This is a start at a page for diagnosing problems while setting up Grist. Starting to add some diagnostics based on feedback in github issues. We should make Grist installation easier! But when there is a problem it should be easier to diagnose than it is now, and this may help. The page is ugly and doesn't have many diagnostics yet, but we can iterate.
Visit `/boot` on a Grist server for tips on how to use this feature.
Summary:
Changes to building and serving:
- Remove unpkg dependencies, add npm module for swagger-ui-dist instead.
- Move apiconsole JS logic into core/app/client/apiconsole.ts, and use TypeScript.
- Add symlinks to swagger in static/ and core/static/.
- Refactor loadScript, and add loadCssFile; use these to load swagger-ui resources.
Changes to console itself:
- Support docId, workspaceId, orgId URL parameters. When present, the matching
value in dropdowns is moved to the front and marked as "(Current)".
- Fix the ordering of example values, particularly for workspaces.
- Remove unwanted example values.
- Hide confusing "Authorize" button.
- Hide API keys, and rely consistently on cookies for executing API calls.
Integration into Grist:
- Added a button to Document Settings, just under document ID in "API".
- The button opens a separate page, passing in org, workspace, and doc info for the current doc.
Test Plan: Only tested manually, no automated tests yet.

A small test harness bundle was recently added that is breaking the docker image build. It could be added to the docker image, but that would introduce a bunch of extraneous test file dependencies. So this tweaks the build to simply skip the test bundle if its primary source file is not found.
Also added some other test fixes along the way:
* make a custom widget test more reliable
* update a localization test now that `pt` exists
* store more log info in artifact on error
Summary:
This uses a newer version of mocha in grist-core so that tests can be run in parallel. That allows more tests to be moved without slowing things down overall. Tests moved are venerable browser tests; only the ones that "just work" or worked without too much trouble to are moved, in order to keep the diff from growing too large. Will wrestle with more in follow up.
Parallelism is at the file level, rather than the individual test.
The newer version of mocha isn't needed for grist-saas repo; tests are parallelized in our internal CI by other means. I've chosen to allocate files to workers in a cruder way than our internal CI, based on initial characters rather than an automated process. The automated process would need some reworking to be compatible with mocha running in parallel mode.
Test Plan: this diff was tested first on grist-core, then ported to grist-saas so saas repo history will correctly track history of moved files.

* Replace `ormconfig.js` with a newer mechanism of configuring
TypeORM that can be included in the source code properly.
The path to `ormconfig.js` has always been awkward to handle,
and eliminating the file makes building different Grist setups
a bit simpler.
* Remove `electron` package. It is barely used, just for some old
remnants of an older attempt at electron packaging. It was used
for two types, which I left at `any` for now. More code pruning is
no doubt possible here, but I'd rather do it when Electron packaging
has solidified.
* Add a hook for replacing the login system, and for adding some
extra middleware the login system may need.
* Add support for some more possible locations of Python, which
arise when a standalone version of it is included in the Electron
package. This isn't very general purpose, just configurations
that I found useful.
* Support using grist-core within a yarn workspace - the only tweak
needed was webpack related.
* Allow an external ID to be optionally associated with documents.
Summary:
Adds an activation page to grist-ee that currently shows activation status.
Follow-up diffs will introduce additional functionality, such as the ability to
enter activation keys directly from the activation page.
Test Plan: No grist-ee tests (yet).

Summary:
- Upgrades to build-related packages:
- Upgrade typescript, related libraries and typings.
- Upgrade webpack, eslint; add tsc-watch, node-dev, eslint_d.
- Build organization changes:
- Build webpack from original typescript, transpiling only; with errors still
reported by a background tsc watching process.
- Typescript-related changes:
- Reduce imports of AWS dependencies (very noticeable speedup)
- Avoid auto-loading global @types
- Client code is now built with isolatedModules flag (for safe transpilation)
- Use allowJs to avoid copying JS files manually.
- Linting changes
- Enhance Arcanist ESLintLinter to run before/after commands, and set up to use eslint_d
- Update eslint config, and include .eslintignore to avoid linting generated files.
- Include a bunch of eslint-prompted and eslint-generated fixes
- Add no-unused-expression rule to eslint, and fix a few warnings about it
- Other items:
- Refactor cssInput to avoid circular dependency
- Remove a bit of unused code, libraries, dependencies
Test Plan: No behavior changes, all existing tests pass. There are 30 tests fewer reported because `test_gpath.py` was removed (it's been unused for years)

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.

some MFA changes, but the UI is currently disabled and the
implementation is limited to software tokens (TOTP) only.

Updated browser tests for new profile page. Tests for MFAConfig
and CognitoClient will be added in a later diff, once the UI is enabled.

Summary:
* Remove adjustSession hack, interfering with loading docs under saml.
* Allow the anonymous user to receive an empty list of workspaces for
the merged org.
* Behave better on first page load when org is in path - this used to
fail because of lack of cookie. This is very visible in grist-core,
as a failure to load localhost:8484 on first visit.
* Mark cookie explicitly as SameSite=Lax to remove a warning in firefox.
* Make errorPages available in grist-core.
This changes the default behavior of grist-core to now start off in
anonymous mode, with an explicit sign-in step available. If SAML is not configured,
the sign-in operation will unconditionally sign the user in as a default
user, without any password check or other security. The user email is
taken from GRIST_DEFAULT_EMAIL if set. This is a significant change, but
makes anonymous mode available in grist-core (which is convenient
for testing) and makes behavior with and without SAML much more consistent.
Test Plan: updated test; manual (time to start adding grist-core tests though!)

The cssVars.ts file has changed to include some more knobs
for custom theming. This commit updates the file, and
introduces a `stubs` directory for stubbing code that is
specific to our deployments of Grist and not of general interest.
