Previously when an admin user changed a user's email we assumed that they would need a password reset too because they likely did not have access to their account. This proved to be incorrect, as there are other reasons a user needs admin to change their email. This PR:
* Changes the admin change email for user flow so the user is sent an email to confirm the change
* We now record who the email change request was requested by
* If the requested by user is admin and not the user we note this in the email sent to the user
* We also make the confirm change email route open to anonymous users, so it can be clicked by the user even if they do not have access to their account. If there is a logged in user we make sure the confirmation matches the current user.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-a-users-email/164512 for context.
When admin changes an email for a user, we were incorrectly sending the password reset email to the user's old address. Also the new email does not come into effect until the reset password process is done, so this PR adds some notes to the admin to make this clearer.
A follow-up correction to this change https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/9001.
When admin changes staff email still enforce old email confirm. Only allow auto-confirm of a new email by admin IF the target user is not also an admin. If an admin gets locked out of their email the site admin can use the rails console to solve the issue in a pinch.
When admin changes a user's email from the preferences page of that user:
* The user will not be sent an email to confirm that their
email is changing. They will be sent a reset password email
so they can set the password for their account at the new
email address.
* The user will still be sent an email to their old email to inform
them that it was changed.
* Admin and staff users still need to follow the same old + new
confirm process, as do users changing their own email.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
