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 making sensitive changes to an account (adding 2FA or passkeys), we
require users to confirm their password. This is to prevent an attacker
from adding 2FA to an account they have access to.
However, on newly created accounts, we should not require this, it's an
extra step and it doesn't provide extra security (since the account was
just created). This commit makes it so that we don't require session
confirmation for accounts created less than 5 minutes ago.
This would allow a theme component (or an API call) to reset the bump
date of a topic to a given post's created_at date.
I picked `post_id` as the parameter here because it provides a bit of
extra protection against accidentally resetting the bump date to a date
that doesn't make sense.
This commit includes several changes to make hashtags work when "lazy
load categories" is enabled. The previous hashtag implementation use the
category colors CSS variables, but these are not defined when the site
setting is enabled because categories are no longer preloaded.
This commit implements two fundamental changes:
1. load colors together with the other hashtag information
2. load cooked hashtag data asynchronously
The first change is implemented by adding "colors" to the HashtagItem
model. It is a list because two colors are returned for subcategories:
the color of the parent category and subcategory.
The second change is implemented on the server-side in a new route
/hashtags/by-ids and on the client side by loading previously unseen
hashtags, generating the CSS on the fly and injecting it into the page.
There have been minimal changes outside of these two fundamental ones,
but a refactoring will be coming soon to reuse as much of the code
and maybe favor use of `style` rather than injecting CSS into the page,
which can lead to page rerenders and indefinite grow of the styles.
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.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
In a handful of situations, we need to verify a user's 2fa credentials before `current_user` is assigned. For example: login, email_login and change-email confirmation. This commit adds an explicit `target_user:` parameter to the centralized 2fa system so that it can be used for those situations.
For safety and clarity, this new parameter only works for anon. If some user is logged in, and target_user is set to a different user, an exception will be raised.
For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
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 have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
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.

This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
Why this change?
Currently, is it hard to iteratively write a theme settings migrations
because our theme migrations system does not rollback. Therefore, we
want to allow theme developers to be able to write QUnit tests for their
theme migrations files enabling them to iteratively write their theme
migrations.
What does this change do?
1. Update `Theme#baked_js_tests_with_digest` to include all `ThemeField`
records of `ThemeField#target` equal to `migrations`. Note that we do
not include the `settings` and `themePrefix` variables for migration files.
2. Don't minify JavaScript test files becasue it makes debugging in
development hard.

Why this change?
Importing theme with the `bundle` params is used mainly by
`discourse_theme` CLI in the development environment. However, we do not
want migrations to automatically run in the development environment
and instead want the developer to be intentional about running theme
migrations. As such, this commit adds support for a
`skip_migrations` param when importing a theme with the `bundle` params.
This commit also adds a `migrated` attribute for migrations theme fields
to indicate whether a migrations theme field has been migrated or not.
When navigating straight to a topic the category was not displayed at
all because the categories were not loaded. Similarly, the categories
for suggested topics were not loaded either.
This commit adds a list of categories to topic view model class and
serializer.
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_create_tag site setting to create_tag_allowed_groups.
This PR maintains backwards compatibility until we can update plugins and themes using this.
Why this change?
The `can survive cache miss` test in `spec/requests/stylesheets_controller_spec.rb`
was failing because the file was not found on disk for the cache to be
regenerated. This is because a test in
`spec/lib/stylesheet/manager_spec.rb` was removing the entire
`tmp/stylesheet-cache` directory which is incorrect because the folder
in the test environment further segretates the stylesheet caches based
on the process of the test.
What does this change do?
1. Introduce `Stylesheet::Manager.rm_cache_folder` method for the test
environment to properly clean up the cache folder.
2. Make `Stylesheet::Manager::CACHE_PATH` a private constant since the
cache path should be obtained from the `Stylesheet::Manager.cache_fullpath` method.

Why this change?
The two tests being updated in question has been flaky on CI. However,
when using `be_forbidden`, the error message does not indicate what the
actual response code was making it hard for us to debug.
What does this change do?

Previously we hand no tests for `include_raw` which some consumers may
depend on.
Specifically, Discourse AI uses it to get raw markdown for a set of posts

A bug that allowed TL1 to convert other's posts to wiki.
The issue was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24999/files
The wiki can be created if a user is TL3 and it is their own post - default 3 for setting `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki`
In addition, a wiki can be created by staff and TL4 users for any post.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/reseting-robots-txt-override-doesnt-seem-to-work-as-expected/287880?u=osama
Discourse provides a default version for `/robots.txt` which can be customized by admins in `/admin/customize/robots`. In that page, there's a button to reset back to the default version that Discourse provides. However, there's currently a bug with the reset button where the content appears to change to some HTML document instead of the default `robots.txt` version when clicking the button. Refreshing the page shows the true/correct content of `robots.txt` which is the default version, so the reset button actually works but there's a display problem.
What causes this display problem is that we use Rails' `render_to_string` method to generate the default content for `robots.txt` from the template, and what we get from that method is the `robots.txt` content wrapped in the application layout. To fix this issue, we need to pass `layout: false` to the `render_to_string` method so that it renders the template without any layouts.
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.
Adds an API scope for accessing Logster's routes. This one is a bit
different than routes from core because it is mounted like
```
mount Logster::Web => "/logs"
```
and doesn't have all the route info a traditional rails app/engine does.
Settings that are using the new `file_size_restriction` types like the
`max_image_size_kb` setting need to have their values saved as integers.
This was a recent regression in 00209f03e6
that caused these values to be saved as strings.
This change also removes negatives from the validation regex because
file sizes can't be negative anyways.

A lot of work has been put in the select kits used for selecting
categories: CategorySelector, CategoryChooser, CategoryDrop, however
they still do not work as expected when these selectors already have
values set, because the category were still looked up in the list of
categories stored on the client-side Categrories.list().
This PR fixes that by looking up the categories when the selector is
initialized. This required altering the /categories/find.json endpoint
to accept a list of IDs that need to be looked up. The API is called
using Category.asyncFindByIds on the client-side.
CategorySelector was also updated to receive a list of category IDs as
attribute, instead of the list of categories, because the list of
categories may have not been loaded.
During this development, I noticed that SiteCategorySerializer did not
serializer all fields (such as permission and notification_level)
which are not a property of category, but a property of the relationship
between users and categories. To make this more efficient, the
preload_user_fields! method was implemented that can be used to
preload these attributes for a user and a list of categories.
The modified test used to be the same as the test above. The bad test
was introduced in commit 77d4c4d8dc,
during a refactoring.
This was not a serious problem because the same behavior was still
tested partially by the other tests below.
We add `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` to all asset requests which are requested via a configured CDN. This is particularly important now that we're using browser-native `import()` to load the highlightjs bundle. Unfortunately, user-configurable 'cors_origins' site setting was overriding the wldcard value on CDN assets and causing CORS errors.
This commit updates the logic to give the `*` value precedence, and adds a spec for the situation. It also invalidates the cache of hljs assets (because CDNs will have cached the bad Access-Control-Allow-Origin header).
The rack-cors middleware is also slightly tweaked so that it is always inserted. This makes things easier to test and more consistent.
Why was the problem?
ActiveRecord's query cache for the connection pool wasn't disabled after the
`with a fake provider runs 'other_phase' for enabled auth methods` test
in `omniauth_callbacks_controller_spec.rb` was run. This was because the
Rack response body in `FakeAuthenticator::Strategy::other_phase` did not
adhere to the expected Rack body format which is "typically an Array of
String instances". Because this expectation was broken, it cascaded the
problem down where it resulted in the ActiveRecord's query cache for the
connection pool not being disabled as it normally should when the
response body is closed.
When the query cache is left enabled, common assertions pattern in RSpec
like `expect { something }.to change { Group.count }` will fail since
the query cache is enabled and the call first call to `Group.count` will
cache the result to be reused later on.
To see the bug in action, one can run the following command:
`bundle exec rspec --seed 44747
spec/requests/omniauth_callbacks_controller_spec.rb:1150
spec/models/group_spec.rb:283`
The category drop was rerendered after every category async change
because it updated the categories list. This is not necessary and
categories can be referenced indirectly by ID instead.
This value is included when generating static asset URLs. Updating the value will allow site operators to invalidate all asset urls to recover from configuration issues which may have been cached by CDNs/browsers.
Why this change?
In the `invites_controller_spec.rb` file, we had several tests that were
checking for assets path in the response's body to determine which
layout has been rendered. However, those test fails if `bin/ember-cli
--build` has been run locally.
What does this change do?
Instead of checking for asset paths to determine the layout that has
been rendered, this change relies on the fact that the `no_ember` layout
has a `no-ember` class on the `body` element. This is more deterministic
as compared to relying on the different asset paths that are rendered in
the response.
This improves the implementation of #18993
1. Error message displayed to user is clearer
2. open_db will also be called, even if license key is blank, as it was previously
3. This in turn means no need to keep stubbing 'maxmind_license_key'
The parent category needs to be serialized before the child category
because they are parsed in order. Otherwise the client will not build
the parent-child relationship correctly.
This change converts the `approve_unless_trust_level` site setting to
`approve_unless_allowed_groups`.

Currently to use a limit in the notifications index, you have to also pass recent: true as a param.
This PR:
Adds optional limit param to be used in the notifications query, regardless of the presence of recent
Raises the max limit of the response with recent present from 50 -> 60. It is super weird we have a hard-limit of 50 before with recent param, and 60 without the param.
We ask users to confirm their session if they are making a sensitive
action, such as adding/updating second factors or passkeys. This
commit adds the ability to confirm sessions with passkeys as an option
to the password confirmation.
The `src` of js files is now dependent on the ember-cli/webpack build, so it's not a good thing to check in specs. In CI it passes because the ember-cli build is not run. But locally it would fail if you had a build in `app/assets/javascripts/discourse/dist`.
This commit updates the specs to check for the presence of a stable data attribute instead.
Previously, the app HTML served by the Ember-CLI proxy was generated based on a 'bootstrap json' payload generated by Rails. This inevitably leads to differences between the Rails HTML and the Ember-CLI HTML.
This commit overhauls our proxying strategy. Now, we totally ignore the ember-cli `index.html` file. Instead, we take the full HTML from Rails and surgically replace script URLs based on a `data-discourse-entrypoint` attribute. This should be faster (only one request to Rails), more robust, and less confusing for developers.
The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
This adds the ability to collect stats without exposing them
among other stats via API.
The most important thing I wanted to achieve is to provide
an API where stats are not exposed by default, and a developer
has to explicitly specify that they should be
exposed (`expose_via_api: true`). Implementing an opposite
solution would be simpler, but that's less safe in terms of
potential security issues.
When working on this, I had to refactor the current solution.
I would go even further with the refactoring, but the next steps
seem to be going too far in changing the solution we have,
and that would also take more time. Two things that can be
improved in the future:
1. Data structures for holding stats can be further improved
2. Core stats are hard-coded in the About template (it's hard
to fix it without correcting data structures first, see point 1):
63a0700d45/app/views/about/index.html.erb (L61-L101)
The most significant refactorings are:
1. Introducing the `Stat` model
2. Aligning the way the core and the plugin stats' are registered
There is an edge case where the following occurs:
1. The user sets a bookmark reminder on a post/topic
2. The post/topic is changed to a PM before or after the reminder
fires, and the notification remains unread by the user
3. The user opens their bookmark reminder notification list
and they can still see the notification even though they cannot
access the topic anymore
There is a very low chance for information leaking here, since
the only thing that could be exposed is the topic title if it
changes to something sensitive.
This commit filters the bookmark unread notifications by using
the bookmarkable can_see? methods and also prevents sending
reminder notifications for bookmarks the user can no longer see.
Switches to using a dialog to confirm a session (i.e. sudo mode for
account changes where we want to be extra sure the current user is who
they say they are) to match what we do with passkeys.
This commit adds an `enable_s3_transfer_acceleration` site setting,
which is hidden to begin with. We are adding this because in certain
regions, using https://aws.amazon.com/s3/transfer-acceleration/ can
drastically speed up uploads, sometimes as much as 70% in certain
regions depending on the target bucket region. This is important for
us because we have direct S3 multipart uploads enabled everywhere
on our hosting.
To start, we only want this on the uploads bucket, not the backup one.
Also, this will accelerate both uploads **and** downloads, depending
on whether a presigned URL is used for downloading. This is the case
when secure uploads is enabled, not anywhere else at this time. To
enable the S3 acceleration on downloads more generally would be a
more in-depth change, since we currently store S3 Upload record URLs
like this:
```
url: "//test.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/123456.png"
```
For acceleration, `s3.dualstack` would need to be changed to `s3-accelerate.dualstack`
here.
Note that for this to have any effect, Transfer Acceleration must be enabled
on the S3 bucket used for uploads per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/transfer-acceleration-examples.html.
When Discourse first introduced brotli support, reverse-proxy/CDN support for passing through the accept-encoding header to our NGINX server was very poor. Therefore, a separate `/brotli_assets/...` path was introduced to serve the brotli assets. This worked well, but introduces additional complexity and inconsistencies.
Nowadays, Brotli encoding is well supported, so we don't need the separate paths any more. Requests can be routed to the asset `.js` URLs, and NGINX will serve the brotli/gzip version of the asset automatically.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows theme developers to manage the transformation of theme settings over time. Similar to Rails migrations, the theme settings migration system enables developers to write and execute migrations for theme settings, ensuring a smooth transition when changes are required in the format or structure of setting values.
Example use cases for the theme settings migration system:
1. Renaming a theme setting.
2. Changing the data type of a theme setting (e.g., transforming a string setting containing comma-separated values into a proper list setting).
3. Altering the format of data stored in a theme setting.
All of these use cases and more are now possible while preserving theme setting values for sites that have already modified their theme settings.
Usage:
1. Create a top-level directory called `migrations` in your theme/component, and then within the `migrations` directory create another directory called `settings`.
2. Inside the `migrations/settings` directory, create a JavaScript file using the format `XXXX-some-name.js`, where `XXXX` is a unique 4-digit number, and `some-name` is a descriptor of your choice that describes the migration.
3. Within the JavaScript file, define and export (as the default) a function called `migrate`. This function will receive a `Map` object and must also return a `Map` object (it's acceptable to return the same `Map` object that the function received).
4. The `Map` object received by the `migrate` function will include settings that have been overridden or changed by site administrators. Settings that have never been changed from the default will not be included.
5. The keys and values contained in the `Map` object that the `migrate` function returns will replace all the currently changed settings of the theme.
6. Migrations are executed in numerical order based on the XXXX segment in the migration filenames. For instance, `0001-some-migration.js` will be executed before `0002-another-migration.js`.
Here's a complete example migration script that renames a setting from `setting_with_old_name` to `setting_with_new_name`:
```js
// File name: 0001-rename-setting.js
export default function migrate(settings) {
if (settings.has("setting_with_old_name")) {
settings.set("setting_with_new_name", settings.get("setting_with_old_name"));
}
return settings;
}
```

Two changes were introduced:
1. Reorder links on sidebar section is removed. Clicking and holding the mouse for 250ms was unintuitive;
2. Fixed bugs when reorder is done in edit modal.
As part of #23816, which sought to strip out thousand separators, we also accidentally strip out signs. This is making it impossible to disable some settings which require a -1 to disable. Instead of stripping non-digits, strip anything that isn't a sign or a digit.
The User#flag_level column has not been in use for a very long time. The "new" reviewable system dynamically calculates flag scores based on past performance of the user.
This PR removes flag_level from the admin user serializer (since it isn't displayed anywhere in admin user lists) and marks the column as deprecated and targeted for removal in the next minor version.
Calling add_to_serializer is an irreversible operation which affects all the following tests in the suite. This lead to other tests failing because they weren't expecting the extra field on the category serializer.

Previously, we would build the stack of omniauth authenticators once on boot. That meant that all strategies had to be included, even if they were disabled. We then used the `before_request_phase` to ensure disabled strategies could not be used. This works well, but it means that omniauth is often doing unnecessary work running logic in disabled strategies.
This commit refactors things so that we build the stack of strategies on each request. That means we only need to include the enabled strategies in the stack - disabled strategies are totally ignored. Building the stack on-demand like this does add some overhead to auth requests, but on the majority of sites that will be significantly outweighed by the fact we're now skipping logic for disabled authenticators.
As well as the slight performance improvement, this new approach means that:
- Broken (i.e. exception-raising) strategies cannot cause issues on a site if they're disabled
- `other_phase` of disabled strategies will never appear in the backtrace of other authentication errors
No plugins or themes rely on anonymous_posting_min_trust_level so we
can just switch straight over to anonymous_posting_allowed_groups
This also adds an AUTO_GROUPS const which can be imported in JS
tests which is analogous to the one defined in group.rb. This can be used
to set the current user's groups where JS tests call for checking these groups
against site settings.
Finally a AtLeastOneGroupValidator validator is added for group_list site
settings which ensures that at least one group is always selected, since if
you want to allow all users to use a feature in this way you can just use
the everyone group.
There are a few PUT requests that users can do in their preferences tab that aren't going through the standard `user#update` action.
This commit adds all the "trivial" ones (aka. except the security-related one, username and email changes) so you can now change the badge title, the avatar or featured topic of a user via the API.
Why this change?
When the URL `/t/1234?preview_theme_id=21` is loaded, we redirect to
`/t/<topic slug>/1234` stripping the `preview_theme_id` query params.

This change builds on 61248652cd and
simply adds the `preview_theme_id` query param when redirecting.
This commit introduces a new endpoint to search categories and uses it
instead of the categories map that is preloaded using SiteSerializer.
This feature is enabled only when the hidden site setting
lazy_load_categories is enabled and should be used only on sites with
many categories.
At this moment, this feature is under a site setting named
lazy_load_categories.
In the future, categories will no longer be preloaded through site data.
This commit add information about categories in topic list and ensures
that data is used to display topic list items.
Parent categories are serialized too because they are necessary to
render {{category-link}}.
Why this change?
The `PostsController#create` action allows arbitrary topic custom fields
to be set by any user that can create a topic. Without any restrictions,
this opens us up to potential security issues where plugins may be using
topic custom fields in security sensitive areas.
What does this change do?
1. This change introduces the `register_editable_topic_custom_field` plugin
API which allows plugins to register topic custom fields that are
editable either by staff users only or all users. The registered
editable topic custom fields are stored in `DiscoursePluginRegistry` and
is called by a new method `Topic#editable_custom_fields` which is then
used in the `PostsController#create` controller action. When an unpermitted custom fields is present in the `meta_data` params,
a 400 response code is returned.
2. Removes all reference to `meta_data` on a topic as it is confusing
since we actually mean topic custom fields instead.
This is part 2 (of 3) for passkeys support.
This adds a hidden site setting plus routes and controller actions.
1. registering passkeys
Passkeys are registered in a two-step process. First, `create_passkey`
returns details for the browser to create a passkey. This includes
- a challenge
- the relying party ID and Origin
- the user's secure identifier
- the supported algorithms
- the user's existing passkeys (if any)
Then the browser creates a key with this information, and submits it to
the server via `register_passkey`.
2. authenticating passkeys
A similar process happens here as well. First, a challenge is created
and sent to the browser. Then the browser makes a public key credential
and submits it to the server via `passkey_auth_perform`.
3. renaming/deleting passkeys
These routes allow changing the name of a key and deleting it.
4. checking if session is trusted for sensitive actions
Since a passkey is a password replacement, we want to make sure to confirm the user's identity before allowing adding/deleting passkeys. The u/trusted-session GET route returns success if user has confirmed their session (and failed if user hasn't). In the frontend (in the next PR), we're using these routes to show the password confirmation screen.
The `/u/confirm-session` route allows the user to confirm their session with a password. The latter route's functionality already existed in core, under the 2FA flow, but it has been abstracted into its own here so it can be used independently.

Why this change?
Back in May 17 2023 along with the release of Discourse 3.1, we announced
on meta that the legacy hamburger dropdown navigation menu is
deprecated and will be dropped in Discourse 3.2. This is the link to the announcement
on meta: https://meta.discourse.org/t/removing-the-legacy-hamburger-navigation-menu-option/265274
## What does this change do?
This change removes the `legacy` option from the `navigation_menu` site
setting and migrates existing sites on the `legacy` option to the
`header dropdown` option.
All references to the `legacy` option in code and tests have been
removed as well.
Currently, if you set an integer site setting in the admin interface and include thousands separators, you will silently configure the wrong value.
This PR replaces TextField inputs for integer site settings with NumberField. It also cleans the numeric input of any non-digits in the backend in case any separators make it through.
This is part 1 of 3, split up of PR #23529. This PR refactors the
webauthn code to support passkey authentication/registration.
Passkeys aren't used yet, that is coming in PRs 2 and 3.

This commit adds support for an optional `prompt` parameter in the
payload of the /session/sso_provider endpoint. If an SSO Consumer
adds a `prompt=none` parameter to the encoded/signed `sso` payload,
then Discourse will avoid trying to login a not-logged-in user:
* If the user is already logged in, Discourse will immediately
redirect back to the Consumer with the user's credentials in a
signed payload, as usual.
* If the user is not logged in, Discourse will immediately redirect
back to the Consumer with a signed payload bearing the parameter
`failed=true`.
This allows the SSO Consumer to simply test whether or not a user is
logged in, without forcing the user to try to log in. This is useful
when the SSO Consumer allows both anonymous and authenticated access.
(E.g., users that are already logged-in to Discourse can be seamlessly
logged-in to the Consumer site, and anonymous users can remain
anonymous until they explicitly ask to log in.)
This feature is similar to the `prompt=none` functionality in an
OpenID Connect Authentication Request; see
https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#AuthRequest
* FIX: Return 403 instead of redirect on username routes when hidding profiles
* Updated raised error to better reflect the problem to the user
* implemented suggested changes
Previously, a "`some_not_allowed`" warning message was appeared in composer even when all the users mentioned via group are already invited to the private message directly or via other groups.
The hidden site setting max_drafts_per_user defaults to 10_000 drafts per user.
The longest key should be "topic_<MAX_BIG_INT>" which is 25 characters.
In #20135 we prevented invalid inputs from being accepted in category setting form fields on the front-end. We didn't do anything on the back-end at that time, because we were still discussing which path we wanted to take. Eventually we decided we want to move this to a new CategorySetting model.
This PR moves the require_topic_approval and require_reply_approval from custom fields to the new CategorySetting model.
This PR is nearly identical to #20580, which migrated num_auto_bump_daily, but since these are slightly more sensitive, they are moved after the previous one is verified.
Previous to this change when both `normalize_emails` and `hide_email_address_taken`
is enabled the expected `account_exists` email was only sent on exact email
matches.
This expands it so it also sends an email to the canonical email owner.
Why this change?
Currently, we do not have an easy way to test themes and theme components
using Rails system tests. While we support QUnit acceptance tests for
themes and theme components, QUnit acceptance tests stubs out the server
and setting up the fixtures for server responses is difficult and can lead to a
frustrating experience. System tests on the other hand allow authors to
set up the test fixtures using our fabricator system which is much
easier to use.
What does this change do?
In order for us to allow authors to run system tests with their themes
installed, we are adding a `upload_theme` helper that is made available
when writing system tests. The `upload_theme` helper requires a single
`directory` parameter where `directory` is the directory of the theme
locally and returns a `Theme` record.
Until now, we have allowed testing themes in production environments via `/theme-qunit`. This was made possible by hacking the ember-cli build so that it would create the `tests.js` bundle in production. However, this is fundamentally problematic because a number of test-specific things are still optimized out of the Ember build in production mode. It also makes asset compilation significantly slower, and makes it more difficult for us to update our build pipeline (e.g. to introduce Embroider).
This commit removes the ability to run qunit tests in production builds of the JS app when the Embdroider flag is enabled. If a production instance of Discourse exists exclusively for the development of themes (e.g. discourse.theme-creator.io) then they can add `EMBER_ENV: development` to their `app.yml` file. This will build the entire app in development mode, and has a significant performance impact. This must not be used for real production sites.
This commit also refactors many of the request specs into system specs. This means that the tests are guaranteed to have Ember assets built, and is also a better end-to-end test than simply checking for the presence of certain `<script>` tags in the HTML.
Discourse core now builds and runs with Embroider! This commit adds
the Embroider-based build pipeline (`USE_EMBROIDER=1`) and start
testing it on CI.
The new pipeline uses Embroider's compat mode + webpack bundler to
build discourse code, and leave everything else (admin, wizard,
markdown-it, plugins, etc) exactly the same using the existing
Broccoli-based build as external bundles (<script> tags), passed
to the build as `extraPublicTress` (which just means they get
placed in the `/public` folder).
At runtime, these "external" bundles are glued back together with
`loader.js`. Specifically, the external bundles are compiled as
AMD modules (just as they were before) and registered with the
global `loader.js` instance. They expect their `import`s (outside
of whatever is included in the bundle) to be already available in
the `loader.js` runtime registry.
In the classic build, _every_ module gets compiled into AMD and
gets added to the `loader.js` runtime registry. In Embroider,
the goal is to do this as little as possible, to give the bundler
more flexibility to optimize modules, or omit them entirely if it
is confident that the module is unused (i.e. tree-shaking).
Even in the most compatible mode, there are cases where Embroider
is confident enough to omit modules in the runtime `loader.js`
registry (notably, "auto-imported" non-addon NPM packages). So we
have to be mindful of that an manage those dependencies ourselves,
as seen in #22703.
In the longer term, we will look into using modern features (such
as `import()`) to express these inter-dependencies.
This will only be behind a flag for a short period of time while we
perform some final testing. Within the next few weeks, we intend
to enable by default and remove the flag.

We're seeing a large number of log noise from this endpoint due to malicious scanners that are trying to send clever params and seeing if they can break something.
This change simply rescues any NoMethodError during parameter parsing and re-raises a Discourse::InvalidParameters exception, which will be caught and render a 400.
Previously we were patching ember-cli so that it would split the test bundle into two halves: the helpers, and the tests themselves. This was done so that we could use the helpers for `/theme-qunit` without needing to load all the core tests. This patch has proven problematic to maintain, and will become even harder under Embroider.
This commit removes the patch, so that ember-cli goes back to generating a single `tests.js` bundle. This means that core test definitions will now be included in the bundle when using `/theme-qunit`, and so this commit also updates our test module filter to exclude them from the run. This is the same way that we handle plugin tests on the regular `/tests` route, and is fully supported by qunit.
For now, this keeps `/theme-qunit` working in both development and production environments. However, we are very likely to drop support in production as part of the move to Embroider.
They're both constant per-instance values, there is no need to store them
in the session. This also makes the code a bit more readable by moving
the `session_challenge_key` method up to the `DiscourseWebauthn` module.
Why this change?
As part of our ongoing efforts to security harden the Discourse
application, we are adding the `cross_origin_opener_policy_header` site setting
which allows the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` response header to be set on requests
that preloads the Discourse application. In more technical terms, only
GET requests that are not json or xhr will have the response header set.
The `cross_origin_opener_policy_header` site setting is hidden for now
for testing purposes and will either be released as a public site
setting or be remove if we decide to be opinionated and ship a default
for the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` response header.
This commit adds some system specs to test uploads with
direct to S3 single and multipart uploads via uppy. This
is done with minio as a local S3 replacement. We are doing
this to catch regressions when uppy dependencies need to
be upgraded or we change uppy upload code, since before
this there was no way to know outside manual testing whether
these changes would cause regressions.
Minio's server lifecycle and the installed binaries are managed
by the https://github.com/discourse/minio_runner gem, though the
binaries are already installed on the discourse_test image we run
GitHub CI from.
These tests will only run in CI unless you specifically use the
CI=1 or RUN_S3_SYSTEM_SPECS=1 env vars.

`ReviewableQueuedPost` got refactored a while back to use the more
appropriate `target_created_by` for the user of the post being queued
instead of `created_by`. The change was not extended to the `DELETE
/review/:id` endpoint leading to error responses for a user attempting
to deleting their own queued post.
This fix extends the `Reviewable` lookup implementation in
`ReviewablesController#destroy` and Guardian implementation to account
for this change.
This PR adds a new toggle to switch the (new) /new list between showing topics with new replies (a.k.a unread topics), new topics, or everything mixed together.
Our code assumed the content_range interval was inclusive, but they are open-ended due to Postgres' [discrete range types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html#RANGETYPES-DISCRETE), meaning [1,2] will be represented as [1,3).
It also fixes some flaky tests due to test data not being correctly setup and the registry not being resetted after each test.
When we receive the stream parameter, we'll queue a job that periodically publishes partial updates, and after the summarization finishes, a final one with the completed version, plus metadata.
`summary-box` listens to these updates via MessageBus, and updates state accordingly.
This commit removes any logic in the app and in specs around
enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete and deletes some
old category hashtag code that is no longer necessary.
It also adds a `slug_ref` category instance method, which
will generate a reference like `parent:child` for a category,
with an optional depth, which hashtags use. Also refactors
PostRevisor which was using CategoryHashtagDataSource directly
which is a no-no.
Deletes the old hashtag markdown rule as well.
In #20135 we prevented invalid inputs from being accepted in category setting form fields on the front-end. We didn't do anything on the back-end at that time, because we were still discussing which path we wanted to take. Eventually we decided we want to move this to a new CategorySetting model.
This PR moves the num_auto_bump_daily from custom fields to the new CategorySetting model.
In addition it sets the default value to 0, which exhibits the same behaviour as when the value is NULL.
This is a similar fix to 32d4810e2b
Why this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#bulk`
where it does not dismiss new unred posts in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
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.
What is the context for this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#reset_new`
where it does not dismiss new topics in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
Context of this change:
There are two site settings which an admin can configured to set the
default categories and tags that are shown for a new user. `default_navigation_menu_categories`
is used to determine the default categories while
`default_navigation_menu_tags` is used to determine the default tags.
Prior to this change when seeding the defaults, we will filter out the
categories/tags that the user do not have permission to see. However,
this means that when the user does eventually gain permission down the
line, the default categories and tags do not appear.
What does this change do?
With this commit, we have changed it such that all the categories and tags
configured in the `default_navigation_menu_categories` and
`default_navigation_menu_tags` site settings are seeded regardless of
whether the user's visibility of the categories or tags. During
serialization, we will then filter out the categories and tags which the
user does not have visibility of.
Why this change?
We're already displaying a category's description as the title attribute
on the category section link. We should do the same for tags as well.
Recently we started giving admins a notice in the advice panel when their translations have become outdated due to changes in core. However, we didn't include any additional information.
This PR adds more information about the outdated translation inside the site text edit page, together with an option to dismiss the warning.
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.
Why this change?
Prior to this change, we would only return tags that are used in at
least one public topic. However, this is confusing for users because the
tag could be used in a restricted category and that is not considered a
"public" topic. Instead, we will just display all the tags in the edit
tags navigation modal as long as it is visible to the user.
Follow up to: 56e792d
Adds a test to check that there is an api scope for the t/external_id
route. Plus checks many other topic routes that should have scopes.
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.
* 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.
Recently, site setting watched_precedence_over_muted was introduced - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22252
In this PR, we are allowing users to override it. The option is only displayed when the user has watched categories and muted tags, or vice versa.
What is the problem?
Before this change, we were relying on the `/tags` endpoint which
returned all the tags that are visible to a give user on the site leading to potential performance problems.
The attribute keys of the response also changes based on the `tags_listed_by_group` site setting.
What is the fix?
This commit fixes the problems listed above by creating a dedicate `#list` action in the
`TagsController` to handle the listing of the tags in the edit
navigation menu tags modal. This is because the `TagsController#index`
action was created specifically for the `/tags` route and the response
body does not really map well to what we need. The `TagsController#list`
action added here is also much safer since the response is paginated and
we avoid loading a whole bunch of tags upfront.
]When changing fonts in the `/wizard/steps/styling` step of
the wizard, users would not see the font loaded straight away,
having to switch to another one then back to the original to
see the result. This is because we are using canvas to render
the style preview and this fails with a Chrome-based intervention
when font loading is taking too long:
> [Intervention] Slow network is detected. See
https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5636954674692096 for more details.
Fallback font will be used while loading:
https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/business7/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf?v=0.0.9
We can get around this by manually loading the fonts selected using
the FontFace JS API when the user selects them and before rerendering
the canvas. This just requires preloading more information about the
fonts if the user is admin so the wizard can query this data.
This is the first of a number of PRs aimed at helping admins manage their translation overrides. It simply adds a list of available interpolation keys below the input field when editing an override.
It also includes custom interpolation key.
This PR splits up the preference that controls the count vs dot and destination of sidebar links, which is really hard to understand, into 2 simpler checkboxes:
The new preferences/checkboxes are off by default, but there are database migrations to switch the old preference to the new ones so that existing users don't have to update their preferences to keep their preferred behavior of sidebar links when this changed is rolled out.
Internal topic: t/103529.
Don't cache user_fields on users separately from custom_fields, since they can get out of sync.

Upstream added a capital 'T' to the 'Translation missing' message in https://github.com/ruby-i18n/i18n/commit/c5c6e753f3. This caused our translate accelerator patch to diverge, and the change in case affected a number of our specs. This commit updates the translate accelerator to match the upstream casing, and introduces a spec to detect future divergence.
This method is a huge footgun in production, since it calls
the Redis KEYS command. From the Redis documentation at
https://redis.io/commands/keys/:
> Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in
production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when
it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for
debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
Don't use KEYS in your regular application code.
Since we were only using `delete_prefixed` in specs (now that we
removed the usage in production in 24ec06ff85)
we can remove this and instead rely on `use_redis_snapshotting` on the
particular tests that need this kind of clearing functionality.
Communities can use sidebar or header dropdown, therefore navigation menu is a better name settings in 2 places:
- Old user sidebar preferences;
- Site setting about default tags and categories.
* FEATURE: Content custom summarization strategies.
This PR establishes a pattern for plugins to register alternative ways of summarizing content by extending a class that defines an interface.
Core controls which strategy we'll use and who has access to it through the `summarization_strategy` and `custom_summarization_allowed_groups`. It also defines the UI for summarizing topics.
Other plugins can access this summarization mechanism and implement their features, removing cross-plugin customizations, as it currently happens between chat and the discourse-ai plugin.
* Group membership validation and rate limiting
* Work with objects instead of classes
* Port summarization feature from discourse-ai to chat
* Rename available summaries to 'Top Replies' and 'Summary'
* DEV: Implement staff logs for user columns edits
* deleted extra space in staff logger detail string, deleted string when no changes are made, added basic test coverage for EditDirectoryColumnsController
* fixed change made to #self.staff_actions un UserHistory
* implemented a method that builds the details, previous_values and new_values in a dynamic way
* removed details of changes
* refactored small merge
Display modal for combined new and unread view with options:

Prior to this commit, we didn't have RTL versions of our admin and plugins CSS bundles and we always served LTR versions of those bundles even when users used an RTL locale, causing admin and plugins UI elements to never look as good as when an LTR locale was used. Example of UI issues prior to this commit were: missing margins, borders on the wrong side and buttons too close to each other etc.
This commit creates an RTL version for the admin CSS bundle as well as RTL bundles for all the installed plugins and serves those RTL bundles to users/sites who use RTL locales.
* FEATURE: reduce avatar sizes to 6 from 20
This PR introduces 3 changes:
1. SiteSetting.avatar_sizes, now does what is says on the tin.
previously it would introduce a large number of extra sizes, to allow for
various DPIs. Instead we now trust the admin with the size list.
2. When `avatar_sizes` changes, we ensure consistency and remove resized
avatars that are not longer allowed per site setting. This happens on the
12 hourly job and limited out of the box to 20k cleanups per cycle, given
this may reach out to AWS 20k times to remove things.
3.Our default avatar sizes are now "24|48|72|96|144|288" these sizes were
very specifically picked to limit amount of bluriness introduced by webkit.
Our avatars are already blurry due to 1px border, so this corrects old blur.
This change heavily reduces storage required by forums which simplifies
site moves and more.

This commit adds modifiers that allow plugins to change how categories and groups are prefetched into the application and listed in the respective controllers.
Possible use cases:
- prevent some categories/groups from being prefetched when the application loads for performance reasons.
- prevent some categories/groups from being listed in their respective index pages.
This commit introduces a new `within_user_updater_transaction` event that's triggered inside the transaction that saves user updates in `UserUpdater`. Plugins can hook into the transaction using the event to include custom changes in the transaction. Callbacks for this event receive 2 arguments:
1. the user being saved
2. the changed attributes that are passed to `UserUpdater`.
There's also new modifier in this commit called `users_controller_update_user_params` to allow plugins to allowlist custom params in the `UsersController` which eventually end up getting passed as attributes to the `UserUpdater` and the new `within_user_updater_transaction` event where they can be used to perform additional updates using the custom params.
-----
New API is used in https://github.com/discourse/discourse-mailinglist-integration/pull/1.
When a user chooses to move a topic/message to an existing topic/message, they can now opt to merge the posts chronologically (using a checkbox in the UI).
The field more_topic_url is already included in the response preloaded in categories#index
However this field was missing if a request was subsequently made to update the page using
the end-points /categories_and_latest or /categories_and_top. This could lead the client
app to display incorrect information if it relied on this information to update the UI.
What is the problem?
In the test environement, we were calling `SiteSetting.setting` directly
to introduce new site settings. However, this leads to changes in state of the SiteSettings
hash that is stored in memory as test runs. Changing or leaking states
when running tests is one of the major contributors of test flakiness.
An example of how this resulted in test flakiness is our `spec/integrity/i18n_spec.rb` spec file which
had a test case that would fail because a new "plugin_setting" site
setting was registered in another test case but the site setting did not
have translations for the site setting set.
What is the fix?
There are a couple of changes being introduced in this commit:
1. Make `SiteSetting.setting` a private method as it is not safe to be
exposed as a public method of the `SiteSetting` class
2. Change test cases to use existing site settings in Discourse instead
of creating custom site settings. Existing site settings are not
removed often so we don't really need to dynamically add new site
settings in test cases. Even if the site settings being used in test
cases are removed, updating the test cases to rely on other site
settings is a very easy change.
3. Set up a plugin instance in the test environment as a "fixture"
instead of having each test create its own plugin instance.
This commit makes some fundamental changes to how hashtag cooking and
icon generation works in the new experimental hashtag autocomplete mode.
Previously we cooked the appropriate SVG icon with the cooked hashtag,
though this has proved inflexible especially for theming purposes.
Instead, we now cook a data-ID attribute with the hashtag and add a new
span as an icon placeholder. This is replaced on the client side with an
icon (or a square span in the case of categories) on the client side via
the decorateCooked API for posts and chat messages.
This client side logic uses the generated hashtag, category, and channel
CSS classes added in a previous commit.
This is missing changes to the sidebar to use the new generated CSS
classes and also colors and the split square for categories in the
hashtag autocomplete menu -- I will tackle this in a separate PR so it
is clearer.
The welcome topic user tip was for admins only, but in general, user
tips should be used for guiding new users through the features that
Discourse offers. For this reason, we decided to remove the user tip.
This commit also includes a few more copy tweaks to the welcome topic.
When uploading images via direct to S3 upload, we were
assuming that we could not pre-emptively check the file
size because the client may do preprocessing to reduce
the size, and UploadCreator could also further reduce the
size.
This, however, is not true of gifs, so we would have an
issue where you upload a gif > the max_image_size_kb
setting and had to wait until the upload completed for
this error to show.
Now, instead, when we direct upload gifs to S3, we check
the size straight away and present a file size error to
the user rather than making them wait. This will increase
meme efficiency by approximately 1000%.
What is the problem?
In `SvgSpriteController#search` and `SvgSpriteController#icon_picker_search`, the controller actions
was using the `RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.with_hostname` API
but `params[:hostname]` was always `nil` because the routes does not
have a `:hostname` param component and the client does not ever pass the
`:hostname` param when making the request. When `RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.with_hostname` is
used with a `nil` argument, it ends up connecting to the default
multisite database. Usually this would be bad because we're allowing a
site in a multisite setup to connect to another site but thankfully no
private data is being leaked here.
What is the fix?
Since `SvgSpriteController#search` and `SvgSpriteController#icon_picker_search` are login required route,
there is no need for us to switch database connections. The fix here is
to simply remove the use of `RailsMultisite::ConnectionManagement.with_hostname`.
- Update welcome topic copy
- Edit the welcome topic automatically when the title or description changes
- Remove “Create your Welcome Topic” banner/CTA
- Add "edit welcome topic" user tip
### What is the problem?
It is possible to pass an arbitrary value to the limit parameter in `TagsController#search`, and have it flow through `DiscourseTagging.filter_allowed_tags` where it will raise an error deep in the database driver. MiniSql ensures there's no injection happening, but that ultimately results in an invalid query.
### How does this fix it?
This change checks more strictly that the parameter can be cleanly converted to an integer by replacing the loose `#to_i` conversion semantics with the stronger `Kernel#Integer` ones.
**Example:**
```ruby
"1; SELECT 1".to_i
#=> 1
Integer("1; SELECT 1")
#=> ArgumentError
```
As part of the change, I also went ahead to disallow a limit of "0", as that doesn't seem to be a useful option. Previously only negative limits were disallowed.
This fixes the api documentation for the create invite api endpoint so
that it uses the `group_ids` param when specifying the group instead of
the incorrect `group_id` param.
This commit adds support for excluding categories when using the
`category:` filter with the `-` prefix. For example,
`-category:category-slug` will exclude all topics that belong to the
category with slug "category-slug" and all of its sub-categories.
To only exclude a particular category and not all of its sub-categories,
the `-` prefix can be used with the `=` prefix. For example,
`-=category:category-slug` will only exclude topics that belong to the
category with slug "category-slug". Topics in the sub-categories of
"category-slug" will still be included.
* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.
SearchIndexer is only automatically disabled in `before_all` and `before` blocks which means at the start
of test runs. Enabling the SearchIndexer in one `fab!` block will affect
all other `fab!` blocks which is not ideal as we may be indexing stuff
for search when we don't need to.
`TopicQuery#latest_results` which was being used by
`TopicQuery#list_filter` defaults to ordering by `Topic#bumped_at` in
descending order and that was taking precedent over the order scopes
being applied by `TopicsFilter`.
The value field of ThemeField is only used when viewing a diff in the staff action logs and local theme editing. value is being serialized into the theme index as well, which is not used. It's a huge amount of JSON that we can cut by removing it.
This also breaks up the various theme serializers into separate classes so they autoload properly (or at least restart the server on edit)
We are seeing issues with the composer not being able to close due to the addition of a error message when rescuing from `Draft::OutOfSequence`. This PR will revert to the original solution implemented prior to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21148 that just silently rescues from `Draft::OutOfSequence`
This PR adds the ability to destroy reviewables for a passed user via the API. This was not possible before as this action was reserved for reviewables for you created only.
If a user is an admin and calls the `#destroy` action from the API they are able to destroy a reviewable for a passed user. A user can be targeted by passed either their:
- username
- external_id (for SSO)
to the request.
In the case you attempt to destroy a non-personal reviewable and
- You are not an admin
- You do not access the `#destroy` action via the API
you will raise a `Discourse::InvalidAccess` (403) and will not succeed in destroying the reviewable.

* FEATURE: add a setting to allowlist DiscourseConnect return path domains
This commit adds a site setting to allowlist DiscourseConnect return
path domains. The setting needs supports exact domain or wildcard
character (*) to allow for any domain as return path.
* Add more specs to clarify what is allowed in site setting
* Update setting description to explain what is allowed
This feature will allow sites to define which emoji are not allowed. Emoji in this list should be excluded from the set we show in the core emoji picker used in the composer for posts when emoji are enabled. And they should not be allowed to be chosen to be added to messages or as reactions in chat.
This feature prevents denied emoji from appearing in the following scenarios:
- topic title and page title
- private messages (topic title and body)
- inserting emojis into a chat
- reacting to chat messages
- using the emoji picker (composer, user status etc)
- using search within emoji picker
It also takes into account the various ways that emojis can be accessed, such as:
- emoji autocomplete suggestions
- emoji favourites (auto populates when adding to emoji deny list for example)
- emoji inline translations
- emoji skintones (ie. for certain hand gestures)
This commit adds support for the `created-by:<username>` query filter
which will return topics created by the specified user. Multiple
usernames can be specified by comma seperating the usernames like so:
`created-by:username1,username2`. This will filter for topics created by
either of the specified users. Multiple `created-by:<username>` can also
be composed together. `created-by:username1 created-by:username2` is
equivalent to `created-by:username1,username2`.
This commit adds support for the `in:<topic notification level>` query
filter. As an example, `in:tracking` will filter for topics that the
user is watching. Filtering for multiple topic notification levels can
be done by comma separating the topic notification level keys. For
example, `in:muted,tracking` or `in:muted,tracking,watching`.
Alternatively, the user can also compose multiple filters with `in:muted
in:tracking` which translates to the same behaviour as
`in:muted,tracking`.
This commit adds some more detailed information about how to actually
get the number of likes for a post.
Also refactors some requests and responses into json schema files to
clean up the specs a bit.

topic.url is a dangerous method to use, it is incompatible with our `sign_in`
helper.
This removes a bunch of places this was erroneously used and helps to avoid
future cargo culting.
The following are the changes being introduced in this commit:
1. Instead of mapping the query language to various query params on the
client side, we've decided that the benefits of having a more robust
query language far outweighs the benefits of having a more human readable query params in the URL.
As such, the `/filter` route will just accept a single `q` query param
and the query string will be parsed on the server side.
1. On the `/filter` route, the tags filtering query language is now
supported in the input per the example provided below:
```
tags:bug+feature tagged both bug and feature
tags:bug,feature tagged either bug or feature
-tags:bug+feature excluding topics tagged bug and feature
-tags:bug,feature excluding topics tagged bug or feature
```
The `tags` filter can also be specified multiple
times in the query string like so `tags:bug tags:feature` which will
filter topics that contain both the `bug` tag and `feature` tag. More
complex query like `tags:bug+feature -tags:experimental` will also work.
