ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/KTLO-1/members-spam-signups
- Some customers are seeing many spammy signups ("hundreds a day") — our
hypothesis is that bots and/or email link checkers are able to signup by
simply following the link in the email without even loading the page in
a browser.
- Currently new members signup by clicking a magic link in an email,
which is a simple GET request. When the user (or a bot) clicks that link, Ghost
creates the member and signs them in for the first time.
- This change, behind an alpha flag, requires a new member to click the
link in the email, which takes them to a new frontend route `/confirm_signup/`, then submit a form on the page which sends a POST request to the
server. If JavaScript is enabled, the form will be submitted
automatically so the only change to the user is an extra flash/redirect
before being signed in and redirected to the homepage.
- This change is behind the alpha flag `membersSpamPrevention` so we can
test it out on a few customer's sites and see if it helps reduce the
spam signups. With the flag off, the signup flow remains the same as
before.
ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-790/remove-use-of-sub-queries-in-email-analytics
- the `delivered_at` column is typically entirely/nearly entirely filled with values meaning the `IS NOT NULL` query matches a huge number of rows that MySQL has to fetch from the index to count
- using `IS NULL` switches that behaviour around as it will now match very few rows which has been shown in testing to be considerably quicker
- after switching to `IS NULL` the query returns an "undelivered" count rather than a "delivered" count, in order to keep the rest of the system behaviour the same we can calculate the delivered count by subtracting the query result from the total number of emails sent which we can fetch using a very fast primary key lookup query on the `emails` table
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-750
- when adding a recommendation, we fetch the recommended site's metadata
- before this change, if the metadata fetch failed for some reason, we'd show an error and block the recommendation from being added
- after this change, we use fallback values if the metadata fails to fetch, instead of blocking the recommendation from being added. We use the site domain as the title and leave the rest empty (no favicon, no description)
- this change also means we are not checking whether a site exists or not for the publisher anymore. It’s then up to the publisher to make sure they don’t enter broken URLs

In the context of referrals, we want to understand how useful our
“Powered by Ghost” badges are.
There are currently a few places where the “Powered by Ghost” badge can
be rendered:
- in newsletters (enabled/disabled by publisher, on a newsletter basis)
- in Portal popups, e.g. member signup/signin/account settings
- in the footer of some themes, including Source & Casper
We're adding the query param ?via to evaluate the usage of the badge in
newsletters.

refs 4aad551c72
- upon further discussion, we've decided it's better to throw an error
in this case because the uploaded image is deemed invalid and storing
it on the filesystem might cause more issues with resizing/further
processing in the future
- this commit implements that and alters the tests
fixes ENG-740
fixes https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-740/http-500-error-when-image-processing-fails
- in the event the image transform library throws (which can happen for
many reasons; sharp/libvips can come across a number of errors), we
currently return this as a HTTP 500 error to the user
- in this case, we should just try-catch the call and jump to the
non-processing flow where it just saves the original image
- also added breaking test
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/4237
- this fixes the fact that we return a HTTP 500 response when the oembed
library receives an error, such as a 401 or 403
- includes special handling for cases where we want to return a slightly
different error message
- also adds unit tests for @tryghost/oembed-service package

ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-733/handle-image-uploads-where-name-is-too-long
- filesystems usually have a filename length limit; ie. on macOS it is
255 characters
- if a file is uploaded with a longer filename, we'll return a HTTP 500
- we shouldn't do this as it is user error, so we can just catch the
error code and return BadRequest
- this implements that, and adds a breaking test

- The tiers-only paywall was incorrectly rendering "Free". Example:
"This post is for subscribers of the Free, Silver and Gold tiers only"
- Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Create a post with public visibility, publish it
2. Then swap the visibility to specific tiers. The default selects all
paid tiers. Leave it like that
3. Update the post. The paywall show Free, even though it should be
showing only the paid tiers
- This fix filters out the "free" tier when visibility is set to tiers,
before updating a Post or a Page. The fix includes bulk updates from the
list of Posts and Pages (right-click on a Post/Page > Change Access).

We were using `cheerio` to parse+modify+serialize our rendered HTML to modify links for member attribution. Cheerio's serializer has a [long-standing issue](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/issues/720) (that we've [had to deal with before](https://github.com/TryGhost/SDK/issues/124)) where it replaces single-quote attributes with double-quote attributes. That was resulting in broken rendering when content used single-quotes such as in HTML cards that have JSON data inside a `data-` attribute or otherwise used single-quotes to avoid escaping double-quotes in an attribute value.
- swapped the implementation that uses `cheerio` for one that uses `html5parser` to tokenize the html string, from there we can loop over the tokens and replace the href attribute values in the original string without touching any other part of the content. Avoids a full parse+serialize process which is both more costly and can result unexpected content changes due to serializer opinions.
- fixes the quote change bug
- uses tokenization directly to avoid cost of building a full AST
- updated Content API Posts snapshot
- one of our fixtures has a missing closing tag which we're no longer "fixing" with a full parse+serialize step in the link replacer (keeps modified src closer to original and better matches behaviour elsewhere in the app / without member-attribution applied)
- the link replacer no longer converts `attr=""` to `attr` (these are equivalent in the HTML spec so no change in behaviour other than preserving the original source html)
- added a benchmark test file comparing the two implementations because the link replacer runs on render so it's used in a hot path
- new implementation has a 3x performance improvement
- the separate files with the old/new implementations have been cleaned up but I've left the benchmark test file in place for future reference

refs. https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/DES-122/bookmark-card-issues
This PR addresses the following content card related problems:
1. The design of the following cards are more self-contained so it makes
more sense to use `px` for their font-sizes and spacings so it looks the
same regardless of the theme. Of course themes still can override these
values.
Updated cards to use `px` for font sizing:
- audio
- bookmark
- file
- product
2. So far header and signup cards had been using `rem` for font-sizes
and some sizing. This commit updates these to use `em` instead so that
it's consistent with all other cards.
3. The favicon sometimes is not available for bookmark cards. This PR also
fixes that by providing a default favicon for these cases.

There's no need to provide an `order` param with every request in Comments-UI if the API has default ordering that matches our requirements. The order param makes logs more noisy/harder to read than they need to be so we want to get rid of it.
- modified comments API input serializer to add a default order param to the browse and replies endpoints when none is provided
- removed order param from the requests that Comments-UI makes
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-676/
We want to make sure that we're not serving stale liked counts for
comments, which means we need to cache bust when they're liked/unliked
Unfortuantely this means we need to fetch the comment from the db so
that we have access to the post id.
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-676/
This is the meat of the change and actually causes the cache to be
invalidated on adds and edits to the comments endpoints.
It doesn't currently include the liked/unliked actions at the moment
as we don't have easy access to the post id from those endpoints.
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-676/
This is pretty simple as we can reuse the existing browse method
on the CommentsController, but we need to add support for the post_id
option to the endpoint, for it to be added to the frame.
We also need to update the browse method to enforce the post_id on the
NQL filter. I initially tried this with string concatenation, but ran
into way too many bugs, so we're using a mongo transformer instead.

- the Admin API `GET /slugs/{type}/{slug}/` endpoint is used by Admin to check when a potential slug needs de-duping by adding a `-{x}` suffix. Most often this occurs when setting a draft post title
- the endpoint was returning a full-site cache invalidation header meaning hosting services could be blowing away their site caches and needlessly hurting performance because this endpoint is purely a read operation and makes no changes to the site

- You can choose any support and newsletter email address in the UI
without verification (as long as your SMTP-server / Mailgun can send
from it)
- All emails will use the mail.from config as the from address as a
default:
- Staff notification emails no longer use the made up ghost@domain email
address
- Newsletters no longer default to 'noreply@domain'
- Member related emails (signin/signup/comment notifications...) will
continue to be send from the chosen support address (Portal settings →
Account page), but will now default to the mail.from config instead of
noreply@domain if no support address is set.
fixes PROD-102
When a newsletter has a sender_email stored in the database that Ghost
is not allowed to send from, we no longer return it as sender_email in
the API. Instead we return it as the sender_reply_to. That way the
expected behaviour is shown correctly in the frontend and the API result
also makes more sense.
In addition to that, when a change is made to a newsletters reply_to
address we'll clear any invalid sender_email values in that newsletter.
That makes sure we can clear the sender_reply_to value instead of
keeping the current fallback to sender_email if that one is stored.
On top of that, this change correclty updates the browse endpoint to use
the newsletter service instead of directly using the model.

- due to historical issues we check against http/https and non-www/www URLs to match an oembed provider in case our library's provider list is out of date. However we checked http first which could match and then update the original URL to be `http` in place of `https` leading to potentially broken oembed fetch requests as was the case with http://odysee.com URLs

This adds a new default plan setting. It defaults to yearly, which is

are changed.

The offers API basically returns the data you pass to it, rather than
the created database record. It looks like this is how it was intended
to work in the first place; the `setMilliseconds` is because the test
helper expects `.000Z`, which I assume is because MySQL will strip off
the milliseconds when it's saved.

When the config `hostSettings:managedEmail:enabled` is enabled, or the
new flag (`newEmailAddresses`) is enabled for self-hosters, we'll start
to check the from addresses of all outgoing emails more strictly.
- Current flow: nothing changes if the managedEmail config is not set or
the `newEmailAddresses` feature flag is not set
- When managedEmail is enabled: never allow to send an email from any
chosen email. We always use `mail.from` for all outgoing emails. Custom
addresses should be set as replyTo instead. Changing the newsletter
sender_email is not allowed anymore (and ignored if it is set).
- When managedEmail is enabled with a custom sending domain: if a from
address doesn't match the sending domain, we'll default to mail.from and
use the original as a replyTo if appropriate and only when no other
replyTo was set. A newsletter sender email addresss can only be set to
an email address on this domain.
- When `newEmailAddresses` is enabled: self hosters are free to set all
email addresses to whatever they want, without verification. In addition
to that, we stop making up our own email addresses and send from
`mail.from` by default instead of generating a `noreply`+ `@` +
`sitedomain.com` address
A more in depth example of all cases can be seen in
`ghost/core/test/integration/services/email-addresses.test.js`
Includes lots of new E2E tests for most new situations. Apart from that,
all email snapshots are changed because the from and replyTo addresses
are now included in snapshots (so we can see unexpected changes in the
future).

This is a revision of a previous commit, that broke the browser tests
because changes in the data generator (requiring bookshelf had side
effects).
This adds a new way to run all tests with enforced numeric ObjectIDs.
These numeric ids cause issues if they are used withing NQL filters. So
they surface tiny bugs in our codebase.
You can run tests using this option via:
NUMERIC_IDS=1 yarn test:e2e
Removed some defensive logic that could be explained by this discovered
issue.
