Remove PAT field for Code Suggestions: UI part
What does this MR do and why?
PAT field is no longer required in App Settings from 16.3: !127987 (merged)
From 16.4, we remove it from UI, and all the related backend code, and start the column deprecation process.
The reason for that is switching to a different authentication mechanism that was introduced in 16.3. That new flow will no longer use PAT field.
This MR is for UI (user-facing) changes only.
While removing the PAT field from UI will be fully completed in %16.4, we will need three releases (%16.4 , %16.5 , %16.6 ) to fully remove the column safely. It will be tracked in #422174 (closed) in done in a separate MR.
The backend code that uses ::Gitlab::CurrentSettings.ai_access_token
will be removed separately under #422379 (closed).
Docs will be updated separately under #422052 (closed).
I am doing UI MR separately for various reasons:
- it will require frontend review. It also touches locales. Other changes won't.
- this is the only MR in a series that does user-facing changes (aside from documentation)
- as a result, manual testing is different for this MR and could be concentrated exclusively on the AppSetting page
- iteration: to ship smaller changes
Screenshots or screen recordings
Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.
