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

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.

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.
This commit updates the recommended commit summary length

This should help miscueing users into thinking that the provisioning

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.
Taking backups on the database primary adds additional disk load,
which can impact the performance of the application.
Switch to taking backups on replicas, if they exist. Some deployments
may have multiple replicas, and taking backups on all of them is
wasteful and potentially confusing; add a flag to inhibit taking
nightly snapshots on the host.
If the deployment is a single instance of PostgreSQL, with no
replicas, it takes backups as before, modulo the extra flag to allow
skipping taking them.

This removes the production reporting to `/json/report/error` upon
`blueslip.error`, and replaces it with reporting to Sentry, if
enabled. Sentry provides better reporting and grouping for exceptions
than the email- and `#errors`-reporting provided by the
`/json/report/error` endpoint.
The development behaviour of rendering `blueslip.error` messages and
stacktraces immediately, and stopping execution, is preserved.
To better chain exception information, the whole previous exception is
passed to `blueslip.error`, not just the stack, and the second
parameter is formalized to be an object to map to Sentry's "context"
concept.
We currently use the GitHub logo to show the bots settings in both
personal and organization settings. This icon is not a correct
representation since we use have support for several different bots
including but not limited to a GitHub integration bot.
This commit replaces the GitHub logo with Smart Toy material icon
from Google, while also adding the required licencing details at
docs/THIRDPARTY.
Part of #19797.
Since logrotate runs in a daily cron, this practically means "daily,
but only if it's larger than 500M." For large installs with large
traffic, this is effectively daily for 10 days; for small installs, it
is an unknown amount of time.
Switch to daily logfiles, defaulting to 14 days to match nginx; this
can be overridden using a zulip.conf setting. This makes it easier to
ensure that access logs are only kept for a bounded period of time.
Previously, we had an architecture where CSS inlining for emails was
done at provision time in inline_email_css.py. This was necessary
because the library we were using for this, Premailer, was extremely
slow, and doing the inlining for every outgoing email would have been
prohibitively expensive.
Now that we've migrated to a more modern library that inlines the
small amount of CSS we have into emails nearly instantly, we are able
to remove the complex architecture built to work around Premailer
being slow and just do the CSS inlining as the final step in sending
each individual email.
This has several significant benefits:
* Removes a fiddly provisioning step that made the edit/refresh cycle
for modifying email templates confusing; there's no longer a CSS
inlining step that, if you forget to do it, results in your testing a
stale variant of the email templates.
* Fixes internationalization problems related to translators working
with pre-CSS-inlined emails, and then Django trying to apply the
translators to the post-CSS-inlined version.
* Makes the send_custom_email pipeline simpler and easier to improve.

Increasing worker_connections has a memory cost, unlike the rest of
the changes in 1c76036c61d8; setting it to 1 million caused nginx to
consume several GB of memory.
Reduce the default down to 10k, and allow deploys to configure it up
if necessary. `worker_rlimit_nofile` is left at 1M, since it has no

Zulip Server 4.0 is now 22 months old, which is more than 18 months.
Per the general policy in the "Client apps" section below, that

we can update this further to say 5.0.

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.

Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

These hooks are run immediately around the critical section of the
upgrade. If the upgrade fails for preparatory reasons, the pre-deploy
hook may not be run; if it fails during the upgrade, the post-deploy
hook will not be run. Hooks are called from the CWD of the new
deploy, with arguments of the old version and the new version. If
they exit with non-0 exit code, the deploy aborts.

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.
For descriptive endpoints, such as `/register`, that might raise
Schema Validation errors via `validate_against_openapi_schema`,
omits the OpenAPI schema definition in the error output.
Also omits the error instance definition in the error output
when it is a jsonschema object with over 100 properties. This
means that the test instance for objects, like user settings,
will be printed in the error output, but the test instance for
the entire endpoint will not be printed to the console.
The omitted output can be thousands of lines long making it
difficult to find the initial console output that actually helps
the contributor with debugging.
Adds a section in "Documenting REST API endpoints" about
debugging and understanding these errors that is linked to
in the error console output.
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 authenticate_by_username limit of 5 attempts per 30 minutes can get
annoying in some cases where the user really forgot their password and
should be allowed to keep trying with admin approvial - so we should
document the command that allows unblocking them.
Changes all the uses of the word "operators" to "filters" in
contributor docs, help center, and landing page to align with

While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
Since this is being moved to admin-facing documentation, also adds a
paragraph about the main concern with enabling this on a server that's
not zulip.com.

This module was originally introduced in 2016 to assist adding mypy

This workflow is no longer helpful for improving type annotations right
now, and it has been unused for a while.

This is not a feature intended to be used outside zulip.com, since it
just sets your server to have the zulip.com landing pages. I think
it's only been turned on by people who were confused by this text.
We'll be merging a lot more features for the 6.0 release, but this
should cover everything merged since 5.0 and not backported to 5.x
and thus already released.
distutils is deprecated in Python 3.10 and will be removed in Python
3.12. We don’t need a full-powered version parser for this anyway.

Adds a section for writing and style guidlines to the tutorial
for writing help center articles. Moves the sections on 'Voice'
and 'User interface' to be in the new section, and adds a section
on 'Keyboard shortcuts'.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).
ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].
nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`. The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.
Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.
uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out." Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.
