- The tests for content gating started to fail with introduction of the index on `published_at` data in for `posts` table. The reason for the failure was identical `published_at` date set during the fixture insertion, making the returned results change order non-deterministically. The problem is mostly in how the test is set up as it's quite unrealistic to have multiple posts in the system inserted at the same time down to millisecond. Maybe... by some coincidence, but thats not a problem we should care too much about imo.

Because our filtering layer is so coupled to the DB and we don't generally
apply restrictions, it was possible to fetch authors and filter by their
password or email field. Coupled with the "starts with" operator this can be
used to brute force the first character of these fields by trying random
combinations until an author is included in the filter. After which the next
character can be brute forced, and so on until the data has been leaked
completely.
no issue
There are a couple of issues with resetting the Ghost instance between
E2E test files:
These issues came to the surface because of new tests written in
https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/16117
**1. configUtils.restore does not work correctly**
`config.reset()` is a callback based method. On top of that, it doesn't
really work reliably (https://github.com/indexzero/nconf/issues/93)
What kinda happens, is that you first call `config.reset` but
immediately after you correcty reset the config using the `config.set`
calls afterwards. But since `config.reset` is async, that reset will
happen after all those sets, and the end result is that it isn't reset
correctly.
This mainly caused issues in the new updated images tests, which were
updating the config `imageOptimization.contentImageSizes`, which is a
deeply nested config value. Maybe some references to objects are reused
in nconf that cause this issue?
Wrapping `config.reset()` in a promise does fix the issue.
**2. Adapters cache not reset between tests**
At the start of each test, we set `paths:contentPath` to a nice new
temporary directory. But if a previous test already requests a
localStorage adapter, that adapter would have been created and in the
constructor `paths:contentPath` would have been passed. That same
instance will be reused in the next test run. So it won't read the new
config again. To fix this, we need to reset the adapter instances
between E2E tests.
How was this visible? Test uploads were stored in the actual git
repository, and not in a temporary directory. When writing the new image
upload tests, this also resulted in unreliable test runs because some
image names were already taken (from previous test runs).
**3. Old 2E2 test Ghost server not stopped**
Sometimes we still need access to the frontend test server using
`getAgentsWithFrontend`. But that does start a new Ghost server which is
actually listening for HTTP traffic. This could result in a fatal error
in tests because the port is already in use. The issue is that old E2E
tests also start a HTTP server, but they don't stop the server. When you
used the old `startGhost` util, it would check if a server was already
running and stop it first. The new `getAgentsWithFrontend` now also has
the same functionality to fix that issue.

- The versioned API responses vary based on requested version (passed in request's 'accept-version' header). shared caches that sit between Ghost's origin server and the browser would be putting responses with same Vary into the same caching bucket, which is incorrect.
- This change makes response's Vary more granular and tells caching mechanisms to take 'Accept-Version' request header into account when caching.

- Private cache control was preventing browser or shared caches from storing Content APIs response. The type of data served through the Content API is very much of a "public" nature, so should be cacheable.
- Right now the 'max-age' value of 'cache-control' header is hardcoded to '0', without 'must-revalidate' value, to allow browsers to cache content slightly more aggressively. In the future the 'max-age' value will most-likely become configurable to allow even more aggressive HTTP caching.
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/410
- The 'private' value in 'Cache-Control' response header for all errors made it impossible for shared caches (e.g.: Fastly, Cloudflare) to cache 404 responses efficiently.
- The change substitutes 'max-age=0' which should not effect the browser cache behavior but would allow shared caches to process such requests efficiently.
- A more loose caching logic only applies to 404 responses from GET requests that are not user-specific (non-authenticated, non-cookie containing requests)
- This fixture is the main user fixture you'd want to use when testing staff roles
- At the moment it has a weird name that makes it less likely people will use it
- A tiny step in trying to make our fixture system make a tiny bit more sense

This property can be used by theme developers to determine if comments
are available for the currently logged in member. It follows the same
logic as used internally in the comments helper, so that they can be
used interchangeably

- this commit turns the Ghost repo into a monorepo so we can bring our
internal packages back in, which makes life easier when working on
Ghost
