- Remove JS
- Remove "Loading..." text. This has been been broken for a while due to some conflicting discourse-ai CSS. Also, animating the `content:` property like this requires the browser to repaint/reflow, which cannot be done while JS is executing.
- Replace animated SVG with divs animated via CSS. When JS is executing, browsers pause animations of transform properties inside SVGs. This limitation does not exist on regular CSS animations. So with this change, the animation continues smoothly even you run an infinite loop in JS.
To ensure the splash screen remains "contentful" for LCP purposes, an SVG background-image is used
There is no change to the visual look of the animation
* DEV: unsilence deprecation warnings for old Font Awesome icon names
* update fa-user to user font awesome icon name
* update pencil-alt to pencil font awesome 6 icon name
Primary is a more appropriate color here than "danger". Authorizing is
important, but we usually use "danger" for destructive actions and
nothing is being destroyed here.

"Replies" in non-crawler view makes a request when clicked to get all replies, however this does not make sense in the crawler view where we load everything per post number.
So the solution here is to exclude the reply number so we can avoid having to nest all replies in a post.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.
When a crawler visits a topic that has a deleted author, it would error because the `show.html.erb` view was expecting a user to be always present.
This ensure we don't render the "author" meta data when the author of the topic has been deleted.

This change eliminates a couple of instances where subfolder urls are badly formatted, in most cases we can use Discourse.base_url_no_prefix to prevent adding the subfolder to the base url.
When "unicode_usernames" is enabled, calling the "user_path" helper with a username containing some non ASCII character will break due to the route constraint we have on username.
This fixes the issue by always encoding the username before passing it to the "user_path" helper.

Our 'page_view_crawler' / 'page_view_anon' metrics are based purely on the User Agent sent by clients. This means that 'badly behaved' bots which are imitating real user agents are counted towards 'anon' page views.
This commit introduces a new method of tracking visitors. When an initial HTML request is made, we assume it is a 'non-browser' request (i.e. a bot). Then, once the JS application has booted, we notify the server to count it as a 'browser' request. This reliance on a JavaScript-capable browser matches up more closely to dedicated analytics systems like Google Analytics.
Existing data collection and graphs are unchanged. Data collected via the new technique is available in a new 'experimental' report.
This commit removes the 'experimental_preconnect_link_header' site setting, and the 'preload_link_header' site setting, and introduces two new global settings: early_hint_header_mode and early_hint_header_name.
We don't actually send 103 Early Hint responses from Discourse. However, upstream proxies can be configured to cache a response header from the app and use that to send an Early Hint response to future clients.
- `early_hint_header_mode` specifies the mode for the early hint header. Can be nil (disabled), "preconnect" (lists just CDN domains) or "preload" (lists all assets).
- `early_hint_header_name` specifies which header name to use for the early hint. Defaults to "Link", but can be changed to support different proxy mechanisms.
When crawlers visit a post-specific URL like `/t/-/{topic-id}/{post-number}`, we use the canonical to direct them to the appropriate crawler-optimised paginated view (e.g. `?page=3`).
However, analysis of google results shows that the post-specific URLs are still being included in the index. Google doesn't tell us exactly why this is happening. However, as a general rule, 'A large portion of the duplicate page's content should be present on the canonical version'.
In our previous implementation, this wasn't 100% true all the time. That's because a request for a post-specific URL would include posts 'surrounding' that post, and won't exactly conform to the page boundaries which are used in the canonical version of the page. Essentially: in some cases, the content of the post-specific pages would include many posts which were not present on the canonical paginated version.
This commit aims to resolve that problem by simplifying the implementation. Instead of rendering posts surrounding the target post_number, we will only render the target post, and include a link to 'show post in topic'. With this new implementation, 100% of the post-specific page content will be present on the canonical paginated version, which will hopefully mean google reduces their indexing of the non-canonical post-specific pages.
To improve performance, we omit the basic-HTML version of pages when users are logged in, or when they are using a modern mobile device. This can be confusing when analysing the SEO of sites, so this commit adds a short static message when content is omitted.
Before this commit, we had a yarn package set up in the root directory and also in `app/assets/javascripts`. That meant two `yarn install` calls and two `node_modules` directories. This commit merges them both into the root location, and updates references to node_modules.
A previous attempt can be found at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21172. This commit re-uses that script to merge the `yarn.lock` files.

In safe mode plugins are not loaded, so the plugin admin
routes are not loaded. This was causing errors in the
admin sidebar because we are trying to show links to the plugin
admin routes.
This fixes the issue by just not adding the plugin links if
we are in safe mode.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
Safari has a bug which means that scripts with the `defer` attribute are executed before stylesheets have finished loading. This is being tracked at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209261.
This commit works around the problem by introducing a no-op inline `<script>` to the end of our HTML document. This works because defer scripts are guaranteed to run after inline scripts, and inline scripts are guaranteed to run after any preceding stylesheets.
Technically we only need this for Safari. But given that the cost is so low, it makes sense to include it everywhere rather than incurring the complexity of gating it by user-agent.
Some attributes of the microdata schema `DiscussionForumPosting` are rendered in the context of the first post.
Ensure these attributes are also set if the first post is not part of the current view.
* Ensure consistent `datePublished` and remove `text` on second page in topic microdata schema
Always use `datePublished` from topic and never from `first_psot`. This ensures `datePublished` to be consistent on `first page` and `page=2+`.
No need to repeat `text` on `page=2+`. Especially do not set `text` on `page=2+` if it is only an abstract and thereby not 100% consistent with `text` on `first page`.
* Keep `text`attribute on follow-up pages
This commit adds an additional toggle to our safe-mode system. When enabled, it will cause all deprecation messages to become exceptions. This gives admins a way to test their themes/plugins against upcoming Discourse changes without needing to use the browser developer tools.
