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.
When we show the links to installed plugins in the admin
sidebar (for plugins that have custom admin routes) we were
previously only doing this if you opened /admin, not if you
navigated there from the main forum. We should just always
preload this data if the user is admin.
This commit also changes `admin_sidebar_enabled_groups` to
not be sent to the client as part of ongoing efforts to
not check groups on the client, since not all a user's groups
may be serialized.
Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.
Affects the following settings:
* whispers_allowed_groups
* anonymous_posting_allowed_groups
* personal_message_enabled_groups
* shared_drafts_allowed_groups
* here_mention_allowed_groups
* uploaded_avatars_allowed_groups
* ignore_allowed_groups
This turns off `client: true` for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
- Created a new migration for here_mention
- Updated existing migration for here_mention
- Updated site settings for here_mention, create_tag, and
send_email_messages
* DEV: Update min trust level to tag topics migration to groups
- Update the existing migration to include staff and admin
- Update default values
- Added migration to include staff and admin cases
Checking group permissions on the client does not work,
since not all groups are serialized to the client all
the time. We can check `uploaded_avatars_allowed_groups`
on the server side and serialize to the current user
instead.
There are some cases where staff (admins/mods) can
be in lower trust levels, so some of these checks will
fail for them. Since we want to keep allowing this (for now)
we should set most settings to also default to be allowed
for staff too, since the old `has_trust_level?` check
worked in this way.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_for_user_api_key site setting to user_api_key_allowed_groups.
This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
If configuring only moderators in a group based access setting, the mapping to the old setting wouldn't work correctly, because the case was unaccounted for.
This PR accounts for moderators group when doing the mapping.

- Decrease gravity, we come in too hot prioritizing too many new topics
- Remove all muted topics / categories and tags from the hot list
- Punish topics with zero likes in algorithm
This introduces a new experimental hot sort ordering.
It attempts to float top conversations by first prioritizing a topics with lots of recent activity (likes and users responding)
The schedule that updates hot topics is disabled unless the hidden site setting: `experimental_hot_topics` is enabled.
You can control "decay" with `hot_topic_gravity` and `recency` with `hot_topics_recent_days`
Data is stored in the new `topic_hot_scores` table and you can check it out on the `/hot` route once
enabled.

Merges the design experiment at
https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-quote-copy-to-clipboard-button-feedback/285376
into core.
This adds a new button by default to the menu that pops up when text is
selected in a post.
The normal Quote button that is shown when selecting text within a post
will open the composer with the quote markdown prefilled.
This new "Copy Quote" button copies the quote markdown directly to the
user’s clipboard. This is useful for when you want to copy the quote
elsewhere – to another topic or a chat message for instance – without
having to manually copy from the opened composer, which then has to be
dismissed afterwards. An example of quote markdown:
```
[quote="someuser, post:7, topic:285376"]
In this moment, I am euphoric.
[/quote]
```

This is enabled by default, but can be disabled via the `warn_critical_js_deprecations` hidden site setting.
The `warn_critical_js_deprecations_message` site setting can be used by hosting providers to add a sentence to the warning message (e.g. a date when they will be deploying the Ember 5 upgrade).
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki site setting to self_wiki_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
Why this change?
This is part of our efforts to harden the security of the Discourse
application. Setting the `CROSS_ORIGIN_OPENER_POLICY` header to `same-origin-allow-popups`
by default makes the application safer. We have opted to make this a
hidden site setting because most admins will never have to care about
this setting so we're are opting not to show it. If they do have to
change it, they can still do so by setting the
`DISCOURSE_CROSS_ORIGIN_OPENER_POLICY` env.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_allow_invite site setting to invite_allowed_groups.

This is v0 of admin sidebar navigation, which moves
all of the top-level admin nav from the top of the page
into a sidebar. This is hidden behind a enable_admin_sidebar_navigation
site setting, and is opt-in for now.
This sidebar is dynamically shown whenever the user enters an
admin route in the UI, and is hidden and replaced with either
the:
* Main forum sidebar
* Chat sidebar
Depending on where they navigate to. For now, custom sections
are not supported in the admin sidebar.
This commit removes the experimental admin sidebar generation rake
task but keeps the experimental sidebar UI for now for further
testing; it just uses the real nav as the default now.

This one is a bit different from previous ones, as it's a boolean flag, and the default should be no group. Pay special attention to the migration during review.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_flag_posts site setting to flag_post_allowed_groups.
Note: In the original setting, "posts" is plural. I have changed this to "post" singular in the new setting to match others.

The old implementation will co-exist for a short period while I update any references in plugins and themes.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.

- Add a deprecation warning
- Updates to use the new setting
- Adds a migration to fill in the new setting if the old setting was
changed
- Adds an entry to the site_setting.keywords section
