Theme modifiers can now be defined as theme settings, this allows for
site operators to override behavior of theme modifiers.
New syntax is:
```
{
...
"modifiers": {
"modifier_name": {
"type": "setting",
"value": "setting_name"
}
}
}
```
This also introduces a new theme modifier for serialize_post_user_badges. Name of badge must match the name of the badge in the badges table. The client-side is updated to load this new data from the post-stream serializer.

decorator-transforms (https://github.com/ef4/decorator-transforms) is a modern replacement for babel's plugin-proposal-decorators. It provides a decorator implementation using modern browser features, without needing to enable babel's full suite of class feature transformations. This improves the developer experience and performance.
In local testing with Google's 'tachometer' tool, this reduces Discourse's 'init-to-render' time by around 3-4% (230ms -> 222ms).
It reduces our initial gzip'd JS payloads by 3.2% (2.43MB -> 2.35MB), or 7.5% (14.5MB -> 13.4MB) uncompressed.
This was previously reverted in 97847f6. This version includes a babel transformation which works around the bug in Safari <= 15.
For Cloudflare compatibility issues, check https://meta.discourse.org/t/311390
This reverts commit 0f4520867b.
This has led to two problems:
1. An incompatibility with Cloudflare's "auto minify" feature. They've deprecated this feature because of incompatibility with modern JS syntax. But unfortunately it will remain enabled on existing properties until 2024-08-05.
2. Discourse fails to boot in Safari 15. This is strange, because Safari does support all the required features in our production JS bundles. Even more strangely, things start working as soon as you open the developer tools. That suggests the cause could be a Safari bug rather than a simple incompatibility.
Reverting while we work out a path forward on both those issues.

This commit introduces the `run_theme_migration` spec helper to allow
theme developers to write RSpec tests for theme migrations. For example,
this allows the following RSpec test to be written in themes:
```
RSpec.describe "0003-migrate-small-links-setting migration" do
let!(:theme) { upload_theme_component }
it "should set target property to `_blank` if previous target component is not valid or empty" do
theme.theme_settings.create!(
name: "small_links",
theme: theme,
data_type: ThemeSetting.types[:string],
value: "some text, #|some text 2, #, invalid target",
)
run_theme_migration(theme, "0003-migrate-small-links-setting")
expect(theme.settings[:small_links].value).to eq(
[
{ "text" => "some text", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
{ "text" => "some text 2", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
],
)
end
end
```
This change is being introduced because we realised that writting just
javascript tests for the migrations is insufficient since javascript
tests do not ensure that the migrated theme settings can actually be
successfully saved into the database. Hence, we are introduce this
helper as a way for theme developers to write "end-to-end" migrations
tests.
This is a follow up to e2da72b76c.
Why this change?
According to https://web.dev/articles/preload-critical-assets,
> By preloading a certain resource, you are telling the browser that you would like to fetch it sooner than the browser would otherwise discover it because you are certain that it is important for the current page.
The preload resource hint is meant to tell the browser to fetch
resources that it would not discover upfront or early. However, we are
not using it the right way because we are literally adding the resource
hint right before a `<script>` tag which means the browser would have
discovered the resource even without the resource hint.
What does this change do?
This commit removes the preload resource hint which are added right
before script tags since the optimization here is highly questionable at the expense of making
our initial DOM larger.
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.
Why this change?
This is caused by a regression in
59839e428f, where we stopped saving the
`Theme` object because it was unnecessary. However, it resulted in the
`after_save` callback not being called and hence
`Theme#update_javascript_cache!` not being called. As a result, some
sites were reporting that after runing a theme migration, the defaults
for the theme settings were used instead of the settings overrides
stored in the database.
What does this change do?
Add a call to `Theme#update_javascript_cache!` after running theme
migrations.
Why this change?
Returning an array makes it hard to immediately retrieve a setting by
name and makes the retrieval an O(N) operation. By returning an array,
we make it easier for us to lookup a setting by name and retrieval is
O(1) as well.
Why this change?
Currently, is it hard to iteratively write a theme settings migrations
because our theme migrations system does not rollback. Therefore, we
want to allow theme developers to be able to write QUnit tests for their
theme migrations files enabling them to iteratively write their theme
migrations.
What does this change do?
1. Update `Theme#baked_js_tests_with_digest` to include all `ThemeField`
records of `ThemeField#target` equal to `migrations`. Note that we do
not include the `settings` and `themePrefix` variables for migration files.
2. Don't minify JavaScript test files becasue it makes debugging in
development hard.
Why this change?
Importing theme with the `bundle` params is used mainly by
`discourse_theme` CLI in the development environment. However, we do not
want migrations to automatically run in the development environment
and instead want the developer to be intentional about running theme
migrations. As such, this commit adds support for a
`skip_migrations` param when importing a theme with the `bundle` params.
This commit also adds a `migrated` attribute for migrations theme fields
to indicate whether a migrations theme field has been migrated or not.
Previously we would only recompile a theme locale when its own data changes. However, the output also includes fallback data from other locales, so we need to invalidate all locales when fallback locale data is changed. Building a list of dependent locales is tricky, so let's just invalidate them all.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows theme developers to manage the transformation of theme settings over time. Similar to Rails migrations, the theme settings migration system enables developers to write and execute migrations for theme settings, ensuring a smooth transition when changes are required in the format or structure of setting values.
Example use cases for the theme settings migration system:
1. Renaming a theme setting.
2. Changing the data type of a theme setting (e.g., transforming a string setting containing comma-separated values into a proper list setting).
3. Altering the format of data stored in a theme setting.
All of these use cases and more are now possible while preserving theme setting values for sites that have already modified their theme settings.
Usage:
1. Create a top-level directory called `migrations` in your theme/component, and then within the `migrations` directory create another directory called `settings`.
2. Inside the `migrations/settings` directory, create a JavaScript file using the format `XXXX-some-name.js`, where `XXXX` is a unique 4-digit number, and `some-name` is a descriptor of your choice that describes the migration.
3. Within the JavaScript file, define and export (as the default) a function called `migrate`. This function will receive a `Map` object and must also return a `Map` object (it's acceptable to return the same `Map` object that the function received).
4. The `Map` object received by the `migrate` function will include settings that have been overridden or changed by site administrators. Settings that have never been changed from the default will not be included.
5. The keys and values contained in the `Map` object that the `migrate` function returns will replace all the currently changed settings of the theme.
6. Migrations are executed in numerical order based on the XXXX segment in the migration filenames. For instance, `0001-some-migration.js` will be executed before `0002-another-migration.js`.
Here's a complete example migration script that renames a setting from `setting_with_old_name` to `setting_with_new_name`:
```js
// File name: 0001-rename-setting.js
export default function migrate(settings) {
if (settings.has("setting_with_old_name")) {
settings.set("setting_with_new_name", settings.get("setting_with_old_name"));
}
return settings;
}
```

Why this change?
Currently, we do not have a method to easily retrieve a theme setting's
value on the server side. Such a method can be useful in the test
environment where we need to retrieve the theme's setting and use its
value in assertions.
What does this change do?
This change introduces the `Theme#get_setting` instance method.
We run the ember-this-fallback transformation on plugin and theme code so that they can continue omitting `this.` in `.hbs` templates. A bug in the implementation meant that it was incorrectly transforming things like `{{dir/some-component}}` into `<DirSomeComponent />` (rather than `<Dir::SomeComponent />`).
This commit uses patch-package to apply the fix from https://github.com/tildeio/ember-this-fallback/pull/56
Reverts e2705df and re-lands #23187 and #23219.
The issue was incorrect order of execution of Rails' `assets:precompile` task in our own precompilation stack.

Manipulating theme module paths means that the paths you author are not the ones used at runtime. This can lead to some very unexpected behavior and potential module name clashes. It also meant that the refactor in 16c6ab8661 was unable to correctly match up theme connector js/templates.
While this could technically be a breaking change, I think it is reasonably safe because:
1. Themes are already forced to use relative paths when referencing their own modules (since they're namespaced based on the site-specific id). The only time this might be problematic is when theme tests reference modules in the theme's main `javascripts` directory
2. For things like components/services/controllers/etc. our custom Ember resolver works backwards from the end of the path, so adding `discourse/` in the middle will not affect resolution.
Previously we were discovering plugin outlets by checking first for dedicated template files, and then looking for classes to match them. This doesn't work for components which are entirely defined in JS (e.g. those authored with gjs, or those which are re-exports of a colocated component).
This commit refactors our detection logic to look for both class and template modules in a single pass. It also refactors things so that the modules themselves are required lazily when needd, rather than all being loaded during app boot.
This brings the theme development experience (via the discourse_theme cli) closer to the experience of making javascript changes in Discourse core/plugins via Ember CLI. Whenever a change is made to a non-css theme field, all clients will be instructed to immediately refresh via message-bus.
Instead of having to remember every time, just always wait until the
current transaction (if it exists) has committed before clearing any
DistributedCache.
The only exception to this is caches that aren't caching things from
postgres.
This means we have to do the test setup after setting the test
transaction, because doing the test setup involves clearing caches.
Reapplying this - it now doesn't use after_commit if skip_db is set

Our theme system injects a magical `settings` object at the top of themes JS modules to allow theme authors to access the settings as configured by admins in the UI. Within this `settings` object, there are a couple of special objects `theme_uploads` and `theme_uploads_local` that contain URLs for all the assets/uploads that the theme has.
For test modules/files, the theme system also injects a `settings` object at the top of tests modules, but it's not the same object as the object that's injected in non-test files. The difference is that in tests we want the settings to have their default values as opposed to any custom values that may exist in the site's database. This ensures that test results are consistent no matter the site that runs them.
However, the `settings` object in tests files currently doesn't have the special objects `theme_uploads` and `theme_uploads_local` which means that if a theme includes an asset that's lazy-loaded, it's not possible to write tests for anything that depends on the lazy-loaded asset because the theme will not be able to load the asset during the tests since `theme_uploads_local` and `theme_uploads` don't exist. This PR adds these special objects inside the `settings` object for test files.
