This ports the last upload fixes from `script/bulk_import/uploads_importer.rb` that the `disco upload` rework hadn't picked up yet, and fixes two optimizer queries that were reading columns the IntermediateDB doesn't have. From #39703 (S3 access control tags, secure uploads, larger limits): - The site settings step now also sets `max_image_megapixels`, `secure_uploads` and `s3_enable_access_control_tags` from the config file, and I added those three keys to `upload.yml.sample` with short comments. - The fixer's fake upload resource gains `secure?` and `optimized_images: []`, matching what the store needs. When the store is external and the file is still there, a `fix_missing` run now also calls `update_upload_access_control` so it repairs the S3 ACL and tags along the way. I resolve `external?` once in `before_run` instead of per row. From #33523 (optimizer guards): - The missing-upload lookup already returned early on nil, but it produced a generic error with no message. It now records a proper "could not find upload with sha1 …" error that gets reported. - The `e.stacktrace` bug is already gone after the rework: exceptions propagate to the retry policy and are recorded as errors, nothing calls the undefined `stacktrace` method anymore. Optimizer queries against the wrong schema: - The optimizer built its post/avatar id sets from `posts.upload_ids` and `users.avatar_upload_id`. Neither column exists in the current IntermediateDB schema, so both loaders came back empty and no post image or avatar was ever optimized. I rewrote them to read `post_uploads.upload_id` and `users.uploaded_avatar_id`, which is what the schema actually has. Added a spec that runs both loaders against a real IntermediateDB fixture. Note: the in-review posts branch (mt/discourse-posts-step) renames `post_uploads` to `embed_uploads`. Whichever of the two lands second needs to rebase this query onto the surviving table name. Sweep of the rest of the old script against the reworked tasks: the other bits (`OptimizedImage.lock_per_machine = false`, `Jobs.run_immediately!`, the avatar sizes loop, the optimizer's `remote_factor` worker count, and the surplus / missing delete flows) are all already covered by the rework. One difference I noticed but did not change: the old fixer always ran with double the worker count, while the reworked worker count only doubles for an external store. That looks intentional for a local store, so I left it. Also fixes a crash in the fixer that slipped in with the pipeline rework: its `produce` declared the keyword `_emit_result:` — the underscore doesn't mark a keyword as unused, it renames it, so the pipeline's `produce(emit_work:, emit_result:)` call raised ArgumentError as soon as anyone ran --fix-missing. A new contract spec checks all three tasks' `produce` signatures against the pipeline's call so this can't come back. |
