Fixes a few typos / errors in commit a633890d8 that updated
these documentation articles on pull requests.
Also adjusts language around screenshots to match what we use
in the pull request template on GitHub for the zulip server and
web app repository.
Zulip Server 4.0 is now 22 months old, which is more than 18 months.
Per the general policy in the "Client apps" section below, that
means it's time to drop support for older versions.
We released 5.0 near the end of 2022-03, so near the end of 2023-09
we can update this further to say 5.0.
Since we are migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript
some files in the documentation are still with their
old extension. This commit changes those file extensions.
Adds a 'Tips and best practices' section to the documentation on
writing reviewable pull requests.
Also, updates step 3 of the documentation on creating pull requests
to link to the new section and to not have an out-of-date screenshot
of the GitHub pull request template.
Because `yarn.lock` includes transitive dependencies, it already pins
our dependencies more comprehensively than `package.json` would if we
followed this bad advice, which we don’t, as of commit
9b0401b76d (#13118).

This is the behaviour inherited from Django[^1]. While setting the
password to empty (`email_password = `) in
`/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf` also would suffice, it's unclear what
the user would have been putting into `EMAIL_HOST_USER` in that
context.
Because we previously did not warn when `email_password` was not
present in `zulip-secrets.conf`, having the error message clarify the
correct configuration for disabling SMTP auth is important.
Fixes: #23938.

The documentation for restoring backups referenced that it needed to
be to the same version of PostgreSQL, but did not explain how to do
that.
Link to the relevant section of the installer documentation, and name
the flag explicitly.
Fixes: #23691
This lets us simplify the long-ish ‘../../static/js’ paths, and will
remove the need for the ‘zrequire’ wrapper.

Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

These hooks are run immediately around the critical section of the
upgrade. If the upgrade fails for preparatory reasons, the pre-deploy
hook may not be run; if it fails during the upgrade, the post-deploy
hook will not be run. Hooks are called from the CWD of the new
deploy, with arguments of the old version and the new version. If
they exit with non-0 exit code, the deploy aborts.
Corepack manages multiple per-project version of Yarn and PNPM, which
means we have to maintain less installation code, and could help us
switch away from Yarn 1 without making the system unusable for
development of other Yarn 1 projects.

We will hopefully be able to just this in #16208 to document what
users need to configure in order to do this manually, but the content
here will be useful for anyone who hasn't set that up regardless.
This adds a new endpoint /jwt/fetch_api_key that accepts a JWT and can
be used to fetch API keys for a certain user. The target realm is
inferred from the request and the user email is part of the JWT.
A JSON containing an user API key, delivery email and (optionally)
raw user profile data is returned in response.
The profile data in the response is optional and can be retrieved by
setting the POST param "include_profile" to "true" (default=false).

- Updates `.prettierignore` for the new directory.
- Updates any reference to the API documentation directory for
markdown files to be `api_docs/` instead of `zerver/api/`.
- Removes a reference link from `docs/documentation/api.md` that
hasn't referenced anything in the text since commit 0542c60.
- Update rendering of API documentation for new directory.
- Renames "Customize Zulip" to "Server configuration".
- Cross-links "Server configuration" with "System and deployment
configuration".
Fixes part of #23984.
The `postfix.mailname` setting in `/etc/zulip.conf` was previously
only used for incoming mail, to identify in Postfix configuration
which messages were "local."
Also set `/etc/mailname`, which is used by Postfix to set how it
identifies to other hosts when sending outgoing email.

These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content,
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.
For descriptive endpoints, such as `/register`, that might raise
Schema Validation errors via `validate_against_openapi_schema`,
omits the OpenAPI schema definition in the error output.
Also omits the error instance definition in the error output
when it is a jsonschema object with over 100 properties. This
means that the test instance for objects, like user settings,
will be printed in the error output, but the test instance for
the entire endpoint will not be printed to the console.
The omitted output can be thousands of lines long making it
difficult to find the initial console output that actually helps
the contributor with debugging.
Adds a section in "Documenting REST API endpoints" about
debugging and understanding these errors that is linked to
in the error console output.
