This better presents the CSS organization for readers, and also
removes a stale reference and link to Bootstrap.
Because postcss-nesting's spec-aligned syntax has tripped up some
contributors, the mention of PostCSS now includes a link to the
postcss-nesting README and the CSS Nesting spec from the W3C, which
PostCSS Nesting attempts to adhere to.
This commit represents an in-place reordering of the document. No
headings or content has been changed (that will happen in subsequent
commits).
The goal is to open the document with generic advice and guidance
applicable to all Zulip developers across all languages:
1. Consistency, enforced by linters and automated tests, opens the
document.
2. General, largely language-neutral advice about line length,
third-party code, translation, paths, and secrets come next.
3. Next up is language-specific advice and conventions: Python,
followed by JavaScript and TypeScript, followed by HTML and CSS
(although the HTML and CSS will be moved in a subsequent commit
to their own file).
4. Closing the file, rather than opening it, is the section on
Dangerous constructs. Some of these are fairly specialized, so
it makes sense not to ask readers to read through them before
presenting, say, our philosophy on line length.
Finally, in trying to come up with a sensible order for all sections
of this document, the "More arbitrary style things" heading has been
removed.
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.
Django 4.0 and higher began checking the `Origin` header, which made
it important that Zulip know accurately if the request came over HTTPS
or HTTP; failure to do so would result in "CSRF verification failed"
errors.
For Zulip servers which are accessed via proxies, this means that
`X-Fowarded-Proto` must be set accurately. Adjust the documentation
for the suggested configurations to add the header.
Fixes: #24599.

1c76036c61 raised the number of `minfds` in Supervisor from 40k to
1M. If Supervisor cannot guarantee that number of available file
descriptors, it will fail to start; `/etc/security/limits.conf` was
hence adjusted upwards as well. However, on some virtualized
environments, including Proxmox LXC, setting
`/etc/security/limits.conf` may not be enough to raise the
system-level limits. This causes `supervisord` with the larger
`minfds` to fail to start.
The limit of 1000000 was chosen to be arbitrarily high, assuming it
came without cost; it is not expected to ever be reached on any
deployment. 262b19346e already lowered one aspect of that
changeset, upon determining it did come with a cost. Potentially
breaking virtualized deployments during upgrade is another cost of
that change.
Lower the `minfds` it back down to 40k, partially reverting
1c76036c61, but allow adjusting it upwards for extremely large
deployments. We do not expect any except the largest deployments to
ever hit the 40k limit, and a frictionless deployment for the
vanishingly small number of huge deployments is not worth the
potential upgrade hiccups for the much more frequent smaller
deployments.
Instead of copying over a mostly-unchanged `postgresql.conf`, we
transition to deploying a `conf.d/zulip.conf` which contains the
only material changes we made to the file, which were previously
appended to the end.
While shipping separate while `postgresql.conf` files for each
supported version is useful if there is large variety in supported
options between versions, there is not no such variation at current,
and the burden of overriding the entire default configuration is that
it must be keep up to date wit the package's version.
