Allow configuring the set of workers to proxy outbound federation traffic through (`outbound_federation_restricted_to`).
This is useful when you have a worker setup with `federation_sender` instances responsible for sending outbound federation requests and want to make sure *all* outbound federation traffic goes through those instances. Before this change, the generic workers would still contact federation themselves for things like profile lookups, backfill, etc. This PR allows you to set more strict access controls/firewall for all workers and only allow the `federation_sender`'s to contact the outside world.

* Check required power levels earlier in createRoom handler.
- If a server was configured to reject the creation of rooms with E2EE
enabled (by specifying an unattainably high power level for
"m.room.encryption" in default_power_level_content_override), the 403
error was not being triggered until after the room was created and
before the "m.room.power_levels" was sent. This allowed a user to
access the partially-configured room and complete the setup of E2EE
and power levels manually.
- This change causes the power level overrides to be checked earlier and
the request to be rejected before the user gains access to the room.
- A new `_validate_room_config` method is added to contain checks that
should be run before a room is created.
- The new test case confirms that a user request is rejected by the new
validation method.

Implements stable support for MSC3882; this involves updating Synapse's support to
match the MSC / the spec says.
Continue to support the unstable version to allow clients to transition.
The stubs have some issues so this has some generous cast
and ignores in it, but it is better than not having stubs.
Note that confusing that Element is a function which creates
_Element instances (and similarly for Comment).
If the previous read marker is pointing to an event that no longer exists
(e.g. due to retention) then assume that the newly given read marker
is newer.
To track changes in MSC2666:
- The change from `/mutual_rooms/{user_id}` to `/mutual_rooms?user_id={user_id}`.
- The addition of `next_batch_token` (and logic).
- Unstable flag now being `uk.half-shot.msc2666.query_mutual_rooms`.
- The error code when your own user is requested.
There are two situations which were previously not properly checked:
1. If the requested URL was replaced with an oEmbed URL, then the
oEmbed URL was not checked against url_preview_url_blacklist.
2. Follow-up URLs (either via autodiscovery of oEmbed or to pre-cache
images) were not checked against url_preview_url_blacklist.
This stops media (and thumbnails) from being accessed from the
listed domains. It does not delete any already locally cached media,
but will prevent accessing it.
Note that admin APIs are unaffected by this change.
Adds an optional keyword argument to the /relations API which
will recurse a limited number of event relationships.
This will cause the API to return not just the events related to the
parent event, but also events related to those related to the parent
event, etc.
This is disabled by default behind an experimental configuration
flag and is currently implemented using prefixed parameters.
This moves `redacts` from being a top-level property to
a `content` property in a new room version.
MSC2176 (which was previously implemented) states to not
`redact` this property.
* Revert "Fix registering a device on an account with lots of devices (#15348)"
This reverts commit f0d8f66eaa.
* Revert "Delete stale non-e2e devices for users, take 3 (#15183)"
This reverts commit 78cdb72cd6.
This makes it so that we rely on the `device_id` to delete pushers on logout,
instead of relying on the `access_token_id`. This ensures we're not removing
pushers on token refresh, and prepares for a world without access token IDs
(also known as the OIDC).
This actually runs the `set_device_id_for_pushers` background update, which
was forgotten in #13831.
Note that for backwards compatibility it still deletes pushers based on the
`access_token` until the background update finishes.
When a room is deleted in Synapse we remove the event forward
extremities in the room, so if (say a bot) tries to send a message into
the room we error out due to not being able to calculate prev events for
the new event *before* we check if the sender is in the room.
Fixes#8094
Enables MSC3925 support by default, which:
* Includes the full edit event in the bundled aggregations of an
edited event.
* Stops modifying the original event's content to return the new
content from the edit event.
This is a backwards-incompatible change that is considered to be
"correct" by the spec.
It turns out that no clients rely on server-side aggregation of `m.annotation`
relationships: it's just not very useful as currently implemented.
It's also non-trivial to calculate.
I want to remove it from MSC2677, so to keep the implementation in line, let's
remove it here.

This applies to the return values from `@cached` methods and the values
inside the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods. It's not
necessary for the dictionaries returned by `@cachedList` methods
themselves to be read-only.

Two parts to this:

* Optionally, inhibit server-side replacement of edited events. This has scope to break things, so it is currently disabled by default.
It doesn't seem valid that HTML entities should appear in

Fix MSC3030 `/timestamp_to_event` endpoint returning `outliers` that it has no idea whether are near a gap or not (and therefore unable to determine whether it's actually the closest event). The reason Synapse doesn't know whether an `outlier` is next to a gap is because our gap checks rely on entries in the `event_edges`, `event_forward_extremeties`, and `event_backward_extremities` tables which is [not the case for `outliers`](2c63cdcc3f/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md (outliers)).
Also fixes MSC3030 Complement `can_paginate_after_getting_remote_event_from_timestamp_to_event_endpoint` test flake. Although this acted flakey in Complement, if `sync_partial_state` raced and beat us before `/timestamp_to_event`, then even if we retried the failing `/context` request it wouldn't work until we made this Synapse change. With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13944
### Why did this fail before? Why was it flakey?
Sleuthing the server logs on the [CI failure](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/actions/runs/3149623842/jobs/5121449357#step:5:5805), it looks like `hs2:/timestamp_to_event` found `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` event locally. Then when we went and asked for it via `/context`, since it's an `outlier`, it was filtered out of the results -> `You don't have permission to access that event.`
This is reproducible when `sync_partial_state` races and persists `$NP6-oU7mIFVyhtKfGvfrEQX949hQX-T-gvuauG6eurU` as an `outlier` before we evaluate `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`. To consistently reproduce locally, just add a delay at the [start of `get_event_for_timestamp(...)`](cb20b885cb/synapse/handlers/room.py (L1470-L1496)) so it always runs after `sync_partial_state` completes.
```py
from twisted.internet import task as twisted_task
d = twisted_task.deferLater(self.hs.get_reactor(), 3.5)
await d
```
In a run where it passes, on `hs2`, `get_event_for_timestamp(...)` finds a different event locally which is next to a gap and we request from a closer one from `hs1` which gets backfilled. And since the backfilled event is not an `outlier`, it's returned as expected during `/context`.
With this PR, Synapse will never return an `outlier` event so that test will always go and ask over federation.
The callers either set a default limit or manually handle a None-limit
later on (by setting a default value).
Update the callers to always instantiate PaginationConfig with a default
limit and then assume the limit is non-None.
Stabilize the threads API (MSC3856) by supporting (only) the v1
path for the endpoint.
This also marks the API as safe for workers since it is a read-only
API.
Implement the /threads endpoint from MSC3856.
This is currently unstable and behind an experimental configuration
flag.
It includes a background update to backfill data, results from
the /threads endpoint will be partial until that finishes.
Attempt to parse any valid information from an oEmbed response
(instead of bailing at the first unexpected data). This should allow
for more partial oEmbed data to be returned, resulting in better /
more URL previews, even if those URL previews are only partial.
Fixes two related bugs:
* The handling of `[null]` for a `room_types` filter was incorrect.
* The ordering of arguments when providing both a network tuple
and room type field was incorrect.
Keep the old behavior (of including the original_event field) for any
requests to the /unstable version of the endpoint, but do not include
the field when the /v1 version is used.
This should avoid new clients from depending on this field, but will
not help with current dependencies.
MSC3316 declares that both /rooms/{roomId}/send and /rooms/{roomId}/state
should accept a ts parameter for appservices. This change expands support
to /state and adds tests.
This PR begins work on batching up events during the creation of a room. The PR splits out the creation and sending/persisting of the events. The first three events in the creation of the room-creating the room, joining the creator to the room, and the power levels event are sent sequentially, while the subsequent events are created and collected to be sent at the end of the function. This is currently done by appending them to a list and then iterating over the list to send, the next step (after this PR) would be to send and persist the collected events as a batch.
Since MSC3715 has passed FCP, the stable parameter can be used.
This currently falls back to the unstable parameter if the stable
parameter is not provided (and MSC3715 support is enabled in
the configuration).
This fixes a bug where the `/relations` API with `dir=f` would
skip the first item of each page (except the first page), causing
incomplete data to be returned to the client.
Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
This adds support for the stable identifiers of MSC2285 while
continuing to support the unstable identifiers behind the configuration
flag. These will be removed in a future version.

## New error code and status
### Before
Previously, we returned a `404` for `/thumbnail` which isn't even in the spec.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
"error": "Not found [b'hs1', b'tefQeZhmVxoiBfuFQUKRzJxc']"
}
```
### After
What does the spec say?
> 400: The request does not make sense to the server, or the server cannot thumbnail the content. For example, the client requested non-integer dimensions or asked for negatively-sized images.
>
> *-- https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#get_matrixmediav3thumbnailservernamemediaid*
Now with this PR, we respond with a `400` when we don't have thumbnails to serve and we explain why we might not have any thumbnails.
```json
{
"errcode": "M_UNKNOWN",
"error": "Cannot find any thumbnails for the requested media ([b'example.com', b'12345']). This might mean the media is not a supported_media_format=(image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/webp, image/gif, image/png) or that thumbnailing failed for some other reason. (Dynamic thumbnails are disabled on this server.)",
}
```
> Cannot find any thumbnails for the requested media ([b'example.com', b'12345']). This might mean the media is not a supported_media_format=(image/jpeg, image/jpg, image/webp, image/gif, image/png) or that thumbnailing failed for some other reason. (Dynamic thumbnails are disabled on this server.)
---
We still respond with a 404 in many other places. But we can iterate on those later and maybe keep some in some specific places after spec updates/clarification: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1122
We can also iterate on the bugs where Synapse doesn't thumbnail when it should in other issues/PRs.
There is a corner in `_check_event_auth` (long known as "the weird corner") where, if we get an event with auth_events which don't match those we were expecting, we attempt to resolve the diffence between our state and the remote's with a state resolution.
This isn't specced, and there's general agreement we shouldn't be doing it.
However, it turns out that the faster-joins code was relying on it, so we need to introduce something similar (but rather simpler) for that.
