- 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.

When we need to migrate subscriptions from a platform with platform
fees, we need to recreate the subscriptions. That can cause the same
subscription to be attached multiple times to the same member in Ghost.
This is a problem because all MRR, subscriptions and cancellations stats
are no longer correct. Ghost will add a MRR event for the duplicated
subscription from the start time, so there is a sudden peak in MRR and a
dip after the migration because all those duplicate subscriptions are
suddenly cancelled 'today'.
The migrator tool adds a ghost_migrated_to metadata field to the old
subscription. Ghost can use this to detect the old subscription and
delete the subscription and corresponding events.

- added request queueing middleware (express-queue) to handle high
request volume
- added new config option `optimization.requestQueue`
- added new config option `optimization.requestConcurrency`
- added logging of request queue depth - `req.queueDepth`
We've done a fair amount of investigation around improving Ghost's
resiliency to high request volume. While we believe this to be partly
due to database connection contention, it also seems Ghost gets
overwhelmed by the requests themselves. Implementing a simple queueing
system allows us a simple lever to change the volume of requests Ghost
is actually ingesting at any given time and gives us options besides
simply increasing database connection pool size.

- this version is written in TS, but was published a few months ago and
needs to be bumped here
- also updates a previous deep include into the library, which was
unnecessary anyway
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.

Updated @tryghost/nql to 0.12.0 and other packages that depend on it
1. SQLite: when a filter string contains /.
When we use a NQL contain/starts/endsWith filter that contains a slash,
underlyingly the whole filter will get converted to a MongoDB query, in
which we just use a regexp to represent the filter. In here we will
escape the slash: \/ as expected in a regexp. Later when we convert this
MongoDB query back to knex/SQL, we use a SQL LIKE query. Currently we
don't remove the escaping here for a normal slash. MySQL seems to ignore
this (kinda incorrect). SQLite doesn't like it, and this breaks queries
on SQLite that use slashes. The solution here is simple: remove the
backslash escaping when converting the regexp to LIKE, just like we do
with other special regexp characters.
2. We don't escape % and _, which have a special meaning in LIKE queries
Usage of % and _ is now as expected and doesn't have the special SQL
meaning anymore.

- Adds the transient_id column to the members table. This defaults to
email, to keep it backwards compatible (not logging out all existing
sessions)
- Instead of using the email in the cookies, we now use the transient_id
- Updating the transient_id means invalidating all sessions of a member
- Adds an endpoint to the admin api to log out a member from all devices
- Added the `all` body property to the DELETE session endpoint in the
members API. Setting it to true will sign a member out from all devices.
- Adds a UI button in Admin to sign a member out from all devices
- Portal 'sign out of all devices' will not be added for now
Related changes (added because these areas were affected by the code
changes):
- Adds a serializer to member events / activity feed endpoints - all
member fields were returned here, so the transient_id would also be
returned - which is not needed and bloats the API response size
(`transient_id` is not a secret because the cookies are signed)
- Removed `loadMemberSession` from public settings browse (not used
anymore + bad pattern)
Performance tests on site with 50.000 members (on Macbook M1 Pro):
- Migrate: 6s (adding column 4s, setting to email is 1s, dropping
nullable: 1s)
- Rollback: 2s

- Updates filters behind a new alpha feature flag so you can also filter
on members who have email disabled (because the email had a permanent
bounce, they reported spam or the email address is invalid)
- When returning members, we now also use the email_disabled flag to set
email_suppression.suppressed correctly (in case they are out of sync,
which should normally never happen).
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/4046
- when editing the member's email in Admin, the email_disabled field was
not recalculated, making it inconsistent with the suppression list
- now, if the new email is part of the suppression list, we set
email_disabled to true. Otherwise set it to false

When a member had a comped subscription, the portal was showing an
incorrect expiry date. This was because the `expiry_date` was being set
to the `created_at` date of the subscription, rather than the
`expiry_date` of the comped subscription
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/3752
- Added some extra tests for edge cases
- Updated handling of multiple subscriptions so they are handled better
- Canceling a subscription when the member still has other subscriptions will now get handled correctly where the status and products of the member stay intact

- when importing paid members with a coupon in Stripe, we currently
search for the corresponding offer in our database and attach it to the
subscription if found. However, if an offer doesn't exist in the
database, we do not create one and don't attach any offer to the
subscription
- with this change, we now support the creation of a new offer, based on
a Stripe coupon, if it didn't exist already
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/3593
- when importing members via CSV, it's now possible to add the value "auto" for the "stripe_customer_id" field. When this option is passed, the importer will search for a Stripe customer based on the email address provided
- if there are multiple Stripe customers with the same email address, the customer with the most recent subscription is returned

We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default.
This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results:
- Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see aa58b354a4
- Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused
- Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](c1a468744b) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505).
- A typo see eaac9c293a
Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.
This prepares us to return a DTO rather than BookshelfModel to the serialiser
layer. When passing a BookshelfModel, the serialisation layer uses the model to
read from when building computed properties. By stripping values out in the
toJSON method it means that the DTO will be missing them and the computed
properties won't be able to be calculated. Instead we return ALL values to the
serialisation layer, and then strip out the ones that weren't requested in the
"clean" step.
This also inadvertently fixes the issue with `reading_time` requiring the
`html` field to be requested, we can now request just `reading_time`, as well
as have it included by default.

- some of our older packages used a pattern for linting which missed using test config for linting tests
- we need this to be consistent so that we can add more eslint rules for testing
- two packages also didn't use the lib pattern, which made the lint pattern error - so this was fixed as well
As discussed with the product team we want to enforce kebab-case file names for
all files, with the exception of files which export a single class, in which
case they should be PascalCase and reflect the class which they export.
This will help find classes faster, and should push better naming for them too.
Some files and packages have been excluded from this linting, specifically when
a library or framework depends on the naming of a file for the functionality
e.g. Ember, knex-migrator, adapter-manager

This commit removes the `memberAttribution` feature flag from the
codebase. Some CSS classes are not removed as removing them and updating
the associated CSS files have side effects sadly.

This pull request removes the `suppressionList` feature flag and all its
dependencies from the codebase. It makes the suppression list feature
the default and consistent behavior for all email events and
newsletters. It simplifies the UI, logic, and data related to email
events and newsletters. It affects several files in the
`ghost/admin/app`, `ghost/core/core`, and `ghost/members-api`
directories.
