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_to_allow_invite site setting to invite_allowed_groups.
Nothing much of note. This is used in one place and there's no fallout.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

* 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Don't cache user_fields on users separately from custom_fields, since they can get out of sync.

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.
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.
Why is this change required?
Prior to this change, we would list all group messages that a user
has access to in the user menu messages notifications panel dropdown.
However, this did not respect the topic's notification level setting and
group messages which the user has set to 'normal' notification level were
being displayed
What does this commit do?
With this commit, we no longer display all group messages that a user
has access to. Instead, we only display group messages that a user is
watching in the user menu messages notifications panel dropdown.

That column is obsolete since we added the `granted_title_badge_id` column in 2019 (56d3e29a69). Having both columns can lead to inconsistencies (mostly due to old data from before 2019).
For example, `BadgeGranter.revoke_ungranted_titles!` doesn't work correctly if `badge_granted_title` is `false` while `granted_title_badge_id` points to the badge that is used as title.
Similar spirit to e195e6f614,
this moves the Bookmarkable registration to DiscoursePluginRegistry
so plugins which are not enabled do not register additional
bookmarkable classes.
This commits adds a database migration to limit the user status to 100
characters, limits the user status in the UI and makes sure that the
emoji is valid.

* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

* FEATURE: Show warning if group cannot be mentioned
A similar warning is displayed when the user cannot be mentioned because
they have not been invited to the topic.
* FEATURE: Resolve mentions for new topic
This commit improves several improvements and refactors
/u/is_local_username route to a better /composer/mentions route that
can handle new topics too.
* FEATURE: Show warning if only some are notified
Sometimes users are still notified even if the group that was mentioned
was not invited to the message. This happens because its members were
invited directly or are members of other groups that were invited.
* DEV: Refactor _warnCannotSeeMention
* FEATURE: API to update user's discourse connect external id
This adds a special handling of updates to DiscourseConnect external_id
in the general user update API endpoint.
Admins can create, update or delete a user SingleSignOn record using
PUT /u/:username.json
{
"external_ids": {
"discourse_connect": "new-external-id"
}
}
The problem was reported as a problem with changing theme in user preferences, after saving a new theme the previously set user status was disappearing (https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-status/240335/42). Turned out though that the problem was more wide, changing pretty much any setting in user preferences apart from user status itself led to clearing the status.

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This commit adds non-archived group messages and `group_message_summary` notifications in the messages tab in the user menu. With this change, the messages tab in the user menu now includes 3 types of items:
1. Unread `private_message` notifications (notifications when you receive a reply in a PM)
2. Unread and read `group_message_summary` notifications (notifications when there's a new message in a group inbox that you track)
3. Non-archived personal and group messages
Unread `private_message` notifications are always shown first, followed by unread `group_message_summary` notifications, and then everything else (messages and read `group_message_summary` notifications) sorted by recency (most recent first).
Internal topic: t/72976.
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
The logic to determine what post excerpt to show for
a topic-level bookmark based on the last unread post
was complex and slow, so we decided to remove it and
always just use the first post excerpt.
This commit also fixes an issue where a couple of
instances of for_topic were missed when doing the
Bookmarkable refactors, so:
1. Clicking the topic bookmark link was not taking
the user to the last unread post
2. When replying to a topic where there was a topic
level bookmark with the auto delete preference
of "on owner reply", we were not removing the
bookmark from the UI correctly.
A test has been added for the former, the latter would
be quite time-consuming to test and not really worth
it considering it's quite an edge case UI bug.
Previously, for every bookmarked topic, all topic_user records were being preloaded. Only the current user's record is actually required.
This commit introduces a new `perform_custom_preload!` API which bookmarkables can use to add custom preloading logic. We use this in topic_bookmarkable to load just the topic_user data we need (in the same way as `topic_list.rb`).
