Summary:
Shares and documents would both produce a rule set for the same column
if the document rule set was for multiple columns. In this case, it was causing
one of the rules to be overwritten by the other (specifically, the rule granting
access to form references was not being applied in shares). The symptom was
`null` values in place of the referenced table's values.
We address this by splitting any rule sets for multiple columns that are also
affected by shares, so that they can be overridden by shares without causing a
conflicting rule set to be created (i.e. 2 column rule sets containing the same column).
Test Plan: Server tests.

The motivation for supporting an alternative to WebSockets is that while all browsers supported by Grist offer native WebSocket support, some networking environments do not allow WebSocket traffic.
Engine.IO is used as the underlying implementation of HTTP long polling. The Grist client will first attempt a regular WebSocket connection, using the same protocol and endpoints as before, but fall back to long polling using Engine.IO if the WebSocket connection fails.
Include these changes:
- CORS websocket requests are now rejected as a stronger security measure. This shouldn’t affect anything in practice; but previously it could be possible to make unauthenticated websocket requests from another origin.
- GRIST_HOST variable no longer affects CORS responses (also should not affect anything in practice, as it wasn't serving a useful purpose)
Summary:
- Add InstallAdmin class to identify users who can manage Grist installation.
This is overridable by different Grist flavors (e.g. different in SaaS).
It generalizes previous logic used to decide who can control Activation
settings (e.g. enable telemetry).
- Implement a basic Admin Panel at /admin, and move items previously in the
"Support Grist" page into the "Support Grist" section of the Admin Panel.
- Replace "Support Grist" menu items with "Admin Panel" and show only to admins.
- Add "Support Grist" links to Github sponsorship to user-account menu.
- Add "Support Grist" button to top-bar, which
- for admins, replaces the previous "Contribute" button and reopens the "Support Grist / opt-in to telemetry" nudge (unchanged)
- for everyone else, links to Github sponsorship
- in either case, user can dismiss it.
Test Plan: Shuffled some test cases between Support Grist and the new Admin Panel, and added some new cases.

Summary:
This gives a mechanism for controlling access control within a document that is distinct from (though implemented with the same machinery as) granular access rules.
It was hard to find a good way to insert this that didn't dissolve in a soup of complications, so here's what I went with:
* When reading rules, if there are shares, extra rules are added.
* If there are shares, all rules are made conditional on a "ShareRef" user property.
* "ShareRef" is null when a doc is accessed in normal way, and the row id of a share when accessed via a share.
There's no UI for controlling shares (George is working on it for forms), but you can do it by editing a `_grist_Shares` table in a document. Suppose you make a fresh document with a single page/table/widget, then to create an empty share you can do:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['AddRecord', '_grist_Shares', null, {linkId: 'xyz', options: '{"publish": true}'}])
```
If you look at the home db now there should be something in the `shares` table:
```
$ sqlite3 -table landing.db "select * from shares"
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| id | key | doc_id | link_id | options |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| 1 | gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K | 4qYuace1xP2CTcPunFdtan | xyz | ... |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
```
If you take the key from that (gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K in this case) and replace the document's urlId in its URL with `s.<key>` (in this case `s.gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K` then you can use the regular document landing page (it will be quite blank initially) or API endpoint via the share.
E.g. for me `http://localhost:8080/o/docs/s0gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K/share-inter-3` accesses the doc.
To actually share some material - useful commands:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Views_section').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Views_section', 1, {shareOptions: '{"publish": true, "form": true}'}])
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Pages').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Pages', 1, {shareRef: 1}])
```
For a share to be effective, at least one page needs to have its shareRef set to the rowId of the share, and at least one widget on one of those pages needs to have its shareOptions set to {"publish": "true", "form": "true"} (meaning turn on sharing, and include form sharing), and the share itself needs {"publish": true} on its options.
I think special shares are kind of incompatible with public sharing, since by their nature (allowing access to all endpoints) they easily expose the docId, and changing that would be hard.

After adding a batch of new server tests, some interactions between
tests have shown up via a shared database. This sets an existing flag
for dealing with this problem, that is used during browser tests but
hadn't been needed before for server tests.
Summary:
Fixes bug described in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1699643458649019
Decodes cell values obtained from `InfoView.get` when evaluating user-defined ACL formulas, i.e. the result of `rec.foo` in such a formula. In particular this is so that `rec.some_list` loses the leading `L` type code and behaves sensibly in an expression like `thing in rec.some_list`.
`InfoView.get` is called in many places, but for every usage I found other than here, leaving the cell values encoded was best.
Test Plan: Added two unit server tests. The first is for the main bug involving lists. The second checks the only other plausible way I could think of that this change affects behaviour, and it seems to be for the better since both tests failed before. Most operations involving non-primitive cell values don't do anything sensible with or without decoding, so behaviour shouldn't change meaningfully in those cases.

Summary:
- Node has a strong recommendation to assume bad state and exit promptly on
unhandled exceptions and rejections. We follow it, and only make an effort to
clean up before exiting, and to log the error in a more standard way.
- The only case seen in recent month of an unhandled rejection was for
attempting to write overly large JSON to a Client websocket. Ensure that's
handled, and add a test case that artificially reproduces this scenario.
Test Plan:
Added a test case for failing write to Client, and a test case that unhandled
errors indeed kill the server but with an attempt at cleanup.

Summary:
This adds support for bundling custom widgets with the Grist app, as follows:
* Adds a new `widgets` component to plugins mechanism.
* When a set of widgets is provided in a plugin, the html/js/css assets for those widgets are served on the existing untrusted user content port.
* Any bundled `grist-plugin-api.js` will be served with the Grist app's own version of that file. It is important that bundled widgets not refer to https://docs.getgrist.com for the plugin js, since they must be capable of working offline.
* The logic for configuring that port is updated a bit.
* I removed the CustomAttachedView class in favor of applying settings of bundled custom widgets more directly, without modification on view.
Any Grist installation via docker will need an extra step now, since there is an extra port that needs exposing for full functionality. I did add a `GRIST_TRUST_PLUGINS` option for anyone who really doesn't want to do this, and would prefer to trust the plugins and have them served on the same port.
Actually making use of bundling will be another step. It'll be important to mesh it with our SaaS's use of APP_STATIC_URL for serving most static assets.

Summary:
Add two shutdown-related timeouts.
1. One is to limit the duration of any work that happens once shutdown
begins. In particular, waiting for an update to current time could block
indefinitely if the data engine is unresponsive. Such awaits are now
limited to 5 seconds.
2. The other is to allow documents to get shutdown for inactivity even when
some work takes forever. Certain work (e.g. applying user actions)
generally prevents a document from shutting down while it's pending. This
prevention is now limited to 5 minutes.
Shutting down a doc while something is pending may break some
assumptions, and lead to errors. The timeout is long to let us assume
that the work is stuck, and that errors are better than waiting forever.
Other changes:
- Periodic ActiveDoc work (intervals) is now started when a doc finishes
loading rather than in the constructor. The difference only showed up in
tests which makes the intervals much shorter.
- Move timeoutReached() utility function to gutil, and use it for
isLongerThan(), since they are basically identical. Also makes sure that the
timer in these is cleared in all cases.
- Remove duplicate waitForIt implementation (previously had a copy in both
test/server and core/test/server).
- Change testUtil.captureLog to pass messages to its callback, to allow asserts
on messages within the callback.
Test Plan:
Added new unittests for the new shutdowns, including a replication
of a bad state that was possible during shutdown.
