In our production environment, we have been seeing Sidekiq processes
getting stuck randomly when a USR1 signal is sent to the Unicorn master
process. We have not been able to identify the root cause of why the
Sidekiq process gets stuck. We however noticed that when the Unicorn
master process receives a USR1 signal, it will reopen the logs for the
Unicorn master process first before sending a USR1 signal for the
Unicorn worker processes to reopen the logs. We figured that we should
do the same for the Sidekiq process as well when a USR1 signal.
In this commit, we introduce an arbitrary delay of 1 second before we
the Sidekiq process reopens its log files so as to allow enough time for the Unicorn
master to finish reopening it logs first.
We also do not send reopen logs for the Sidekiq process if the `DISCOURSE_LOG_SIDEKIQ`
env is not present because there is no need to reopen any logs.
When a post has some replies, and the user click on the button to show them, we would load ALL the replies. This could lead to DoS if there were a very large number of replies.
This adds support for pagination to these post replies.

Recently we updated the icon library from Font Awesome `5` to `6.6.0`. Since we were running Font Awesome 5 for a long time while 6 had already been released, we often specified in the codebase with the text _"FontAwesome 5"_. However, now that we are in the latest version, there is no need for our API's/comments to keep specifying for version 5. This PR updates all instances of FontAwesome 5 or FA5 and removes the version number to be the more generic: "FontAwesome"
We are going to start making section landing pages
for admin for each sidebar section. This lays the framework
with routes and simple components that can be further
refined by a designer, but I have taken the base CSS from
AI which Kris made.
The initial section landing items will be used in AI to replace
the placeholders added in this commit b8b3c61451
This commit introduces a feature that allows an admin to delete a user's
associated account. After deletion, a log will be recorded in staff
actions.
ref=t/136675
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
In 14cf8eacf1, we added the
`user_search_similar_results` site setting which when enabled will use
trigram matching for similarity search in `UserSearch`. However, we
noted that adding the `index_users_on_username_lower_trgm` index is
causing the PG planner to not use the `index_users_on_username_lower`
index when the `=` operator is used against the `username_lower` column.
Based on the PG mailing list discussion where support for the `=`
operator in gist_trgm_ops was being considered, it stated that "I also have checked that btree_gist is preferred over pg_trgm gist
index for equality search." This is however quite different from reality
on our own PG clusters where the btree index is not preferred leading to
significantly slower queries when the `=` operator is used.
Since the pg_trgm gist index is only used for queries when the `user_search_similar_results` site setting
is enabled, we decided to drop the feature instead as it is hidden and
disabled by default. As such, we can consider it experiemental and drop
it without deprecation.

Currently, when the custom flag has the same name as the system flag (which is disabled) then it is not displayed. To fix the problem, `custom_` prefix as `name_key` is used to distinguish between the system and the custom flag.
I considered writing a migration to fix existing custom flags name key. However, at the end of migration I would need to run rails code to reset cache `Flag.reset_flag_settings!`. I decided to skip that step as it is a very edge case. If someone has the same flag name as the system flag, then all they have to do is edit the flag and click save.
In addition, I made 2 small fixes:
- edit flag title was missing translation;
- flag form UI was not showing that description is the required field.
This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.
Internal topic: t/137717.
### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
* FEATURE: Log tag group changes in staff action log
This commit records every change (add, change, delete) to a tag group in
the staff action log.
It uses a modal that was originally called ThemeChangeModal to display
changes, allowing staffs to see the specific changes clearly. The modal
is renamed to StaffActionLogChangeModal in this PR.

These settings are misleading since plugins and themes
and theme components can rearrange and add buttons to
the post menu. Better to indicate this in the setting
description.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
A new setting attribute is used to define the areas (separated by `|`).
In addition, endpoint `/admin/config/site_settings.json` accepts new `filter_area` data.
This commit introduces a little bit of duplication
since the old plugin UIs not using the new plugin show
page look different from ones like AI and Gamification
which have been converted. We can use the new admin
header component on the plugins list, but for the other
pages we are manually rendering a breadcrumb trail and
the list of plugin tabs.
Over time as we convert more plugins to use the new UI
guidelines and show page we can get rid of this duplication.
This commit adds a description for all the auto groups
which will be shown in the group list and show group
pages, which will help admins understand their purpose
better.
Also adds an indicator with a tooltip to explain what
the auto groups are on the group show page.
The name `/theme-qunit` comes from the days when we served the main qunit tests at `/qunit`. Nowadays, with ember-cli, the core tests are on `/tests`, so `/theme-tests` makes more sense, and might be what people think to try.
Changing the name would be a fairly large refactor. But we can add a redirect very easily.
When searching for site texts for admin using the english
version of the text, previously we would show the english
version in the results _even if_ there was another locale
translated version available when a locale was selected
from the dropdown.
This commit adds a "Only show results in selected locale"
checkbox option which will instead make it so the results
shown are in the target locale, making it easier for translators
to tell when there is actually translations vs. missing tranlsations.

The link to inform admins that restore is disabled
was not correct. This fixes it and also changes it

This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.

This commit fixes a bug where the silence button is incorrectly displayed on the admin page of a staff user. It's not actually possible to silence a staff user because the backend correctly prevents it, but the frontend isn't checking if the button should be displayed.
Another small bug that this commit fixes is the similar users list not showing up inside the silence/suspend modals due to also a bug in the frontend.
I've also changed the way similar users are loaded so that they're not returned by the `admin/users#show` endpoint anymore and moved them into a new endpoint that the penalize modals (suspend and silence) can call directly to retrieve the list of users. This is done because the similar users list is never shown on the admin user page (`/admin/users/:user_id/:username`); they're only needed when the suspend or silence modals are opened.

Currently the push_notification_time_window_mins is set to 10
minutes by default. We want to change this to 1 minute, which is the
delay it has been set to on meta and our internal site already for over
a year now.
This conforms to the expectation users have that notifications are
delivered close to immediately.
This commit converts the Backups page in the admin interface
to follow our new admin interface guidelines.
As part of this work, I've also made `AdminPageHeader` and `AdminPageSubheader`
components that can be reused on any admin page for consistency, that handle
the title and action buttons and also breadcrumbs.
Also renamed `AdminPluginFilteredSiteSettings` to `AdminFilteredSiteSettings` since
it can be used generally to show a subset of filtered site settings, not only
settings for a plugin. Not sure if it's ideal to have to define a new route for this
for every config area, but not sure how else to do it right now.
The Listen gem watches recursively, which has a cost per-file on Linux (via rb-inotify). This commit skips a bunch of unnecessary directories to reduce the startup cost.

This commit fixes a number of bugs in `file_size_restriction` settings and does a little of refactoring to reduce duplicated code in site setting types (the refactoring is necessary to fix one of the bugs).
The bugs in `file_size_restriction` settings that are fixed in this commit:
1. Save/cancel buttons next to a `file_size_restriction` setting are shown upon navigating to the settings page without changes being made to the setting
2. Cancel button that discards changes made to the setting doesn't work
3. Reset button that resets the setting to its default doesn't work
4. Validation error message isn't cleared when resetting/cancelling changes
To repro those bugs, navigate to `/admin/site_settings/category/files` and observe the top 2 settings in the page (`max image size kb` and `max attachment size kb`).

This commit updates `Demon::Base#start` to call `Discourse.before_fork`
before forking. According to the docs in `mini_racer`, we need to
"Dispose manually of all MiniRacer::Context objects prior to forking".
This commit is motivated by a segmentation fault which we are seeing in
production when killing a daemon process. Backtrace of the core dump
includes traces of `mini_racer` so we think this is the cause. Note that
we are not 100% sure if this will fix the issue.
### 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
```

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add sections for showing the site admins and moderators.
The lists of admins and moderators display the 10 most recently seen admins/moderators, with a button to display the rest of admins or moderators. Admins or moderators that have not logged in to the site in the last year will not be shown. Clicking on an admin's or moderator's name/avatar will show their user card.
This commit adds a `MiniSchedulerLongRunningJobLogger` class which will
poll every 60 seconds for mini_scheduler jobs which are stuck. When it
detects that a job is stuck, it will log a warning message with the
current backtrace of the thread that is executing the job.
Note that for scheduled jobs which are executed at a frequency of less
than 30 minutes, we will log when the job has been executing for 30
minutes.
For scheduled jobs executed at a frequency of less than 2 hours, we will
log when the job has been executing for a duration greater than its
specified frequency.
For scheduled jobs executed at a frequency greater than 2 hours, we will
log as long as the job has been executing for more than 2 hours.
Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add the site age and a section on the right hand side to show site activities/statistics such as topics, posts, sign-ups, likes etc.
Admin can create up to 50 custom flags. It is limited for performance reasons.
When the limit is reached "Add button" is disabled and backend is protected by guardian.
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 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.
The current pluralization rules used by the I18n system in Ruby are
obsolete and don’t follow the official rules available at
unicode.org/cldr/charts/45/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html.
Using https://github.com/ruby-i18n/ruby-cldr, new and updated ones have
been generated.
We have some MF strings that are outputting HTML tags (typically links)
and their attributes are using single quotes. The problem is that with
the current implementation of MessageFormat, single quotes act as an
escaping mechanism for special characters like `{`. This then prevents
from interpolating some variables in the strings.
This patch addresses that issue by using double quotes instead,
restoring the expected behavior.
Form Kit is our new form library/framework for unifying the way forms look across Discourse. The admin config area for the /about page is a new form that isn't currently used, so it makes sense for it to be one of the first forms to be migrated to Form Kit to test the library.
