Currently `Topic#pm_topic_count` is a count of all personal messages tagged for a given tag. As a result, any user with access to PM tags can poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new personal message has been created using that tag even if the user does not have access to the personal message. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
With this commit, `Topic#pm_topic_count` is hidden from users by default unless the `display_personal_messages_tag_counts` site setting is enabled.
When creating a group membership request, there is no character
limit on the 'reason' field. This can be potentially be used by
an attacker to create enormous amount of data in the database.
Added in c2013865d7,
this migration was supposed to only turn off the hashtag
setting for existing sites (since that was the old default)
but its doing it for new ones too because we run all migrations
on new sites.
Instead, we should only run this if the first migration was
only just created, meaning its a new site.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
If a secure upload's access_control_post was trashed, and an anon user
tried to look at that upload, they would get a 500 error rather than
the correct 403 because of an error inside the PostGuardian logic.
We show live user status on mentions starting from a76d864. But status didn’t appear on the post that appears on the bottom of the topic just after a user posted it (status appeared only after page reloading). This adds status to just posted posts.
A few specs in `dashboard_controller_spec.rb` set some state in redis but don't clean it up afterwards which causes other specs to fail when they're ran after `dashboard_controller_spec.rb`.

Featured topics are eventually serialized by `ListableTopicSerializer`
which calls `Topic#image_url` which requires us to preload
`Topic#topic_thumbnails`.
At the time of writing, this is how the `TopicPosterSerializer` looks
like:
```
class TopicPosterSerializer < ApplicationSerializer
attributes :extras, :description
has_one :user, serializer: PosterSerializer
has_one :primary_group, serializer: PrimaryGroupSerializer
has_one :flair_group, serializer: FlairGroupSerializer
end
```
Within `PosterSerializer`, the `primary_group` and `flair_group`
association is requested on the `user` object. However, the associations
have not been loaded on the `user` object at this point leading to the
N+1 queries problem. One may wonder
why the associations have not been loaded when the `TopicPosterSerializer`
has `has_one :primary_group` and `has_one :flair_group`. It turns out that `TopicPoster`
is just a struct containing the `user`, `primary_group` and
`flair_group` objects. The `primary_group` and `flair_group`
ActiveRecord objects are loaded seperately in `UserLookup` and not preloaded when querying for
the users. This is done for performance reason so that we are able to
load the `primary_group` and `flair_group` records in a single query
without duplication.
It was redefining rather than including them. It was causing this warning:
```
WARNING: Shared example group suspension of active user possible was defined without a block and will have no effect. Please define a block or remove the definition

We were changing the user's user_option.bookmark_auto_delete_preference
to whatever they changed it to in the bookmark modal to use as default
for future bookmarks. However this was leading to a lot of confusion
since if you wanted to set it for one bookmark you had to remember to
change it back on the next one.
This commit removes that automatic functionality, and instead moves
the bookmark auto delete preference to User Preferences > Interface
in an explicit dropdown.
This commit adds a new notification that gets sent to admins when the site gets new features after an upgrade/deploy. Clicking on the notification takes the admin to the admin dashboard at `/admin` where they can see the new features under the "New Features" section.
Internal topic: t/87166.
FEATURE: Chat and Sidebar are now on by default
- Set the sidebar site setting to be enabled by default
- Set the chat site setting to be enabled by default
- Updated existing specs that assumed the original default
- Use a migration to keep old defaults for existing sites
When user is watching category or tag (watching or watching first post) notifications are moved to other tab.
To achieve that and distinguish between post create to directly watched topics and indirectly watched topics, new notification type called `watching_category_or_tag` was introduced.
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
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.

The default behavior for Rails is to vary the response of an endpoint based on the `Accept:` header, and therefore it returns a `Vary:` header on responses. This instructs browsers and intermediate proxies to key their caches based on the value of the request's `Accept` header. In some cases (e.g. Akamai), the presence of a `Vary` header is enough to prevent caching entirely.
This commit restructures the Rails route definitions so that:
1. The "format" segment of the route is 'required'
2. The "format" segment of the route is constrained to a single value (e.g. `js` or `css`)
Now that the routes are guaranteed to have a `:format` segment, Rails will always prioritize that over the `Accept` header, and will therefore omit the `Vary` header.
Request specs are also added to test this behaviour for both stylesheets and theme-javascripts.
Note that we don't have a database table and a model for post mentions yet, and I decided to implement it without adding one to avoid heavy data migrations. Still, we may want to add such a model later, that would be convenient, we have such a model for mentions in chat.
Note that status appears on all mentions on all posts in a topic except of the case when you just posted a new post, and it appeared on the bottom of the topic. On such posts, status won't be shown immediately for now (you'll need to reload the page to see the status). I'll take care of it in one of the following PRs.
* 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
When uploads are stored on S3, by default Discourse will fetch the avatars and proxy them through to the requesting client. This is simple, but it can lead to significant inbound/outbound network load in the hosting environment.
This commit adds an optional redirect_avatar_requests GlobalSetting. When enabled, requests for user avatars will be redirected to the S3 asset instead of being proxied. This adds an extra round-trip for clients, but it should significantly reduce server load. To mitigate that extra round-trip for clients, a CDN with 'follow redirect' capability could be used.
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.

In this previous commit I introduced a bug that prevented
a legitimate case for an existing user to redeem an invite,
where the email/domain were both blank and the invite was
still redeemable by the user. Fixes the issue and adds more
specs for that case.
I'm hesitant to call this a performance improvement since claiming a
reviewable is probably rare. However, this commit cuts out two DB
queries each time we have to publish a reviewable claimed message. More
importantly, publishing to groups scales much better than publishing to
users because we esstentially cap the number ids we have to load into
memory.
