Changelog Entry

Description

This pull request introduces a new backend endpoint to handle bulk unarchiving of all chats for a user. The frontend has been updated to use this new endpoint, which resolves a performance issue where each chat was being unarchived individually, potentially overloading the server.

Added

New backend endpoint /chats/unarchive/all to unarchive all of a user's chats in a single request.
New unarchive_all_chats_by_user_id method in the Chats database model.
New unarchiveAllChats API function in the frontend to call the new backend endpoint.

Changed

The unarchiveAllHandler function in ArchivedChatsModal.svelte now calls the new unarchiveAllChats API function instead of looping through and unarchiving chats one by one.

Removed

The client-side loop for unarchiving all chats in ArchivedChatsModal.svelte.

Fixed

A performance issue that could cause a large number of requests to be sent to the server when unarchiving all chats.

Additional Information

This change addresses the problem of potential server overload from excessive individual unarchive requests.
Related comment provided by maintainer about the previous implementation attempt of mine to speed up the process of un-archiving all archived chats - https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/17831#issuecomment-3343868719
