The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
Prior to this commit, we didn't have RTL versions of our admin and plugins CSS bundles and we always served LTR versions of those bundles even when users used an RTL locale, causing admin and plugins UI elements to never look as good as when an LTR locale was used. Example of UI issues prior to this commit were: missing margins, borders on the wrong side and buttons too close to each other etc.
This commit creates an RTL version for the admin CSS bundle as well as RTL bundles for all the installed plugins and serves those RTL bundles to users/sites who use RTL locales.
This lets us use all our normal JS tooling like prettier, esline and babel on the splash screen JS. At runtime the JS file is read and inlined into the HTML. This commit also switches us to use a CSP hash rather than a nonce for the splash screen.

We previously relied on the user's browser when deciding when to show the splash in light/dark mode. This worked well but can fail if the user manually selects a theme with a default "dark" scheme.
This PR will now factor that in. If the user selects a theme with a default dark scheme, use that. If a user selects a theme with a "light" default scheme and also picks a secondary "dark" scheme, use the media detection we had before.
This PR also removes the dark mode theme-color that was added in the previous PR. That will now go in a separate PR
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-discourse-splash-a-visual-preloader-displayed-while-site-assets-load/232003/17
We currently set the theme secondary color as the background for the splash, and this works and respects light/dark modes.
The issue is that we set it on the #d-splash div. That div doesn't have a specified height and only gets its height when the splash image loads.
This can cause a flicker effect where the <HTML> background shows for a fraction of a second while the splash image loads.
This PR sets the theme color on the <HTML> tag to alleviate this. This allows us to set the theme color a little bit sooner and should hopefully prevent the flicker effect from happening.
This PR also adds the theme-color <meta> tag for dark mode. Browsers that don't support multiple theme-color tags will ignore the second tag and fall back to the first one.
The dots in the splash were previously hard-coded (v1). This PR makes progress towards making them be based on current theme colors.
Note that this is an improvement and not the "final" version. We're going to dynamically generate the splash file and the base64 URL later on.
This commit adds preload links for core/plugin/theme CSS stylesheets in the head.
Preload links are non-blocking and run in parallel. This means that they should have already been downloaded by the time we use the actual stylesheets (in the <body> tag).
Google is currently complaining about this here and this PR will address that warning.
This commit will also fix an issue in the splash screen where it sometimes doesn't respect the theme colors - causing a slightly jarring experience on dark themes.
Note that I opted not to add new specs because the underlying work required already has a lot of coverage. The new methods only change the output HTML so we can chuck that in the document <head>
This change also means that we can make all the stylesheets non-render blocking, but that will follow in a separate commit.
We previously used the window load event as a target to remove the splash. The issue with that is that it means we wait for images to download before we remove the splash.
Ember has a better method that we can use ready(). This PR triggers a custom discourse-ready when that happens and uses that as the baseline for removing the splash.
This PR also adds three new performance marks. discourse-ready, discourse-splash-visible, and discourse-splash-removed
These will help us keep track of performance.

We previously relied on CSS animation-delay for the splash. This means that we can get inconsistent results based on device/network conditions.
This PR moves us to a more consistent timing based on {request time + 2 seconds}
Internal topic: /t/65378/65
We currently remove the splash screen once Discourse starts booting.
This can be an issue on very slow devices, which can take up to 6 seconds. This PR ensures that we don't remove the splash until the browser has finished parsing all of the site's assets. It won't impact fast devices.

We use javascript to remove the splash screen when the site boots up. If the user has js disabled, they get stuck on the splash screen.
If the user has js disabled. We don't show the splash screen at all.

This commit does six things
* changes the animation for the splash screen. To a more subtle animation.
* defers displaying the splash by 1.5 seconds
* defers displaying the splash "loading" text by 2.5 seconds
* defers removing the splash until all Discourse initializers have run
* fixes a display issue in Firefox
* Inlines the SVG as a base64 and inlines the required CSS.
The encoded SVG is hard coded for now, but we will use a helper to generate that based on the file after some testing.
This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like

Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
Before this change, calling `StyleSheet::Manager.stylesheet_details`
for the first time resulted in multiple queries to the database. This is
because the code was modelled in a way where each `Theme` was loaded
from the database one at a time.
This PR restructures the code such that it allows us to load all the
theme records in a single query. It also allows us to eager load the
required associations upfront. In order to achieve this, I removed the
support of loading multiple themes per request. It was initially added
to support user selectable theme components but the feature was never
completed and abandoned because it wasn't a feature that we thought was
worth building.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from `analytics.js` to `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. This commit updates core Discourse to use the new `gtag.js` API Google is asking sites to use. This API has feature parity with `analytics.js` but does not use trackers.
A first step to adding automatic dark mode color scheme switching. Adds a new SCSS file at `color_definitions.scss` that serves to output all SCSS color variables as CSS custom properties. And replaces all SCSS color variables with the new CSS custom properties throughout the stylesheets.
This is an alpha feature at this point, can only be enabled via console using the `default_dark_mode_color_scheme_id` site setting.
