"Be more discrete." declared matt in [3155], and since then, "Silence is Golden" has been the calling card of placeholder index files. Historically, these have been php files, but [43012] changed that and added index.html files for privacy export generated folders.
The php silence files produce no visible content. This adds consistency with these new html files in that there will be no visible content. Silence will fall when the question is asked.

These annotations make it clear to the reader of a JavaScript source
where the build process outputs to. These annotations can later be
integrated in a webpack configuration. This way there is one source of
truth.
The `build` folder is omitted from the paths, because a single JS file
shouldn't not be responsible of knowing where outputs in general will
end up at. A file only knows its output location relative to the
project.

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”
Props omarreis for shepherding this significant change.

Previously, personal data exports were stored in `wp-content/uploads/exports`, which is generic enough that it's likely there are existing folders with that name, either created by plugins or manually by administrators. If that folder were reused by Core, then `wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` would delete all of the existing files inside it, which is almost certainly not what the site owner wants or expects.
To avoid that, the folder is being renamed to include a specific reference to Core, and a more verbose description of its purpose. With those factored in, it's very unlikely that there will be any conflicts with existing folders.
The `wp_privacy_exports_dir()` and `wp_privacy_exports_url()` functions were introduced to provide a canonical source for the location, and the `wp_privacy_exports_dir` and `wp_privacy_exports_url` filters were introduced to allow plugins to customize it.

Previously, the link used absolute positioning, in order to stick it at the bottom of the page. That was done in order to create visual separation between it and the "action" links, like "Lost Your Password?"
The absolute positioning can cause conflicts in some situations, though. For example, if extra text or error notices are added above the form, then the login link would be positioned on top of other elements.
Switching to relative positioning with extra margins avoids those issues, while maintaining the visual separation between the "action" links and the privacy policy link.

r43158 introduced a new admin pointer for the privacy tools added in 4.9.6. With the previous positioning, though, sometimes the `Dismiss` link would be fixed off screen, making it impossible for the user to dismiss the pointer. This happened when there were enough extra menu items, or when the viewport height was short enough.
This commit repositions the pointer to work around that problem. One down side of this workaround is that the arrow will not always be positioned next to the `Tools` menu, where it should be. That's an acceptable compromise given the current time constraints, though. A long term solution would be to make `WP_Pointer` robust enough to handle this use case.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.

Previously the pointer overlapped the menu in order to draw attention to the fact that it applies to both the `Tools` and `Settings` menus. That caused a conflict if the menu was collapsed, though, because the icons were covered by the pointer and therefore inaccessible.
Additionally, minor tweaks were made to the text order and formatting. The order of the two sections was swapped in the title and paragraph, in order to match the order of the corresponding menu items. The spacing around headings and paragraphs was tweaked to remove extraneous whitespace.

Whenever an admin initiates a download or email of a personal data export, a fresh copy of the file is generated. Previously, a new filename was used each time, which could lead to situations where a URL that was emailed to a data subject is broken.

The personal data export and erasure tools allow plugins to register their own callbacks, in order to add additional data to the export and erasure processes. Previously, these were registered without specifying a constant identifier in the array of callbacks. Using mutable integers makes it difficult for plugins to modify the callbacks of other plugins, though.
Using associative array keys instead provides a covenient and reliable way to identify and interact with another plugin's callbacks.

In many common Multisite use cases, the network administrator will want to set a network-wide privacy policy -- via the `privacy_policy_url` filter -- for consistency and convenience. When that's done, the Privacy Settings screen on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may confuse administrators of those sites when they see that their changes don't have any effect on the policy link in the footer.
Since we can't programatically determine which behavior the network admins would like, the safest default setting is to restrict the ability to super admins, and let them delegate it to individual site owners via a plugin, if they'd like to.

The page was originally placed under `Tools` so that it would be grouped with the pages to export and erase personal data, since they're all part of the effort to bring privacy management tools to Core ahead of GDPR's deadline. After more consideration, though, it makes sense to move this page to the `Settings` menu, since it's fundamental purpose is to configure an option, rather than to facilitate a recurring task. This keeps all of the configuration pages in a single place, making them consistent and easier to find.
Exporting and erasing personal data are recurring tasks, so they still make sense under the `Tools` menu.

Multisite networks have a variety of use cases, and in many of them single-site administrators are not trusted to take actions that affect the whole network, require making decisions about legal compliance, etc. By default, those actions should require super admin capabilities.

This runs immediately after the data export file has been successfully created, allowing plugins to introduce some workflow customizations.

The primary means of protecting the files is the CSPRN appended to the filename, but there is no reason to keep the files after the data subject has downloaded them, so deleting them provides an additional layer of protection. Previously this was done from `wp_privacy_generate_personal_data_export_file()`, but that does not guarantee that it will be run regularly, and on smaller sites that could result in export files being exposed for much longer than necessary.
`wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` was moved to a front end file, so that it can be called from `cron.php`.
This introduces the `wp_privacy_export_expiration` filter, which allows plugins to customize how long the exports are kept before being deleted.
`index.html` was added to the `$exclusions` parameter of `list_files()` to make sure that it isn't deleted. If it were, then poorly-configured servers would allow the directory to be traversed, exposing all of the exported files.
