This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.

We were using `autoclose` as the topic status update
when silently closing topics using the bulk
actions (introduced in 0464ddcd9b).
However, this resulted in a message like this showing in
the topic as a small moderator post:
> This topic was automatically closed after X days.
This is not accurate, the topic was bulk closed by someone.
Instead, we can use `closed` as the status, and a more accurate
> Closed on DATE
message is used. `TopicStatusUpdater` needed an additional
option to keep the same "fake read" behaviour as autoclose
so we can keep the same functionality for silently closing
topics in bulk actions.
This commit updates the `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password`
method to update `UserPassword#password_expired_at` when an existing
`UserPassword` record exists with the same `password_salt`,
`password_hash` and `password_algorithm`. This is to prevent the unique
validation error on `UserPassword#user_id` and
`UserPassword#password_hash` from being raised when the method is called
twice for a user that has not changed its password.
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
When "unicode_usernames" is enabled, calling the "user_path" helper with a username containing some non ASCII character will break due to the route constraint we have on username.
This fixes the issue by always encoding the username before passing it to the "user_path" helper.

The watched word group's create, update and delete action logs were missing the translations. This PR will add those strings and will use the group key instead of watched word key where needed.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
This commit introduces the `run_theme_migration` spec helper to allow
theme developers to write RSpec tests for theme migrations. For example,
this allows the following RSpec test to be written in themes:
```
RSpec.describe "0003-migrate-small-links-setting migration" do
let!(:theme) { upload_theme_component }
it "should set target property to `_blank` if previous target component is not valid or empty" do
theme.theme_settings.create!(
name: "small_links",
theme: theme,
data_type: ThemeSetting.types[:string],
value: "some text, #|some text 2, #, invalid target",
)
run_theme_migration(theme, "0003-migrate-small-links-setting")
expect(theme.settings[:small_links].value).to eq(
[
{ "text" => "some text", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
{ "text" => "some text 2", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
],
)
end
end
```
This change is being introduced because we realised that writting just
javascript tests for the migrations is insufficient since javascript
tests do not ensure that the migrated theme settings can actually be
successfully saved into the database. Hence, we are introduce this
helper as a way for theme developers to write "end-to-end" migrations
tests.
This commit adds a `isValidUrl` helper function to the context in
which theme migrations are ran in. This helper function is to make it
easier for theme developers to check if a string is a valid URL or path
when writing theme migrations. This can be helpful in cases when
migrating a string based setting to `type: objects` which contain `type:
string` properties with URL validations enabled.
This commit also introduces the `UrlHelper.is_valid_url?` method
which actually checks that the URL string is of the valid format instead of
only checking if the URL string is parseable which is what `UrlHelper.relaxed_parse` does
and is not sufficient for our needs.
This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
This commit adds a `getCategoryIdByName` helper function to the context in
which theme migrations are ran in. The purpose of this commit is to
allow themes which may have stored category names in theme settings to
migrate to objects typed theme settings which supports properties of
categories typed which stores the category ids in the value of the
property.
Automatically add `moderators` and `admins` auto groups to specific site settings.
In the new group-based permissions systems, we just want to check the user’s groups since it more accurately reflects reality

clicking outside, etc. won't show it again
- Change just above means we no longer need a MessageBus track

In #26122 we promoted all problem checks defined as class methods on AdminDashboardData to their own first-class ProblemCheck instances.
This PR continues that by promoting problem checks that are implemented as blocks as well. This includes updating a couple plugins that have problem checks.
This commit operates at three levels of abstraction:
1. We want to prevent user history rows from being unbounded in size.
This commit adds rails validations to limit the sizes of columns on
user_histories,
2. However, we don't want to prevent certain actions from being
completed if these columns are too long. In those cases, we truncate
the values that are given and store the truncated versions,
3. For endpoints that perform staff actions, we can further control
what is permitted by explicitly validating the params that are given
before attempting the action,
In AdminDashboardData we have a bunch of problem checks implemented as methods on that class. This PR absolves it of the responsibility by promoting each of those checks to a first class ProblemCheck. This way each of them can have their own priority and arbitrary functionality can be isolated in its own class.
Think "extract class" refactoring over and over. Since they were all moved we can also get rid of the @@problem_syms class variable which was basically the old version of the registry now replaced by ProblemCheck.realtime.
In addition AdminDashboardData::Problem value object has been entirely replaced with the new ProblemCheck::Problem (with compatible API).
Lastly, I added some RSpec matchers to simplify testing of problem checks and provide helpful error messages when assertions fail.
Avoid sending user emails if @ mentioning a staged user
Some cases, unknowingly mentioning a staged user would invite
them into topics, sending them an email about it.
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first one is practical, and related to eager loading. Since /lib is not eager loaded, when the application boots, ProblemCheck["identifier"] will be nil because the child classes aren't loaded.
The second one is more conceptual. There turns out to be a lot of inter-dependencies between the part of the problem check system that live in /app and the parts that live in /lib, which probably suggests it should all go in /app.
This change creates a user setting that they can toggle if
they don't want to receive unread notifications when someone closes a
topic they have read and are watching/tracking it.
When we send a bookmark reminder, there is an option to delete
the underlying bookmark. The Notification record stays around.
However, if you want to filter your notifications user menu
to only bookmark-based notifications, we were not showing unread
bookmark notifications for deleted bookmarks.
This commit fixes the issue _going forward_ by adding the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type to the Notification data,
so we can look up the underlying Post/Topic/Chat::Message
for a deleted bookmark and check user access in this way. Then,
it doesn't matter if the bookmark was deleted.
Before this commit, we had a yarn package set up in the root directory and also in `app/assets/javascripts`. That meant two `yarn install` calls and two `node_modules` directories. This commit merges them both into the root location, and updates references to node_modules.
A previous attempt can be found at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21172. This commit re-uses that script to merge the `yarn.lock` files.

Why this change?
Backfilling can take a long time on a site with many users. As a
result, the `DistriburedMutex` will warn in the logs when the block takes
more than 60 seconds to complete. We can increase the lock validity but
the method is currently only called from a job which has a
`cluster_concurrency` set to `1`. Therefore, it is actually not
necessary for us to hold a `DistributedMutex` here.
What does this change do?
1. Removes the distributed mutex and adds a comment about the risk of
calling the `SidebarSiteSettingsBackfiller#backfill!` method.a
2. Delete old sidebar category section links in batches for all users
to avoid a single long running query.
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.
