Feature: Recent Section

[eylulnc]

Problem Description

The Recent section was missing in the conversation list, and no dedicated feature existed to display conversations based on their temporal relevance. This created inconsistencies with the iOS and Web implementations, which already have a Recent section for filtering conversations within a defined time range (e.g., for exercises, lectures, and exams).

Changes

New Recent Section Implementation:

• Added a dedicated Recent section to the conversation list to align with the iOS and Web platforms.
• The section filters conversations based on the following logic:
  • Exercises: Include conversations with release or due dates within 10 days before or after the current date.
  • Lectures: Include conversations with start or end dates within 10 days before or after the current date.
    - Exams: Include conversations created within 10 days before or after the current date.
• Conversations outside these ranges are excluded from the Recent section.

Steps for testing

• Create exercises, exams, and lectures in the system with varying dates:
  • Exercises with release or due dates within 10 days before or after the current date.
  • Lectures with start or end dates within 10 days before or after the current date.
    - Exams with creation dates within 10 days before or after the current date.
  • Additionally, create conversations outside the 10-day range and mark some conversations as archived or hidden.
• Navigate to Conversation Overview:
• Verify Recent Section Logic:
  • Exercises:
    • Check that exercises with release or due dates within the 10-day range appear in the Recent section.
    • Verify that exercises outside the date range do not appear.
  • Lectures:
    • Ensure lectures with start or end dates within the 10-day range appear in the Recent section.
    • Confirm that lectures outside the date range are not listed.
      Exams:
      Verify that exams with creation dates within the 10-day range are displayed.
      Check that exams outside the range are not included.
  • Exclude Archived/Hidden Conversations:
    • Verify that conversations marked as archived or hidden are excluded from the Recent section, even if their dates fall within the 10-day range.

Tested with exam, lecture, and exercise, works as described.

While testing, I noticed that we can currently not straight-away tell which category (exam, lecture, exercise) the chat in the recents section belong to. We should not remove the conversation-prefix here imo

You are right, I have updated the prefix

@FelberMartin @julian-wls should I remove the exam part as we speak and work it on after we decide to add the exam module. Or we I leave it as it is?

Lgtm now

For me it would be fine to leave it as is for now, but do however you see fit, I dont have a strong opinion on it :D

Just to align with iOS I will remove it and in the future we can add it in a more meaningful way

Just tested it. Works as expected.
