Rewrite the test so that we don't have a dedicated URL for testing.
dev_update_subgroups is called directly from the tests without using the
test client.
**Background**
User groups are expected to comply with the DAG constraint for the
many-to-many inter-group membership. The check for this constraint has
to be performed recursively so that we can find all direct and indirect
subgroups of the user group to be added.
This kind of check is vulnerable to phantom reads which is possible at
the default read committed isolation level because we cannot guarantee
that the check is still valid when we are adding the subgroups to the
user group.
**Solution**
To avoid having another transaction concurrently update one of the
to-be-subgroup after the recursive check is done, and before the subgroup
is added, we use SELECT FOR UPDATE to lock the user group rows.
The lock needs to be acquired before a group membership change is about
to occur before any check has been conducted.
Suppose that we are adding subgroup B to supergroup A, the locking protocol
is specified as follows:
1. Acquire a lock for B and all its direct and indirect subgroups.
2. Acquire a lock for A.
For the removal of user groups, we acquire a lock for the user group to
be removed with all its direct and indirect subgroups. This is the special
case A=B, which is still complaint with the protocol.
**Error handling**
We currently rely on Postgres' deadlock detection to abort transactions
and show an error for the users. In the future, we might need some
recovery mechanism or at least better error handling.
**Notes**
An important note is that we need to reuse the recursive CTE query that
finds the direct and indirect subgroups when applying the lock on the
rows. And the lock needs to be acquired the same way for the addition and
removal of direct subgroups.
User membership change (as opposed to user group membership) is not
affected. Read-only queries aren't either. The locks only protect
critical regions where the user group dependency graph might violate
the DAG constraint, where users are not participating.
**Testing**
We implement a transaction test case targeting some typical scenarios
when an internal server error is expected to happen (this means that the
user group view makes the correct decision to abort the transaction when
something goes wrong with locks).
To achieve this, we add a development view intended only for unit tests.
It has a global BARRIER that can be shared across threads, so that we
can synchronize them to consistently reproduce certain potential race
conditions prevented by the database locks.
The transaction test case lanuches pairs of threads initiating possibly
conflicting requests at the same time. The tests are set up such that exactly N
of them are expected to succeed with a certain error message (while we don't
know each one).
**Security notes**
get_recursive_subgroups_for_groups will no longer fetch user groups from
other realms. As a result, trying to add/remove a subgroup from another
realm results in a UserGroup not found error response.
We also implement subgroup-specific checks in has_user_group_access to
keep permission managing in a single place. Do note that the API
currently don't have a way to violate that check because we are only
checking the realm ID now.
Adds typing notification constants to the response given by
`POST /register`. Until now, these were hardcoded by clients
based on the documentation for implementing typing notifications
in the main endpoint description for `api/set-typing-status`.
This change also reflects updating the web-app frontend code
to use the new constants from the register response.

This adds API support to reorder linkifiers and makes sure that the
returned lists of linkifiers from `GET /events`, `POST /register`, and
`GET /realm/linkifiers` are always sorted with the order that they
should processed when rendering linkifiers.
We set the new `order` field to the ID with the migration. This
preserves the order of the existing linkifiers.
New linkifiers added will always be ordered the last. When reordering,
the `order` field of all linkifiers in the same realm is updated, in
a manner similar to how we implement ordering for
`custom_profile_fields`.

Having exactly 17 or 18 middlewares, on Python 3.11.0 and above,
causes python to segfault when running tests with coverage; see
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106092
Work around this by adding one or two no-op middlewares if we would
hit those unlucky numbers. We only add them in testing, since
coverage is a requirement to trigger it, and there is no reason to
burden production with additional wrapping.

Failing to remove all of the rules which were added causes action at a
distance with other tests. The two methods were also only used by
test code, making their existence in zerver.lib.rate_limiter clearly
misplaced.
This fixes one instance of a mis-balanced add/remove, which caused
tests to start failing if run non-parallel and one more anonymous
request was added within a rate-limit-enabled block.
This in-progress feature was started in 2018 and hasn't

We do still want to add search pills eventually, and when

This doesn't have any obvious security implications right now, but
nonetheless such information is not meant to stick around in the session
if authentication didn't succeed and not cleaning up would be a bug.
This is a useful improvement in general for making correct
LogoutRequests to Idps and a necessary one to make SP-initiated logout
fully work properly in the desktop application. During desktop auth
flow, the user goes through the browser, where they log in through their
IdP. This gives them a logged in browser session at the IdP. However,
SAML SP-initiated logout is fully conducted within the desktop
application. This means that proper information needs to be given to the
the IdP in the LogoutRequest to let it associate the LogoutRequest with
that logged in session that was established in the browser. SessionIndex
is exactly the tool for that in the SAML spec.
This gives more flexibility on a server with multiple organizations and
SAML IdPs. Such a server can have some organizations handled by IdPs
with SLO set up, and some without it set up. In such a scenario, having
a generic True/False server-wide setting is insufficient and instead
being able to specify the IdPs/orgs for SLO is needed.
Closes#20084
This is the flow that this implements:
1. A logged-in user clicks "Logout".
2. If they didn't auth via SAML, just do normal logout. Otherwise:
3. Form a LogoutRequest and redirect the user to
https://idp.example.com/slo-endpoint?SAMLRequest=<LogoutRequest here>
4. The IdP validates the LogoutRequest, terminates its own user session
and redirects the user to
https://thezuliporg.example.com/complete/saml/?SAMLRequest=<LogoutResponse>
with the appropriate LogoutResponse. In case of failure, the
LogoutResponse is expected to express that.
5. Zulip validates the LogoutResponse and if the response is a success
response, it executes the regular Zulip logout and the full flow is
finished.
We now set tos_version to "-1" for imported users and the ones
created using API or using other methods like LDAP, SCIM and
management commands. This value will help us to allow users to
change email address visibility setting during first login.
The immediate application of this will be for SAML SP-initiated logout,
where information about which IdP was used for authenticating the
session needs to be accessed. Aside of that, this seems like generally
valuable session information to keep that other features may benefit
from in the future.
This will help us remove scheduled message and reminder logic

In #23380 we want to change all ocurrences of `uri` to `url`. This
commit changes the ocurrences of `uri` appeared in files related to
email, including templates (`.html`, `.txt`) and backend (`.py`)
codes.
In `email.md`, `base_images_uri` is changed to `images_base_url` -
the words `base` and `images` are swapped and plural form is added
for `image`. This is becasue the former is not found anywhere in
the codebase while the later appears a lot. To reduce confusion,
this doccumentation changed accordingly.
This implements the core of the rewrite described in:
For the backend data model for UserPresence to one that supports much
more efficient queries and is more correct around handling of multiple
clients. The main loss of functionality is that we no longer track
which Client sent presence data (so we will no longer be able to say
using UserPresence "the user was last online on their desktop 15
minutes ago, but was online with their phone 3 minutes ago"). If we
consider that information important for the occasional investigation
query, we have can construct that answer data via UserActivity
already. It's not worth making Presence much more expensive/complex
to support it.
For slim_presence clients, this sends the same data format we sent
before, albeit with less complexity involved in constructing it. Note
that we at present will always send both last_active_time and
last_connected_time; we may revisit that in the future.
This commit doesn't include the finalizing migration, which drops the
UserPresenceOld table.
The way to deploy is to start the backfill migration with the server
down and then start the server *without* the user_presence queue worker,
to let the migration finish without having new data interfering with it.
Once the migration is done, the queue worker can be started, leading to
the presence data catching up to the current state as the queue worker
goes over the queued up events and updating the UserPresence table.

Moves jwt_fetch_api_key endpoint to v1_api_mobile_patterns so
that tools/test-api detects it as an API endpoint that is pending
documentation.
Fixes#24982.
So far, we've used the BitField .authentication_methods on Realm
for tracking which backends are enabled for an organization. This
however made it a pain to add new backends (requiring altering the
column and a migration - particularly troublesome if someone wanted to
create their own custom auth backend for their server).
Instead this will be tracked through the existence of the appropriate
rows in the RealmAuthenticationMethods table.
This commit adds a new endpoint, 'POST /user_topics' which
is used to update the personal preferences for a topic.
Currently, it is used to update the visibility policy of
a user-topic row.
Some well-intentioned adblockers also block Sentry client-side error
reporting. Provide an endpoint on the Zulip server which forwards to
the Sentry server, so that these requests are not blocked.
While the function which processes the realm registration and
signup remains the same, we use different urls and functions to
call the process so that we can separately track them. This will
help us know the conversion rate of realm registration after
receiving the confirmation link.
Zulip already has integrations for server-side Sentry integration;
however, it has historically used the Zulip-specific `blueslip`
library for monitoring browser-side errors. However, the latter sends
errors to email, as well optionally to an internal `#errors` stream.
While this is sufficient for low volumes of users, and useful in that
it does not rely on outside services, at higher volumes it is very
difficult to do any analysis or filtering of the errors. Client-side
errors are exceptionally noisy, with many false positives due to
browser extensions or similar, so determining real real errors from a
stream of un-grouped emails or messages in a stream is quite
difficult.
Add a client-side Javascript sentry integration. To provide useful
backtraces, this requires extending the pre-deploy hooks to upload the
source-maps to Sentry. Additional keys are added to the non-public
API of `page_params` to control the DSN, realm identifier, and sample
rates.
7ad06473b6 split out `LOCAL_AVATARS_DIR` and `LOCAL_FILES_DIR` as
derived values from `LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR`. However, this means that all
places which set `LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR` need to potentially propagate
that change into the derived values if they come *after*
`computed_settings.py` is applied. It did this successfully in
`zerver/lib/test_runner.py` and the `use_s3_backend` decorator, but
did not adjust the late-set `zproject/test_extra_settings.py`.
This causes tests to share a single common set of avatars and
attachments directories. In puppeteer tests, this leads to assertion
failures checking `assert_is_local_storage_path`; in backend tests,
this leads to races when checking the contents of the local storage
directory when run in parallel mode.
Set `LOCAL_AVATARS_DIR` and `LOCAL_FILES_DIR` based on
`LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR` when it is pulled from the environment during
testing.
This is the behaviour inherited from Django[^1]. While setting the
password to empty (`email_password = `) in
`/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf` also would suffice, it's unclear what
the user would have been putting into `EMAIL_HOST_USER` in that
context.
Because we previously did not warn when `email_password` was not
present in `zulip-secrets.conf`, having the error message clarify the
correct configuration for disabling SMTP auth is important.
Fixes: #23938.

We're changing the ping interval from 50s to 60s, because that's what
the mobile apps have hardcoded currently, and backwards-compatibility
is more important there than the web app's previously hardcoded 50s.
For PRESENCE_PING_INTERVAL_SECS, the previous value hardcoded in both
clients was 140s, selected as "plenty of network/other latency more
than 2 x ACTIVE_PING_INTERVAL_MS". This is a pretty aggressive value;
even a single request being missed or 500ing can result in a user
appearing offline incorrectly. (There's a lag of up to one full ping
interval between when the other client checks in and when you check
in, and so we'll be at almost 2 ping intervals when you issue your
next request that might get an updated connection time from that
user).
To increase failure tolerance, we want to change the offline
threshhold from 2 x ACTIVE_PING_INTERVAL + 20s to 3 x
ACTIVE_PING_INTERVAL + 20s, aka 140s => 200s, to be more robust to
temporary failures causing us to display other users as offline.
Since the mobile apps currently have 140s and 60s hardcoded, it should
be safe to make this particular change; the mobile apps will just
remain more aggressive than the web app in marking users offline until
it uses the new API parameters.
The end result in that Zulip will be slightly less aggressive at
marking other users as offline if they go off the Internet. We will
likely be able to tune ACTIVE_PING_INTERVAL downwards once #16381 and
its follow-ups are completed, because it'll likely make these requests
much cheaper.
As of the previous commit, the server provides these parameters in
page_params. The defaults match the values hard-coded in the webapp so
far - so get rid of the hard-coded values in favor of taking them from
page_params.
This old 300s value was meaningfully used in 2 places:
1. In the do_change_user_settings presence_enabled codepath when turning
a user invisible. It doesn't matter there, 140s is just since the
point is to make clients see this user as offline. And 140s is the
threshold used by clients (see the presence.js constant).
2. For calculating whether to set "offline" "status" in
result["presence"]["aggregated"] in get_presence_backend. It's fine
for this to become 140s, since clients shouldn't be looking at the
status value anymore anyway and just do their calculation based on
the timestamps.
Rename 'muting.py' to 'user_mutes.py' because it, now

This adds a new endpoint /jwt/fetch_api_key that accepts a JWT and can
be used to fetch API keys for a certain user. The target realm is
inferred from the request and the user email is part of the JWT.
A JSON containing an user API key, delivery email and (optionally)
raw user profile data is returned in response.
The profile data in the response is optional and can be retrieved by
setting the POST param "include_profile" to "true" (default=false).

These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content,
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.
Since we want to use `accounts/new/send_confirm` to know how many
users actually register after visiting the register page, we
added it to Google Tag Manager, but GTM tracks every user
registration separately due <email> in the URL
making it harder to track.
To solve this, we want to pass <email> as a GET parameter which
can be easily filtered inside GTM using a RegEx and all the
registrations can be tracked as one.
When file uploads are stored in S3, this means that Zulip serves as a
302 to S3. Because browsers do not cache redirects, this means that
no image contents can be cached -- and upon every page load or reload,
every recently-posted image must be re-fetched. This incurs extra
load on the Zulip server, as well as potentially excessive bandwidth
usage from S3, and on the client's connection.
Switch to fetching the content from S3 in nginx, and serving the
content from nginx. These have `Cache-control: private, immutable`
headers set on the response, allowing browsers to cache them locally.
Because nginx fetching from S3 can be slow, and requests for uploads
will generally be bunched around when a message containing them are
first posted, we instruct nginx to cache the contents locally. This
is safe because uploaded file contents are immutable; access control
is still mediated by Django. The nginx cache key is the URL without
query parameters, as those parameters include a time-limited signed
authentication parameter which lets nginx fetch the non-public file.
This adds a number of nginx-level configuration parameters to control
the caching which nginx performs, including the amount of in-memory
index for he cache, the maximum storage of the cache on disk, and how
long data is retained in the cache. The currently-chosen figures are
reasonable for small to medium deployments.
The most notable effect of this change is in allowing browsers to
cache uploaded image content; however, while there will be many fewer
requests, it also has an improvement on request latency. The
following tests were done with a non-AWS client in SFO, a server and
S3 storage in us-east-1, and with 100 requests after 10 requests of
warm-up (to fill the nginx cache). The mean and standard deviation
are shown.
| | Redirect to S3 | Caching proxy, hot | Caching proxy, cold |
| ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| Time in Django | 263.0 ms ± 28.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms |
| Small file (842b) | 586.1 ms ± 21.1 ms | 266.1 ms ± 67.4 ms | 288.6 ms ± 17.7 ms |
| Large file (660k) | 959.6 ms ± 137.9 ms | 609.5 ms ± 13.0 ms | 648.1 ms ± 43.2 ms |
The hot-cache performance is faster for both large and small files,
since it saves the client the time having to make a second request to
a separate host. This performance improvement remains at least 100ms
even if the client is on the same coast as the server.
Cold nginx caches are only slightly slower than hot caches, because
VPC access to S3 endpoints is extremely fast (assuming it is in the
same region as the host), and nginx can pool connections to S3 and
reuse them.
However, all of the 648ms taken to serve a cold-cache large file is
occupied in nginx, as opposed to the only 263ms which was spent in
nginx when using redirects to S3. This means that to overall spend
less time responding to uploaded-file requests in nginx, clients will
need to find files in their local cache, and skip making an
uploaded-file request, at least 60% of the time. Modeling shows a
reduction in the number of client requests by about 70% - 80%.
The `Content-Disposition` header logic can now also be entirely shared
with the local-file codepath, as can the `url_only` path used by
mobile clients. While we could provide the direct-to-S3 temporary
signed URL to mobile clients, we choose to provide the
served-from-Zulip signed URL, to better control caching headers on it,
and greater consistency. In doing so, we adjust the salt used for the
URL; since these URLs are only valid for 60s, the effect of this salt
change is minimal.
Moving `/user_avatars/` to being served partially through Django
removes the need for the `no_serve_uploads` nginx reconfiguring when
switching between S3 and local backends. This is important because a
subsequent commit will move S3 attachments to being served through
nginx, which would make `no_serve_uploads` entirely nonsensical of a
name.
Serve the files through Django, with an offload for the actual image
response to an internal nginx route. In development, serve the files
directly in Django.
We do _not_ mark the contents as immutable for caching purposes, since
the path for avatar images is hashed only by their user-id and a salt,
and as such are reused when a user's avatar is updated.
The `django-sendfile2` module unfortunately only supports a single
`SENDFILE` root path -- an invariant which subsequent commits need to
break. Especially as Zulip only runs with a single webserver, and
thus sendfile backend, the functionality is simple to inline.
It is worth noting that the following headers from the initial Django
response are _preserved_, if present, and sent unmodified to the
client; all other headers are overridden by those supplied by the
internal redirect[^1]:
- Content-Type
- Content-Disposition
- Accept-Ranges
- Set-Cookie
- Cache-Control
- Expires
As such, we explicitly unset the Content-type header to allow nginx to
set it from the static file, but set Content-Disposition and
Cache-Control as we want them to be.

When this code was moved from being in zerver in 21a2fd482e, it kept
the `if ZILENCER_ENABLED` blocks. Since ZILENCER and CORPORATE are
generally either both on or both off, the if statement became
mostly-unnecessary.
However, because tests cannot easily remove elements from
INSTALLED_APPS and re-determine URL resolution, we switch to checking
`if CORPORATE_ENABLED` as a guard, and leave these in-place.
The other side effect of this is that with e54ded49c4, most Zulip
deployments started to 404 requests for `/apps` instead of redirecting
them to `https://zulip.com/apps/` since they no longer had any path
configured for `/apps`. Unfortunately, this URL is in widespread use
in the app (e.g. in links from the Welcome Bot), so we should ensure
that it does successfully redirect.
Add the `/apps` path to `zerver`, but only if not CORPORATE_ENABLED,
so the URLs do not overlap.
