This adds custom fonts feature allowing users to select heading and body fonts for their themes from a curated list. This allows publishers to have more control over their brand, and allows themes to have a wider range of styles to appeal to different audiences.
Without custom fonts support, themes will continue to work as normal, but users won't be able to customize their typography. As for the official themes, all of them will support custom fonts.

- Behind flags
- Changed Comments API for members and guests to not return hidden or
removed comments - with the only exception being if a hidden or removed
comment have published replies, in which case it will be greyed out as
per the previous version on the UI.
- Wired up a new admin API endpoint for comment to receive all comments.
It's on par with the members / guests endpoint, with the difference
being that it it shows hidden comment's content, where previously the
html property was nullified.
ref https://ghost.org/changelog/internationalization/
- I've changed "email" to "e-mail", which is more correct in French. The
official term is "courriel" but it sounds a bit old-fashioned.
- Apart from that, I've made a few harmonisations and small corrections to
ensure consistency between the files.

https://linear.app/ghost/issue/ENG-1592/start-monitoring-connection-pool-utilization-in-ghost
- This commit adds prometheus metrics to the connection pool so we can
start to track connection pool utilization, number of pending acquires,
and also adds some basic SQL query summary metrics like queries per
minute and query duration percentiles.
- The connection pool has now been theorized to be a main constraint of
Ghost for some time, but it's been challenging to get actual visibility
into the state of the connection pool. With this change, we should be
able to directly observe, monitor and alert on the connection pool.
- Updated grafana version to fix a bug in the query editor that was
fixed in 8.3, even though this is a couple versions ahead of production
ref https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/21573
- We discussed this, and figured we should get this behind the flag for
now, even though it's pulled
- This gives us the ability to do a fast revert if we have to later,
which is the point of having the labs "GA FEATURES" array
- Note this removes the labsEnabled variable in the tests to make it
clearer if the flag is off or on (it was off!)

for the docker setup, but it has since caused some issues with the `yarn
dev` script.
- In particular, it was causing a restart while migrations were running
in development, which left a migration lock on and prevented Ghost from
starting.
- This commit removes nodemon and replaces it with node --watch, which
we had been using in the past without issues.
ref https://ghost.org/changelog/internationalization/
- It's difficult out of context to know whether to use an infinitive,
_Ajouter votre commentaire_ or an imperative, _Ajoutez votre
commentaire_. English doesn't make the difference, but French does. By
default, an infinitive is preferable because it remains a suggestion,
whereas an imperative gives an order. For example, I think that _Ajoutez
votre commentaire_ is not relevant, because you don't necessarily have
to add a comment, but you can, so you should say _Ajouter votre
commentaire_. I've tried to be as precise as possible, but you may need
to make some adjustments with the context.
- I find that the word _membre_ is too literal a translation of the
English language and includes too many innuendos such as "member of a
community", "member of a clan", "member of a club", and frankly, it's
not relevant to many blogs. The word _abonné_ is more relevant, because
it doesn't imply a social affiliation. As for the discussion, I've even
taken the liberty of writing _discussion entre lecteurs_, because that's
essentially what it is. It's not a discussion between members or
subscribers, it's a discussion between _readers_.
- Some placeholders are completely American (Jamie Larson), so I've
replaced him with a French one (Jean Martin).
- Complimentary is a word that I didn't understand in the context of
Ghost. I have the impression that it means _offert_, but I don't
understand when it's used.
refs https://linear.app/ghost/issue/AP-500
We've got a new @tryghost/activitypub package, which is gonna handle all
of the wiring between Ghost and ActivityPub. Currently that is just the
configuration of webhooks for the internal ActivityPub integration.
All this logic is run on the boot of Ghost, though notably in a
non-blocking manner, it's initialised as part of the background services
so it should not have an effect on the time to serving requests. having
said that - it needs to be defensive against errors, which is why the
entire network request is in a try/catch, as well as lookups for the
integration able to handle missing data.
Unit tests use an in-memory sqlite instance, which means we're testing a
full flow, ideally there would be a way to get the schema from Ghost for
this, but for now this is acceptable IMO.
refs https://linear.app/ghost/issue/AP-500
Rather than having to manually create an integration for communication
with the ActivityPub service, we are going to have an internal
integration which will then be used to handle webhooks between Ghost &
ActivityPub
The 'internal' type has been used to keep it out of the UI/API but
available for all Pro customers, which is necessary during the private
beta.

- adds `in_reply_to_id` to API output
- adds `in_reply_to_snippet` to API output
- dynamically generated from the HTML of the replied-to comment
- excluded if the replied-to comment has been deleted or hidden
- adds `commentSnippet` to `@tryghost/html-to-plaintext`
- skips anchor tag URLs as they won't be useful for snippet purposes
- skips blockquotes so the snippet is more likely to contain the unique content of the replied-to comment when it's quoting a previous comment
- returns a single line (no newline chars)
- allows setting `in_reply_to_id` when creating comments
- id must reference a reply with the same parent
- id must reference a published comment
- adds email notification for the original reply author when their comment is replied to
ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/PLG-230
- `comments.in_reply_to_id` will be used to keep a reference to the comment that the new comment was directed at
- used only for replies-to-replies, will be `null` for the top-level parent and `null` for any replies directly to that parent
- technically allows for infinite nesting within a parent comment thread but we won't be using that ability for now
- `comments.parent_id` will be kept as it provides a useful optimisation for loading the top-level comments list
- we're not using `comments.parent_id` for this to keep complexity down and avoid the need for recursive lookups
refs https://linear.app/ghost/issue/AP-500
The logic for generating identity tokens, whilst small, is something
that we don't want to duplicate - as it concerns security & access - so
can easily break interactions between different services. We're gonna
need to use identity tokens as part of the initialisation of the
activitypub service, so this is pulling it out preemptively for that use
case
We shouldn't have logic inside of the endpoint controllers anyway, so
this is kinda general cleanup.

- Trying to get Ghost working with the prometheus pushgateway in

commit improves the error messages to make it easier to debug.

ref
https://linear.app/ghost/issue/ENG-1746/enable-ghost-to-push-metrics-to-a-pushgateway
- We'd like to use prometheus to expose metrics from Ghost, but the
"standard" approach of having prometheus scrape the `/metrics` endpoint
adds some complexity and additional challenges on Pro.
- A suggested simpler alternative is to use a pushgateway, to have Ghost
_push_ metrics to prometheus, rather than have prometheus scrape the
running instances.
- This PR introduces this functionality behind a configuration.
- It also includes a refactor to the current metrics-server
implementation so all the related code for prometheus is colocated, and
the configuration is a bit more organized. `@tryghost/metrics-server`
has been renamed to `@tryghost/prometheus-metrics`, and it now includes
the metrics server and prometheus-client code itself (including the
pushgateway code)
- To enable the prometheus client alone, `prometheus:enabled` must be
true. This will _not_ enable the metrics server or the pushgateway — it
will essentially collect the metrics, but not do anything with them.
- To enable the metrics server, set `prometheus:metrics_server:enabled`
to true. You can also configure the host and port that the metrics
server should export the `/metrics` endpoint on in the
`prometheus:metrics_server` block.
- To enable the pushgateway, set `prometheus:pushgateway:enabled` to
true. You can also configure the pushgateway's `url`, the `interval` it
should push metrics in (in milliseconds) and the `jobName` in the
`prometheus:pushgateway` block.
- using lodash to do this is unnecessarily heavy, so this commit
switches the code to the equivalent native version
- as mentioned in the comment I added, I think we can further optimize
this by storing it as a Set and then calling `Array.from` once, but
that's a step too far for now
- we can skip an extra `toJSON` call here by storing the value and
re-using it, which means we can cut down on the number of calls, which
can be particularly heavy when this codepath is hit hard

SQLite has limit of 500 items in a compound select statement.

Lowering the batch size will have minimal impact on migration

One of these bulk inserts is confirmed to be affected through the linked

I didn't confirm if the other two cases would trigger it, but the change
won't hurt there either.
ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-1556/
- added background job queue behind config flags
- when enabled, is only used for the member email analytics updates in
order to speed up the parent job, and take load off of the main process
that is serving requests
The intent here is to decouple certain code paths from the main process where it is unnecessary, or worse, where it's part of the request. Primary use cases are email analytics (particularly the member stats [open rate]) which are not particularly helpful in the period immediately following an email send, while the click traffic and delivered/opened events are.
Related, the email link clicks themselves send off a cascade of events that are quite a burden on the main process currently and are somewhat tied to the request response when they needn't be. We'll be looking to tackle that after some initial testing with the email analytics job.
ref PLG-220
- Added an `orderAttributes` override method to be able to pass
`count__likes` to the `findPage` DB helper.
- Unknowingly, without that override method in the model, it would strip
all 'non-default' queries.
- Adding that means we could remove our custom database queries and use
the regular `findPage` helper that also handles pagination.
no issue
This change adds the ability to pass a desired language/locale into
portal, as a data-locale tag added to the script that loads it.
Falls back to the previous behavior, loading from the site settings, if
no data-locale is present. (And then to 'en', if necessary.) No change
in expected behavior if data-locale is not passed.
This provides an option to run portal in a language other than the
sitewide language.

{{ghost_head}} is huge, and some power-users and theme creators want the
ability to customize what it contains. This PR makes it easier for a
theme to write custom schema, or to load a custom version of
portal/comments/search/etc, or to minimize load times by not loading
scripts where they aren't needed, in a theme-specific way.
Because ghost_head is controlled at the theme level, this gives folks in
managed hosting the new ability to load a different version of the
included app scripts (by preventing ghost_head from writing them and
adding them in manually).
Usage example: ` {{ghost_head exclude="search,portal"}} `
(empty array)
No changes to current behavior
search
The built-in sodo-search script
Includes adding the click event listener on buttons, generating the

This PR adds the ability to translate the strings that appear in the
newsletter as boilerplate text, using i18next.
Variables are in single mustaches ( `{date}` ) in the translation
strings (rather than `{{date}}`), because these strings occur both the
email template.hbs and also .js files. That necessitated a separate
namespace.
This PR also includes changes to the newsletter button ("more like
this", "less like this", "comment") that were previously delivered on
desktop as images that included the text. @sanne-san provided a rework
that removed text-as-image from the desktop buttons, and allows more
shared code between the two layouts, along with making the buttons
translatable.
Example usage - handlebars
```
<h3 class="latest-posts-header">{{t 'Keep reading'}}</h3>
{{{t 'By {authors}' authors=post.authors }}}
```
(NOTE: triple { required because of possible & )
Example usage - javascript
```
getValue: (member) => {
if (member.status === 'comped') {
return t('complimentary');
}
if (this.isMemberTrialing(member)) {
return t('trialing');
}
// other possible statuses: t('free'), t('paid') //

fix https://linear.app/ghost/issue/ENG-1105/settingscacheget-is-slow
- through profiling and flamegraphs, we can see that `_doGet` is one of
the bottlenecks during high traffic times, sometimes taking up to 20%
of the CPU time when hammering Ghost with `wrk`
- this is because, for the majority of settings cache lookup, we're
running `JSON.parse`, which blocks the main thread
- whilst we're only parsing small strings, we're doing it a LOT,
sometimes hundreds of times per request, which adds up
- this code just throws most deserializing at `JSON.parse`, so if we can
stop it from doing that, it'd be a huge win
- my initial attempts here were to convert the _doGet function to a
smarter deserializing, by looking up `cacheEntry.type` and acting
accordingly
- however, it became a bit of a logical nightmare, and difficult to
reason about for now (i still think we should do it)
- therefore, I'm just doing to add a hotpath fix to catch 99% of
usecases, which is checking the type of the cache entry and returning
the value if it's a string
- on a trivial benchmark locally, this causes Ghost to return 30% more
requests per second!!
ref PLG-220
- Improved `getBestComments` service to paginate correctly since we're
using a custom query to determine the top comments that goes beyond the
scope of what `findPage` is capable of.
- Updated CommentsController and CommentsService to support custom order
parameters.
- Added tests
no issue
- filtering was previously added to breadcrumbs but that wasn't enough to clean up Sentry reports
- added filtering to the `beforeSend` hook too so reports don't get cluttered with unhelpful XHR noise
ref https://app.incident.io/ghost/incidents/117
- the authenticate call made as part of signup was missed as part of the update when we adjusted the params for `cookie` authenticator's `authenticate` method in Admin so it could switch behaviour for 2fa
- fixed the authenticate call params and updated our mocked `/session` endpoint to check for expected POST data which would have let tests catch this error
closes https://linear.app/ghost/issue/ENG-1658
- switched to using a task to match patterns elsewhere and have better cancellation behaviour if code is re-used in a short-lived component
- added `drop: true` task modifier to our main tasks so they can't be triggered again whilst we're waiting on an API request
- removed confusing countdown in button text
- restored forced "text" data type for resend API request to match API behavior
- added acceptance tests for resend behaviour
This adds a `content_api_url` helper, returning the url for Ghost's
Content API. By default it will return an absolute URL but can be
passed `absolute=false` if a relative URL is wanted.
This works in tandem with the `content_api_key` helper to
facilitate third party integrations with the Content API, for
example - custom Portal or Search implementations.
no issue
- Fixed a flaky [publishing
test](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/actions/runs/11509561903/job/32039943951)
that was suffering from a race condition. It was trying to copy the
bookmark link shown on the publishing complete modal, but it was
sometimes already closed by that point.
- It seemed to pass consistently locally, but in CI it would frequently
fail. This commit should wait to copy the link before closing the modal.
no issue
- Browser tests in CI were yielding a passing result even if one or more
tests failed (including retries).
- The `yarn dev` command that triggers the browser tests in CI was
catching any errors and exiting with code 0, resulting in a ✅ in CI.
- This commit changes `yarn dev` to exit with code 1 if the browser
tests fail, so that CI will correctly fail if any of the browser tests
fail.
no issue
- Dev Containers let you work on Ghost in a consistent, isolated
environment with all the necessary development dependencies
pre-installed. VSCode (or Cursor) can effectively run _inside_ the
container, providing a local quality development environment while
working in a well-defined, isolated environment.
- For now the default setup only works with "Clone repository in
Container Volume" or "Clone PR in Container Volume" — this allows for a
super quick and simple setup. We can also introduce another
configuration to allow opening an existing local checkout in a Dev
Container, but that's not quite ready yet.
- This PR also added the `yarn clean:hard` command which: deletes all
node_modules, cleans the yarn cache, and cleans the NX cache. This will
be necessary for opening a local checkout in a Dev Container.
- To learn more about Dev Containers, read this guide from VSCode:
