* FIX: participating users statistics...
... was (mis-)counting
- bots
- anonymous users
- suspended users
There's now a "valid_users" function that holds the AR query for valid users and which is used in all "users", "active_users", and "participating_users" queries.

We're seeing errors in logs due to some sites setting the reserved_usernames setting to nil. This is causing multiple use cases upstream of User#reserved_username? to error out.
This commit changes from using the raw #reserved_usernames to using the #reserved_usernames_map helper which exists on list-type site settings. It returns an empty array if the raw value is nil or empty string.
In #29169 we added a NULLS NOT DISTINCT option to the unique index on problem_check_trackers. This is to enforce uniqueness even when the target is NULL. (Postgres considers all NULLs to be distinct by default.)
However, this only works in PG15. In PG13 it does nothing.
This commit adds a default dummy string value __NULL__ to target. Since it's a string, PG13 will be able to correctly identify duplicate records.
We're expecting the period param to be something that neatly coerces into a symbol. If we receive something like a nested parameter, this will blow up.
This commit raises an InvalidParameters exception in the case of a non-stringy period parameter.
The subcategories page was not paginated and it was using the
subcategory style from the category settings. The same page style should
be used for categories and subcategories page.
Theme modifiers can now be defined as theme settings, this allows for
site operators to override behavior of theme modifiers.
New syntax is:
```
{
...
"modifiers": {
"modifier_name": {
"type": "setting",
"value": "setting_name"
}
}
}
```
This also introduces a new theme modifier for serialize_post_user_badges. Name of badge must match the name of the badge in the badges table. The client-side is updated to load this new data from the post-stream serializer.

Constants should always be only assigned once. The logical OR assignment
of a constant is a relic of the past before we used zeitwerk for
autoloading and had bugs where a file could be loaded twice resulting in
constant redefinition warnings.
The `id` column of `notifications` table and `notification_id` columns
of the other tables have been migrated to bigint in previous commits
(for example, 799a45a).
In order to run the migrations with zero downtime, the data had to be
copied to new columns and swapped, but the old columns have been kept
to allow for rollback. They are no longer needed now.
* Add migrations to ensure password hash is synced across users & user_passwords
* Persist password-related data in user_passwords instead of users
* Merge User#expire_old_email_tokens with User#expire_tokens_if_password_changed
* Add post deploy migration to mark password-related columns from users table as read-only
* Refactored UserPassword#confirm_password? and changes required to accommodate hashing the password after validations
`Date.today` relies on the system's timezone instead of
`Rails.configuration.time_zone`. This can cause tests to fail when we
assert against the date of a record. Just use `Time.zone.today` instead
so that we always follow `Rails.configuration.time_zone`.
Because of unreliability, the spec was temporarily disabled. However, it is ensuring that the custom flags system is working correctly. Therefore it would be great to enable it again.
I made a few fixes to try to mitigate this situation:
- Reduced amount of Redis calls;
- When deleting, ensure that the modal is closed before checking the result;
- Moved duplicated name tests to a separate block;
- Increased wait time to 3 times the default because I noticed that sometimes it gets stuck for a moment. Most of the time it is fast, but sometimes when I run tests in a loop 50 times I see slowness.
When a post has some replies, and the user click on the button to show them, we would load ALL the replies. This could lead to DoS if there were a very large number of replies.
This adds support for pagination to these post replies.

FIX: Duplicated parent posts
DEV: Query refactor
This commit introduces a feature that allows an admin to delete a user's
associated account. After deletion, a log will be recorded in staff
actions.
ref=t/136675
When running checks, we look to the existing problem check trackers and try to grab their ProblemCheck classes.
In some cases this is no longer in the problem check repository, e.g. when the check was part of a plugin that has been uninstalled.
In the case where the check was scheduled, this would lead to an error in one of the jobs
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
Anonymous users are "shadow" users created when an existing real user desires to post anonymously. This feature is off by default, but it can be enabled via the `allow_anonymous_posting` site setting. Those shadow users shouldn't be included in the users directory (`/u`).
In 14cf8eacf1, we added the
`user_search_similar_results` site setting which when enabled will use
trigram matching for similarity search in `UserSearch`. However, we
noted that adding the `index_users_on_username_lower_trgm` index is
causing the PG planner to not use the `index_users_on_username_lower`
index when the `=` operator is used against the `username_lower` column.
Based on the PG mailing list discussion where support for the `=`
operator in gist_trgm_ops was being considered, it stated that "I also have checked that btree_gist is preferred over pg_trgm gist
index for equality search." This is however quite different from reality
on our own PG clusters where the btree index is not preferred leading to
significantly slower queries when the `=` operator is used.
Since the pg_trgm gist index is only used for queries when the `user_search_similar_results` site setting
is enabled, we decided to drop the feature instead as it is hidden and
disabled by default. As such, we can consider it experiemental and drop
it without deprecation.

Followup 0323b366f3
This was happening because another spec was adding a
report using the plugin API, but there was nothing
resetting that, so later in the reports controller
when we did Report.singleton_methods, we ended up
with another report with no translation, causing another
error.
Currently, when the custom flag has the same name as the system flag (which is disabled) then it is not displayed. To fix the problem, `custom_` prefix as `name_key` is used to distinguish between the system and the custom flag.
I considered writing a migration to fix existing custom flags name key. However, at the end of migration I would need to run rails code to reset cache `Flag.reset_flag_settings!`. I decided to skip that step as it is a very edge case. If someone has the same flag name as the system flag, then all they have to do is edit the flag and click save.
In addition, I made 2 small fixes:
- edit flag title was missing translation;
- flag form UI was not showing that description is the required field.
This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.
Internal topic: t/137717.
### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
* FEATURE: Log tag group changes in staff action log
This commit records every change (add, change, delete) to a tag group in
the staff action log.
It uses a modal that was originally called ThemeChangeModal to display
changes, allowing staffs to see the specific changes clearly. The modal
is renamed to StaffActionLogChangeModal in this PR.

Currently, categories support designating only 1 group as a moderation group on the category. This commit removes the one group limitation and makes it possible to designate multiple groups as mods on a category.
Internal topic: t/124648.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
TagUser.rb is used to set user notification levels for a tag, we don't have a unique index on the notification level itself. This means that there might be some weird case where a user may have multiple of the same notification level on a tag.
This PR adds a migration which de-duplicates this based on defaults, where we keep the earliest record in the event there is multiple notification level per-user-per-tag.
* add data migration to keep only unexpired or most recently expired user password
* refactor to 1:1 relationship between User and UserPassword
* add migration to remove redundant indexes on user passwords
A new setting attribute is used to define the areas (separated by `|`).
In addition, endpoint `/admin/config/site_settings.json` accepts new `filter_area` data.
This change introduces a new thread notification level allowing users to get notified when someone replies to the thread.
Users who watch a thread will get a green notification on the chat icon and a user notification (blue). User notifications are consolidated based on thread id to prevent cluttering the original users notification area.

* Do not delete created external upload stubs for 2 days
instead of 1 hour if enable_upload_debug_mode is true,
this aids with server-side debugging.
* If using an API call, return the detailed error message
if enable_upload_debug_mode is true. In this case the user
is not using the UI, so a more detailed message is appropriate.
* Add a prefix to log messages in ExternalUploadHelpers, to
make it easier to find these in logster.
Prior to this fix we were calling `fetch_stats` which is never checking if we have a cache entry. This call is making a lot of SQL calls, so it's better to use the cache.
The `notifications.id` has been migrated to bigint in previous commit
799a45a291. This commit migrates one of
the related columns, `user_badges.notification_id`, to `bigint`.
Follow-up to e3ae57ea7a
The previous commit added an `after_create` callback that triggers a refresh for the user directory whenever a `User` record is created. Theoretically, this approach should work, however, there's a gotcha in practice, because during a real user registration, when the `User` record is created in the database, it's not marked as active until the user verifies their email address and the user directory excludes inactive users, so the initial directory refresh triggered by the `after_create` callback becomes pointless.
To make a new user appear in the user directory immediately after sign up, we need to trigger a refresh via an `after_save` callback when they verify their email address and become active.
