This commit fixes a bug where the silence button is incorrectly displayed on the admin page of a staff user. It's not actually possible to silence a staff user because the backend correctly prevents it, but the frontend isn't checking if the button should be displayed.
Another small bug that this commit fixes is the similar users list not showing up inside the silence/suspend modals due to also a bug in the frontend.
I've also changed the way similar users are loaded so that they're not returned by the `admin/users#show` endpoint anymore and moved them into a new endpoint that the penalize modals (suspend and silence) can call directly to retrieve the list of users. This is done because the similar users list is never shown on the admin user page (`/admin/users/:user_id/:username`); they're only needed when the suspend or silence modals are opened.

We used to show New Features in a tab on the dashboard,
but this could get pushed down the page especially on
our hosting. In 043117ca13
we made a separate What's New page, so this commit removes
the dashboard tab and changes the admin notification to
send the admin to /admin/whats-new instead of the dashboard
tab.
### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

Currently, in the list controller, when encountering an unsafe redirect
error, a 404 is rendered. The problem is that it’s done in a way that it
also logs a fatal error (because a `Discourse::NotFound` exception was
raised inside a `rescue_from` block).
This patch addresses that issue by simply rendering a 404 without
raising any error.
Currently, when a badly named category slug is provided, it can lead to
an infinite redirect.
This patch addresses the issue by properly unescaping `request.fullpath`
so the path is successfully rewritten and the redirect happens as
expected.
This commit patches `Net::HTTP` to reduce the default timeouts of 60
seconds when we are processing a request. There are certain routes in
Discourse which makes external requests and if the proper timeouts are
not set, we risk having the Unicorn master process force restarting the
Unicorn workers once the `30` seconds timeout is reached. This can
potentially become a vector for DoS attacks and this commit is aimed at
reducing the risk here.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
Similar to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28061, merging topics with many posts can exceed the 30 seconds timeout that Unicorn workers are limited to, so we should move the operation into a background thread to get around this limit.
Internal topic: t/133710.

In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
We have a dedicated admin page (`/admin/customize/email_templates`) that lets admins customize all emails that Discourse sends to users. The way this page works is that it lists all translations strings that are used for emails, and the list of translation strings is currently hardcoded and hasn't been updated in years. We've had a number of new emails that Discourse sends, so we should add those templates to the list to let admins easily customize those templates.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-2-x-still-ignores-some-custom-email-templates/308203.
Performing a bulk action on many topics can exceed the 30 seconds timeout that Unicorn workers have which results in the request failing and the operation getting aborted. To get around this 30 seconds timeout, we can push the operation into a background thread using the rack `hijack` API.

Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
Fixed using next instead. It was causing this kind of errors:
```
Job exception: unexpected return

* FEATURE: Add logging for CustomEmoji
We didn't provide any logs for CustomEmoji before, nor did we record the
person who added any emoji in the database. As a result, the staff had
no way to trace back who added a certain emoji.
This commit adds a new column `user_id` to `custom_emojis` to record the
creator of an emoji. At the same time, a log is added for staff logs to
record who added or deleted a custom emoji.
Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
Previously, we did not log any topic slow mode changes. This allowed
some malicious (or just careless) TL4 users to delete slow modes created
by moderators at will. Administrators could not see who changed the slow
mode unless they had SQL knowledge and used Data Explorer.
This commit enables logging who turns slow mode on, off, or changes it.

This commit updates `StaticController#enter` to not redirect to invalid
paths when the `redirect` param is set. Instead it should redirect to `/` when the
`redirect` param is invalid.
### What is the problem?
We have recently added a new option to add user fields required for existing users. This is in contrast to requiring fields only on sign-up.
This revealed an existing problem. Consider the following:
1. User A signs up.
2. Admin adds a new user field required on sign-up. (Should not apply to User A since they already signed up.)
3. User A tries to update their profile.
**Expected behaviour:**
No problem.
**Actual behaviour:**
User A receives an error saying they didn't fill up all required fields.
### How does this fix it?
When updating profile, we only check that required fields that are "for all users" are filled. Additionally, we check that fields that were required on sign-up and have previously been filled are not blanked out.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.

Basing this setting on referrer was too brittle --
the referrer header can easily be ommitted or changed.
Instead, for the small amount of use cases that this
site setting serves, we can use a group-based setting
instead, changing it to `cross_origin_opener_unsafe_none_groups`
instead.
Background:
In order to redrive failed webhook events, an operator has to go through and click on each. This PR is adding a mechanism to retry all failed events to help resolve issues quickly once the underlying failure has been resolved.
What is the change?:
Previously, we had to redeliver each webhook event. This merge is adding a 'Redeliver Failed' button next to the webhook event filter to redeliver all failed events. If there is no failed webhook events to redeliver, 'Redeliver Failed' gets disabled. If you click it, a window pops up to confirm the operator. Failed webhook events will be added to the queue and webhook event list will show the redelivering progress. Every minute, a job will be ran to go through 20 events to redeliver. Every hour, a job will cleanup the redelivering events which have been stored more than 8 hours.
Followup to 527f02e99f,
I had to introduce defer_track_visit_v2 because discourse-docs
relied on defer_track_visit. Now that discourse-docs
is using the new method as of
discourse/discourse-docs@0d9365571b,
we can rename it in core. Then we will need one more PR
in both core and docs to remove usage of the "v2" method.
Add a new column - `user_agent` - to the `SearchLog` table.
This column can be null as we are only allowing a the user-agent string to have a max length of 2000 characters. In the case the user-agent string surpasses the max characters allowed, we simply nullify the value, and save/write the log as normal.
SiteSetting.hide_user_profiles_from_public raises a Forbidden, which disallows our after_action: add no index header from triggering.
This fix makes sure that the no index header gets added via before_action instead

This commit moves topic view tracking from happening
every time a Topic is requested, which is susceptible
to inflating numbers of views from web crawlers, to
our request tracker middleware.
In this new location, topic views are only tracked when
the following headers are sent:
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW - This is sent on every page navigation when
clicking around the ember app. We count these as browser page views
because we know it comes from the AJAX call in our app. The topic ID
is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW_TOPIC_ID
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW - Sent when MessageBus initializes
after first loading the page to count the initial page load view. The
topic ID is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW.
This will bring topic views more in line with the change we
made to page views in the referenced commit and result in
more realistic topic view counts.
By default, secure sessions expire after 1 hour.
For OAuth authentication it should expire at the same time when the authentication cookie expires - `SiteSetting.maximum_session_age.hours`.
It is possible that the forum will not have persistent sessions, based on `persistent_sessions` site setting. In that case, with next username and password authentication we need to reset information about OAuth.
Bug introduced in this PR - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547
I am changing many of these to notes or resolving them as is,
most of these I have not actively worked on in years so someone
else can work on them when we get to these areas again.
This commit continues work laid out by ffec8163b0 for the admin config page for the /about page. The last commit set up the user interface, and this one sets up all the wiring needed to make the input fields and save buttons actually work.
Internal topic: t/128544.
When bad data is provided in the URI for redirecting to a category,
Rails raises an `ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError`
error, leading to a 500 error.
This patch catches the exception to render a 404 instead.
Currently redirecting to an external URL through a permalink doesn’t
work because Rails raises a
`ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError` error.
This wasn’t the case before we upgraded to Rails 7.0.
This patch fixes the issue by using `allow_other_host: true` on the
redirect.
If, for whatever reasons, the user's locale is "blank" and an admin is accepting their group membership request, there will be an error because we're generating posts with the locale of recipient.
In order to fix this, we now use the `user.effective_locale` which takes care of multiple things, including returning the default locale when the user's locale is blank.
Internal ref - t/132347
If the `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` setting
is disabled and a user logs in with an OAuth method,
they don't automatically get redirected to /preferences/second-factor
on login. However, they can get there manually, and once there
they cannot leave.
This commit fixes the issue and allows them to leave
and also does some refactors to indicate to the client
what login method is used as a followup to

We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.
Adds a checkbox to filter untranslated text strings in the admin UI, behind a hidden and default `false` site setting `admin_allow_filter_untranslated_text`.
Followup to 0e1102b332
Minor followup, makes the condition check against the
boolean val, see the difference here:
```ruby
!SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth && "true"
=> "true"
```
vs:
```ruby
!SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth && "true" == "true"
=> true
```
This ensures that the theme id is resolved as early as possible in the
request cycle. This is necessary for the custom homepage to skip
preloading the wrong data.
In this PR we introduced `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` setting https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27506
When it is set to false and the user is authenticated via OAuth, then we should not enforce the 2fa configuration.
