Previously, we couldn't change the user agent name dynamically for onebox requests. In this commit, a new hidden site setting `onebox_user_agent` is created to override the default user agent value specified in the [initializer](c333e9d6e6/config/initializers/100-onebox_options.rb (L15)).

This commit promotes the new topic bulk action
menu introduced in 89883b2f51
to the main method of bulk selecting and performing
actions on topics. The site setting flag gating this
feature is deleted, and the old bulk select code is
deleted as well.
The new modal shows a loading spinner while operations
are taking place, allows selecting the action from a dropdown
instead of having a 2-step modal flow,
and also supports additional options for some operations, e.g.
allowing Close silently.
This commit introduces the foundation for a new design for the /about page that we're currently working on. The current version will remain available and still be the default until we finish the new version and are ready to roll out. To opt into the new version right now, add one or more group to the `experimental_redesigned_about_page_groups` site setting and members in those groups will get the new version.

GitHub auth tokens cannot be made with permissions to
access multiple organisations. This is quite limiting.
This commit changes the site setting to be a "secret list"
type, which allows for a key/value mapping where the value
is treated like a password in the UI.
Now when a GitHub URL is requested for oneboxing, the
org name from the URL is used to determine which token
to use for the request.
Just in case anyone used the old site setting already,
there is a migration to create a `default` entry
with that token in the new list setting, and for
a period of time we will consider that token valid to
use for all GitHub oneboxes as well.
This commit adds the ability to onebox private GitHub
commits, pull requests, issues, blobs, and actions using
a new `github_onebox_access_token` site setting. The token
must be set up in correctly to have access to the repos needed.
To do this successfully with the Oneboxer, we need to skip
redirects on the github.com host, otherwise we get a 404
on the URL before it is translated into a GitHub API URL
and has the appropriate headers added.

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.
This commit adds a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket_region` site setting to
specify the region of the `s3_inventory_bucket` when the `S3Inventory`
class initializes an instance of the `S3Helper`. By default, the
`S3Helper` class uses the value of the `s3_region` site setting but the
region of the `s3_inventory_bucket` is not always the same as the
`s3_region` configured.
This site setting has always been experimental and hidden since it was
added 7 years ago. Drop it to simplify the way we enable logging in a
logstash friendly way.
Adds experimental_flags_admin_page_enabled_groups (default "")
to remove the Moderation Flags link from the admin sidebar for now,
there are still a few bugfixes that need to be done before we
are comfortable with turning this on more widely. This is
a _temporary_ flag, we will be removing this once the feature
is more stable.
This commit continues work laid out by ffec8163b0 for the admin config page for the /about page. The last commit set up the user interface, and this one sets up all the wiring needed to make the input fields and save buttons actually work.
Internal topic: t/128544.
Adds a checkbox to filter untranslated text strings in the admin UI, behind a hidden and default `false` site setting `admin_allow_filter_untranslated_text`.
Many site settings can be distructive or have huge side-effects
for a site that the admin may not be aware of when changing it.
This commit introduces a `requires_confirmation` attribute that
can be added to any site setting. When it is true, a confirmation
dialog will open if that setting is changed in the admin UI,
optionally with a custom message that is defined in client.en.yml.
If the admin does not confirm, we reset the setting to its previous
clean value and do not save the new value.
Some tooling may rely on an unsafe-none cross origin opener policy to work. This change adds a hidden site setting that can be used to list referrers where we add this header instead of the default one configured in cross_origin_opener_policy_header.
A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.
This commit introduces a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site setting which
replaces the `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site setting.
The reason `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site settings are removed is because this feature has technically been
broken since it was introduced. When the `enable_s3_inventory` feature
is turned on, the app will because configure a daily inventory policy for the
`s3_upload_bucket` bucket and store the inventories under a prefix in
the bucket. The problem here is that once the inventories are created,
there is nothing cleaning up all these inventories so whoever that has
enabled this feature would have been paying the cost of storing a whole
bunch of inventory files which are never used. Given that we have not
received any complains about inventory files inflating S3 storage costs,
we think that it is very likely that this feature is no longer being
used and we are looking to drop support for this feature in the not too
distance future.
For now, we will still support a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site
setting which site administrators can configure via the
`DISCOURSE_S3_INVENTORY_BUCKET` env.

The initial implementation of glimmer topic-list and related components. Does not include new APIs and isn't compatible with existing customization. That's gonna come in future PRs.
Enabled by adding groups to `experimental_glimmer_topic_list_groups` setting.
Per https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/overview-google-crawlers
> GoogleOther is the generic crawler that may be used by various product teams for fetching publicly accessible content from sites. For example, it may be used for one-off crawls for internal research and development.
This commit will ensure it's served the crawler view, and included in crawler metrics
This commit adds the most common AI bot crawlers seen
on our hosting (claudebot, gptbot, anthropic-ai, brightbot)
to our `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `crawler_user_agents`
site settings by default.
This means these AI bots will be rate limited by default instead
of site admins having to remember to do it for themselves.
LinkedIn has grandfathered its old OAuth2 provider. This can only be used by existing apps. New apps have to use the new OIDC provider.
This PR adds a linkedin_oidc provider to core. This will exist alongside the discourse-linkedin-auth plugin, which will be kept for those still using the deprecated provider.
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

This will automatically enable the glimmer header when all installed themes/plugins are ready. This replaces the old group-based site setting.
In 'auto' mode, we check for calls to deprecated APIs (e.g. decorateWidget) which affect the old header. If any are present, we stick to the old header implementation and print a message to the console alongside the normal deprecation messages.
To override this automatic behavior, a new `glimmer_header_mode` site setting can be set to 'disabled' or 'enabled'.
This change also means that our test suite is running with the glimmer header. This unveiled a couple of small issues (e.g. some incorrect `aria-*` and `alt` text) which are now fixed. A number of selectors had to be updated to ensure the tests were clicking the actual `<button>` elements rather than the surrounding `<li>` elements.
* DEV: Various bulk-select dropdown tweaks
- Setting is no longer hidden
- descriptions have been moved to the modal
- Removed ... from one of the dropdown titles
This adds a hidden site setting of `skip_email_bulk_invites`
If set to `true`, the `BulkInvite` job will pass the value to `Invite`, meaning the generated invite wont trigger an email notification being sent to the newly invited user.
(This is useful if you want to manage the sending of the invite emails outside of Discourse.)
It's not really intentional to have regular admins change
this in all but pathological cases. It deletes all notifications
over this threshold for users without warning. If admins
really want to turn this on, they can do it via the app.yml file
This commit removes the 'experimental_preconnect_link_header' site setting, and the 'preload_link_header' site setting, and introduces two new global settings: early_hint_header_mode and early_hint_header_name.
We don't actually send 103 Early Hint responses from Discourse. However, upstream proxies can be configured to cache a response header from the app and use that to send an Early Hint response to future clients.
- `early_hint_header_mode` specifies the mode for the early hint header. Can be nil (disabled), "preconnect" (lists just CDN domains) or "preload" (lists all assets).
- `early_hint_header_name` specifies which header name to use for the early hint. Defaults to "Link", but can be changed to support different proxy mechanisms.
This user-agent is sent when URLs are inspected via the UI of Google's search console. It makes sense for us to serve it the same content as other bots, including GoogleBot.
Why this change?
In https://web.dev/articles/preconnect-and-dns-prefetch, it describes
how hinting to the browser to preconnect to domains which we will
eventually use the connection for can help improve the time it takes to
load a page.
We are putting this behind an experimental flag so that we can test and
profile this in a production environment.
What does this change introduce?
Introduce a hidden experimental `experimental_preconnect_link_header`
site setting which when enabled will add the `preconnect` and
`dns-prefetch` resource hints to the response headers for full page load
requests.
Adds a site setting to include a post's content in penalty message.
When silencing/suspending a user from a post, or a reviewable with
a post, adds an option to include a post's content in the email
message by default.
When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
Also, remove experimental setting and simply use top_menu for feature detection
This means that when people eventually enable the hot top menu, there will
be topics in it

Affects the following settings:
delete_all_posts_and_topics_allowed_groups
experimental_new_new_view_groups
enable_experimental_admin_ui_groups
custom_summarization_allowed_groups
pm_tags_allowed_for_groups
chat_allowed_groups
direct_message_enabled_groups
chat_message_flag_allowed_groups
This turns off client: true for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
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.
When we show the links to installed plugins in the admin
sidebar (for plugins that have custom admin routes) we were
previously only doing this if you opened /admin, not if you
navigated there from the main forum. We should just always
preload this data if the user is admin.
This commit also changes `admin_sidebar_enabled_groups` to
not be sent to the client as part of ongoing efforts to
not check groups on the client, since not all a user's groups
may be serialized.
Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.
Affects the following settings:
* whispers_allowed_groups
* anonymous_posting_allowed_groups
* personal_message_enabled_groups
* shared_drafts_allowed_groups
* here_mention_allowed_groups
* uploaded_avatars_allowed_groups
* ignore_allowed_groups
This turns off `client: true` for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
- Created a new migration for here_mention
- Updated existing migration for here_mention
- Updated site settings for here_mention, create_tag, and
send_email_messages
* DEV: Update min trust level to tag topics migration to groups
- Update the existing migration to include staff and admin
- Update default values
- Added migration to include staff and admin cases
Checking group permissions on the client does not work,
since not all groups are serialized to the client all
the time. We can check `uploaded_avatars_allowed_groups`
on the server side and serialize to the current user
instead.
There are some cases where staff (admins/mods) can
be in lower trust levels, so some of these checks will
fail for them. Since we want to keep allowing this (for now)
we should set most settings to also default to be allowed
for staff too, since the old `has_trust_level?` check
worked in this way.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.

If configuring only moderators in a group based access setting, the mapping to the old setting wouldn't work correctly, because the case was unaccounted for.

- Decrease gravity, we come in too hot prioritizing too many new topics
- Remove all muted topics / categories and tags from the hot list
- Punish topics with zero likes in algorithm
This introduces a new experimental hot sort ordering.
It attempts to float top conversations by first prioritizing a topics with lots of recent activity (likes and users responding)
The schedule that updates hot topics is disabled unless the hidden site setting: `experimental_hot_topics` is enabled.
You can control "decay" with `hot_topic_gravity` and `recency` with `hot_topics_recent_days`
Data is stored in the new `topic_hot_scores` table and you can check it out on the `/hot` route once
enabled.

Merges the design experiment at
https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-quote-copy-to-clipboard-button-feedback/285376
into core.
This adds a new button by default to the menu that pops up when text is
selected in a post.
The normal Quote button that is shown when selecting text within a post
will open the composer with the quote markdown prefilled.
This new "Copy Quote" button copies the quote markdown directly to the
user’s clipboard. This is useful for when you want to copy the quote
elsewhere – to another topic or a chat message for instance – without
having to manually copy from the opened composer, which then has to be
dismissed afterwards. An example of quote markdown:
```
[quote="someuser, post:7, topic:285376"]
In this moment, I am euphoric.
[/quote]
```

This is enabled by default, but can be disabled via the `warn_critical_js_deprecations` hidden site setting.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki site setting to self_wiki_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
Why this change?
This is part of our efforts to harden the security of the Discourse
application. Setting the `CROSS_ORIGIN_OPENER_POLICY` header to `same-origin-allow-popups`
by default makes the application safer. We have opted to make this a
hidden site setting because most admins will never have to care about
this setting so we're are opting not to show it. If they do have to
change it, they can still do so by setting the
`DISCOURSE_CROSS_ORIGIN_OPENER_POLICY` env.
