There are two problems I'm trying to tackle here.
1. The site json is cached for anonymous users so readonly mode can be
cached for up to 30 minutes which makes it confusing.
2. We've already checked for readonly mode in the controller so having
to check for readonly mode again in `SiteSerializer` is adding an extra
Redis query on every request.
In some restricted setups all JS payloads need tight control.
This setting bans admins from making changes to JS on the site and
requires all themes be whitelisted to be used.
There are edge cases we still need to work through in this mode
hence this is still not supported in production and experimental.
Use an example like this to enable:
`DISCOURSE_WHITELISTED_THEME_REPOS="https://repo.com/repo.git,https://repo.com/repo2.git"`
By default this feature is not enabled and no changes are made.
One exception is that default theme id was missing a security check
this was added for correctness.
* FIX: add X-Robots-Tag header for check_xhr-covered GET actions, too
see https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-x-robots-tag/152593/3 for context
* test: a spec making sure X-Robots-Tag header is present when needed
/groups path responds to anonymous requests and doesn't skip `check_xhr` method, so we can use it here.
Google insists on indexing pages so it can figure out if they
can be removed from the index.
see: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en
This change ensures the we have special behavior for Googlebot
where we allow indexing, but block the actual indexing via
X-Robots-Tag
Expand SiteSetting.allow_index_in_robots_txt so it also adds a
noindex header if set to false.
This makes sure that nothing is indexed even if it somehow reaches
Google.
In development, if the ApplicationController is reloaded, then, previous
to this commit we were emitting an instance of the previous RenderEmpty
class, but rescuing from the reloaded instance.
Looking up RenderEmpty by its fully qualified name fixes this.
If for some reason an URL was create in this format:
```
?slug[]=foo&slug[]=bar
```
This would have create an exception of this kind:
```
NoMethodError (undefined method `tr' for ["foo", "bar"]:Array
Did you mean? try)
```
We like to stay as close as possible to latest with rubocop cause the cops
get better.
This update required some code changes, specifically the default is to avoid
explicit returns where implicit is done
Also this renames a few rules
- Show old and new email address during the process
- Ensure correct user is logged on when attempting to make email changes
- Support reloading a page during the email reset process without resubmit
of form
- Improve tests
- Fixed issue where redirect back to site was not linking correctly in
subfolder setups
Internal refactor of single action into 4 distinct actions that are simpler
to reason about.
This also removes the step that logs on an account after you confirm an
email change, since it is no longer needed which leaves us with safer
internals.
This left me no choice but to amend translations cause the old route was
removed.
This brings the behavior in line with native Discourse SSO. If login is required, and a user tries to visit the forum, they will be directed straight to the external login page without requiring any clicks.
Anonymous users are only possible if allow_anonymous_posting is true,
which means that 'user.is_anonymous' check implies that
allow_anonymous_posting is true.
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
Using popups is becoming increasingly rare. Full page redirects are already used on mobile, and for some providers. This commit removes all logic related to popup authentication, leaving only the full page redirect method.

Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
In development, we track the last requested theme id, and use that to refresh the correct stylesheet targets. The after_action hook runs on every request, but the preview_theme_id parameter is only sent on the initial HTML request. This commit ensures we only fetch the development theme_id on HTML requests
This can cause unbound CPU usage in some cases, and excessive logging in other cases. This commit moves redis readonly information into the local process, but maintains the DistributedCache for postgres readonly state.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

We had a missing formats: string on our render partial that caused logs to
spam when CSS files got 404s.
Due to magic discourse_public_exceptions.rb was actually returning the
correct 404 cause it switched format when rendering the error.
Historically due to https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-is-discourse-so-slow-on-android/8823
we decreased page sizes of both home page and topic page on android by half.
This was done on the server side and as a side effect and caused page sizes on android
to mismatch between Android and non Android.
Unfortunately about a year ago googlebot started pretending it is Android,
this cause Google to start indexing pages as what android would see. So
it saw double the amount of pages in the index as what exists on desktop.
This in turn caused double the amount of indexing work and a large amount
of broken links on long topics.
This fix removes all special behavior which is no longer needed due to
other performance work in Discourse including raw handlebars on home page
and virtual dom on topic pages.
I tested we do not need this on Blu Advance 5.0 it has 1.3 GHZ mediatec mt6580
This phone retails for around $50 USD.
If we decide long term that we want any hacks like this we will shift them
to the client side. It can just hold data in memory without rendering.
