The contributing docs don't mention docker compose down, so contributors unfamiliar with Docker Compose might end up leaving the containers on their machines.

I think we can simplify the dev environment setup using a Makefile so that a single command can run all the necessary scripts:

Fixes #767.

Fixed some typos. Also:

This section says that squashing and merging pull requests helps prevent losing the commit history which is not true. I've streamlined the section to remove that part.

The Getting Started section of the README talks about choosing an AI provider and entering an API key, but fails to mention where to find these settings and that these steps are optional:

https://github.com/tarasglek/chatcraft.org/blob/747d1026e3eee0ca3db829b2f09fe9ded42b83e2/README.md?plain=1#L33-L42

We could either remove those steps for the sake of simplicity (since it is supposed to be "Getting Started"), or label them as optional and mention where users can find those options.

I'd like a setting that makes the app theme change dynamically when the system theme changes.

I think setting useSystemColorMode to true if the setting is toggled on would work:

https://github.com/tarasglek/chatcraft.org/blob/c2f7165a7225492dcd1c1ef18e65272e3f5f59ab/src/theme.ts#L5-L10

Maybe also hide/disable the theme toggle button when this is on?

This pull request adds a user setting to the webapp to toggle rendering emoticons (:D) as emojis (😄).

The setting is added as a component in components/user_settings/display/render_emoticons_as_emoji/ which is imported in components/user_settings/display/user_settings_display.tsx.

I've added a renderOnOffLabel() function to user_settings_display.tsx, lifted from components/user_settings/advanced/user_settings_advanced.tsx to help render the new component.

The setting is stored as a user preference using the savePreferences() action.

I've added constants for the preference to utils/constants.tsx and webapp/channels/src/packages/mattermost-redux/src/constants/preferences.ts.

To actually use the setting, I've modified components/post_markdown to receive it's value as a prop, for which I've used getBool() and added a default value to the config. post_markdown passes this value down to Markdown on the options object, which then passes it down to utils/text_formatting.tsx, which finally passes the value to emoticons.tsx as a newly added parameter. emoticons.tsx checks whether the value is true and if it is, it transforms the emoticons into emojis.

I've updated affected tests and created unit tests for the new component. I've also updated the English translation file.

1. Navigate to User Settings.
2. Go to the Display category.
3. Find the section labelled "Auto-render emoticons as emoji" and click "Edit".
4. Toggle the setting and click "Save".
5. Emoticon rendering on messages sent by the current user and other users should be toggled client-side with the setting.

Fixes (partially) https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/26504 Jira https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-53650

Note the issue and ticket describe adding this feature to the mobile app as well, which this PR does not.
