Ref T13249. See <https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/configuring-the-number-of-taskmaster-daemons/2394/>.
Today, when a configuration value is "locked", we prevent //writes// to the database. However, we still perform reads. When you upgrade, we generally don't want a bunch of your configuration to change by surprise.
Some day, I'd like to stop reading locked configuration from the database. This would defuse an escalation where an attacker finds a way to write to locked configuration despite safeguards, e.g. through SQL injection or policy bypass. Today, they could write to `cluster.mailers` or similar and substantially escalate access. A better behavior would be to ignore database values for `cluster.mailers` and other locked config, so that these impermissible writes have no effect.
Doing this today would break a lot of installs, but we can warn them about it now and then make the change at a later date.
Test Plan:
- Forced a `phd.taskmasters` config value into the database.
- Saw setup warning.
- Used `bin/config delete --database phd.taskmasters` to clear the warning.
- Reviewed documentation changes.
- Reviewed `phd.taskmasters` documentation adjustment.

On `secure`, the `__profile__` flag does not survive POST like it's supposed to: when you profile a page and then submit a form on the page, the result is supposed to be profiled. The intent is to make it easier to profile Conduit calls.
I believe this is because we're hooking the profiler, then rebuilding POST data a little later -- so `$_POST['__profile__']` isn't set yet when the profiler checks.
Move the POST rebuild a little earlier to fix this.
Also, remove the very ancient "aphront.default-application-configuration-class". I believe this was only used by Facebook to do CIDR checks against corpnet or something like that. It is poorly named and long-obsolete now, and `AphrontSite` does everything we might reasonably have wanted it to do.

In ~2012, the first of these options was added because someone who hates dogs and works at Asana also hated `[Differential]` in the subject line. The use case there was actually //removing// the text, not changing it, but I made the prefix editable since it seemed like slightly less of a one-off.
These options are among the dumbest and most useless config options we have and very rarely used, see T11760. A very small number of instances have configured one of these options.
Newer applications stopped providing these options and no one has complained.
You can get the same effect with `translation.override`. Although I'm not sure we'll keep that around forever, it's a reasonable replacement today. I'll call out an example in the changelog to help installs that want to preserve this option.
If we did want to provide this, it should just be in {nav Applications > Settings} for each application, but I think it's wildly-low-value and "hack via translations" or "local patch" are entirely reasonable if you really want to change these strings.

Summary:
Fixes T7477. Fixes T13066. Currently, inbound mail is processed by the first receiver that matches any "To:" address. "Cc" addresses are ignored.
**To, CC, and Multiple Receivers**
Some users would like to be able to "Cc" addresses like `bugs@` instead of having to "To" the address, which makes perfect sense. That's the driving use case behind T7477.
Since users can To/Cc multiple "create object" or "update object" addresses, I also wanted to make the behavior more general. For example, if you email `bugs@` and also `paste@`, your mail might reasonably make both a Task and a Paste. Is this useful? I'm not sure. But it seems like it's pretty clearly the best match for user intent, and the least-surprising behavior we can have. There's also no good rule for picking which address "wins" when two or more match -- we ended up with "address order", which is pretty arbitrary since "To" and "Cc" are not really ordered fields.
One part of this change is removing `phabricator.allow-email-users`. In practice, this option only controlled whether users were allowed to send mail to "Application Email" addresses with a configured default author, and it's unlikely that we'll expand it since I think the future of external/grey users is Nuance, not richer interaction with Maniphest/Differential/etc. Since this option only made "Default Author" work and "Default Author" is optional, we can simplify behavior by making the rule work like this:
- If an address specifies a default author, it allows public email.
- If an address does not, it doesn't.
That's basically how it worked already, except that you could intentionally "break" the behavior by not configuring `phabricator.allow-email-users`. This is a backwards compatility change with possible security implications (it might allow email in that was previously blocked by configuration) that I'll call out in the changelog, but I suspect that no installs are really impacted and this new behavior is generally more intuitive.
A somewhat related change here is that each receiver is allowed to react to each individual email address, instead of firing once. This allows you to configure `bugs-a@` and `bugs-b@` and CC them both and get two tasks. Useful? Maybe not, but seems like the best execution of intent.
**Sender vs Author**
Adjacently, T13066 described an improvement to error handling behavior here: we did not distinguish between "sender" (the user matching the email "From" address) and "actor" (the user we're actually acting as in the application). These are different when you're some internet rando and send to `bugs@`, which has a default author. Then the "sender" is `null` and the "author" is `@bugs-robot` or whatever (some user account you've configured).
This refines "Sender" vs "Author". This is mostly a purity/correctness change, but it means that we won't send random email error messages to `@bugs-robot`.
Since receivers are now allowed to process mail with no "sender" if they have some default "actor" they would rather use instead, it's not an error to send from an invalid address unless nothing processes the mail.
**Other**
This removes the "abundant receivers" error since this is no longer an error.
This always sets "external user" mail recipients to be unverified. As far as I can tell, there's no pathway by which we send them email anyway (before or after this change), although it's possible I'm missing something somewhere.
Test Plan:
I did most of this with `bin/mail receive-test`. I rigged the workflow slightly for some of it since it doesn't support multiple addresses or explicit "CC" and adding either would be a bit tricky.
These could also be tested with `scripts/mail/mail_handler.php`, but I don't currently have the MIME parser extension installed locally after a recent upgrade to Mojave and suspect T13232 makes it tricky to install.
- Ran unit tests, which provide significant coverage of this flow.
- Sent mail to multiple Maniphest application emails, got multiple tasks.
- Sent mail to a Maniphest and a Paste application email, got a task and a paste.
- Sent mail to a task.

- Sent mail to a Phame blog post.
- Sent mail to a Legalpad document.
- Sent mail to a Conpherence thread.
- Sent mail to a poll.
- This isn't every type of supported object but it's enough of them that I'm pretty confident I didn't break the whole flow.
- Sent mail to an object I could not view (got an error).
- As a non-user, sent mail to several "create an object..." addresses.
- Addresses with a default user worked (e.g., created a task).
- Addresses without a default user did not work.

- Remove the "phabricator.csrf-key" configuration option in favor of automatically generating an HMAC key.
- Upgrade two hasher callsites (one in CSRF itself, one in providing a CSRF secret for logged-out users) to SHA256.
- Extract the CSRF logic from `PhabricatorUser` to a standalone engine.
I was originally going to do this as two changes (extract logic, then upgrade hashes) but the logic had a couple of very silly pieces to it that made faithful extraction a little silly.
For example, it computed `time_block = (epoch + (offset * cycle_frequency)) / cycle_frequency` instead of `time_block = (epoch / cycle_frequency) + offset`. These are equivalent but the former was kind of silly.
It also computed `substr(hmac(substr(hmac(secret)).salt))` instead of `substr(hmac(secret.salt))`. These have the same overall effect but the former is, again, kind of silly (and a little bit materially worse, in this case).
This will cause a one-time compatibility break: pages loaded before the upgrade won't be able to submit contained forms after the upgrade, unless they're open for long enough for the Javascript to refresh the CSRF token (an hour, I think?). I'll note this in the changelog.
Test Plan:
- As a logged-in user, submitted forms normally (worked).
- As a logged-in user, submitted forms with a bad CSRF value (error, as expected).

The "metamta.domain" option is only used to generate Thread-ID values, and we just need something that looks like a bit like a domain in order to make GMail happy. Just use the install domain. In most cases, this is almost certainly the configured value anyway. In some cases, this may cause a one-time threading break for existing threads; I'll call this out in the changelog.
The "metamta.placeholder-to-recipient" is used to put some null value in "To:" when a mail only has CCs. This is so that if you write a local client mail rule like "when I'm in CC, burn the message in a fire" it works even if all the "to" addresses have elected not to receive the mail. Instead: just send it to an unlikely address at our own domain.

- `celerity.resource-hash`: Now hard-coded, since the use case for ever adjusting it was very weak.
- `celerity.enable-deflate`: Intended to make cache inspection easier, but we haven't needed to inspect caches in ~forever.
- `celerity.minify`: Intended to make debugging minification easier, but we haven't needed to debug this in ~forever.
In the latter two cases, the options were purely developer-focused, and it's easy to go add an `&& false` somewhere in the code if we need to disable these features to debug something, but the relevant parts of the code basically work properly and never need debugging. These options were excessively paranoid, based on the static resource enviroment at Facebook being far more perilous.
The first case theoretically had end-user utility for fixing stuck content caches. In modern Phabricator, it's not intuitive that you'd go adjust a Config option to fix this. I don't recall any users ever actually running into problems here, though.

Summary:
[ ] Write an "Upgrading: ..." guidance task with narrow instructions for installs that are upgrading.
[ ] Do we need to add an indexing activity (T11932) for installs with ElasticSearch?
[ ] We should more clearly detail exactly which versions of ElasticSearch are supported (for example, is ElasticSearch <2 no longer supported)? From T9893 it seems like we may //only// have supported ElasticSearch <2 before, so are the two regions of support totally nonoverlapping and all ElasticSearch users will need to upgrade?
[ ] Documentation should provide stronger guidance toward MySQL and away from Elastic for the vast majority of installs, because we've historically seen users choosing Elastic when they aren't actually trying to solve any specific problem.
[ ] When users search for fulltext results in Maniphest and hit too many documents, the current behavior is approximately silent failure (see T12443). D17384 has also lowered the ceiling for ElasticSearch, although previous changes lowered it for MySQL search. We should not fail silently, and ideally should build toward T12003.
[ ] D17384 added a new "keywords" field, but MySQL does not search it (I think?). The behavior should be as consistent across MySQL and Elastic as we can make it. Likely cleaner is giving "Project" objects a body, with "slugs" and "description" separated by newlines?
[ ] `PhabricatorSearchEngineTestCase` is now pointless and only detects local misconfigurations.
[ ] It would be nice to build a practical test suite instead, where we put specific documents into the index and then search for them. The upstream test could run against MySQL, and some `bin/search test` could run against a configured engine like ElasticSearch. This would make it easier to make sure that behavior was as uniform as possible across engine implementations.
[ ] Does every assigned task now match "user" in ElasticSearch?
[x] `PhabricatorElasticFulltextStorageEngine` has a `json_encode()` which should be `phutil_json_encode()`.
[ ] `PhabricatorSearchService` throws an untranslated exception.
[ ] When a search cluster is down, we probably don't degrade with much grace (unhandled exception)?
[ ] I haven't run bin/search init, but bin/search index doesn't warn me that I may want to. This might be worth adding. The UI does warn me.
[ ] bin/search init warns me that the index is "incorrect". It might be more clear to distinguish between "missing" and "incorrect", since it's more comforting to users to see "everything is as we expect, doing normal first-time setup now" than "something is wrong, fixing it".
[ ] CLI message "Initializing search service "ElasticSearch"" does not end with a period, which is inconsistent with other UI messages.
[ ] It might be nice to let bin/search commands like init and index select a specific service (or even service + host) to act on, as bin/storage --ref ... now does. You can generally get the result you want by fiddling with config.
[ ] When a service isn't writable, bin/search init reports "Search cluster has no hosts for role "write".". This is accurate but does not provide guidance: it might be more useful to the user to explain "This service is not writable, so we're skipping index check for it.".
[x] Even with write off for MySQL, bin/search index --type task --trace still updates MySQL, I think? I may be misreading the trace output. But this behavior doesn't make sense if it is the actual behavior, and it seems like reindexAbstractDocument() uses "all services", not "writable services", and the MySQL engine doesn't make sure it's writable before indexing.
[x] Searching or user fails to find task Grant users tokens when a mention is created, suggesting that stemming is not working.
[x] Searching for users finds that task, but fails to find a task containing "per user per month" in a comment, also suggesting that stemming is not working.
[x] Searching for maniphest fails to find task maniphest.query elephant, suggesting that tokenization in ElasticSearch is not as good as the MySQL tokenization for these words (see D17330).
[x] The "index incorrect" warning UI uses inconsistent title case.
[x] The "index incorrect" warning UI could format the command to be run more cleanly (with addCommand(), I think).

Summary:
The goal is to make fulltext search back-ends more extensible, configurable and robust.
When this is finished it will be possible to have multiple search storage back-ends and
potentially multiple instances of each.
Individual instances can be configured with roles such as 'read', 'write' which control
which hosts will receive writes to the index and which hosts will respond to queries.
These two roles make it possible to have any combination of:
* read-only
* write-only
* read-write
* disabled
This 'roles' mechanism is extensible to add new roles should that be needed in the future.
In addition to supporting multiple elasticsearch and mysql search instances, this refactors
the connection health monitoring infrastructure from PhabricatorDatabaseHealthRecord and
utilizes the same system for monitoring the health of elasticsearch nodes. This will
allow Wikimedia's phabricator to be redundant across data centers (mysql already is,
elasticsearch should be as well).
The real-world use-case I have in mind here is writing to two indexes (two elasticsearch clusters
in different data centers) but reading from only one. Then toggling the 'read' property when
we want to migrate to the other data center (and when we migrate from elasticsearch 2.x to 5.x)
Hopefully this is useful in the upstream as well.
Remaining TODO:
* test cases
* documentation
Test Plan:
(WARNING) This will most likely require the elasticsearch index to be deleted and re-created due to schema changes.
Tested with elasticsearch versions 2.4 and 5.2 using the following config:

Summary:
Ref T11922. After updating to HEAD of `master`, you need to manually rebuild the index. We don't do this during `bin/storage upgrade` because it can take a very long time (`secure.phabricator.com` took roughly an hour) and can happen while Phabricator is running.
However, if we don't warn users about this they'll just get a broken index unless they go read the changelog (or file an issue, then we tell them to go read the changelog).
This adds a very simple table for notes to administrators so we can write a "you need to go rebuild the index" note, then adds one.
Administrators clear the note by completing the activity and running `bin/config done reindex`. This isn't automatic because there are various strategies you can use to approach the issue, which I'll discuss in greater detail in the linked documentation.
Also, fix an issue where `bin/storage upgrade --apply <patch>` could try to re-mark an already-applied patch as applied.
Test Plan:
- Ran storage ugrades.
- Got instructions to rebuild search index.
- Cleared instructions with `bin/config done reindex`.

Since the default minimum word length (3) and stopword list (36 common English words) in InnoDB are generally pretty reasonable, I just didn't add any setup advice for them. I figure we're better off with simpler setup until we identify some real problem that the builtin stopwords create.

Ref T11044. This was old Facebook cruft for reading configuration from SMC (and maybe doing some other questionable things). See D183.
(See also D175 for discussion of this from 2011.)
In modern Phabricator, you can subclass `SiteConfig` to provide dynamic configuration, and we do so in the Phacility cluster. This lets you change any config, and change in response to requests (e.g., for instancing) and is generally more powerful than this mechanism was.
This configuration provider theoretically let you roll your own replication or partitioning, but in practice I believe no one ever did, and no one ever could have anyway without more support in the upstream (for migrations, read-after-write, etc).
Test Plan:
- Grepped for removed option.
- Browsed around with clustering off.

Summary:
Ref T11044. One popular tool in a modern operations environment is Puppet. The primary purpose of this tool is to randomly revert hosts to older or different configurations.
Introducing an element of chaotic unpredictability into operations trains staff to be on high alert at all times, rather than lulled into complacency by predictability or consistency.
When Puppet reverts a Phabricator host's configuration to an older version, we might start writing data to a lot of crazy places where it shouldn't go. This will create a big sticky mess that is virtually impossible to undo, mostly because we'll get two files with ID 123 or two tasks with ID 456 or whatever else and good luck with that.
Instead, after changing the partition layout, require `bin/storage partition` to be run. This writes a copy of the config everywhere.
Then, when we start serving web requests, make sure every database has the exact same config. This will foil Puppet by refusing to run requests on hosts it has reverted.
Test Plan:
- Changed partition configuration.
- Ran Phabricator.
- FOILED!
- Ran `bin/storage partition` to sync config.
- Things worked again.

Ref T10759. Check master/replica status during startup.
After D16903, this also means that we check this status after a database comes back online after being unreachable.
If a master is replicating, fatal (since this can do a million kinds of bad things).
If a replica is not replicating, warn (this just means the replica is behind so some data is at risk).
Also: if your masters were actually configured properly (mine weren't until this change detected it), we would throw away patches as we applied them, so they would only apply to the //first// master. Instead, properly apply all migration patches to all masters.
Test Plan:
- Started Phabricator with a replicating master, got a fatal.
- Stopped replication on a replica, got a warning.
- With two non-replicating masters, upgraded storage.

Summary:
Ref T10759. We may "discover" the presence of a fatal setup error later, after starting Phabricator.
This can happen in a few ways, but most are unlikely. The one I'm immediately concerned about is:
- Phabricator starts up during a disaster with some databases unreachable.
- We start with warnings (unreachable databases are generally not fatal, since it's OK for some subset of hosts to be down in replicated/partitioned setups).
- The unreachable databases later recover and become accessible again.
- When we run checks against them, we discover that they are misconfigured.
Currently, "fatal" setup issues are not truly fatal if we're "in flight" -- we've survived setup checks at least once in the past. This is bad in the scenario above.
Especially with partitioning, it could lead to mangled data in a disaster scenario where operations staff makes a small configuration mistake while trying to get things running again.
Instead, if we "discover" a fatal error while already "in flight", reset the whole setup process as though the webserver had just restarted. Don't serve requests again until we can make it through setup without hitting fatals.
Test Plan:
- Started Phabricator with multiple masters, one of which was down and broken.
- Got a warning about the bad master.
- Revived the master.
- Before: Phabricator detects the fatal, but keeps serving requests.
- After: Phabricator detects the fatal, resets the webserver, and stops serving requests until the fatal is resolved.

Summary:
Ref T10759. Currently, these checks run only against configured masters. Instead, check every host.
These checks also sort of cheat through restart during a recovery, when some hosts will be unreachable: they test for "disaster" by seeing if no masters are reachable, and just skip all the checks in that case.
This is bad for at least two reasons:
- After recent changes, it is possible that //some// masters are dead but it's still OK to start. For example, "slowvote" may have no master, but everything else is reachable. We can safely run without slowvote.
- It's possible to start during a disaster and miss important setup checks completely, since we skip them, get a clean bill of health, and never re-test them.
Instead:
- Test each host individually.
- Fundamental problems (lack of InnoDB, bad schema) are fatal on any host.
- If we can't connect, raise it as a //warning// to make sure we check it later. If you start during a disaster, we still want to make sure that schemata are up to date if you later recover a host.
In particular, I'm going to add these checks soon:
- Fatal if a "master" is replicating.
- Fatal if a "replica" is not replicating.
- Fatal if a database partition config differs from web partition config.
- When we let a database off with a warning because it's down, and later upgrade it to a fatal because we discover it is broken after it comes up again, fatal everything. Currently, we keep running if we "discover" the presence of new fatals after surviving setup checks for the first time.
Test Plan:
- Configured with multiple masters, intentionally broke one (simulating a disaster where one master is lost), saw Phabricator still startup.
- Tested individual setup checks by intentionally breaking them.

The persistent connections change means we use //fewer// connections at the high end, but I'm guessing PHP is keeping some more connections around in the pool, so while high-traffic hosts use fewer connections, low-traffic hosts now use more.
Raise an explicit setup warning about this. Users should be adjusting it anyway, there's no value to leaving it at extremely low default and connections are baiscally free until you run out of outbound ports.
