Why this change?
Previously in cac60a2c6b, I added support
for `type: "category"` for a property in the theme objects schema. This
commit extend the work previously to add support for types `topic`,
`post`, `group`, `upload` and `tag`.
As part of problem checks refactoring, we're moving some data to be DB backed. In this PR it's the tracking of problem check execution. When was it last run, when was the last problem, when should it run next, how many consecutive checks had problems, etc.
This allows us to implement the perform_every feature in scheduled problem checks for checks that don't need to be run every 10 minutes.
Why this change?
```
some_setting:
default: 0
type: string
```
A theme setting like the above will cause an error to be thrown on the
server when importing the theme because the default would be parsed as
an integer which caused an error to be thrown when we are validating the
value of the setting.
What does this change do?
Convert the value to a string when working with string typed theme
settings.
Why this change?
This change adds validation for the default value for `type: objects` theme
settings when a setting theme field is uploaded. This helps the theme
author to ensure that the objects which they specifc in the default
value adhere to the schema which they have declared.
When an error is encountered in one of the objects, the error
message will look something like:
`"The property at JSON Pointer '/0/title' must be at least 5 characters
long."`
We use a JSON Pointer to reference the property in the object which is
something most json-schema validator uses as well.
What does this change do?
1. This commit once again changes the shape of hash returned by
`ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate`. Instead of using the
property name as the key previously, we have decided to avoid
multiple levels of nesting and instead use a JSON Pointer as the key
which helps to simplify the implementation.
2 Introduces `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate_objects` which
returns an array of validation error messages for all the objects
passed to the method.
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.

Users can hide their public profile and presence information by checking
“Hide my public profile and presence features” on the
`u/{username}/preferences/interface` page. In that case, we also don't
want to return user status from the server.
This work has been started in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23946.
The current PR fixes all the remaining places in Core.
Note that the actual fix is quite simple – a5802f484d.
But we had a fair amount of duplication in the code responsible for
the user status serialization, so I had to dry that up first. The refactoring
as well as adding some additional tests is the main part of this PR.
This PR adds a new scheduled problem check that simply tries to connect to Twitter OAuth endpoint to check that it's working. It is using the default retry strategy of 2 retries 30 seconds apart.
Now forums can enroll their sites to be showcased in the Discourse [Discover](https://discourse.org/discover) directory. Once they enable the site setting `include_in_discourse_discover` to enroll their forum the `CallDiscourseHub` job will ping the `api.discourse.org/api/discover/enroll` endpoint. Then the Discourse Hub will fetch the basic details from the forum and add it to the review queue. If the site is approved then the forum details will be displayed in the `/discover` page.
Also, remove experimental setting and simply use top_menu for feature detection
This means that when people eventually enable the hot top menu, there will
be topics in it

Previously, problem checks were all added as either class methods or blocks in AdminDashboardData. Another set of class methods were used to add and run problem checks.
As of this PR, problem checks are promoted to first-class citizens. Each problem check receives their own class. This class of course contains the implementation for running the check, but also configuration items like retry strategies (for scheduled checks.)
In addition, the parent class ProblemCheck also serves as a registry for checks. For example we can get a list of all existing check classes through ProblemCheck.checks, or just the ones running on a schedule through ProblemCheck.scheduled.
After this refactor, the task of adding a new check is significantly simplified. You add a class that inherits ProblemCheck, you implement it, add a test, and you're good to go.
Why this change?
This reverts 725561cf4b as it did not
address the root cause of the problem even though it fixed the failing tests we were seeing
when running `bundle exec rspec --tag ~type:multisite --order random:776 spec/system/admin_customize_form_templates_spec.rb spec/system/admin_sidebar_navigation_spec.rb spec/system/admin_site_setting_search_spec.rb spec/system/composer/dont_feed_the_trolls_popup_spec.rb spec/system/composer/review_media_unless_trust_level_spec.rb spec/system/create_account_spec.rb spec/system/editing_sidebar_tags_navigation_spec.rb spec/system/email_change_spec.rb spec/system/emojis/emoji_deny_list_spec.rb spec/system/group_activity_spec.rb spec/system/hashtag_autocomplete_spec.rb spec/system/network_disconnected_spec.rb spec/system/post_menu_spec.rb spec/system/post_small_action_spec.rb spec/system/tags_intersection_spec.rb spec/system/topic_list_focus_spec.rb spec/system/topic_page_spec.rb spec/system/user_page/user_profile_info_panel_spec.rb spec/system/viewing_group_members_spec.rb spec/system/viewing_navigation_menu_preferences_spec.rb`.
The root cause here is that `before_action`s added to a controller is
order dependent. As such, some requests were not setting the cookie
because the `before_action` callback was not even hit as a prior
`before_action` callbacks has raised an error such as the `check_xhr`
`before_action` callback.
To resolve the problem, we need to add the `prepend: true` option in
our monkey patch of `ApplicationController` to ensure that the
`before_action` callback which we have added is always run first.
This change also makes a couple of changes:
1. Improve the response body when a request is blocked by the `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware
so that it makes debugging easier.
2. Only set the cookies for non-xhr HTML format requests. Setting it for
other formats is kind of pointless.
Why this change?
We noticed that running `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb` locally
results in the system tests randomly failing. When we inspected the
request logs closely, we noticed that a `/presence/get` request from a
previous rspec example was being processed when a new rspec example is
already being run. We know it was from the previous rspec example
because inspecting the auth token showed the request using the auth
token of a user from the previous example. However, when a request using
an auth token from a previous example is used it ends up logging out the
same user on the server side because the user id in the cookie is the same
due to the use of `fab!`.
I did some research and there is apparently no way to wait until all
inflight requests by the browser has completed through capybara or
selenium. Therefore, we will add an identifier by attaching a cookie to all non-xhr requests so that
xhr requests which are triggered subsequently will contain the cookie in the request.
In the `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware, we will then reject any
requests when the value of the identifier in the cookie does not match the current rspec's example
location.
To see the problem locally, change `Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider.find_v1_auth_cookie` to the following:
```
def self.find_v1_auth_cookie(env)
return env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] if env.key?(DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE)
env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] = begin
request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)
cookie = request.cookies[TOKEN_COOKIE]
# don't even initialize a cookie jar if we don't have a cookie at all
if cookie&.valid_encoding? && cookie.present?
puts "#{env["REQUEST_PATH"]} #{request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access}"
request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access
end
end
end
```
After which run the following command: `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --format documentation --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb`
It takes a few tries but the last spec should fail and you should see something like this:
```

Why this change?
`current_url` does not rely on Capybara waiters so opt to use
`have_current_path` matcher instead. Also assert for email against
element displayed on the page instead of querying the database for it
which isn't really what system tests are meant for.
Add categories to the serialized search results together with the topics
when lazy load categories is enabled. This is necessary in order for the
results to be rendered correctly and display the category information.
Why this change?
The current shape of errors returns the error messages after it has been
translated but there are cases where we want to customize the error
messages and the current way return only translated error messages is
making customization of error messages difficult. If we
wish to have the error messages in complete sentences like
"`some_property` property must be present in #link 1", this is not
possible at the moment with the current shape of the errors we return.
What does this change do?
This change introduces the `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator::ThemeSettingsObjectErrors`
and `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator::ThemeSettingsObjectError` classes to
hold the relevant error key and i18n translation options.
We have separated and combined modes for sidebar panels.
Separated means the panels show only their own sections,
combined means sections from all panels are shown.
The admin sidebar only shows its own panels, so it must set
the mode to separated; however when we navigate to chat or
home we must revert to the initial mode setttings.
When hiding/showing the sidebar, as is the case on mobile
and using the toggle in the top left on desktop, we delete
and recreate the ember component on the page. This causes
the `sections` for each sidebar panel to get re-evaluated
every time.
For the admin sidebar, this means that we were constantly
re-adding the plugin links to the sidebar, causing duplication.
This can be fixed by just adding @cached to the getter for
sections.
The Digital Services Act requires a checkbox for any user who's flagging a post as illegal to confirm that they are flagging in good faith. This PR adds that.
Why this change?
This change supports a property of `type: category` in the schema that
is declared for a theme setting object. Example:
```
sections:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
category_property:
type: category
```
The value of a property declared as `type: category` will have to be a
valid id of a row in the `categories` table.
What does this change do?
Adds a property value validation step for `type: category`. Care has
been taken to ensure that we do not spam the database with a ton of
requests if there are alot of category typed properties. This is done by
walking through the entire object and collecting all the values for
properties typed category. After which, a single database query is
executed to validate which values are valid.
Why this change?
Firstly, note that this is not a security commit because this feature is
still in development and should not be used anywhere.
The reason we want to set a limit here is to greatly reduce the
possibility of a DoS attack in the future via `ThemeSetting` where
someone would set an arbituary large json string in
`ThemeSetting#json_value` and causing the server to run out of resources
trying to serialize/deserialize the value.
What does this change do?
Adds an ActiveRecord validation to ensure that the bytesize of the json
string being stored is smaller than or equal to 0.5mb. We believe 0.5mb
is a decent limit for now but we can review the limit in the future if
we believe it is too small.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
A while ago we increased group SMTP read and open timeouts
to address issues we were seeing with Gmail sometimes giving
really long timeouts for these values. The commit was:
3e639e4aa7
Now, we want to increase all SMTP read timeouts to 30s,
since the 5s is too low sometimes, and the ruby Net::SMTP
stdlib also defaults to 30s.
Also, we want to slightly tweak the group smtp email job
not to fail if the IncomingEmail log fails to create, or if
a ReadTimeout is encountered, to avoid retrying the job in sidekiq
again and sending the same email out.
Why this change?
This commit updates `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator` to validate a
property's value against the validations listed in the schema.
For string types, `min_length`, `max_length` and `url` are supported.
For integer and float types, `min` and `max` are supported.
This commit adds another plugin modifier related to post
actions, similar to ae24e04a5e.
This will be used to exclude users who liked _and_ reacted to
the post, since now in discourse-reactions we make a Like when
a user reacts too. This will affect the display of the post footer.
Why this change?
This change adds property value validation to `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator`
for the following types: "string", "integer", "float", "boolean", "enum". Note
that this class is not being used anywhere yet and is still in
development.
When "lazy load categories" is enabled, only the categories present in
the sidebar are preloaded. This is insufficient because the parent
categories are necessary too for the sidebar to be rendered properly.
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.

It's complicated...we have multiple "anonymous" user concepts
in core, and even two classes called the exact same thing --
AnonymousUser.
The first case is Guardian::AnonymousUser, which is used for
people who are browsing the forum without being authenticated.
The second case is the model AnonymousUser, which is used when
a user is liking or posting anonymously via allow_anonymous_likes
or allow_anonymous_posting site settings.
We will untangle this naming nightmare later on...but for the
time being, only authenticated users who are pretending to be
anonymous should be able to like posts if allow_anonymous_likes
is on.
Why this change?
This is a first pass at adding an objects validator which main's job is
to validate an object against a defined schema which we will support. In
this pass, we are simply validating that properties that has been marked
as required are present in the object.
Reactions needs this to be able to filter out likes received
actions, where there is also an associated reaction, since
now most reactions also count as a like.
Why this change?
This is a follow up to c30aeafd9d. The
commit was calling `BlockRequestsMiddleware.allow_requests!` only before
`type: :system` tests but non system type tests could be running as well
and needs the `BlockRequestsMiddleware.allow_requests!` middleware to be
disabled too.
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.
Why this change?
We have been debugging flaky system tests and noticed in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/actions/runs/7911902047/job/21596791343?pr=25690
that ActiveRecord connection checkout timeouts are encountered because
the Capybara server thread is processing requests even after
`Capybara.reset_session!` and ActiveRecord's `teardown_fixtures` have already been call.
The theory here is that an inflight request can still hit the Capybara
server even after `Capybara.reset_session!` has been called and end up
eating up an ActiveRecord connection for too long and also messing with
the database outside of a transaction.
What does this change do?
This change adds a `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware in the test
environment which is enabled to reject all incoming requests at the end
of each system test and before `Capybara.reset_session!` is called. At
the start of each RSpec test, the middleware is disabled again.
Why this change?
On CI, we have been seeing flaky system tests because ActiveRecord is
unable to checkout a connection. This patch is meant to help us debug
which thread is not returning the connection to the queue.
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.
