### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

Currently, in the list controller, when encountering an unsafe redirect
error, a 404 is rendered. The problem is that it’s done in a way that it
also logs a fatal error (because a `Discourse::NotFound` exception was
raised inside a `rescue_from` block).
This patch addresses that issue by simply rendering a 404 without
raising any error.
Currently, when a badly named category slug is provided, it can lead to
an infinite redirect.
This patch addresses the issue by properly unescaping `request.fullpath`
so the path is successfully rewritten and the redirect happens as
expected.
This commit patches `Net::HTTP` to reduce the default timeouts of 60
seconds when we are processing a request. There are certain routes in
Discourse which makes external requests and if the proper timeouts are
not set, we risk having the Unicorn master process force restarting the
Unicorn workers once the `30` seconds timeout is reached. This can
potentially become a vector for DoS attacks and this commit is aimed at
reducing the risk here.
In the formkit conversion in 2ca06ba236
we missed setting a type for the UppyImageUploader for badges. Also,
we were not passing down the `image_url` as form data, so when we used
`data.image` for that field the badge was not updating in the UI after
page loads and the image URL was not loading for preview.

Before this commit, running `rspec --seed 22953 --format documentation spec/requests/admin/site_texts_controller_spec.rb:191 spec/lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator_spec.rb:109` will fail.
Setting `I18n.config.available_locales` is equivalent to hard coding the
locales for the entire process. It should not be set so that `I18n` will
fallback to `backend.locales`.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.

In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
We have a dedicated admin page (`/admin/customize/email_templates`) that lets admins customize all emails that Discourse sends to users. The way this page works is that it lists all translations strings that are used for emails, and the list of translation strings is currently hardcoded and hasn't been updated in years. We've had a number of new emails that Discourse sends, so we should add those templates to the list to let admins easily customize those templates.

Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
* FEATURE: Clean up previously logged information after permanently deleting posts
When soft deleteing a topic or post, we will log some details in the
staff log, including the raw content of the post. Before this commit, we
will not clear the information in these records. Therefore, after
permanently deleting the post, `UserHistory` still retains copy of the
permanently deleted post. This is an unexpected behaviour and may raise
some potential legal issues.
This commit adds a behavior that when a post is permanently deleted, the
details column of the `UserHistory` associated with the post will be
overwritten to "(permanently deleted)". At the same time, for permanent
deletion, a new `action_id` is introduced to distinguish it from soft
deletion.

* FEATURE: Add logging for CustomEmoji
We didn't provide any logs for CustomEmoji before, nor did we record the
person who added any emoji in the database. As a result, the staff had
no way to trace back who added a certain emoji.
This commit adds a new column `user_id` to `custom_emojis` to record the
creator of an emoji. At the same time, a log is added for staff logs to
record who added or deleted a custom emoji.
Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
Previously, we did not log any topic slow mode changes. This allowed
some malicious (or just careless) TL4 users to delete slow modes created
by moderators at will. Administrators could not see who changed the slow
mode unless they had SQL knowledge and used Data Explorer.
This commit enables logging who turns slow mode on, off, or changes it.

This commit updates `TopicQuery.validators` to cover all of the
public options listed in `TopicQuery.public_valid_options`. This is done
to fix the app returning a 500 response code when an invalid value, such
as a hash, is passed as a query param when accessing the various topic
list routes.
Originally in 964da21817
we hid the SMTPAuthenticationError message except in
very specific cases. However this message often contains
helpful information from the mail provider, for example
here is a response from Office365:
> 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, user is locked by your
organization's security defaults policy. Contact your administrator.
So, we will show the error message in the modal UI instead
of supressing it with a generic message to be more helpful.
The watch words controller creation function, create_or_update_word(), doesn’t validate the size of the replacement parameter, unlike the word parameter, when creating a replace watched word. So anyone with moderator privileges can create watched words with almost unlimited characters.
This commit updates `StaticController#enter` to not redirect to invalid
paths when the `redirect` param is set. Instead it should redirect to `/` when the
`redirect` param is invalid.
### What is the problem?
We have recently added a new option to add user fields required for existing users. This is in contrast to requiring fields only on sign-up.
This revealed an existing problem. Consider the following:
1. User A signs up.
2. Admin adds a new user field required on sign-up. (Should not apply to User A since they already signed up.)
3. User A tries to update their profile.
**Expected behaviour:**
No problem.
**Actual behaviour:**
User A receives an error saying they didn't fill up all required fields.
### How does this fix it?
When updating profile, we only check that required fields that are "for all users" are filled. Additionally, we check that fields that were required on sign-up and have previously been filled are not blanked out.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.

Basing this setting on referrer was too brittle --
the referrer header can easily be ommitted or changed.
Instead, for the small amount of use cases that this
site setting serves, we can use a group-based setting
instead, changing it to `cross_origin_opener_unsafe_none_groups`
instead.
When a crawler visits a topic that has a deleted author, it would error because the `show.html.erb` view was expecting a user to be always present.
This ensure we don't render the "author" meta data when the author of the topic has been deleted.

Background:
In order to redrive failed webhook events, an operator has to go through and click on each. This PR is adding a mechanism to retry all failed events to help resolve issues quickly once the underlying failure has been resolved.
What is the change?:
Previously, we had to redeliver each webhook event. This merge is adding a 'Redeliver Failed' button next to the webhook event filter to redeliver all failed events. If there is no failed webhook events to redeliver, 'Redeliver Failed' gets disabled. If you click it, a window pops up to confirm the operator. Failed webhook events will be added to the queue and webhook event list will show the redelivering progress. Every minute, a job will be ran to go through 20 events to redeliver. Every hour, a job will cleanup the redelivering events which have been stored more than 8 hours.
Instead of the deprecated 'min trust level to allow ignore' in order to reduce the number of deprecation notices in the logs.
This tweaks a few serializers so that the 'can_ignore_users?` property is always coming from the server and properly used on the client-side.
SiteSetting.hide_user_profiles_from_public raises a Forbidden, which disallows our after_action: add no index header from triggering.

This commit moves topic view tracking from happening
every time a Topic is requested, which is susceptible
to inflating numbers of views from web crawlers, to
our request tracker middleware.
In this new location, topic views are only tracked when
the following headers are sent:
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW - This is sent on every page navigation when
clicking around the ember app. We count these as browser page views
because we know it comes from the AJAX call in our app. The topic ID
is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW_TOPIC_ID
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW - Sent when MessageBus initializes
after first loading the page to count the initial page load view. The
topic ID is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW.
This will bring topic views more in line with the change we
made to page views in the referenced commit and result in
more realistic topic view counts.
By default, secure sessions expire after 1 hour.
For OAuth authentication it should expire at the same time when the authentication cookie expires - `SiteSetting.maximum_session_age.hours`.
It is possible that the forum will not have persistent sessions, based on `persistent_sessions` site setting. In that case, with next username and password authentication we need to reset information about OAuth.
Bug introduced in this PR - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547
When bad data is provided in the URI for redirecting to a category,
Rails raises an `ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError`
error, leading to a 500 error.
This patch catches the exception to render a 404 instead.
Currently redirecting to an external URL through a permalink doesn’t
work because Rails raises a
`ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError` error.
This wasn’t the case before we upgraded to Rails 7.0.
This patch fixes the issue by using `allow_other_host: true` on the
redirect.
If, for whatever reasons, the user's locale is "blank" and an admin is accepting their group membership request, there will be an error because we're generating posts with the locale of recipient.
In order to fix this, we now use the `user.effective_locale` which takes care of multiple things, including returning the default locale when the user's locale is blank.

We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.

In this PR we introduced `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` setting https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27506
When it is set to false and the user is authenticated via OAuth, then we should not enforce the 2fa configuration.

This commit fixes a problem where the user will not be able to reset
their password when they only have security keys and backup codes
configured.
This commit also makes the following changes/fixes:
1. Splits password reset system tests to
`spec/system/forgot_password_spec.rb` instead of missing the system
tests in `spec/system/login_spec.rb` which is mainly used to test
the login flow.
2. Fixes a UX issue where the `Use backup codes` or `Use authenticator
app` text is shown on the reset password form when the user does
not have either backup codes or an authenticator app configured.
This makes it more obvious what's happening, and makes it much less likely that users will send repeated reset emails (and thereby hit the rate limit)

This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This commit moves the logic for crawler rate limits out of the application controller and into the request tracker middleware. The reason for this move is to apply rate limits to all crawler requests instead of just the requests that make it to the application controller. Some requests are served early from the middleware stack without reaching the Rails app for performance reasons (e.g. `AnonymousCache`) which results in crawlers getting 200 responses even though they've reached their limits and should be getting 429 responses.

We're planning to implement a feature that allows adding required fields for existing users. This PR does some preparatory refactoring to make that possible. There should be no changes to existing behaviour. Just a small update to the admin UI.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.

In 07ecbb5a3b we ensure the mentions in a group's activity page worked properly but we missed adding proper support for infinite loading.
The client is using the `before` parameter instead of the `before_post_id` to do the pagination.

I also added tests to the group's activity posts as well since those were missing.
Finally I deleted some unused code (`group.messages_for`) which is not used anymore.

This commit changes request method for "categories/search" from GET to
POST to make sure that long filters can be passed to the server. For
example, category selectors with many categories are setting the full
list of selected category IDs to ensure these are filtered out from the
list of choices. This can result in a long URL that exceeds the maximum
length.
The watched word group's create, update and delete action logs were missing the translations. This PR will add those strings and will use the group key instead of watched word key where needed.
At the moment, there is no way to create a group of related watched words together. If a user needed a set of words to be created together, they'll have to create them individually one at a time.
This change attempts to allow related watched words to be created as a group. The idea here is to have a list of words be tied together via a common `WatchedWordGroup` record. Given a list of words, a `WatchedWordGroup` record is created and assigned to each `WatchedWord` record. The existing WatchedWord creation behaviour remains largely unchanged.

This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
Selecting the +subcategories option does not work sometimes when "lazy
