Summary

See PHI1059. If you close a task, we apply an "alice closed a subtask: X" transaction to its parents.

This transaction is purely informative, but currently requires CAN_EDIT permission after T13186. However, we'd prefer to post this transaction anyway, even if: the parent is locked; or the parent is not editable by the acting user.

Replace the implicit CAN_EDIT requirement with no requirement.

(This transaction is only applied internally (by closing a subtask) and can't be applied via the API or any other channel, so this doesn't let attackers spam a bunch of bogus subtask closures all over the place or anything.)

Test Plan
  • Created a parent task A with subtask B.
  • Put task A into an "Edits Locked" status.
  • As a user other than the owner of A, closed B.

Then:

  • Before: Policy exception when trying to apply the "alice closed a subtask: B" transaction to A.
  • After: B closed, A got a transaction despite being locked.
