything we can do with the json object, other than to turn it into a string using json.json().get(). If we are going to deserialize, modify, serialize, I think using the existing deserialized object makes sense (without the extra clone), but I will 100% do it your way (or any maintainer). I'm not here to be stubborn.

I'm going to continue studying, but I'm tempted to go for a raw string manipulation solution. Almost everything I've seen deserialises into a map and calls remove() (it's just hidden from plain sight), and not really offering any performance benefit over the struct we already have. A better solution might involve manual parsing.

This test seems a bit superfluous, you're not really testing anything.

I want to remove this before it gets pulled into main, but this is my best idea to show that a particular couple of lines do work, as intended. Otherwise, I would have to use "Just trust me", as an argument. I don't think I would find that very convincing. But yeah, definitely shouldn't get pushed to main.

Seems OK to me. Pays the cost of an additional serialisation in this case but that's totally fine.
