* 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.

There is a bug with chat type flags - "An error occurred: Applies to is not included in the list"
Flag.valid_applies_to_types is a set of core types and types registered by plugins `Set.new(DEFAULT_VALID_APPLIES_TO | DiscoursePluginRegistry.flag_applies_to_types)`
Using lamba should ensure that valid values are calculated dynamically.
* 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.

In this other commit, I changed the email settings validator
to always use the `login` authentication method for
office365 and outlook, but I didn't change the actual
group SMTP mailer to do this.
This commit fixes that issue and does some minor refactoring.
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 OutOfDateThemes problem check is using an old method of setting the message, by overriding #message. It should instead use #translation_keys. (By chance I noticed the same thing applies to UnreachableThemes.
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.
Both office365 and outlook SMTP servers need LOGIN
SMTP authentication instead of PLAIN (which is what
we are using by default). This commit uses that
unconditionally for these servers, and also makes
sure to use STARTTLS for them too.
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.
* DEV: Upgrade Rails to 7.1
* FIX: Remove references to `Rails.logger.chained`
`Rails.logger.chained` was provided by Logster before Rails 7.1
introduced their broadcast logger. Now all the loggers are added to
`Rails.logger.broadcasts`.
Some code in our initializers was still using `chained` instead of
`broadcasts`.
* DEV: Make parameters optional to all FakeLogger methods
* FIX: Set `override_level` on Logster loggers (#27519)

This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.

We were using `autoclose` as the topic status update
when silently closing topics using the bulk
actions (introduced in 0464ddcd9b).
However, this resulted in a message like this showing in
the topic as a small moderator post:
> This topic was automatically closed after X days.
This is not accurate, the topic was bulk closed by someone.
Instead, we can use `closed` as the status, and a more accurate
> Closed on DATE
message is used. `TopicStatusUpdater` needed an additional
option to keep the same "fake read" behaviour as autoclose
so we can keep the same functionality for silently closing
topics in bulk actions.
This commit updates the `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password`
method to update `UserPassword#password_expired_at` when an existing
`UserPassword` record exists with the same `password_salt`,
`password_hash` and `password_algorithm`. This is to prevent the unique
validation error on `UserPassword#user_id` and
`UserPassword#password_hash` from being raised when the method is called
twice for a user that has not changed its password.
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
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 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.
When "unicode_usernames" is enabled, calling the "user_path" helper with a username containing some non ASCII character will break due to the route constraint we have on username.
This fixes the issue by always encoding the username before passing it to the "user_path" helper.

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.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
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 commit adds a `isValidUrl` helper function to the context in
which theme migrations are ran in. This helper function is to make it
easier for theme developers to check if a string is a valid URL or path
when writing theme migrations. This can be helpful in cases when
migrating a string based setting to `type: objects` which contain `type:
string` properties with URL validations enabled.
This commit also introduces the `UrlHelper.is_valid_url?` method
which actually checks that the URL string is of the valid format instead of
only checking if the URL string is parseable which is what `UrlHelper.relaxed_parse` does
and is not sufficient for our needs.
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
This commit adds a `getCategoryIdByName` helper function to the context in
which theme migrations are ran in. The purpose of this commit is to
allow themes which may have stored category names in theme settings to
migrate to objects typed theme settings which supports properties of
categories typed which stores the category ids in the value of the
property.
Automatically add `moderators` and `admins` auto groups to specific site settings.
In the new group-based permissions systems, we just want to check the user’s groups since it more accurately reflects reality
