* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
We were changing the user's user_option.bookmark_auto_delete_preference
to whatever they changed it to in the bookmark modal to use as default
for future bookmarks. However this was leading to a lot of confusion
since if you wanted to set it for one bookmark you had to remember to
change it back on the next one.
This commit removes that automatic functionality, and instead moves
the bookmark auto delete preference to User Preferences > Interface
in an explicit dropdown.
This commit adds a new notification that gets sent to admins when the site gets new features after an upgrade/deploy. Clicking on the notification takes the admin to the admin dashboard at `/admin` where they can see the new features under the "New Features" section.

FEATURE: Chat and Sidebar are now on by default
- Set the sidebar site setting to be enabled by default
- Set the chat site setting to be enabled by default
- Updated existing specs that assumed the original default
- Use a migration to keep old defaults for existing sites
When user is watching category or tag (watching or watching first post) notifications are moved to other tab.
To achieve that and distinguish between post create to directly watched topics and indirectly watched topics, new notification type called `watching_category_or_tag` was introduced.
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

The default behavior for Rails is to vary the response of an endpoint based on the `Accept:` header, and therefore it returns a `Vary:` header on responses. This instructs browsers and intermediate proxies to key their caches based on the value of the request's `Accept` header. In some cases (e.g. Akamai), the presence of a `Vary` header is enough to prevent caching entirely.
This commit restructures the Rails route definitions so that:
1. The "format" segment of the route is 'required'
2. The "format" segment of the route is constrained to a single value (e.g. `js` or `css`)
Now that the routes are guaranteed to have a `:format` segment, Rails will always prioritize that over the `Accept` header, and will therefore omit the `Vary` header.
Request specs are also added to test this behaviour for both stylesheets and theme-javascripts.
Note that we don't have a database table and a model for post mentions yet, and I decided to implement it without adding one to avoid heavy data migrations. Still, we may want to add such a model later, that would be convenient, we have such a model for mentions in chat.
Note that status appears on all mentions on all posts in a topic except of the case when you just posted a new post, and it appeared on the bottom of the topic. On such posts, status won't be shown immediately for now (you'll need to reload the page to see the status). I'll take care of it in one of the following PRs.
* FEATURE: Show warning if group cannot be mentioned
A similar warning is displayed when the user cannot be mentioned because
they have not been invited to the topic.
* FEATURE: Resolve mentions for new topic
This commit improves several improvements and refactors
/u/is_local_username route to a better /composer/mentions route that
can handle new topics too.
* FEATURE: Show warning if only some are notified
Sometimes users are still notified even if the group that was mentioned
was not invited to the message. This happens because its members were
invited directly or are members of other groups that were invited.
* DEV: Refactor _warnCannotSeeMention
When uploads are stored on S3, by default Discourse will fetch the avatars and proxy them through to the requesting client. This is simple, but it can lead to significant inbound/outbound network load in the hosting environment.
This commit adds an optional redirect_avatar_requests GlobalSetting. When enabled, requests for user avatars will be redirected to the S3 asset instead of being proxied. This adds an extra round-trip for clients, but it should significantly reduce server load. To mitigate that extra round-trip for clients, a CDN with 'follow redirect' capability could be used.
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.

In this previous commit I introduced a bug that prevented
a legitimate case for an existing user to redeem an invite,
where the email/domain were both blank and the invite was
still redeemable by the user. Fixes the issue and adds more
specs for that case.
I'm hesitant to call this a performance improvement since claiming a
reviewable is probably rare. However, this commit cuts out two DB
queries each time we have to publish a reviewable claimed message. More
importantly, publishing to groups scales much better than publishing to
users because we esstentially cap the number ids we have to load into
memory.
This adds API scope for the user status. This also adds a get method to the user status controller. We didn't need a dedicated method that returns status before because the server returns status with user objects, but I think we need to provide this method for API clients.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.
------
**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
* FEATURE: API to update user's discourse connect external id
This adds a special handling of updates to DiscourseConnect external_id
in the general user update API endpoint.
Admins can create, update or delete a user SingleSignOn record using
PUT /u/:username.json
{
"external_ids": {
"discourse_connect": "new-external-id"
}
}
When opening the invite acceptance page when the user
was already logged in, we were still showing the Accept
Invitation prompt even if the user had already redeemed
the invitation and was present in the `InvitedUser` table.
This would lead to errors when the user clicked on the button.
This commit fixes the issue by hiding the Accept Invitation
button and showing an error message instead indicating that
the user had already redeemed the invitation. This only applies
to multi-use invite links.
The problem was reported as a problem with changing theme in user preferences, after saving a new theme the previously set user status was disappearing (https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-status/240335/42). Turned out though that the problem was more wide, changing pretty much any setting in user preferences apart from user status itself led to clearing the status.
This commit adds some protections in InviteRedeemer to ensure that email
can never be nil, which could cause issues with inviting the invited
person to private topics since there was an incorrect inner join.
If the email is nil and the invite is scoped to an email, we just use
that invite.email unconditionally. If a redeeming_user (an existing
user) is passed in when redeeming an email, we use their email to
override the passed in email. Otherwise we just use the passed in
email. We now raise an error after all this if the email is still nil.
This commit also adds some tests to catch the private topic fix, and
some general improvements and comments around the invite code.
This commit also includes a migration to delete TopicAllowedUser records
for users who were mistakenly added to topics as part of the invite
redemption process.
Currently, moderators are able to set primary group for users
irrespective of the of the `moderators_manage_categories_and_groups` site

We have a banner that prompts to edit the welcome topic, so let's not
show it in the topic list until it has been edited. Previously this
banner covered the welcome topic, now the banner will be above the topic
list, so we need to hide the welcome topic.
* DEV: Add a dedicated Admin::StaffController base controller
The current parent(Admin:AdminController) for all admin-related controllers
uses a filter that allows only staff(admin, moderator) users.
This refactor makes Admin::AdminController filter for only admins as the name suggests and
introduces a base controller dedicated for staff-related endpoints.
* DEV: Set staff-only controllers parent to Admin::StaffController
Refactor staff-only controllers to inherit newly introduced
Admin::StaffController abstract controller. This conveys the
purpose of the parent controller better unlike the previously used parent
controller.
* FIX: Follow up fixes for password-reset error page
Pass in `base_url` to the template
Use `.html_safe` since the message now contains html

Before this commit, we did not have guardian checks in place to determine if a
topic's title associated with a user badge should be displayed or not.
This means that the topic title of topics with restricted access
could be leaked to anon and users without access if certain conditions
are met. While we will not specify the conditions required, we have internally
assessed that the odds of meeting such conditions are low.
With this commit, we will now apply a guardian check to ensure that the
current user is able to see a topic before the topic's title is included
in the serialized object of a `UserBadge`.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

The `active` param on the create user endpoint requires that an api key
is used in the request header otherwise it is ignored, so adding this
distinction to the api docs.
* DEV: Use list controller and action
It used an empty action handler which just returned the app and it
required another request to get the topic list. By using the correct
controller and action we can preload the topic list.
Our theme system injects a magical `settings` object at the top of themes JS modules to allow theme authors to access the settings as configured by admins in the UI. Within this `settings` object, there are a couple of special objects `theme_uploads` and `theme_uploads_local` that contain URLs for all the assets/uploads that the theme has.
For test modules/files, the theme system also injects a `settings` object at the top of tests modules, but it's not the same object as the object that's injected in non-test files. The difference is that in tests we want the settings to have their default values as opposed to any custom values that may exist in the site's database. This ensures that test results are consistent no matter the site that runs them.
However, the `settings` object in tests files currently doesn't have the special objects `theme_uploads` and `theme_uploads_local` which means that if a theme includes an asset that's lazy-loaded, it's not possible to write tests for anything that depends on the lazy-loaded asset because the theme will not be able to load the asset during the tests since `theme_uploads_local` and `theme_uploads` don't exist. This PR adds these special objects inside the `settings` object for test files.

This commit excludes posts from hidden topics from the latest posts and user activity RSS feeds. Additionally, it also excludes small actions from the first one.
Theme javascript is now minified using Terser, just like our core/plugin JS bundles. This reduces the amount of data sent over the network.
This commit also introduces sourcemaps for theme JS. Browser developer tools will now be able show each source file separately when browsing, and also in backtraces.
For theme test JS, the sourcemap is inlined for simplicity. Network load is not a concern for tests.
The previous implementation would attempt to fetch groups using the end-user's Google auth token. This only worked for admin accounts, or users with 'delegated' access to the `admin.directory.group.readonly` API.
This commit changes the approach to use a single 'service account' for fetching the groups. This removes the need to add permissions to all regular user accounts. I'll be updating the [meta docs](https://meta.discourse.org/t/226850) with instructions on setting up the service account.
This is technically a breaking change in behavior, but the existing implementation was marked experimental, and is currently unusable in production google workspace environments.

Experiment moving from preload tags in the document head to preload information the the response headers.
While this is a minor improvement in most browsers (headers are parsed before the response body), this allows smart proxies like Cloudflare to "learn" from those headers and build HTTP 103 Early Hints for subsequent requests to the same URI, which will allow the user agent to download and parse our JS/CSS while we are waiting for the server to generate and stream the HTML response.

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This commit adds non-archived group messages and `group_message_summary` notifications in the messages tab in the user menu. With this change, the messages tab in the user menu now includes 3 types of items:
1. Unread `private_message` notifications (notifications when you receive a reply in a PM)
2. Unread and read `group_message_summary` notifications (notifications when there's a new message in a group inbox that you track)
3. Non-archived personal and group messages
Unread `private_message` notifications are always shown first, followed by unread `group_message_summary` notifications, and then everything else (messages and read `group_message_summary` notifications) sorted by recency (most recent first).

This commit renames all secure_media related settings to secure_uploads_* along with the associated functionality.
This is being done because "media" does not really cover it, we aren't just doing this for images and videos etc. but for all uploads in the site.
Additionally, in future we want to secure more types of uploads, and enable a kind of "mixed mode" where some uploads are secure and some are not, so keeping media in the name is just confusing.
This also keeps compatibility with the `secure-media-uploads` path, and changes new
secure URLs to be `secure-uploads`.
Deprecated settings:
* secure_media -> secure_uploads
* secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails -> secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
* secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb -> secure_uploads_max_email_embed_image_size_kb
* FEATURE: add composer warning when user haven't been seen in a long time
When a user creates a PM and adds a recipient that hasn't been seen in a
long time then we'll now show a warning in composer indicating that the
user hasn't been seen in a long time.
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
We previously had a system which would generate a 10x10px preview of images and add their URLs in a data-small-upload attribute. The client would then use that as the background-image of the `<img>` element. This works reasonably well on fast connections, but on slower connections it can take a few seconds for the placeholders to appear. The act of loading the placeholders can also break or delay the loading of the 'real' images.
This commit replaces the placeholder logic with a new approach. Instead of a 10x10px preview, we use imagemagick to calculate the average color of an image and store it in the database. The hex color value then added as a `data-dominant-color` attribute on the `<img>` element, and the client can use this as a `background-color` on the element while the real image is loading. That means no extra HTTP request is required, and so the placeholder color can appear instantly.
Dominant color will be calculated:
1. When a new upload is created
2. During a post rebake, if the dominant color is missing from an upload, it will be calculated and stored
3. Every 15 minutes, 25 old upload records are fetched and their dominant color calculated and stored. (part of the existing PeriodicalUpdates job)
Existing posts will continue to use the old 10x10px placeholder system until they are next rebaked
When tagging is enabled, we were correctly serializing tags by their name. However, when tagging was disabled we were attempting to serialize an entire Tag object which raises an error since ee07f6da7d.

Right now the experimental user menu sorts notifications the same way that the old menu does: unread high-priority notifications are shown first in reverse-chronological order followed by everything else also in reverse-chronological order. However, since the experimental user menu has dedicated tabs for some notification types and each tab displays a badge with the count of unread notifications in the tab, we feel like it makes sense to change how notifications are sorted in the experimental user menu to this:
1. unread high-priority notifications
2. unread regular notifications
3. all read notifications (both high-priority and regular)
4. within each group, notifications are sorted in reverse-chronological order (i.e. newest is shown first).
This new sorting logic applies to all tabs in the experimental user menu, however it doesn't change anything in the old menu. With this change, if a tab in the experimental user menu shows an unread notification badge for a really old notification, it will be surfaced to the top and prevents confusing scenarios where a user sees an unread notification badge on a tab, but the tab doesn't show the unread notification because it's too old to make it to the list.

The generate RSA key and import theme routes worked separate from each
other. The RSA key returned both the public and private key and it was
the frontend which posted the private key back to the server. With this
commit, only the public key is necessary as the server keeps a map of
public and private keys that is used to get the private key back from
a public key.
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.
When preloading topic_list data we were giving it a 'preload key' which was loosely based on the parameters of the list. However, it did not include all parameters, and mismatches between client/server-side logic would cause the preloaded data to be ignored.
This commit simplifies things by using a single key for all topic_list preloading. This works on the assumption that "The first topic_list the JS app will load is the one which was preloaded". That assumption also existed to some extent in the old design, so we don't expect any regressions here.
The logic to determine what post excerpt to show for
a topic-level bookmark based on the last unread post
was complex and slow, so we decided to remove it and
always just use the first post excerpt.
This commit also fixes an issue where a couple of
instances of for_topic were missed when doing the
Bookmarkable refactors, so:
1. Clicking the topic bookmark link was not taking
the user to the last unread post
2. When replying to a topic where there was a topic
level bookmark with the auto delete preference
of "on owner reply", we were not removing the
bookmark from the UI correctly.
A test has been added for the former, the latter would
be quite time-consuming to test and not really worth
it considering it's quite an edge case UI bug.
Previously, for every bookmarked topic, all topic_user records were being preloaded. Only the current user's record is actually required.
This commit introduces a new `perform_custom_preload!` API which bookmarkables can use to add custom preloading logic. We use this in topic_bookmarkable to load just the topic_user data we need (in the same way as `topic_list.rb`).

Previously, this would require manually adding `?safe_mode=...` multiple times during the email-based login flow. `/u/admin-login` is often used when debugging a site, so it makes sense for this to be easier.
This commit introduces a new checkbox on the `/u/admin-login` screen. When checked, it'll set the safe_mode parameter on the `/email-login` link, and then pass it all the way through to the homepage redirect.
A public key must be added to GitHub when installing private themes.
When the process happens asynchronously (for example if the admin does
not have admin permissions to the GitHub repository), installing
private themes becomes very difficult.
In this case, the Discourse admin can partially install the theme by
letting Discourse save the private key, create a placeholder theme and
give the admin a public key to be used as a deploy key. After the key
is installed, the admin can finish theme installation by pressing a
button on the theme page.
Hard deleting topics that contained soft deleted posts or small actions
used to create orphan posts because only the first post was hard
deleted. This commit adds an error message if there are still posts left
in the topic that must be hard deleted first or hard deletes all small
actions too immediately (there is no other way of hard deleting a small
action because there is no wrench menu).
Some of the changes in this PR are extracted from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
Similar to the bookmarks tab in the new user menu, the messages tab also displays a mix of notifications and messages. When there are unread message notifications, the tab displays all of these notifications at the top and fills the remaining space in the menu with a list of the user's messages. The bubble/badge count on the messages tab indicates how many unread message notifications there are.
Some of the changes in this commit are extracted from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
The bookmarks tab in the new user menu is different from the other tabs in that it can display a mixture of notifications and bookmarks. When there are unread bookmark reminder notifications, the tab displays all of these notifications at the top and fills the remaining space in the menu with the rest of the bookmarks. The bubble/badge count on the bookmarks tab indicates how many unread bookmark reminder notifications there are.
On the technical aspect, since this commit introduces a new `bookmark-item` component, we've done some refactoring so that all 3 "item" components (`notification-item`, `reviewable-item` and the new `bookmark-item`) inherit from a base component and get identical HTML structure so they all look consistent.
