36ea65a1df fix(projects): hide linked pull requests the viewer cannot read (#40016)
Project board cards list the pull requests that reference their issue,
but loaded them without checking the viewer's access. A private pull
request mentioning a public issue showed its title, number and state on
that issue's board to anyone who can view the board, anonymous visitors
included.

Repository and organization boards now skip linked pull requests in
repositories where the viewer cannot read pull requests, matching how
the issue page already hides such references.

Shivansh Gargandsilverwind bcb4559c10 enhance(project): filter project milestones by linked issues (#39958)
The project milestone filter listed every milestone of the repo, or of
all accessible org repos for org projects, including ones with no issue
in the project. That made the dropdown noisy and unhelpful.

Both repo and org projects now list only milestones that have at least
one issue linked to the project, via a new `ProjectID` option on
`FindMilestoneOptions`.

Lunny Xiao c45af635e4 feat: Allow automatic project actions on events (#30205)
This PR introduces project workflows, allowing users to configure
event-based automations directly from the UI.
Users can define filters and actions for each workflow event, and
duplicate existing events when needed.

### Concepts

Every workflow is composed of `event`, `filters`, and `actions`.

- **Event** - An Event defines when a workflow should be triggered. It
represents specific activities such as an issue being added to the
project, a pull request being merged, or a project column being changed.
- **Filter** - A Filter refines when an event should take effect. It
allows users to specify conditions like issue type, labels, or project
columns to ensure actions only run in targeted scenarios.
- **Action** - An Action defines what happens when the event and filters
match. It performs operations such as adding labels, moving issues
between columns, or changing the issue or pull request state.

### Available Events

Currently, the following eight events are supported:

- On issues/pull requests closed
- On issues/pull requests reopened
- On issues/pull requests was added to the project, including when
created in it
- On issues/pull requests was removed from the project
- On issues/pull requests' column was changed
- On code changes requested
- On code review approved
- On pull request merged

Each event type supports its own set of filters and actions.

### Available Filters

There are four types of filters that can be configured for an event:

- **Apply to** - Specify the target type: `issues only`, `pull requests
only`, or `issues and pull requests`.
- **Labels** - Trigger the event only if the issue or pull request
contains one or more specified labels.
- **Move from column** - Filter events based on the original project
column.
- **Move to column** - Filter events based on the destination project
column.

### Available Actions

There are four types of actions that can be executed when an event is
triggered:

- **Add labels** - Automatically add one or more labels to the issue or
pull request.
- **Remove labels** - Remove one or more specified labels.
- **Move to column** - Move the issue or pull request to a designated
project column.
- **Issue state** - Close or reopen the issue. Pull requests can only be
closed.

### Enable/Disable an event workflow

Each event workflow can be individually enabled or disabled. When
disabled, the workflow will be ignored even if the event occurs. This
feature is useful when you want to temporarily stop certain automated
actions without deleting the workflow configuration. Workflows of closed
projects don't run either.

### Clone an event workflow

When you need multiple workflows for the same event, you can clone an
existing event to create a new one with different filters and actions.
This allows you to customize how the same event behaves under different
conditions, making workflows more flexible and powerful.

### Permissions

Permissions are checked when workflows are managed, not when they run:

- Viewing a project's workflows needs read access to the project
- Managing them needs write access to the project plus write access to
both issues and pull requests of a repository project's repository,
being an owner of an organization project's organization or a site
administrator, or being the user of a user project. Tokens limited to
public repositories can't manage owner-level projects' workflows
- A workflow runs when its event happens to an item of an open project
that can hold the item's repository, unless that repository is archived,
no matter who caused the event, and applies its actions without further
permission checks. Pull requests are never reopened
- Changes show as made by "Project workflow" on behalf of the user who
triggered the event and don't trigger other workflows
- Only users who can read an item can put it on a board or move its card

The management rule is also documented on `CanManageWorkflows` in
`services/projects/workflow.go`.

bircniandwxiaoguang ed4a23e893 enhance: inherit team access for all units (#38938)
Admin and write team authorize now grant that mode on every unit,
including units added later, instead of only rows present in
`team_unit`. Granular teams keep `authorize=none` and explicit unit
rows.

Closes the `TEAM-UNIT-PERMISSION` design gap from
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/34128.

Maybe also fix #15962 (actually maybe it had been fixed before, the root
cause is out-of-sync "access" table)

Enable [`forcetypeassert`](https://github.com/gostaticanalysis/forcetypeassert)
linter to prevent unchecked type assertions. ~650 issues fixed, most
fixes were clean, some use `setting.PanicInDevOrTesting`.

The only behaviour changes are where code would previously send a 500 error

f76f5207a7 feature to be able to filter project boards by milestones (#36321)
This pull request adds milestone filtering support to both repository
and organization project boards. Users can now filter project issues by
milestone, similar to how they filter by label or assignee. The
implementation includes backend changes to fetch and filter milestones,
as well as frontend updates to display a milestone filter dropdown in
the project board UI.

**Milestone filtering support:**

* Added support for filtering project board issues by milestone in both
repository and organization contexts, including handling for "no
milestone" and "all milestones" options. (`routers/web/repo/projects.go`

dropdown, displaying open and closed milestones and integrating with the
query string for filtering. (`templates/projects/view.tmpl`

# The problem
The previous implementation will start multiple POST requests from the
frontend when moving a column and another bug is moving the default
column will never be remembered in fact.

# What's changed

- [x] This PR will allow the default column to move to a non-first
position
- [x] And it also uses one request instead of multiple requests when
moving the columns
- [x] Use a star instead of a pin as the icon for setting the default
column action
- [x] Inserted new column will be append to the end
- [x] Fix #30701 the newly added issue will be append to the end of the
default column
- [x] Fix when deleting a column, all issues in it will be displayed
from UI but database records exist.
- [x] Add a limitation for columns in a project to 20. So the sorting
will not be overflow because it's int8.

On creation of an empty project (no template) a default board will be
created instead of falling back to the uneditable pseudo-board.

Every project now has to have exactly one default boards. As a
consequence, you cannot unset a board as default, instead you have to
set another board as default. Existing projects will be modified using a
cron job, additionally this check will run every midnight by default.

Deleting the default board is not allowed, you have to set another board
as default to do it.

know what is being added into the parameters.

wxiaoguang e0ea3811c4 Refactor AddParam to AddParamIfExist (#29834)
When read the code: `pager.AddParam(ctx, "search", "search")`, the
question always comes: What is it doing? Where is the value from? Why
"search" / "search" ?

Now it is clear: `pager.AddParamIfExist("search", ctx.Data["search"])`

wxiaoguang fb42972c05 Rename Str2html to SanitizeHTML and clarify its behavior (#29516)
Str2html was abused a lot. So use a proper name for it: SanitizeHTML

And add some tests to show its behavior.

wxiaoguang e71eb8930a Refactor some Str2html code (#29397)
This PR touches the most interesting part of the "template refactoring".

1. Unclear variable type. Especially for "web/feed/convert.go":
sometimes it uses text, sometimes it uses HTML.
2. Assign text content to "RenderedContent" field, for example: `
project.RenderedContent = project.Description` in web/org/projects.go
3. Assign rendered content to text field, for example: `r.Note =
rendered content` in web/repo/release.go
4. (possible) Incorrectly calling `{{Str2html
.PackageDescriptor.Metadata.ReleaseNotes}}` in
package/content/nuget.tmpl, I guess the name Str2html misleads
developers to use it to "render string to html", but it only sanitizes.
if ReleaseNotes really contains HTML, then this is not a problem.

Lunny Xiao 29f149bd9f Move context from modules to services (#29440)
Since `modules/context` has to depend on `models` and many other
packages, it should be moved from `modules/context` to
`services/context` according to design principles. There is no logic
code change on this PR, only move packages.

- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/context` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/context`
- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/contexttest` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/contexttest` because of depending on
context
- Move `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/upload` to
`code.gitea.io/gitea/services/context/upload` because of depending on
context

wxiaoguang f3eb835886 Refactor locale&string&template related code (#29165)
Clarify when "string" should be used (and be escaped), and when
"template.HTML" should be used (no need to escape)

And help PRs like  #29059 , to render the error messages correctly.

For those simple objects, it's unnecessary to write the find and count
methods again and again.

JakobDev cf0df023be More db.DefaultContext refactor (#27265)
Part of #27065

This PR touches functions used in templates. As templates are not static
typed, errors are harder to find, but I hope I catch it all. I think
some tests from other persons do not hurt.
