Ayesha Waseem 44757a4917 Prefer the stored server key valid for longest when several notaries answered (#20406)
`KeyStore.get_server_keys_json` orders the `server_keys_json` rows of a
key by `ts_added_ms` and each row overwrites the previous one, so the
last notary to answer wins even when its `ts_valid_until_ms` is lower
than an earlier answer's. When that answer is stale, `StoreKeyFetcher`
returns a key below `minimum_valid_until_ts` and event signature
verification fails although a long enough key is stored.

The query now orders by `ts_valid_until_ms, ts_added_ms`, so the
longest-valid entry wins and the most recent one still wins a tie.
`tests/crypto/test_keyring.py` stores two notary responses for one key,
the longer-lived one first, and checks that the lookup and
`verify_json_for_server` use it. Not covered:
`get_server_keys_json_for_remote` and
`get_all_server_keys_json_for_remote`, which still prefer the most
recently added row.

Fixes #20358

Paul ChobertandQuentin Gliech 7593add0c5 Server Announcement Room Tags (#20448)
> [!NOTE]
> **Epic**: [Efficient Server
Announcements](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/20240)

In the previous PR, @anoadragon453 noted that we should sync account
data, see
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20412#discussion_r4404823625.
Unfortunately, tagging required another change in the authorization
check.

This PR:
- [x] Allows synthetic members to set tags (eg: `m.favorite`)
- [x] Return tags of announcement rooms in Sync
  - [x] Legacy Sync
  - [ ] Sliding Sync
_Should merge the branch `barodeur/srv-announcements-sync-sliding` &
change the PR base branch_.
- [x] Always returns the tag `m.server_notice`
- [x] Prevent from removing the tag `m.server_notice`

Quentin GliechandAndrew Morgan 4902d34f93 [Server Announcements] Don't deliver announcement rooms to excluded users in legacy sync (#20465)
Follow-up to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20407, which
added the `excluded_user_ids` option without enforcing it. This makes
legacy `/sync` respect it: users listed in a room's `excluded_user_ids`
no longer get that room through the synthetic join. They can still read
it, as it is world-readable.

The cached lookup now maps room ID to config ID, so the per-user filter
runs in memory and adds no database query to `/sync`.
`get_server_announcement_room_ids()` is kept as a wrapper, so the
stacked PRs are unaffected.

Known limitation, documented in the config docs: changing the list does
not update rooms that clients already have. A newly excluded user keeps
the room, which stops updating. A user removed from the list gets new
events without the room's state until their next initial sync. I think
that's an okay limitation for now, as we don't really expect this list
to be used for real users

bf9a68b017 Allow reading Server Announcement history outside of sync (#20423)
> [!NOTE]
> Epic: [Efficient Server
Announcements](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/20240)
> Follows: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20372

This PR first tests that every user can read the server announcements
through the "history" endpoints like

- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/messages`
- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}`
- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/event/{eventId}`
- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/relations/{eventId}`
- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/threads`
- [x] `GET /rooms/{roomId}/initialSync`

This already works for users who have never been in the room, because
announcement rooms are world-readable.

It doesn't for a sender who was removed from the room's config: Synapse
still uses their `leave` membership and shows them the room as it was
when they left.
This PR then treats a user who left a configured announcement room like
a user who has never been in it.

Fixes #20367

HEAD requests are routed to the GET handlers, so the media download
endpoints read the whole file and stream it to Twisted, which then
discards the body. Stop after writing the headers instead.

> **Epic**: [Efficient Server
Announcements](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/20240)
> Follows: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20372

When a new announcement is sent in the announcement room, this PR will
ensure that the announcement and the room state are shared with the
client over Legacy Sync.

If you reviewed the PoC before, please note that there are several
differences:
- We intentionally don't wake all sync
- We don't want typing and receipts
- We don't need device lists

to use only a body parameter for that

Quentin Gliech e3e847083e [v1.164] Restore the unstable MSC2965 /auth_metadata endpoint (#20460)
This is a partial revert of
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20143 to restore the unstable
`/auth_metadata` C-S API endpoint.

The details on why are in #20459 

Since this is affecting live clients (Rust SDK-based clients including
Element X iOS and Android), this PR is against the 1.164 release branch
as we plan to release 1.164.2 with this fix.

The CI failures are unrelated and were already fixed on `develop` in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20386. Please look at
`develop` counterpart of this PR
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20461 for the green CI

includes the following:

- Stable `/rtc/transports` as per
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4143 and
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4195. The
unstable endpoint is retained for backwards compatibility.
- Adding `m.rtc.slot` events to the state events retained during room
upgrades.

Raphael Fakhri 56acc229a5 Return identity server errors from third-party invites instead of a 500 (#20401)
Fixes #19257.

When an identity server returns a non-2xx response to
`/_matrix/identity/v2/store-invite` during a third-party invite,
`ask_id_server_for_third_party_invite` lets the `HttpResponseException`
escape. The client receives a 500 `M_UNKNOWN` error and the real cause
(for example, `M_THREEPID_IN_USE`) is lost.

This change catches `HttpResponseException` and converts it with
`to_synapse_error()`, which matches how the other identity server calls
in `IdentityHandler` (bind, `requestToken`) already handle error
responses.

A new test in `ThreepidInviteTestCase` makes the identity server return
a 400 `M_THREEPID_IN_USE` error and checks that the client receives the
same code and errcode. The test fails on `develop` with `500 != 400` and
passes with this change.

Erik Johnston eca9a4acd3 Fix regression with lazy membership and concurrenet syncs (#20433)
Broke by #20289. Hopefully fixes element-hq/element-web#35567.

One subtle change in #20289 was that we started to filter rooms with
`full_state` set through the cache. This *should* be safe since none of
the membership events should have been previously sent down the sync.

However, there is a bug with the lazy-loaded member cache when two
concurrent syncs for the same device happens. The updates to the cache
from the handling of one request are immediately seen by the other
request, polluting the cache.

This is a relatively common scenario in Element Web when a user reloads
the page. The sync from before the reload is still being processed when
Synapse receives the initial sync from after the reload.

The full fix to correctly handle overlapping requests is a separate PR,
but this is a stop-gap measure that should help Element Web.

Jason Robinson 2ff51d3c7f Partially revert "Reject setting null profile field values" (#20422)
As per https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/20419 this change
broke Element Web clearing user status, which basically means the client
is stuck with any status, and users cannot set a new one.

EW should move to use DELETE to clear user status, but until then we
should ensure the feature is not broken on existing clients in the wild.

Should we set a clear deprecation time for rejecting nulls? There might
be other clients using profile fields and doing PUT to clear the field.

Johannes MarbachandOlivier 'reivilibre 0d28e93a7a Move the sticky events sliding sync extension to the global pos and MSC4508 scoping (#20363)
This includes the following:
    
- Implements ['Implicit Forward
Pagination'](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/2378).
Remove the extension's `since` and `next_batch` fields. The position is
now tracked via the global `pos`, with per-room connection state
recording how far each room has been sent so that `limit` paginates
without holding `pos` back and lost responses are re-delivered.
- Discussed in
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4480#discussion_r4165887827
- Honour the `lists` and `rooms` fields.
- Send all unexpired sticky events when a room enters scope for the
first time or is newly joined, and catch up on events sent while a room
was out of scope when it re-enters.
- Enabling the extension partway through a connection returns all
unexpired sticky events for in-scope rooms, and re-enabling it after
disabling it returns the unexpired sticky events sent in the meantime.

I tried to split this up into standalone commits though the bulk of the
change is in the third commit.

> [!NOTE]

https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20081 is merged

This PR is a follow up to
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20081 and is based on its
code.
The scope of that original PR is limited to recovering the leave event
missing from `state_after`.

I noticed that state events from the leave event batch would only be
recovered if they were previously defined.

That made me add a pre-condition to the test: the topic had to be set
first.


https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/bccf1679aed0a5d86de87165c548f8c459758055/tests/handlers/test_sync.py#L1096-L1099

This PR attempts to recover new state events that only appeared first in
the leave batch.

Paul Chobert 26a92c7111 MSC4140: Reject scheduling a delayed event that the sender could not send at that time (#20266)
## What the MSC says

From MSC4140's [Auth rule
evaluation](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/b7cb09664fed684388ba656459d08cfaf786c1d1/proposals/4140-delayed-events-futures.md#auth-rule-evaluation):

> The server SHOULD also check the event could be sent when it is
scheduled and reject the request if not. In particular, servers SHOULD
check the sender is in the room (or otherwise authorized to send the
event) to avoid storing events for rooms the user is not in.

## This PR

- Checks the event against the room's auth rules as if it were sent now,
and returns the same 403 `M_FORBIDDEN` that `/send` and `/state` would.
- Changes to the sender's own membership are exempt: a join or knock can
be sent from outside the room, which is how this PR reads the MSC's "or
otherwise authorized". They are checked by the auth rules when they are
sent.

Here are a few examples:

| Delayed event | Before | After |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
--------------------------------------- |
---------------------------------------- |
| `m.room.message` from outside the room | 200 `delay_id`, fails at send
time | 403 `M_FORBIDDEN` |
| Kick of another member from outside the room | 200 `delay_id`, fails
at send time | 403 `M_FORBIDDEN` |
| `m.room.name` from a member whose power level is too low | 200
`delay_id`, fails at send time | 403 `M_FORBIDDEN` |
| **Exception**: join of a public room from outside it | 200 `delay_id`,
joins at send time | unchanged |
| Join from outside the room, then a message due after it | both
accepted, message sent once joined | join accepted, message 403
`M_FORBIDDEN` |

Olivier 'reivilibre b9b74e8892 Catch up historical MSC4354 Sticky Events to remote homeservers that are newly joining the room. (#20337)
Part of: MSC4354 (Experimental Feature tracking issue #19409)

Follows: #20165 (Sticky Event federation backlog + catch-up
transactions)


The MSC says that we need to tell a newly-joining server about all of
our sticky events (yes, even the ones before the server joined the
room).
This PR introduces the mechanism, building on the 'Sticky Event backlog'
mechanism introduced in #20165, to make that happen.

Most of the logic is taken from the original Sticky Events PR #18968,
but the Sticky Event backlog system did not exist back then.
(The benefit of having the persistent Sticky Event backlog is that we
don't need to rely on the federation senders not crashing to make sure
we get around to sending the Sticky Events out.)

- Add NEW_SERVER_JOINED replication command. (This is a cross-worker
'wake-up call' to check for a sticky event backlog)
We send it when persisting a state change that causes a new server to be
in the room.
We handle it by waking up federation senders for the destination,
including checking the sticky event backlog tables.

- When a server newly joins a room, we insert a sticky event backlog row
for that server, if there are any Sticky Events needing to be sent.

Olivier 'reivilibreandAndrew Morgan 1423a29f93 Reject null profile field values (following an optional clause in the specification), in order to avoid clients accidentally harming interoperability. (#20153)
Depends on: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/914

`displayname` and `avatar_url` already did not permit nulls, seemingly
from #8223.

The specification at v1.15 does not permit `null` for those fields
either, so this seems consistent with historical specification.

This only changes behaviour for 'custom' fields.

Olivier 'reivilibre 64689d45f4 Fix Sliding Sync considering a displayname/avatar change to mean the room was newly-joined (#20339)
Follows: #18375

This bugfix is a prerequisite for MSC4354 (Sticky Events, Experimental
Feature tracking issue #19409) changes.

- Add a failing test for join->join being newly_joined

- Fix the join->join transition being treated as a new join

  (when prev_events didn't coincidentally mask the problem)

  Rationale:

  `event_edges` / `prev_events` does NOT link a membership event
  to its previous state.
  (It could even be someone else's membership!)
In most real-world cases, this would generate a `prev_membership` of
NULL
  for every normal membership change.

  It appears as though the author intended some kind of 'previous state'
  relationship, but if you fix the first branch of the `UNION` query
  to use `current_state_delta_stream` for this (which is the source of
  state transitions), then it looks very redundant with the second
  branch.

It looks like the real reason we want to use the snapshots table is for
  out-of-band memberships (outlier memberships).
  So we continue using that for those, but ONLY for those.

  The `SUSPICIOUS` if block is removed because it appears to have been
papering over this issue by deduplicating the spurious `NULL` ->
non-null transitions,
but when you remove those duplicates at the source, it causes more
trouble
  because it doesn't know that what it's 'deduplicating' is actually the
  same membership transition.
This means if you join, then out-of-band leave (e.g. last member on the
server
to leave), that room would appear in `newly_joined` on a new initial
sync.
  (Tests did in fact catch this, too.)

MSC4452 is now merged, so the stable capability can be made visible.
I've kept in the unstable flag in order to transition away at a later
date.

Will Hunt 91020a9518 Short-circuit push rule evaluation when only one user is in a room (#20315)
This speeds up the /createRoom calls a tiny bit by not checking the
senders push rules.

This helps speed up a lot of test runs in Element Web which 
runs a lot of tests in one-person rooms (and creates a heck of a lot of rooms)

40acb97022 MSC4140: drop delayed state interference (#19495)
No longer cancel a user's delayed state events by a more recent state
event sent from a different user. This behaviour has been delegated to
an "alternative" in the delayed event MSC for some time now, and is not
known to be used by any module other than experimental iterations of
MatrixRTC.

Olivier 'reivilibre 93368c7eb8 Prevent MSC4354 Sticky Events being sticky when they were redacted in the same persistence batch. (#20322)
Part of: MSC4354
Part of: #19641
Follows: #20232 (which applies already-persisted redactions to Sticky
Events being persisted)


In some cases we batch events together during persistence.

If one of the events in the batch is a redaction of another event, we
should apply it, which provides the same benefit as #20232 (namely: we
avoid potentially dodgy event content being persisted & the event
naturally loses its stickiness
so is not written to `sticky_events`)

kruthikiran2007 07ecd8b497 Condense Pydantic validation error messages in client API responses (#20321)
Fixes #20309.

For endpoints that validate the request body with Pydantic, a validation
failure put Pydantic's raw verbose error text into the `error` field of
the standard error response, e.g.:

```json
{
  "errcode": "M_MISSING_PARAM",
  "error": "1 validation error for PutBody\\nroom_id\\n  Field required [type=missing, input_value={}, input_type=dict]\\n    For further information visit https://errors.pydantic.dev/2.12/v/missing"
}
```

This leaks internal details clients cannot act upon (model class names,
raw input values, pydantic.dev URLs). This PR adds a
`_format_pydantic_error` helper in `synapse/http/servlet.py` that builds
a short client-friendly message from the structured
`ValidationError.errors()` data instead of `str(e)`:

- `{}` against a model requiring `room_id` -> `Missing required field
'room_id'.`
- `{"room_id": 123}` -> `'room_id': Input should be a valid string.`
- nested models use dotted paths, e.g. `Missing required field
'put.room_id'.`
- multiple errors are joined: `Missing required field 'name'; Missing
required field 'put'.`

The `errcode` selection logic (`M_MISSING_PARAM` / `M_INVALID_PARAM` /
`M_BAD_JSON`) is unchanged.

Paul ChobertandEric Eastwood 3c46a10955 Stabilise MSC4222: support the stable use_state_after identifiers on /sync (#20170)
Part of #19414 (Support Matrix 1.16).

⚠️ Before merging, wait for the following PRs to be merged first:
- https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20081
- https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20169
- https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20171

---

Since Matrix 1.16, the
[spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.19/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3sync)
defines the stable identifiers for
[MSC4222](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4222):
the `use_state_after` query parameter on `GET /_matrix/client/v3/sync`,
and the `state_after` room response field:

> **`use_state_after`** — `boolean` — Controls whether to receive state
changes between the previous sync and the start of the timeline, or
between the previous sync and the end of the timeline. If this is set to
`true`, servers MUST respond with the state between the previous sync
and the end of the timeline in `state_after` and MUST omit `state`. […]
>
> **`state_after`** — […] Required if `use_state_after` was set to true
in the request, even if it is empty. Added in `v1.16`
>
> — [Matrix
Spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.19/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3sync)

Synapse so far only implemented the unstable identifiers
(`org.matrix.msc4222.use_state_after` /
`org.matrix.msc4222.state_after`), gated behind the `msc4222_enabled`
experimental flag and the per-user experimental features admin API.

This PR:

- accepts the stable `use_state_after` query parameter, unconditionally,
and responds with the stable `state_after` field. The unstable query
parameter is kept for a transition period; clients opting in with it get
the unstable response field name back, so unstable-era clients see an
unchanged wire format. If both parameters are set, the stable one wins.
- removes the `msc4222_enabled` experimental flag and the `msc4222`
per-user feature from the experimental features admin API, since the
behaviour is no longer gated.

694ad6bfa7 Fix leave event missing from state_after on incremental sync (#18793) (#20081)
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18793


When the last local user leaves a room, Synapse clears
`current_state_events` and writes `null` `event_id` entries into the
`current_state_delta_stream`. The incremental sync code for MSC4222's
state_after skipped those `null` deltas entirely, and
`get_current_state_ids` also returned nothing (table already cleared).
Result: clients using `state_after` never learned about the leave.

Fix by falling back to state groups (which are preserved) to look up the
actual state at `end_token` for any cleared state keys.

Jason RobinsonandEric Eastwood e36ce7df9b Filter out MSC4426 User Status profile fields for remote users (#20328)
Several clients, including Element Web/Desktop and Element X, have
already implemented
[MSC4426](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4426)
User Status profile fields. However, we have only implemented sending
profile fields down sync for local users
([MSC4429](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4429)/[MSC4262](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4262)),
since federation support for pushing profile field updates from server
to server has not yet been implemented
([MSC4259](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4259)).

This has created user confusion. The before mentioned clients use the
profile and/or profile field fetch endpoints to fetch missing profile
information, regardless of the user being local or remote. Since the
sync response isn't delivering these profiles, the client does a
fallback fetch, causing a one time update of the profile information
over federation.

This causes stale data to be cached in the client for the remote user,
which in the case of EW for example is never cleared.

This filtering should be temporary until MSC4259 is implemented and the
remote profile data also syncs via the profile update stream to clients.

I suggest making this not configurable so we don't have to maintain a
configuration property, as hopefully this would only be a case for a few
months at most.

Paul Chobert 42ddc70ea7 Remove the legacy mention push rules by default (#20220)
Part of #19415 (Support Matrix 1.17).

Companion test PRs:
- Complement: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/920
- Sytest: https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/pull/1430

**What this does:** `experimental_features.msc4210_enabled` default
value changed `true`
([MSC4210](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4210)).
The rest of the changes is fixing the tests, making sure test relying en
mentions sends the proper `m.mentions` attribute.

## Migration plan

Element Web has been writing both rule sets together since September
2023
([matrix-react-sdk#11667](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/11667),
[element-web@0d367a7c7e](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/commit/0d367a7c7e)),
so for its users `.m.rule.is_user_mention` and `.m.rule.is_room_mention`
already carry the same customisations as the legacy rules.

<strike>For everyone else, #20215 adds a background update that migrates
the overrides on the legacy rules to the intentional ones.</strike>

## Opt-out

```yaml
experimental_features:
  msc4210_enabled: false
```

Paul Chobert 46ff03f93a Reject modifying server-default push rules that are not served (#20202)
TLDR: `PUT` on a server-default push rule now applies the same existence
check that `GET` already does. A rule that is not served cannot be
modified.

Synapse ships some server-default push rules behind experimental feature
flags, so the set of server-default rules a user has depends on the
server's configuration. Most flags add rules that only exist while the
flag is on.
[MSC4210](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4210)
works the other way: it removes the three legacy mention rules while its
flag is on. The flags that change the set are:

- `msc1767_enabled`:
[MSC1767](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1767)
extensible events rules
- `msc3381_polls_enabled`:
[MSC3381](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3381)
poll rules
- `msc3664_enabled`:
[MSC3664](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3664)
reply rule
- `msc4028_push_encrypted_events`:
[MSC4028](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4028)
encrypted event rule
- `msc4306_enabled`:
[MSC4306](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4306)
thread subscription rules
- `msc4210_enabled`: removes `.m.rule.contains_display_name`,
`.m.rule.contains_user_name` and `.m.rule.roomnotif`

`GET /pushrules/` only lists the rules that exist for that
configuration. `GET` on a single rule that is not in the set returns
`404 M_NOT_FOUND`. The same set is used to evaluate notifications, and
to build the `m.push_rules` account data in `/sync`.

`PUT .../enabled` and `PUT .../actions` did not use that set. They
accepted any rule ID that Synapse knows about, whether or not the server
currently serves it. Clients could modify a rule the server had just
said did not exist. The request returned `200`, the change was stored,
and it was then ignored. Both endpoints now return `404 M_NOT_FOUND` for
such a rule, as [the spec
requires](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.19/client-server-api/#put_matrixclientv3pushrulesglobalkindruleidenabled)
for a rule that does not exist.

Before (`msc4210_enabled: true`):

```
GET /_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/.m.rule.roomnotif
  404 {"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND", "error": "..."}

PUT /_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/.m.rule.roomnotif/enabled
  {"enabled": false}
  200 {}
```

After:

```
GET /_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/.m.rule.roomnotif
  404 {"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND", "error": "..."}

PUT /_matrix/client/v3/pushrules/global/override/.m.rule.roomnotif/enabled
  {"enabled": false}
  404 {"errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND", "error": "Unknown rule"}
```

This is a no-op for default configurations. All of these flags are off
by default, and rules that are served are still modifiable as before.
