What is the context of this change?
Before 7c6a8f1c74, we were using
`preload(:tags)` on the topics relation but that was accidentally
removed in the refactor. This was discovered and fixed in
5bec894a8c but insteadl of using
`preload(:tags)` we ended up using `includes(:tags)`. The problem here
is that `includes(:tags)` can either result in `preload(:tags)` or
`eager_load(:tags)` but for some reason ActiveRecord is deciding to
`eager_load(:tags)` resulting in a joins to the `topic_tags` and `tags`
table which is not necessarily and leads to more inefficient queries.
When `includes(:tags)` is used, listing the latest topics ended up
generating the following sample queries to fetch the list of topics to display.
```

```
Note how there are two extra queries which has to select `DISTINCT
topics.pinned_at` and `DISTINCT topics.bumped_at` because of the
unnecessary left joins to the `topic_tags` and `tags` table result in
duplicated rows in the topic tables. As a result, PG is not able to
use our indexes to effectively execute the query.
Comparing this to the queries being executed when `preload(:tags)` is
used.

We end up with queries that are much more efficient as those queries can
effectively use the indexes.
This commit introduces the :push_notification event and deprecates :post_notification_alert.
The old :post_notification_alert event was not triggered when pushing chat notifications and did not respect when the user was in "do not disturb" mode.
The new event fixes these issues.
This plugin is no longer supported, and so we no longer need to run its tests in CI
(removing the comment and the 'Canned Replies' value from the array caused syntax_tree to change to the `%w` syntax)
Why this change?
This is a follow up to e8f7b62752.
Tracking of GC stats didn't really belong in the `MethodProfiler` class
so we want to extract that concern into its own class.
As part of this PR, the `track_gc_stat_per_request` site setting has
also been renamed to `instrument_gc_stat_per_request`.
What does this change do?
This change adds a hidden `track_gc_stat_per_request` site setting which
when enabled will track the time spent in GC, major GC count and minor
GC count during a request.
Why is this change needed?
We have plans to tune our GC in production but without any
instrumentation, we will not be able to know if our tuning is effective
or not. This commit takes the first step at instrumenting some basic GC
stats in core during a request which can then be consumed by the discourse-prometheus plugin.
Linking to the #feedback category can break if the category gets renamed or a different site locale is used. By using the correct hashtag (at the time of seeding) this issues can be avoided.
PresenceChannel configuration is cached using redis. That cache is used, and sometimes repopulated, during normal GET requests. When the primary redis server was readonly, that `redis.set` call would raise an error and cause the entire request to fail. Instead, we should ignore the failure and continue without populating the cache.
This commit introduces five rake tasks to help us with version bump procedures:
- `version_bump:beta` and `version_bump:minor_stable` are for our minor releases
- `version_bump:major_stable_prepare` and `version_bump:major_stable_merge` are for our major release process
- `version_bump:stage_security_fixes` is to collate multiple security fixes from private branches into a single branch for release
The scripts will stage the necessary commits in a branch and prompt you to create a PR for review. No changes to release branches or tags will be made without the PR being approved, and explicit confirmation of prompts in the scripts.
To avoid polluting the operator's primary working tree, the scripts create a temporary git worktree in a temporary directory and perform all checkouts/commits there.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
Internal oneboxes to posts that contained oneboxed github links to
commits or PRs with long enough commit messages to have the `show-more`
and the `excerpt hidden` classes in their html were being stripped of
their content resulting in empty internal oneboxes.

This fixes a regression introduced in:
0b3cf83e3c
What is the problem here?
In multiple controllers, we are accepting a `limit` params but do not
impose any upper bound on the values being accepted. Without an upper
bound, we may be allowing arbituary users from generating DB queries
which may end up exhausing the resources on the server.
What is the fix here?
A new `fetch_limit_from_params` helper method is introduced in
`ApplicationController` that can be used by controller actions to safely
get the limit from the params as a default limit and maximum limit has
to be set. When an invalid limit params is encountered, the server will
respond with the 400 response code.
For the Discourse 3.2 beta series, we intend to use a `-dev` suffix while beta versions are being developed in `main`/`tests-passed`. When a beta version is ready, it will be 'released' without the `-dev` suffix.
This commit adds support for the `-dev` suffix, and also refactors `Discourse::VERSION` so that the canonical representation is a simple human-readable string. Constants for each segment are derived from that, so the interface remains unchanged.
Embed Motoko service's primary URL is transiting from embed.smartcontracts.org to embed.motoko.org, this PR updates the Onebox logic to work for either domain.
This adds support for the `<=` and `<` version operators in `.discourse-compatibility` files. This allows for more flexibility (e.g. targeting the entire 3.1.x stable release via `< 3.2.0.beta1`), and should also make compatibility files to be more readable.
If an operator is not specified we default to `<=`, which matches the old behavior.
We recently added a "don't feed the trolls" feature which warns you about interacting with posts that have been flagged and are pending review. The problem is the warning persists even if an admin reviews the post and rejects the flag.
After this change we only consider active flags when deciding whether to show the warning or not.
We're seeing unhandled errors in production when web push notifications are failing with an SSL error. This is happening for a few users, but generating a large amount of log noise due to the sheer number of notifications.
This adds handling of SSL errors in two places:
1. In FinalDestination::HTTP, this is handled the same as a timeout error, and gives a chance to recover.
2. In PushNotificationPusher. This will cause the notification to retry a number of times, and if it keeps failing, disable push notifications for the user. (Existing behaviour.)
I wanted to wrap the SSL error in e.g. WebPush::RequestError, but the gem doesn't have request error handling, so didn't want to have the freedom patch diverge from the gem as well. Instead just propagating the raw SSL error.
The parameter ascending was deprecated (replaced by asc) and marked for deletion in 2.9. This PR removes it. Since the resulting code was a simple one-liner, the method body was inlined instead.

We deprecated the keywords method, route, and format (replaced with methods, actions, and formats respectively) as parameters to Plugin::Instance#add_api_parameter_route, marked for removal in 2.7. This PR deletes them.
These methods were deprecated and marked for removal in 2.6. This change deletes them.
These deprecations use raise_error: true, so the fallbacks are at this point unreachable and can't be used anyway.
- Convert `admin-incoming-email` modal to component-based API
- Testing that the modal was working in local development was extremely challenging due to the need for `rejected` and `bounced` emails. Something that is not easy to stub in a local dev environment. To make this process more smooth for future developers I have added a new rake task:
```
desc "Creates sample email logs"
task "email_logs:populate" => ["db:load_config"] do |_, args|
DiscourseDev::EmailLog.populate!
end
```
That will generate fully functional email logs in development to be toyed with.

* DEV: Skip srcset for onebox thumbnails
In an effort to preserve bandwidth especially for mobile devices this
change will prevent upscaled srcset attributes from being added to
onebox thumbnail images.
Besides checking the html for onebox classes, our database structure for
uploads does not distinguish between regular images and onebox thumbnail
images, but all upload images in discourse do have a thumbnail. By
default this thumbnail is what is used for the non-upscaled image for
onebox images, so we should only use that thumbnail. Because the
rendered onebox image size is likely smaller than the upload thumbnail
size there really shouldn't be a need to upscale.

and 54001060ea
Another place where we need to filter hashtag types to
only enabled ones is PrettyText, though the latter PR
above should also already make it so the correct priority
types are passed.
This is causing errors in the email processing workflow
for some customers (presumably ones with tagging disabled).
Performing a `Delete User`/`Delete and Block User` reviewable actions for a
queued post reviewable from the `review.show` route results in an error
popup even if the action completes successfully.
This happens because unlike other reviewable types, a user delete action
on a queued post reviewable results in the deletion of the reviewable
itself. A subsequent attempt to reload the reviewable record results in
404. The deletion happens as part of the call to `UserDestroyer` which
includes a step for destroying reviewables created by the user being
destroyed. At the root of this is the creator of the queued post
being set as the creator of the reviewable as instead of the system
user.
This change assigns the creator of the reviewable to the system user and
uses the more approapriate `target_created_by` column for the creator of the
post being queued.
Wikimedia provides a thumbnail url for its images, so we should use that
for oneboxes instead of the full-size image. Because the size of the
onebox image we display is quite small anyways the thumbnail wikimedia
provides should suffice and will save bandwidth.

The primary motivation is to simplify `eagerLoadRawTemplateModules` which curently introspects the module dependencies (the `imports` at runtime). This is no longer supported in Embroider as the AMD shims do not have any dependencies (since it's managed internally with webpack).
Previously we had three query parameters to control which tests would be run. The default was to run all core/plugin tests together, which would almost always lead to errors and does not match the way we run tests in CI.
This commit removes the three old parameters (skip_core, skip_plugins and single_plugin), and introduces a new 'target' parameter. This can have a value of 'core', 'plugins', 'all', or a specific plugin name. The default is 'core'. Attempting to use the old parameters will raise an error.
Why this change?
Prior to this change, dismissing unreads posts did not publish the
changes across clients for the same user. As a result, users can end up
seeing an unread count being present but saw no topics being loaded when
visiting the `/unread` route.
Instead of having to remember every time, just always wait until the
current transaction (if it exists) has committed before clearing any
DistributedCache.
The only exception to this is caches that aren't caching things from
postgres.
This means we have to do the test setup after setting the test
transaction, because doing the test setup involves clearing caches.
Reapplying this - it now doesn't use after_commit if skip_db is set
* FEATURE: Inline topic summary. Cached version accessible to everyone.
Anons and non-members of the `custom_summarization_allowed_groups_map` groups can see cached summaries for any accessible topic. After the first 12 hours and if the posts to summarize have changed, allowed users clicking on the button will automatically re-generate it.
* Ensure chat summaries work and prevent model hallucinations when there are no messages.
These avatar-related helper functions are used in pretty-text, which currently means we load the entire `discourse/lib/utilities` module into the mini-racer when running pretty-text on the server side. This stops us adding any logic or imports to discourse/lib/utilities which may depend on other `discourse/` namespace features.
This commit moves the avatar-related utils into a dedicated module in the `discourse-common` namespace, adds backwards-compatibility shims, and updates the pretty-text config accordingly.
This adds an option to allow non-image s3 files to be downloaded through CDN URL.
