+The following CI jobs for GitLab project run the rspecs tagged with `real_ai_request`:

+- `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo-chat-zeroshot`:
+ the job runs `ee/spec/lib/gitlab/llm/completions/chat_real_requests_spec.rb`.
+ The job is optionally triggered and allowed to fail.
+
+- `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo-chat-qa`:
+ The job runs the QA evaluation tests in
+ `ee/spec/lib/gitlab/llm/chain/agents/zero_shot/qa_evaluation_spec.rb`.
+ The job is optionally triggered and allowed to fail.
+ Read about [GitLab Duo Chat QA Evaluation Test](#gitlab-duo-chat-qa-evaluation-test).
+
+- `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo-chat-qa-fast`:
+ The job runs a single QA evaluation test from `ee/spec/lib/gitlab/llm/chain/agents/zero_shot/qa_evaluation_spec.rb`.
+ The job is always run and not allowed to fail. Although there's a chance that the QA test still might fail,
+ it is cheap and fast to run and intended to prevent a regression in the QA test helpers.

+- `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo pg14`:

+ The job is always run and not allowed to fail.

+### GitLab Duo Chat QA Evaluation Test
+
+Evaluation of a natural language generation (NLG) system such as
+GitLab Duo Chat is a rapidly evolving area with many unanswered questions and ambiguities.
+
+A practical working assumption is LLMs can generate a reasonable answer when given a clear question and a context.
+With the assumption, we are exploring using LLMs as evaluators
+to determine the correctness of a sample of questions
+to track the overall accuracy of GitLab Duo Chat's responses and detect regressions in the feature.
+
+For the discussions related to the topic,
+see [the merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/ai-assist/-/merge_requests/431)
+and [the issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/427251).
+
+The current QA evaluation test consists of the following components.
+
+#### Epic and issue fixtures
+
+The fixtures are the replicas of the _public_ issues and epics from projects and groups _owned by_ GitLab.
+The internal notes were excluded when they were sampled. The fixtures have been commited into the canonical `gitlab` repository.
+See [the snippet](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/snippets/3613745) used to create the fixtures.
+
+#### RSpec and helpers
+
+1. [The RSpec file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/spec/lib/gitlab/llm/chain/agents/zero_shot/qa_evaluation_spec.rb)
+ and the included helpers invoke the Chat service, an internal interface with the question.
+
+1. After collecting the Chat service's answer,
+ the answer is injected into a prompt, also known as an "evaluation prompt", that instructs
+ a LLM to grade the correctness of the answer based on the question and a context.
+ The context is simply a JSON serialization of the issue or epic being asked about in each question.
+
+1. The evaluation prompt is sent to two LLMs, Claude and Vertex.
+
+1. The evaluation responses of the LLMs are saved as JSON files.
+
+1. For each question, RSpec will regex-match for `CORRECT` or `INCORRECT`.
+
+#### Collection and tracking of QA evaluations via CI/CD automation
+
+The `gitlab` project's CI configurations have been setup to
+run the RSpec,
+collect the evaluation response as artifacts
+and execute [a reporter script](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/scripts/duo_chat/reporter.rb)
+that automates collection and tracking of evaluations.
+
+When `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo-chat-qa` job runs in a pipeline for a merge request,
+the reporter script uses the evaluations saved as CI artifacts
+to generate a Markdown report and posts it as a note in the merge request.
+
+When `rspec-ee unit gitlab-duo-chat-qa` is run in a pipeline for a commit on `master` branch,
+the reporter script instead
+posts the generated report as an issue,
+saves the evaluations artfacts as a snippet,
+and updates the tracking issue in
+[`gitlab-org/ai-powered/ai-framework/qa-evaluation#1`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ai-powered/ai-framework/qa-evaluation/-/issues/1)
+in the project [`gitlab-org/ai-powered/ai-framework/qa-evaluation`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ai-powered/ai-framework/qa-evaluation).

+# GitLab Duo Glossary
+
+This is a list of terms that may have a general meaning but also may have a
+specific meaning at GitLab. If you encounter a piece of technical jargon related
+to AI that you think could benefit from being in this list, add it!
+
+- **AI Gateway**: standalone service used to give access to AI features to
+ non-SaaS GitLab users. This logic will be moved to Cloud Connector when that
+ service is ready. Eventually, the AI Gateway will be used to host endpoints that
+ proxy requests to AI providers, removing the need for the GitLab Rails monolith
+ to integrate and communicate directly with third-party LLMs.
+ [Blueprint](../../architecture/blueprints/ai_gateway/index.md).
+- **Chat Evaluation**: automated mechanism for determining the helpfulness and
+ accuracy of GitLab Duo Chat to various user questions. The MVC is an RSpec test
+ run via GitLab CI that asks a set of questions to Chat and then has a
+ two different third-party LLMs determine if the generated answer is accurate or not.
+ [MVC](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/134610).
+ [Design doc for next iteration](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/136127).
+- **Cloud Connector**: Today, Cloud Connector is not a system. It is an umbrella
+ term for all the projects we engage in that make existing SaaS-only features
+ available to self-managed and GitLab Dedicated customers. Today, the only
+ feature available through Cloud Connector is Code Suggestions.
+ Cloud Connector also refer to a planned GitLab-hosted edge service which would
+ act as a way for non-SaaS GitLab instances to access SaaS offerings.
+ [Cloud Connector MVC](../cloud_connector/code_suggestions_for_sm.md).
+ [Blueprint for future Cloud Connector service](../../architecture/blueprints/cloud_connector/index.md).
+- **Consensus Filtering**: method for LLM evaluation where you instruct an LLM
+ to evaluate the output of another LLM based on the question and context that
+ resulted in the output. This is the method of evaluation being used for the Chat
+ Evaluation MVC.
+ [Issue from Model Validation team](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/prompt-library/-/issues/91#metric-2-consensus-filtering-with-llm-based-evaluation).
+- **Context**: relevant information that surrounds a data point, an event, or a
+ piece of information, which helps to clarify its meaning and implications.
+ For GitLab Duo Chat, context is the attributes of the Issue or Epic being
+ referenced in a user question.
+- **Golden Questions**: a small subset of the types of questions we think a user
+ should be able to ask GitLab Duo Chat. Used to generate data for Chat evaluation.
+ [Questions for Chat Beta](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/10550#what-the-user-can-ask).
+- **Ground Truth**: data that is determined to be the true
+ output for a given input, representing the reality that the AI model aims to
+ learn and predict. Ground truth data is usually human-annotated.
+- **Model Validation**: group within the AI-powered Stage working on the Prompt
+ Library and researching AI/ML models to support other use-cases for AI at GitLab.
+ [Team handbook section](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/features/#ai-poweredai-model-validation-group).
+- **Prompt library**: The ["Prompt Library"](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/prompt-library) is a Python library that provides a CLI for testing different prompting techniques with LLMs. It enables data-driven improvements to LLM applications by facilitating hypothesis testing. Key features include the ability to manage and run dataflow pipelines using Apache Beam, and the execution of multiple evaluation experiments in a single pipeline run.
+ on prompts with various third-party AI Services.
+ [Code](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/prompt-library).
+- **Prompt Registry**: stored, versioned prompts used to interact with third-party
+ AI Services. [Blueprint](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/135872).
+- **Prompt**: instructions sent to an LLM to perform certain tasks. [Prompt guidelines](prompts.md).
+- **RAG Pipeline**: (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is a mechanism used to take
+ an input (such as a user question) into a system, retrieve any relevant data
+ for that input, augment the input with additional context, and then
+ synthesize the information to generate a coherent, contextualy-relevant answer.
+ This design pattern is helpful in open-domain question answering with LLMs,
+ which is why we use this design pattern for answering questions to GitLab Duo Chat.
+- **Similarity Score**: method to determine the likeness between answers produced by an LLM and the reference ground truth answers.
+ [Issue from Model Validation team](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/prompt-library/-/issues/91#metric-1-similarity-score-as-comparisons-for-llms).
+- **Tool**: logic that performs a specific LLM-related task; each tool has a
+ description and its own prompt. [How to add a new tool](duo_chat.md#adding-a-new-tool).
+- **Word-Level Metrics**: method for LLM evaluation that compares aspects of
+ text at the granularity of individual words.
+ [Issue from Model Validation team](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/prompt-library/-/issues/98#metric-3-word-level-metrics).
+- **Zero-shot agent**: in the general world of AI, a learning model or system
+ that can perform tasks without having seen any examples of that task during
+ training. At GitLab, we use this term to refer specifically to a piece of our
+ code that serves as a sort of LLM-powered air traffic controller for GitLab Duo Chat.
+ The GitLab zero-shot agent has a system prompt that explains how an LLM should
+ interpret user input from GitLab Duo Chat as well as a list of tool descriptions.
+ Using this information, the agent determines which tool to use to answer a
+ user's question. The agent may decide that no tools are required and answer the
+ question directly. If a tool is used, the answer from the tool is fed back to
+ the zero-shot agent to evaluate if the answer is sufficient or if an additional
+ tool must be used to answer the question.
+ [Code](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6b747cbd7c6a71145a8bfb8201db3c857b5aed6a/ee/lib/gitlab/llm/chain/agents/zero_shot/executor.rb). [Zero-shot agent in action](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/427979).

-## CircuitBreaker
-
-The CircuitBreaker concern is a reusable module that you can include in any class that needs to run code with circuit breaker protection. The concern provides a `run_with_circuit` method that wraps a code block with circuit breaker functionality, which helps prevent cascading failures and improves system resilience. For more information about the circuit breaker pattern, see:
-
-- [What is Circuit breaker](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html).
-- [The Hystrix documentation on CircuitBreaker](https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-it-Works#circuit-breaker).
-
-### Use CircuitBreaker
-
-To use the CircuitBreaker concern, you need to include it in a class. For example:
-
-```ruby
-class MyService
- include Gitlab::Llm::Concerns::CircuitBreaker
-
- def call_external_service
- run_with_circuit do
- # Code that interacts with external service goes here
-
- raise InternalServerError
- end
- end
-end
-```
-
-The `call_external_service` method is an example method that interacts with an external service.
-By wrapping the code that interacts with the external service with `run_with_circuit`, the method is executed within the circuit breaker.
-The circuit breaker is created and configured by the `circuit` method, which is called automatically when the `CircuitBreaker` module is included.
-The method should raise `InternalServerError` error which will be counted towards the error threshold if raised during the execution of the code block.
-
-The circuit breaker tracks the number of errors and the rate of requests,
-and opens the circuit if it reaches the configured error threshold or volume threshold.
-If the circuit is open, subsequent requests fail fast without executing the code block, and the circuit breaker periodically allows a small number of requests through to test the service's availability before closing the circuit again.
-
-### Configuration
-
-The circuit breaker is configured with two constants which control the number of errors and requests at which the circuit will open:
-
-- `ERROR_THRESHOLD`
-- `VOLUME_THRESHOLD`
-
-You can adjust these values as needed for the specific service and usage pattern.
-The `InternalServerError` is the exception class counted towards the error threshold if raised during the execution of the code block.
-This is the exception class that triggers the circuit breaker when raised by the code that interacts with the external service.
-
-NOTE:
-The `CircuitBreaker` module depends on the `Circuitbox` gem to provide the circuit breaker implementation. By default, the service name is inferred from the class name where the concern module is included. Override the `service_name` method if the name needs to be different.
-
-### Testing
-
-To test code that uses the `CircuitBreaker` concern, you can use `RSpec` shared examples and pass the `service` and `subject` variables:
-
-```ruby
-it_behaves_like 'has circuit breaker' do
- let(:service) { dummy_class.new }
- let(:subject) { service.dummy_method }
-end
-```

# GraphQL API style guide
This document outlines the style guide for the GitLab [GraphQL API](../api/graphql/index.md).
+## Vision
+
+We want the GraphQL API to be the **primary** means of interacting
+programmatically with GitLab. To achieve this, it needs full coverage - anything
+possible in the REST API should also be possible in the GraphQL API.
+
+To help us meet this vision, the frontend should use GraphQL in preference to
+the REST API for new features.
+The GraphQL API is [versionless](https://graphql.org/learn/best-practices/#versioning).
+
+There are no plans to deprecate the REST API. To reduce the technical burden of
+supporting two APIs in parallel, they should share implementations as much as
+possible.

-## Validating arguments
+## Arguments
-For validations of single arguments, use the
-[`prepare` option](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/blob/master/guides/fields/arguments.md)
-as usual.
+[Arguments](https://graphql-ruby.org/fields/arguments.html) for a resolver or mutation are defined using `argument`.
-Sometimes a mutation or resolver may accept a number of optional
-arguments, but we still want to validate that at least one of the optional
-arguments is provided. In this situation, consider using the `#ready?`
-method in your mutation or resolver to provide the validation. The
-`#ready?` method is called before any work is done in the
-`#resolve` method.
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+argument :my_arg, GraphQL::Types::String,
+ required: true,
+ description: "A description of the argument."
+```
+
+### Nullability
+
+Arguments can be marked as `required: true` which means the value must be present and not `null`.
+If a required argument's value can be `null`, use the `required: :nullable` declaration.
Example:
```ruby
-def ready?(**args)
- if args.values_at(:body, :position).compact.blank?
- raise Gitlab::Graphql::Errors::ArgumentError,
- 'body or position arguments are required'
- end
+argument :due_date,

+In the above example, the `due_date` argument must be given, but unlike the GraphQL spec, the value can be `null`.
+This allows 'unsetting' the due date in a single mutation rather than creating a new mutation for removing the due date.
+
+```ruby
+{ due_date: null } # => OK
+{ due_date: "2025-01-10" } # => OK
+{ } # => invalid (not given)
+```
+
+#### Nullability and required: false
+
+If an argument is marked `required: false` the client is permitted to send `null` as a value.
+Often this is undesirable.
+
+If an argument is optional but `null` is not an allowed value, use validation to ensure that passing `null` returns an error:
+
+```ruby
+argument :name, GraphQL::Types::String,
+ required: false,
+ validates: { allow_null: false }
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you wish to allow `null` when it is not an allowed value, you can replace it with a default value:
+
+```ruby
+argument :name, GraphQL::Types::String,
+ required: false,
+ default_value: "No Name Provided",
+ replace_null_with_default: true
+```
+
+See [Validation](https://graphql-ruby.org/fields/validation.html),

- See [Adding field with resolver on a Type causes "Can't determine the return type " error on a different Type](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/3974#issuecomment-1084444214)
- and [Fix unresolved name due to cyclic definition](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/84202/diffs#diff-content-32d14251082fd45412e1fdbf5820e62d157e70d2).
-
- In particular, this can happen with `connection_type`. Typically we might use the following in a resolver:
-
- ```ruby
- type Types::IssueType.connection_type, null: true
- ```
-
- However this might cause a cyclic definition, which can result in errors like:
-
- ```ruby
- NameError: uninitialized constant Resolvers::GroupIssuesResolver
-
- or
-
- GraphQL::Pagination::Connections::ImplementationMissingError
- ```
-
- though you might see something different.
-
- To fix this, we must create a new file that encapsulates the connection type,
- and then reference it using double quotes. This gives a delayed resolution,
- and the proper connection type. For example:
-
- [app/graphql/resolvers/base_issues_resolver.rb](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/graphql/resolvers/base_issues_resolver.rb)
- originally contained the line
-
- ```ruby
- type Types::IssueType.connection_type, null: true
- ```
-
- Running the specs locally for this file caused the
- `NameError: uninitialized constant Resolvers::GroupIssuesResolver` error.
-
- The fix was to create a new file, [app/graphql/types/issue_connection.rb](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/graphql/types/issue_connection.rb) with the
- line:
-
- ```ruby
- Types::IssueConnection = Types::IssueType.connection_type
- ```
-
- and in [app/graphql/resolvers/base_issues_resolver.rb](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/graphql/resolvers/base_issues_resolver.rb)
- we use the line
-
- ```ruby
- type "Types::IssueConnection", null: true
- ```
-
- Only use this style if you are having spec failures. We should not typically
- use this pattern. This issue should disappear after we've upgraded to `2.x`.
-
-- There can be instances where a spec fails because the class is not loaded correctly.
- It relates to the
- [circular dependencies problem](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/1929) and
- [Adding field with resolver on a Type causes "Can't determine the return type " error on a different Type](https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/3974).
-
- Unfortunately, the errors generated don't really indicate what the problem is. For example,
- remove the quotes from the `Rspec.describe` in
- [ee/spec/graphql/resolvers/compliance_management/merge_requests/compliance_violation_resolver_spec.rb](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/spec/graphql/resolvers/compliance_management/merge_requests/compliance_violation_resolver_spec.rb).
- Then run `rspec ee/spec/graphql/resolvers/compliance_management/merge_requests/compliance_violation_resolver_spec.rb`.
-
- This generates errors with the expectations. For example:
-
- ```ruby
- 1) Resolvers::ComplianceManagement::MergeRequests::ComplianceViolationResolver#resolve user is authorized filtering the results when given an array of project IDs finds the filtered compliance violations
- Failure/Error: expect(subject).to contain_exactly(compliance_violation)
-
- expected collection contained: [#<MergeRequests::ComplianceViolation id: 4, violating_user_id: 26, merge_request_id: 4, reason: "approved_by_committer", severity_level: "low">]
- actual collection contained: [#<MergeRequests::ComplianceViolation id: 4, violating_user_id: 26, merge_request_id: 4, reason: "app...er_id: 27, merge_request_id: 5, reason: "approved_by_merge_request_author", severity_level: "high">]
- the extra elements were: [#<MergeRequests::ComplianceViolation id: 5, violating_user_id: 27, merge_request_id: 5, reason: "approved_by_merge_request_author", severity_level: "high">]
- # ./ee/spec/graphql/resolvers/compliance_management/merge_requests/compliance_violation_resolver_spec.rb:55:in `block (6 levels) in <top (required)>'
- ```
-
- However, this is not a case of the wrong result being generated, it's because of the loading order
- of the `ComplianceViolationResolver` class.
-
- The only way we've found to fix this is by quoting the class name in the spec. For example, changing
-
- ```ruby
- RSpec.describe Resolvers::ComplianceManagement::MergeRequests::ComplianceViolationResolver do
- ```
-
- into:
-
- ```ruby
- RSpec.describe 'Resolvers::ComplianceManagement::MergeRequests::ComplianceViolationResolver' do
- ```
-
- See [this merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/87295#note_946174036) for some discussion.
-
- Only use this style if you are having spec failures. We should not typically use this pattern.
- This issue may disappear after we've upgraded to `2.x`.
-
- When testing resolvers using `GraphqlHelpers#resolve`, arguments for the resolver can be handled two ways.
1. 95% of the resolver specs use arguments that are Ruby objects, as opposed to when using the GraphQL API

+# Application settings development
+
+This document provides a development guide for contributors to add application
+settings to GitLab.
+
+Application settings are stored in the `application_settings` table. Each setting has its own column and there should only be one row.
+
+## Add a new application setting
+
+First of all, you have to decide if it is necessary to add an application setting.
+Consider our [configuration principles](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-principles/#configuration-principles) when adding a new setting.
+
+To add a new setting, you have to:
+
+- Add a new column to the `application_settings` table.
+- Add the new setting to the [list of visible attributes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/app/helpers/application_settings_helper.rb#L215).
+- Add the new setting to it to [`ApplicationSettingImplementation#defaults`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/app/models/application_setting_implementation.rb#L36), if the setting has a default value.
+- Add a [test for the default value](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/spec/models/application_setting_spec.rb#L20), if the setting has a default value.
+- Add a validation for the new field to the [`ApplicationSetting` model](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/app/models/application_setting.rb).
+- Add a [model test](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/spec/models/application_setting_spec.rb) for the validation and default value
+- Find the [right view file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/26ad8f4086c03283814bda50ff6e7043902cdbff/app/views/admin/application_settings) or create a new one and add a form field to the new setting.
+- Update the [API documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6f33ad46ffeac454c6c9ce92d6ba328a72f062fd/doc/api/settings.md). Application settings will automatically be available on the REST API.

+### Database migration example
+
+```ruby
+class AddNewSetting < Gitlab::Database::Migration[2.1]

+
+ def up

+ end
+
+ def down
+ with_lock_retries do
+ remove_column :application_settings, :new_setting, if_exists: true

# Bitbucket Cloud importer developer documentation
-The Bitbucket Cloud importer can be configured with the `bitbucket_parallel_importer` feature flag. When the feature flag is:
-
-- Enabled, the importer uses Sidekiq to schedule work asynchronously.
-- Disabled, the importer does all the work in a single thread.
-
## Prerequisites
You must be authenticated with Bitbucket:

+# Bitbucket Server importer developer documentation
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To test imports, you need a Bitbucket Server instance running locally. For information on running a local instance, see
+[these instructions](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/manage/import-and-integrate/team/-/blob/main/integrations/bitbucket_server.md).
+
+## Code structure
+
+The importer's codebase is broken up into the following directories:
+
+- `lib/gitlab/bitbucket_server_import`: this directory contains most of the code such as
+ the classes used for importing resources.
+- `app/workers/gitlab/bitbucket_server_import`: this directory contains the Sidekiq
+ workers.
+
+## How imports advance
+
+When a Bitbucket Server project is imported, work is divided into separate stages, with
+each stage consisting of a set of Sidekiq jobs that are executed.
+
+Between every stage, a job called `Gitlab::BitbucketServerImport::AdvanceStageWorker`
+is scheduled that periodically checks if all work of the current stage is completed. If
+all the work is complete, the job advances the import process to the next stage.
+
+## Stages
+
+### 1. Stage::ImportRepositoryWorker
+
+This worker imports the repository and schedules the next stage when
+done.
+
+### 2. Stage::ImportPullRequestsWorker
+
+This worker imports all pull requests. For every pull request, a job for the
+`Gitlab::BitbucketImport::ImportPullRequestWorker` worker is scheduled.
+
+Bitbucket Server keeps tracks of references for open pull requests in
+`refs/heads/pull-requests`, but closed and merged requests get moved
+into hidden internal refs under `stash-refs/pull-requests`.
+
+As a result, they are not fetched by default. To prevent merge requests from not having
+commits and therefore having empty diffs, we fetch affected source and target
+commits from the server before importing the pull request.
+We save the fetched commits as refs so that Git doesn't remove them, which can happen
+if they are unused.
+Source commits are saved as `#{commit}:refs/merge-requests/#{pull_request.iid}/head`
+and target commits are saved as `#{commit}:refs/keep-around/#{commit}`.
+
+When creating a pull request, we need to match Bitbucket users with GitLab users for
+the author and reviewers. Whenever a matching user is found, the GitLab user ID is cached
+for 24 hours so that it doesn't have to be searched for again.
+
+### 3. Stage::ImportNotesWorker
+
+This worker imports notes (comments) for all merge requests.
+
+For every merge request, a job for the `Gitlab::BitbucketServerImport::ImportPullRequestNotesWorker`
+worker is scheduled which imports all standalone comments, inline comments, merge events, and
+approved events for the merge request.
+
+### 4. Stage::ImportLfsObjectsWorker
+
+Imports LFS objects from the source project by scheduling a
+`Gitlab::BitbucketServerImport::ImportLfsObjectsWorker` job for every LFS object.
+
+### 5. Stage::FinishImportWorker
+
+This worker completes the import process by performing some housekeeping
+such as marking the import as completed.
+
+## Pull request mentions
+
+Pull request descriptions and notes can contain @mentions to users. If a user with the
+same email does not exist on GitLab, this can lead to incorrect users being tagged.
+
+To get around this, we build a cache containing all users who have access to the Bitbucket
+project and then convert mentions in pull request descriptions and notes.

# Development guide for GitLab CI/CD templates
+NOTE:
+With the introduction of the [CI/CD Catalog](../../ci/components/index.md#cicd-catalog),
+GitLab is no longer accepting contributions of new CI/CD templates to the codebase. Instead,
+we encourage team members to create [CI/CD components](../../ci/components/index.md)
+for the catalog. This transition enhances the modularity and maintainability of our
+shared CI/CD resources, and avoids the complexities of contributing new CI/CD templates.
+If you need to update an existing template, you must also update the matching CI/CD component.
+If no component exists that matches the CI/CD template yet, consider creating the matching component.
+This ensures that template and component functionality remain in sync, aligning with
+our new development practices.

# Batched background migrations
@@ -258,6 +257,41 @@ Make sure the newly-created data is either migrated, or
saved in both the old and new version upon creation. Removals in
turn can be handled by defining foreign keys with cascading deletes.
+### Finalize a batched background migration
+
+Finalizing a batched background migration is done by calling
+`ensure_batched_background_migration_is_finished`.
+
+It is important to finalize all batched background migrations when it is safe
+to do so. Leaving around old batched background migration is a form of
+technical debt that needs to be maintained in tests and in application
+behavior. It is important to note that you cannot depend on any batched
+background migration being completed until after it is finalized.
+
+We recommend that batched background migrations are finalized after all of the
+following conditions are met:
+
+- The batched background migration is completed on GitLab.com
+- The batched background migration was added in or before the last [required stop](required_stops.md)
+
+The `ensure_batched_background_migration_is_finished` call must exactly match
+the migration that was used to enqueue it. Pay careful attention to:
+
+- The job arguments: Needs to exactly match or it will not find the queued migration
+- The `gitlab_schema`: Needs to exactly match or it will not find the queued
+ migration. Even if the `gitlab_schema` of the table has changed from
+ `gitlab_main` to `gitlab_main_cell` in the meantime you must finalize it
+ with `gitlab_main` if that's what was used when queueing the batched
+ background migration.
+
+When finalizing a batched background migration you also need to update the
+`finalized_by` in the corresponding `db/docs/batched_background_migrations`
+file. The value should be the timestamp/version of the migration you added to
+finalize it.
+
+See the below [Examples](#examples) for specific details on what the actual
+migration code should be.
+
### Use job arguments
`BatchedMigrationJob` provides the `job_arguments` helper method for job classes to define the job arguments they need.
@@ -654,6 +688,65 @@ index 4ae3622479f0800c0553959e132143ec9051898e..d556ec7f55adae9d46a56665ce02de78
Create a Draft merge request with your changes and trigger the manual `db:gitlabcom-database-testing` job.
+### Establish dependencies
+
+In some instances, migrations depended on the completion of previously enqueued BBMs. If the BBMs are
+still running, the dependent migration fails. For example: introducing an unique index on a large table can depend on
+the previously enqueued BBM to handle any duplicate records.
+
+The following process has been configured to make dependencies more evident while writing a migration.
+
+- Version of the migration that queued the BBM is stored in _batched_background_migrations_ table and in BBM dictionary file.
+- `DEPENDENT_BATCHED_BACKGROUND_MIGRATIONS` constant is added (commented by default) in each migration file.
+ To establish the dependency, add `queued_migration_version` of the dependent BBMs. If not, remove
+ the commented line.
+- `Migration::UnfinishedDependencies` cop complains if the dependent BBMs are not yet finished. It determines
+ whether they got finished by looking up the `finalized_by` key in the
+ [BBM dictionary](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/generators/batched_background_migration/templates/batched_background_migration_dictionary.template).
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+# db/post_migrate/20231113120650_queue_backfill_routes_namespace_id.rb
+class QueueBackfillRoutesNamespaceId < Gitlab::Database::Migration[2.1]
+ MIGRATION = 'BackfillRouteNamespaceId'
+
+ restrict_gitlab_migration gitlab_schema: :gitlab_main
+ ...
+ ...
+
+ def up
+ queue_batched_background_migration(
+ MIGRATION,
+ ...
+ )
+ end
+end
+```
+
+```ruby
+# This depends on the finalization of QueueBackfillRoutesNamespaceId BBM
+class AddNotNullToRoutesNamespaceId < Gitlab::Database::Migration[2.1]
+ DEPENDENT_BATCHED_BACKGROUND_MIGRATIONS = ["20231113120650"]
+
+ def up
+ add_not_null_constraint :routes, :namespace_id
+ end
+
+ def down
+ remove_not_null_constraint :routes, :namespace_id
+ end
+end
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- `BackgroundMigration::DictionaryFile` cop ensures the presence of `finalize_after` and `introduced_by_url` keys in the
+ BBM dictionary.
+ - `finalize_after`: Captures the (approximate) date after which the BBM is expected to be finalized.
+ - `introduced_by_url`: After the `finalize_after` date, an issue is created using the labels and author from `introduced_by_url`.
+ - As of writing (2023-08-11), issue [#424886](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/424886) is still open.

+Sidekiq workers leveraging ClickHouse databases should include the `ClickHouseWorker` module.
+This ensures that the worker is paused while database migrations are running,

ClickHouse is enabled on CI/CD but to avoid significantly affecting the pipeline runtime we've decided to run the ClickHouse server for test cases tagged with `:click_house` only.

+#### Usage in REST API with `paginate_with_strategies`
+
+For the REST API, the `paginate_with_strategies` helper can be used on a relation in order to use either keyset pagination or offset pagination.
+
+```ruby
+ desc 'Get the things related to a project' do
+ detail 'This feature was introduced in GitLab 16.1'
+ success code: 200, model: ::API::Entities::Thing
+ failure [
+ { code: 401, message: 'Unauthorized' },
+ { code: 403, message: 'Forbidden' },
+ { code: 404, message: 'Not Found' }
+ ]
+ end
+ params do
+ use :pagination
+ requires :project_id, type: Integer, desc: 'The ID of the project'
+ optional :cursor, type: String, desc: 'Cursor for obtaining the next set of records'
+ optional :order_by, type: String, values: %w[id name], default: 'id',
+ desc: 'Attribute to sort by'
+ optional :sort, type: String, values: %w[asc desc], default: 'desc', desc: 'Order of sorting'
+ end
+ route_setting :authentication

+
+ not_found! if project.blank?
+
+ things = project.things
+
+ present paginate_with_strategies(things), with: ::API::Entities::Thing
+ end
+```
+
+In order for keyset pagination to be used, the following conditions must be met:
+
+1. `params[:keyset]` must return `'keyset'`
+1. `params[:order_by]` and `params[:sort]` must both appear in the object returned by the
+ `supported_keyset_orderings` class method on the model. In the following example, `Thing`
+ supports keyset pagination when ordering by ID in either ascending or descending order.
+
+ ```ruby
+ class Thing < ApplicationRecord
+ def self.supported_keyset_orderings
+ { id: [:asc, :desc] }
+ end
+ end

- [Cross-database transactions](#fixing-cross-database-transactions)
- [Cross-database foreign keys](#foreign-keys-that-cross-databases)
+### Defining a sharding key for all cell-local tables
+
+All tables with the following `gitlab_schema` are considered "cell-local":
+
+- `gitlab_main_cell`
+- `gitlab_ci`
+
+All newly created cell-local tables are required to have a `sharding_key`
+defined in the corresponding `db/docs/` file for that table.
+
+The purpose of the sharding key is documented in the
+[Organization isolation blueprint](../../architecture/blueprints/organization/isolation.md),
+but in short this column is used to provide a standard way of determining which
+Organization owns a particular row in the database. The column will be used in
+the future to enforce constraints on data not cross Organization boundaries. It
+will also be used in the future to provide a uniform way to migrate data
+between Cells.
+
+The actual name of the foreign key can be anything but it must reference a row
+in `projects` or `groups`. The following are examples of valid sharding keys:
+
+- The table entries belong to a project only:
+
+ ```yaml
+ sharding_key:
+ project_id: projects
+ ```
+
+- The table entries belong to a project and the foreign key is `target_project_id`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ sharding_key:
+ target_project_id: projects
+ ```
+
+- The table entries belong to a namespace/group only:
+
+ ```yaml
+ sharding_key:
+ namespace_id: namespaces
+ ```
+
+- The table entries belong to a namespace/group only and the foreign key is `group_id`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ sharding_key:
+ group_id: namespaces
+ ```
+
+- The table entries belong to a namespace or a project:
+
+ ```yaml
+ sharding_key:
+ project_id: projects
+ namespace_id: namespaces
+ ```
+
+#### The sharding key must be immutable
+
+The choice of a `sharding_key` should always be immutable. Therefore, if your feature
+requires a user experience which allows data to be moved between projects or
+groups/namespaces, then you may need to redesign the move feature to create new rows. An
+example of this can be seen in the
+[move an issue feature](../../user/project/issues/managing_issues.md#move-an-issue).
+This feature does not actually change the `project_id` column for an existing
+`issues` row but instead creates a new `issues` row and creates a link in the
+database from the original `issues` row. If there is a particularly challenging
+existing feature that needs to allow moving data you will need to reach out to
+the Tenant Scale team early on to discuss options for how to manage the
+sharding key.
+
+#### Using the same sharding key for projects and namespaces
+
+Developers may also choose to use `namespace_id` only for tables that can
+belong to a project where the feature used by the table is being developed
+following the
+[Consolidating Groups and Projects blueprint](../../architecture/blueprints/consolidating_groups_and_projects/index.md).
+In that case the `namespace_id` would need to be the ID of the
+`ProjectNamespace` and not the group that the namespace belongs to.
+
+#### Defining a `desired_sharding_key` for automatically backfilling a `sharding_key`
+
+We need to backfill a `sharding_key` to hundreds of tables that do not have one.
+This process will involve creating a merge request like
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/136800> to add the new
+column, backfill the data from a related table in the database, and then create
+subsequent merge requests to add indexes, foreign keys and not-null
+constraints.
+
+In order to minimize the amount of repetitive effort for developers we've
+introduced a concise declarative way to describe how to backfill the
+`sharding_key` for this specific table. This content will later be used in
+automation to create all the necessary merge requests.
+
+An example of the `desired_sharding_key` was added in
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/139336> and it looks like:
+
+```yaml
+--- # db/docs/security_findings.yml
+table_name: security_findings
+classes:
+- Security::Finding
+
+...
+
+desired_sharding_key:
+ project_id:
+ references: projects
+ backfill_via:
+ parent:
+ foreign_key: scanner_id
+ table: vulnerability_scanners
+ sharding_key: project_id
+ belongs_to: scanner
+```
+
+To understand best how this YAML data will be used you can map it onto
+the merge request we created manually in
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/136800>. The idea
+will be to automatically create this. The content of the YAML specifies
+the parent table and its `sharding_key` to backfill from in the batched
+background migration. It also specifies a `belongs_to` relation which
+will be added to the model to automatically populate the `sharding_key` in
+the `before_save`.
+
+There are likely edge cases where this `desired_sharding_key` structure is not
+suitable for backfilling a `sharding_key`. In such cases the team owning the
+table will need to create the necessary merge requests to add the
+`sharding_key` manually.
+
### The impact of `gitlab_schema`

+# Metadata
+
+Each documentation Markdown page contains YAML front matter.
+All values in the metadata are treated as strings and are used for the
+docs website only.
+
+## Stage and group metadata
+
+Each page should have metadata related to the stage and group it
+belongs to, as well as an information block. For example:
+
+```yaml
+---
+stage: Example Stage
+group: Example Group
+info: To determine the technical writer assigned to the Stage/Group associated with this page, see https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#assignments
+---
+```
+
+To populate the metadata, include this information:
+
+- `stage`: The [Stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages)
+ that the majority of the page's content belongs to.
+- `group`: The [Group](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#product-groups)
+ that the majority of the page's content belongs to.
+- `info`: How to find the Technical Writer associated with the page's stage and
+ group.
+
+## Additional metadata
+
+The following metadata is optional and is not actively maintained.
+
+- `description`: A short description of what the page is about. See the Google [Best practices for creating quality meta descriptions](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/snippet#meta-descriptions) for writing tips. This content can be used in search result snippets and is shown in social media previews.
+- `feedback`: Set to `false` to not include the "Help & Feedback" footer.
+- `noindex`: Set to `false` to prevent the page from being indexed by search engines.
+- `redirect_to`: Used to control redirects. For more information, see [Redirects in GitLab documentation](redirects.md).
+- `searchbar`: Set to `false` to not include the search bar in the page header.
+- `toc`: Set to `false` to not include the "On this page" navigation.
+
+## Batch updates for TW metadata
+
+The [`CODEOWNERS`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/CODEOWNERS)
+file contains a list of files and the associated technical writers.
+
+When a merge request contains documentation, the information in the `CODEOWNERS` file determines:
+
+- The list of users in the **Approvers** section.
+- The technical writer that the GitLab Bot pings for community contributions.
+
+You can use a Rake task to update the `CODEOWNERS` file.
+
+### Update the `CODEOWNERS` file
+
+When groups or [TW assignments](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#assignments)
+change, you must update the `CODEOWNERS` file:
+
+1. Update the [stage and group metadata](#stage-and-group-metadata) for any affected doc pages, if necessary. If there are many changes, you can do this step in a separate MR.
+1. Update the [`codeowners.rake`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/tasks/gitlab/tw/codeowners.rake) file with the changes.
+1. Go to the root of the `gitlab` repository.
+1. Run the Rake task with this command: `bundle exec rake tw:codeowners`
+1. Review the changes in the `CODEOWNERS` file.
+1. Add and commit all your changes and push your branch up to `origin`.
+1. Create a merge request and assign it to a technical writing manager for review.
+
+When you update the `codeowners.rake` file:
+
+- To specify multiple writers for a single group, use a space between writer names. Files are assigned to both writers.
+
+ ```ruby
+ CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', '@writer1 @writer2'),
+ ```
+
+ - To assign different writers within a group to docs in different directories, use the `path` parameter to specify a directory:
+
+ ```ruby
+ CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', ->(path) { path.start_with?('/doc/user') ? '@writer1' : '@writer2' }),
+ ```
+
+ In this example, `writer1` is a code owner for files related to this group that are in `/doc/user`.
+ For everything else, `writer2` is made code owner. For an example, see [MR 127903](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/127903).
+
+- For a group that does not have an assigned writer, include the group name in the file and comment out the line:
+
+ ```ruby
+ # CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', ''),
+ ```

+### Active voice
-### Deprecated metadata
+In most cases, text is easier to understand and to translate if you use active voice instead of passive.
-The `type` metadata parameter is deprecated but still exists in documentation
-pages. You can remove the `type` metadata parameter and its values.
+For example, use:
-### Batch updates for TW metadata
+- The developer writes code for the application.
-The [`CODEOWNERS`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/CODEOWNERS)
-file contains a list of files and the associated technical writers.
+Instead of:
-When a merge request contains documentation, the information in the `CODEOWNERS` file determines:
+- Application code is written by the developer.
-- The list of users in the **Approvers** section.
-- The technical writer that the GitLab Bot pings for community contributions.
+Sometimes, using `GitLab` as the subject can be awkward. For example, `GitLab exports the report`.
+In this case, you can use passive voice instead. For example, `The report is exported`.
-You can use a Rake task to update the `CODEOWNERS` file.
+### Customer perspective
-#### Update the `CODEOWNERS` file
+Focus on the functionality and benefits that GitLab brings to customer,
+rather than what GitLab has created.
-When groups or [TW assignments](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#assignments)
-change, you must update the `CODEOWNERS` file:
+For example, use:
-1. Update the [stage and group metadata](#stage-and-group-metadata) for any affected doc pages, if necessary. If there are many changes, you can do this step in a separate MR.
-1. Update the [`codeowners.rake`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/tasks/gitlab/tw/codeowners.rake) file with the changes.
-1. Go to the root of the `gitlab` repository.
-1. Run the Rake task with this command: `bundle exec rake tw:codeowners`
-1. Review the changes in the `CODEOWNERS` file.
-1. Add and commit all your changes and push your branch up to `origin`.
-1. Create a merge request and assign it to a technical writing manager for review.
+- Use merge requests to compare code in the source and target branches.
-When you update the `codeowners.rake` file:
+Instead of:
-- To specify multiple writers for a single group, use a space between writer names. Files are assigned to both writers.
+- GitLab allows you to compare code.
+- GitLab created the ability to let you compare code.
+- Merge requests let you compare code.
- ```ruby
- CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', '@writer1 @writer2'),
- ```
+Words that indicate you are not writing from a customer perspective are
+[allow and enable](word_list.md#allow-enable). Try instead to use
+[you](word_list.md#you-your-yours) and to speak directly to the user.
- - To assign different writers within a group to docs in different directories, use the `path` parameter to specify a directory:
+### Building trust
- ```ruby
- CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', ->(path) { path.start_with?('/doc/user') ? '@writer1' : '@writer2' }),
- ```
+Product documentation should be focused on providing clear, concise information,
+without the addition of sales or marketing text.
- In this example, `writer1` is a code owner for files related to this group that are in `/doc/user`.
- For everything else, `writer2` is made code owner. For an example, see [MR 127903](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/127903).
+- Do not use words like [easily](word_list.md#easily) or [simply](word_list.md#simply-simple).
+- Do not use marketing phrases like "This feature will save you time and money."
-- For a group that does not have an assigned writer, include the group name in the file and comment out the line:
+Instead, focus on facts and achievable goals. Be specific. For example:
- ```ruby
- # CodeOwnerRule.new('Group Name', ''),
- ```
-
-## Language
-
-GitLab documentation should be clear and easy to understand.
-
-- Avoid unnecessary words.
-- Be clear, concise, and stick to the goal of the topic.
-- Write in US English with US grammar. (Tested in [`British.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/.vale/gitlab/British.yml).)

+# Get started page type
+
+A **Get started** page is meant to introduce high-level concepts for a broad feature area.
+While a specific feature might be defined in the feature documentation,
+a **Get started** page is meant to give an introduction to a set of concepts.
+When you group the concepts together, you help the user see how they fit together.
+
+A **Get started** page should familiarize the reader with terms and then quickly
+point them to actions they can take to get started. Hopefully the actions are
+task-based, but the next step can also be to learn more.
+
+## When to use a Get started page
+
+A **Get started** page should be used only for a larger concept,
+like CI/CD or security. In general, we describe features in concept topics.
+However, if you find you want to explain how multiple concepts fit together,
+then a **Get started** page might be what you need.
+
+To determine if a **Get started** page makes sense, make a list
+of the common terms you expect to include. If you have more than four or five,
+then this page type might make sense.
+
+A **Get started** page is different from a tutorial. It's conceptual, while
+a tutorial helps the user achieve a task. A **Get started** page should point
+to tutorials, however, because tutorials are a great way for a user to get started.
+
+## Format
+
+Get started pages should be in this format:
+
+```markdown
+# Get started with abc
+
+Abc is a thing you use to do xyz. You might use it when you need to blah,
+and it can be helpful for etc.
+
+## Common terms
+
+If you're new to abc, start by reviewing some of the most commonly used terms.
+
+### First term
+
+This thing is this. Describe what it is, not how to do it.
+
+**Get started:**
+
+- [Create your first abc](LINK).
+- [Learn more about abc](LINK).
+
+### Second term
+
+This thing is this. Describe what it is, not how to do it.
+
+**Get started:**
+
+- [Create your first abc](LINK).
+- [Learn more about abc](LINK).
+
+## Videos
+
+- [Video 1](LINK).
+- [Video 2](LINK).
+
+## Related topics
+
+- [Link 1](LINK).
+- [Link 2](LINK).
+```
+
+- Follow [the video guidance](../styleguide/index.md#link-to-video)
+ for the links in the Video topic.
+- Do not use links inline with content (as part of sentences).
+ Use them where links are specified only.
+- The terms described on this page can exist elsewhere in the docs.
+ However, the term descriptions on this page should be relatively brief.
+
+## Get started page titles
+
+For the title, use `Get started with topic_name`.
+
+For the left nav, use `Getting started`.
+
+## Example
+
+For an example of the Get started page type,
+see [Get started with GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md).

-when appropriate by adding an entry to this section.
+## Documenting decisions
+
+When building new features, consider the scope and scale of what you are about to build. Depending on the answer, there are several tools or processes that could support your endeavor. We aim to keep the process of building features as efficient as possible. As a general rule, use the simplest process possible unless you need the additional support and structure of more time consuming solutions.
+
+### Merge requests
+
+When a change impacts is limited within a group or has a single contributor, the smallest possible documentation of architecture decisions is a commit and by extension a merge request (MR). MRs or commits can still be referenced even after they are merged, so it is vital to leave a good description, comments and commit messages to explain certain decisions in case it needs to be referenced later. Even a MR that is intended to be reviewed within a group should contain all relevant decision-making explicitly.
+
+### Architectural Issue
+
+When a unit of work starts to get big enough that it might impact an entire group's direction, it may be a good idea to create an architecture issue to discuss the technical direction. This process is informal and has no official requirements. Create an issue within the GitLab project where you can propose a plan for the work to be done and invite collaborators to refine the proposal with you.
+
+This structure allows the group to think through a proposed change, gather feedback and iterate. It also allows them to use the issue as a source of truth rather than a comments thread on the feature issue or the MRs themselves. Consider adding some kind of visual support (like a schema) to facilitate the discussion. For example, you can reference this [architectural issue of the CI/CD Catalog](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/393225).
+
+### Design Documents
+
+When the work ahead may affect more than a single group, stage or potentially an entirement department (for example, all of the Frontend team) then it is likely that there is need for a [Design Document](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/architecture/workflow/).
+
+This is well documented in the handbook, but to touch on it shortly, it is **the best way** to propose large changes and gather the required feedback and support to move forward. These documents are version controlled, keep evolving with time and are a great way to share a complex understanding across the entire organization. They also require a coach, which is a great way to involve someone with a lot of experience with larger changes. This process is shared across all engineering departments and is owned by the CTO.
+
+To see all Design Documents, you can check the [Architecture at GitLab page](../../architecture/index.md)
+
+### Frontend RFCs (deprecated)
+
+In the past, we had a [Frontend RFC project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/rfcs) which goal was to propose larger changes and get opinions from the entire department. This project is no longer used for a couple of reasons:
+
+1. Issues created in this project had a very low participation rate (less than 20%)
+1. Controversial issues would stall with no clear way to resolve them
+1. Issues that were completed often did not need a RFC in the first place (small issues)
+1. Changes were often proposed "naively" without clear time and resource allocation
+
+In most instances where we would have created a RFC, a Design Document can be used instead as it will have it's own RFC attached to it. This makes the conversation centered around the technical design and RFCs are just a way to further the completion of the design.
+
+### Entry in the Frontend documentation
+
+Adding an architecture section to the docs is a way to tell frontend engineers how to use or build upon an existing architecture. Use it to help "onboard" engineers to a part of the application that may not be self-evident. Try to avoid documenting your group's architecture here if it has no impact on other teams.
+
+### Which to choose?
+
+As a general rule, the wider the scope of your change, the more likely it is that you and your team would benefit from a Design Document. Also consider whether your change is a true two-way door decision: changes that can easily be reverted require less thinking ahead than those that cannot.
+
+Work that can be achieved within a single milestone probably only needs Merge requests. Work that may take several milestone to complete, but where you are the only DRI is probably also easier done through MRs.
+
+When multiple DRIs are involved, ask yourself if the work ahead is clear for all of you. If the work you do is complex and affects each others, consider gathering technical feedback from your team before you start working on an Architectural issue. Write a clear proposal, involve all stakeholders early and keep yourselves accountable to the decisions made on the issue.
+
+Very small changes may have a very broad impact. For example, a change to any ESLint rule will impact all of engineering, but might not require a Design Document. Consider sending your proposal through Slack to gauge interest ("Should we enable X rule?") and then simply create a MR. Finally, share widely to the appropriate channels to gather feedback.
+
+For recommending certain code patterns in our documentation, you can write the MR that apply your proposed change, share it broadly with the department and if no strong objections are raised, merge your change. This is more efficient than RFCs because of the bias for action, while also gathering all the feedback necessary for everyone to feel included.
+
+If you'd like to propose a major change to the technological stack (Vue to React, JavaScript to TypeScript, etc.), start by reaching out on Slack to gauge interest. Always ask yourself whether or not the problems that you see can be fixed from our current tech stack, as we should always try to fix our problems with the tools we already have. Other departments, such as Backend and QA, do not have a clear process to propose technological changes either. That is because these changes would require huge investements from the company and probably cannot be decided without involving high-ranking executives from engineering.
+
+Instead, consider starting a Design Document that explains the problem and try to solve it with our current tools. Invite contribution from the department and research this thoroughly as there can only be two outcomes. Either the problem **can** be solved with our current tools or it cannot. If it can, this is a huge with for our teams since we've fixed and issue without the need to completly change our stack, and if it cannot, then the Design Document can be the start of the larger conversation around the technological change.

+[vendored `sidekiq-reliable-fetcher` gem](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/vendor/gems/sidekiq-reliable-fetch/README.md)

+
+This limit offers protection from jobs that can never be completed in

+For large imports, our GitHub [stage](#stages) workers (namespaced in

-Where:
-
-- `time_frames`: Valid options are `7d` and `28d` if you provide a `unique` value and `all` for metrics without `unique`. We are working to make `7d` and `28d` work for metrics with `all` time frame in [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/411264).
-- `unique`: Valid options are `user.id`, `project.id`, and `namespace.id`, as they are logged as part of the standard context. We [are actively working](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/411255) on a way to define uniqueness on arbitrary properties sent with the event, such as `merge_request.id`.
+This CLI will help you create the correct defintion files based on your specific use-case, then provide code examples for instrumentation and testing.

This method automatically increments all RedisHLL metrics relating to the event `i_code_review_user_apply_suggestion`, and sends a corresponding Snowplow event with all named arguments and standard context (SaaS only).
+If you have defined a metric with a `unique` property such as `unique: project.id` it is required that you provide the `project` argument.

+It is encouraged to fill out as many of `user`, `namespace` and `project` as possible as it increases the data quality and make it easier to define metrics in the future.
+
+If a `project` but no `namespace` is provided, the `project.namespace` is used as the `namespace` for the event.

### Frontend tracking
+Any frontend tracking call automatically passes the values `user.id`, `namespace.id`, and `project.id` from the current context of the page.

+info: Detailing the process to add a new mergeability check
+---
+
+# Mergeability framework
+
+The initial work started with the [better defined mergeability framework](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5598)
+
+Originally, the mergeability knowledge was spread throughout the backend and frontend.
+This work was to consolidate some of the mergeability criteria into the same location
+in the backend. This allows the frontend to simply consume the API and display the error.
+
+## Add a new check
+
+The mergeability checks live under `app/services/merge_requests/mergeability/`.
+
+1. To create a new check, we can use this as a base:
+
+ ```ruby
+ # frozen_string_literal: true
+ module MergeRequests
+ module Mergeability
+ class CheckCiStatusService < CheckBaseService
+ identifier :ci_must_pass
+ description 'Checks whether CI has passed'
+
+ def execute
+ # If the merge check is behind a setting, we return inactive if the setting is false
+ return inactive unless merge_request.only_allow_merge_if_pipeline_succeeds?
+
+ if merge_request.mergeable_ci_state?
+ success
+ else
+ failure
+ end
+ end
+
+ def skip?
+ # Here we can check for the param or return false if its not skippable
+ # Skippablility of an MR is related to merge when checks pass functionality
+ params[:skip_ci_check].present?
+ end
+
+ def cacheable?
+ false
+ end
+ end
+ end
+ end
+ ```
+
+1. Add the new check in the `def mergeable_state_checks` method.
+1. Add the new check to the GraphQL enum `app/graphql/types/merge_requests/detailed_merge_status_enum.rb`.
+1. Update the GraphQL documentation with `bundle exec rake gitlab:graphql:compile_docs`.
+1. Update the API documentation in `doc/api/merge_requests.md`.
+1. Update the frontend to support the new message: `app/assets/javascripts/vue_merge_request_widget/components/checks/message.vue`.
+
+## Considerations
+
+1. **Should it be skippable?** If it is part of the merge when checks pass work,
+ then we should add the skippable check. Otherwise, you should return `false`.
+1. **Performance**: These mergeability checks are run very frequently, and therefore
+ performance is a big consideration here. It is critical to check how the new
+ mergeability check performs. In general, we are expecting around 10-20 ms.
+1. **Caching is an option too.** We can set the `def cacheable?` method to return `true`,
+ and in that case, we need to create another method `def cache_key` to set the
+ cache key for the particular check. Cache invalidation can often be tricky,
+ and we must consider all the edge cases in the cache key. If we keep the timing
+ around 10-20 ms, then caching is not needed.
+1. **Time the checks.** We time each check through the `app/services/merge_requests/mergeability/logger.rb`
+ class, which can then be viewed in Kibana.
+
+## How the classes work together
+
+1. The main methods that call the mergeability framework are: `def mergeable?`, and `DetailedMergeStatusService`.
+1. These methods call the `RunChecksService` class which handles the iterating
+ of the mergeability checks, caching and instrumentation.
+
+## Future work
+
+1. At the moment, the slow performance of the approval check is the main area of
+ concern. We have attempted to make this check cacheable, but there are a lot of
+ edge cases to consider in regard to when it is invalid.

### Privilege escalation consideration
A base role typically has permissions that allow creation or management of artifacts corresponding to the base role when interacting with that artifact. For example, when a `Developer` creates an access token for a project, it is created with `Developer` access encoded into that credential. It is important to keep in mind that as new custom permissions are created, there might be a risk of elevated privileges when interacting with GitLab artifacts, and appropriate safeguards or base role checks should be added.

+# Push Rules development guidelines
+
+This document was created to help contributors understand the code design of
+[Push Rules](../../user/project/repository/push_rules.md). You should read this
+document before making changes to the code for this feature.
+
+This document is intentionally limited to an overview of how the code is
+designed, as code can change often. To understand how a specific part of the
+feature works, view the code and the specs. The details here explain how the
+major components of the Push Rules feature work.
+
+NOTE:
+This document should be updated when parts of the codebase referenced in this
+document are updated, removed, or new parts are added.
+
+## Business logic
+
+The business logic is contained in two main places. The `PushRule` model stores
+the settings for a rule and then we have checks that use those settings to
+change the push behavior.
+
+- `PushRule`: the main model used to store the configuration of each push rule.
+ - Defined in `ee/app/models/push_rule.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`: Diff check prevents filenames matching the
+ push rule's `file_name_regex` and also files with names matching known secret
+ files, for example `id_rsa`.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/diff_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck`: Executes various push rule checks.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rule_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::BranchCheck`: Executes push rule checks
+ related to branch rules.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rules/branch_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::CommitCheck`: Executes push rule checks
+ related to commit rules.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rules/commit_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::FileSizeCheck`: Executes push rule checks
+ related to file size rules.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rules/file_size_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::SecretsCheck`: Executes push rule checks
+ related to secrets rules.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rules/secrets_check.rb`.
+- `EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::TagCheck`: Executes push rule checks
+ related to tag rules.
+ - Defined in `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/checks/push_rules/tag_check.rb`.
+
+## Entrypoints
+
+The following controllers and APIs are all entrypoints into the push rules logic:
+
+- `Admin::PushRulesController`: This controller is used to manage the global push rule.
+- `Group::PushRulesController`: This controller is used to manage the group-level push rule.
+- `Project::PushRulesController`: This controller is used to manage the project-level push rule.
+- `Api::Internal::Base`: This `/internal/allowed` endpoint is called when pushing to GitLab over SSH to
+ ensure the user is allowed to push. The `/internal/allowed` endpoint performs a
+ `Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`. In EE, this includes push rules checks.
+ - Defined in `lib/api/internal/base.rb`.
+- `Repositories::GitHttpController`: When changes are pushed to GitLab over HTTP, the controller performs an access
+ check to ensure the user is allowed to push. The checks perform a
+ `Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`. In EE, this includes push rules checks.
+ - Defined in `app/controllers/repositories/git_http_controller.rb`.
+
+## Flow
+
+These flowcharts should help explain the flow from the controllers down to the
+models for different features.
+
+### Git push over SSH
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ Repositories::GitHttpController --> Gitlab::GitAccess
+ Api::Internal::Base --> Gitlab::GitAccess
+ Gitlab::GitAccess --> Gitlab::Checks::ChangesAccess
+ Gitlab::Checks::ChangesAccess --> Gitlab::Checks::SingleChangeAccess
+ Gitlab::Checks::ChangesAccess --> EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck
+ Gitlab::Checks::SingleChangeAccess --> Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck
+ EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck -->|Only if pushing to a tag| EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::TagCheck
+ EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck -->|Only if pushing to a branch| EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::BranchCheck
+ EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck --> EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::FileSizeCheck
+ EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck --> EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::SecretsCheck
+ EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRuleCheck --> EE::Gitlab::Checks::PushRules::SecretsCheck
+```
+
+NOTE:
+The `PushRuleCheck` only triggers checks in parallel if the
+`parallel_push_checks` feature flag is enabled. Otherwise tag or branch check
+runs first, then file size, then secrets.

+## URL Spoofing
+
+We want to protect our users from bad actors who might try to use GitLab
+features to redirect other users to malicious sites.
+
+Many features in GitLab allow users to post links to external websites. It is
+important that the destination of any user-specified link is made very clear
+to the user.
+
+### `external_redirect_path`
+
+When presenting links provided by users, if the actual URL is hidden, use the `external_redirect_path`
+helper method to redirect the user to a warning page first. For example:
+
+```ruby
+# Bad :(
+# This URL comes from User-Land and may not be safe...
+# We need the user to *see* where they are going.
+link_to foo_social_url(@user), title: "Foo Social" do
+ sprite_icon('question-o')
+end
+
+# Good :)
+# The external_redirect "leaving GitLab" page will show the URL to the user
+# before they leave.

+### Recreate job failure in CI by forcing the job to run the same set of test files
+
+Reproducing a job failure in CI always helps with troubleshooting why and how a test fails. This require us running the same test files with the same spec order. Since we use Knapsack to distribute tests across parallelized jobs, and files can be distributed differently between two pipelines, we can hardcode this job distribution through the following steps:
+
+1. Find a job that you want to reproduce, identify the commit that it ran against, set your local `gitlab-org/gitlab` branch to the same commit to ensure we are running with the same copy of the project.
+1. In the job log, locate the list of spec files that were distributed by Knapsack - you can search for `Running command: bundle exec rspec`, the last argument of this command should contain a list of file names. Copy this list.
+1. Go to `tooling/lib/tooling/parallel_rspec_runner.rb` where the test file distribution happens. Have a look at [this merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/137924/diffs) as an example, store the file list you copied from step 2 into a `TEST_FILES` constant and have RSpec run this list by updating the `rspec_command` method as done in the example MR.
+1. Skip the tests in `spec/tooling/lib/tooling/parallel_rspec_runner_spec.rb` so it doesn't cause your pipeline to fail early.
+1. Since we want to force the pipeline to run against a specific version, we do not want to run a merged results pipeline. We can introduce a merge conflict into the MR to achieve this.
+1. To preserve spec ordering, update the `spec/support/rspec_order.rb` file by hard coding `Kernel.srand` with the value shown in the originally failing job, as done [here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/128428/diffs#32f6fa4961481518204e227252552dba7483c3b0_62_62).

## `ReactiveCaching`
Read the documentation on [`ReactiveCaching`](reactive_caching.md).
+
+## `CircuitBreaker`
+
+The `Gitlab::CircuitBreaker` can be wrapped around any class that needs to run code with circuit breaker protection. It provides a `run_with_circuit` method that wraps a code block with circuit breaker functionality, which helps prevent cascading failures and improves system resilience. For more information about the circuit breaker pattern, see:
+
+- [What is Circuit breaker](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html).
+- [The Hystrix documentation on CircuitBreaker](https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-it-Works#circuit-breaker).
+
+### Use CircuitBreaker
+
+To use the CircuitBreaker wrapper:
+
+```ruby
+class MyService
+ def call_external_service
+ Gitlab::CircuitBreaker.run_with_circuit('ServiceName') do
+ # Code that interacts with external service goes here
+
+ raise Gitlab::CircuitBreaker::InternalServerError # if there is an issue
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+The `call_external_service` method is an example method that interacts with an external service.
+By wrapping the code that interacts with the external service with `run_with_circuit`, the method is executed within the circuit breaker.
+
+The method should raise an `InternalServerError` error, which will be counted towards the error threshold if raised during the execution of the code block.
+The circuit breaker tracks the number of errors and the rate of requests,
+and opens the circuit if it reaches the configured error threshold or volume threshold.
+If the circuit is open, subsequent requests fail fast without executing the code block, and the circuit breaker periodically allows a small number of requests through to test the service's availability before closing the circuit again.
+
+### Configuration
+
+You need to specify a service name for each unique circuit that is used as the cache key. This should be a `CamelCase` string which identifies the circuit.
+
+The circuit breaker has defaults that can be overridden per circuit, for example:
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::CircuitBreaker.run_with_circuit('ServiceName', options = { volume_threshold: 5 }) do
+ ...
+end
+```
+
+The defaults are:
+
+- `exceptions`: `[Gitlab::CircuitBreaker::InternalServerError]`
+- `error_threshold`: `50`
+- `volume_threshold`: `10`
+- `sleep_window`: `90`
+- `time_window`: `60`
