Write JSON response using a producer

There were two issues: 1) `channel` is actually private type so its hard
to type `.site`, and 2) `.site` was actually overwriting an existing
member and so we need to rename it.

-Synapse 1.39.0rc2 (2021-07-22)
+Synapse 1.43.0rc2 (2021-09-17)
 ==============================
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
-- Always include `device_one_time_keys_count` key in `/sync` response to work around a bug in Element Android that broke encryption for new devices. ([\#10457](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10457))
+- Added opentracing logging to help debug [\#9424](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9424). ([\#10828](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10828))
+
+
+Synapse 1.43.0rc1 (2021-09-14)
+==============================
+
+This release drops support for the deprecated, unstable API for [MSC2858](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2858-Multiple-SSO-Identity-Providers.md#unstable-prefix), as well as the undocumented `experimental.msc2858_enabled` config option. Client authors should update their clients to use the stable API, available since Synapse 1.30.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Allow room creators to send historical events specified by [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) in existing room versions. ([\#10566](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10566))
+- Add config option to use non-default manhole password and keys. ([\#10643](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10643))
+- Skip final GC at shutdown to improve restart performance. ([\#10712](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10712))
+- Allow configuration of the oEmbed URLs used for URL previews. ([\#10714](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10714), [\#10759](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10759))
+- Prefer [room version 9](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375) for restricted rooms per the [room version capabilities](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3244) API. ([\#10772](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10772))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a long-standing bug where room avatars were not included in email notifications. ([\#10658](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10658))
+- Fix a bug where the ordering algorithm was skipping the `origin_server_ts` step in the spaces summary resulting in unstable room orderings. ([\#10730](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10730))
+- Fix edge case when persisting events into a room where there are multiple events we previously hadn't calculated auth chains for (and hadn't marked as needing to be calculated). ([\#10743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10743))
+- Fix a bug which prevented calls to `/createRoom` that included the `room_alias_name` parameter from being handled by worker processes. ([\#10757](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10757))
+- Fix a bug which prevented user registration via SSO to require consent tracking for SSO mapping providers that don't prompt for Matrix ID selection. Contributed by @AndrewFerr. ([\#10733](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10733))
+- Only return the stripped state events for the `m.space.child` events in a room for the spaces summary from [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946). ([\#10760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10760))
+- Properly handle room upgrades of spaces. ([\#10774](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10774))
+- Fix a bug which generated invalid homeserver config when the `frontend_proxy` worker type was passed to the Synapse Worker-based Complement image. ([\#10783](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10783))
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- Minor fix to the `media_repository` developer documentation. Contributed by @cuttingedge1109. ([\#10556](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10556))
+- Update the documentation to note that the `/spaces` and `/hierarchy` endpoints can be routed to workers. ([\#10648](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10648))
+- Clarify admin API documentation on undoing room deletions. ([\#10735](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10735))
+- Split up the modules documentation and add examples for module developers. ([\#10758](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10758))
+- Correct 2 typographical errors in the [Log Contexts documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/log_contexts.html). ([\#10795](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10795))
+- Fix a wording mistake in the sample configuration. Contributed by @bramvdnheuvel:nltrix.net. ([\#10804](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10804))
+
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- Remove the [unstable MSC2858 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2858-Multiple-SSO-Identity-Providers.md#unstable-prefix), including the undocumented `experimental.msc2858_enabled` config option. The unstable API has been deprecated since Synapse 1.35. Client authors should update their clients to use the stable API introduced in Synapse 1.30 if they have not already done so. ([\#10693](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10693))
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Add OpenTracing logging to help debug stuck messages (as described by issue [#9424](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9424)). ([\#10704](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10704))
+- Add type annotations to the `synapse.util` package. ([\#10601](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10601))
+- Ensure `rooms.creator` field is always populated for easy lookup in [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) usage later. ([\#10697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10697))

+Synapse 1.41.1 (2021-08-31)
+===========================
+
+Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
+
+Security advisory
+-----------------
+
+The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
+
+- **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39164): Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names.**
+
+  If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room *and* that room's history visibility is set to `shared`, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names.
+
+  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room.
+
+  Fixed by [52c7a51cf](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf).
+
+- **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39163): Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.**
+
+  If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features.
+
+  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (`enable_group_creation` in the Synapse configuration; off by default).
+
+  Fixed by [cb35df940a](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).

-# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
-license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
-follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
-submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
-license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
-license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
-[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
-
-# 2. What do I need?
-
-The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
-
-The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
-
-For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
-
-
-# 3. Get the source.
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
-
-Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
-
-```sh
-git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
-git checkout develop
-```
-
-If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
-can find many good git tutorials on the web.
-
-# 4. Install the dependencies
-
-## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
-
-Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
-setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
-
-```sh
-cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
-python3 -m venv ./env
-source ./env/bin/activate
-pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
-pip install tox
-```
-
-This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
-
-## Under Windows
-
-TBD
-
-
-# 5. Get in touch.
-
-Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
-
-
-# 6. Pick an issue.
-
-Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
-to work on.
-
-
-# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
-directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
-
-If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
-Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
-
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.
-
-
-# 8. Test, test, test!
-<a name="test-test-test"></a>
-
-While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
-want to test your code.
-
-## Run the linters.
-
-The linters look at your code and do two things:
-
-- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
-- catch a number of errors in your code.
-
-They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh
-```
-
-Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
-Make sure that you have saved all your files.
-
-If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
-(much faster!), you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
-```
-
-Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
-```
-
-## Run the unit tests.
-
-The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
-was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests
-```
-
-If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
-another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
-```
-
-If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
-
-```sh
-less _trial_temp/test.log
-```
-
-To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
-
-```sh
-SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
-```
-
-
-## Run the integration tests.
-
-The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
-run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
-anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
-typically catch more errors.
-
-The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
-configuration:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
-```
-
-This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
-
-
-# 9. Submit your patch.
-
-Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
-
-To prepare a Pull Request, please:
-
-1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
-2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
-3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
-4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
-5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
-6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
-
-
-## Changelog
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
-in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* `feature`
-* `bugfix`
-* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
-* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
-* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
-* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
-
-This file will become part of our [changelog](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
-release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
-change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
-formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
-
-> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
-> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
-
-If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
-then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
-merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
-release.
-
-### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
-`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
-chicken-and-egg problem.
-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
- 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
-    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
-
- 1. Look at the [list of all
-    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
-    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
-    your number.
-
-    [This
-    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
-    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
-
-Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
-to put together a release!
-
-### Debian changelog
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
-exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command:
-
-```
-dch
-```
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)
-
-## Sign off
-
-In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
-and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
-same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
-[submitting patches process](

-[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
-projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
-http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
-the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
-

-
-Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
-
-1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
-2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
-
-From this point, you should:
-
-1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
-   - If there is any error, fix the error.

-# Deprecated: Shutdown room API
-
-**The old Shutdown room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
-
-Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
-to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
-`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
-explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
--10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
-disallow any further invites or joins.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-## API
-
-You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
-
-### URL
-
-`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
-
-### URL Parameters
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
-
-### JSON Body Parameters
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
-                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
-                invited to.
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
-              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
-               original room was shut down.
-
-If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
-Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
-othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
-
-### Response Parameters
-
-* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
-                   were kicked.
-* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
-                           that were not kicked.
-* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
-                    the old room to the new.
-* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.

 # Contributing
 
-{{#include ../../CONTRIBUTING.md}}
+This document aims to get you started with contributing to Synapse!
+
+# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
+projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
+license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
+follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
+submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
+license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
+license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
+[LICENSE](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/LICENSE)).
+
+# 2. What do I need?
+
+The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
+
+The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
+
+For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
+
+
+# 3. Get the source.
+
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
+project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
+https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
+changes into our repo.
+
+Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
+git checkout develop
+```
+
+If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
+can find many good git tutorials on the web.
+
+# 4. Install the dependencies
+
+## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
+
+Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
+setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
+
+```sh
+cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
+python3 -m venv ./env
+source ./env/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
+pip install tox
+```
+
+This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
+
+## Under Windows
+
+TBD
+
+
+# 5. Get in touch.
+
+Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
+
+
+# 6. Pick an issue.
+
+Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
+to work on.
+
+
+# 7. Turn coffee into code and documentation!
+
+There is a growing amount of documentation located in the
+[`docs`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs)
+directory, with a rendered version [available online](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse).
+This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
+own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
+Synapse.
+[`docs/development`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/development)
+exists primarily to house documentation for
+Synapse developers.
+[`docs/admin_api`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/admin_api) houses documentation
+regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
+service developers.
+
+Synapse's code style is documented [here](../code_style.md). Please follow
+it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
+file](../code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
+
+We welcome improvements and additions to our documentation itself! When
+writing new pages, please
+[build `docs` to a book](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs#adding-to-the-documentation)
+to check that your contributions render correctly. The docs are written in
+[GitHub-Flavoured Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
+
+Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
+Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
+contributed to by community authors.
+
+
+# 8. Test, test, test!
+<a name="test-test-test"></a>
+
+While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
+want to test your code.
+
+## Run the linters.
+
+The linters look at your code and do two things:
+
+- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
+- catch a number of errors in your code.
+
+They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh
+```
+
+Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
+Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+
+If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
+(much faster!), you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
+```
+
+Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
+```
+
+## Run the unit tests (Twisted trial).
+
+The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
+was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests
+```
+
+If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
+another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
+```
+
+If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
+
+```sh
+SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
+```
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
+
+The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
+run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
+anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
+typically catch more errors.
+
+The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
+configuration:
+
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:buster
+```
+
+This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
+
+[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
+
+It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
+Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
+
+(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh
+```
+
+To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory
+```
+
+To run a specific test, you can specify the whole name structure:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory/parallel/Backfilled_historical_events_resolve_with_proper_state_in_correct_order
+```
+
+
+### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
+
+If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
+
+1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
+1. Start the Complement tests
+1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
+1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
+1. Install sqlite (database driver), `apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3`
+1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
+
+
+# 9. Submit your patch.
+
+Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
+
+To prepare a Pull Request, please:
+
+1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
+2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
+3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
+4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
+5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
+6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
+7. if you need to update your PR, please avoid rebasing and just add new commits to your branch.
+
+
+## Changelog
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
+in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* `feature`
+* `bugfix`
+* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
+* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
+* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
+* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
+
+This file will become part of our [changelog](
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
+release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
+change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
+formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
+
+> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
+> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
+
+If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
+then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
+merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
+release.
+
+### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
+
+Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
+`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
+chicken-and-egg problem.
+
+There are two options for solving this:
+
+1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
+   add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
+   request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
+
+1. Look at the [list of all
+   issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
+   highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
+   your number.
+
+   [This
+   script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
+   might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
+
+Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
+to put together a release!
+
+### Debian changelog
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
+exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command:
+
+```
+dch
+```
+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
+version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
+(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
+corrected for the release.)
+
+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
+separate pull requests.)
+
+## Sign off
+
+In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
+and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the

+1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
+2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
+
+From this point, you should:
+
+1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
+    - If there is any error, fix the error.
+2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
+3. Create a new commit with the changes.
+    - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
+    - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
+4. Back to 1.
+
+Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!
+
+# 11. Find a new issue.
+
+By now, you know the drill!
+
+# Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
+
+There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
+manage git [here](git.md).
+
+# Conclusion
+
+That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
+given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
+matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
+reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
+please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
+do!

+# Room DAG concepts
+
+## Edges
+
+The word "edge" comes from graph theory lingo. An edge is just a connection
+between two events. In Synapse, we connect events by specifying their
+`prev_events`. A subsequent event points back at a previous event.
+
+```
+A (oldest) <---- B <---- C (most recent)
+```
+
+
+## Depth and stream ordering
+
+Events are normally sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)` where
+`topological_ordering` is just `depth`. In other words, we first sort by `depth`
+and then tie-break based on `stream_ordering`. `depth` is incremented as new
+messages are added to the DAG. Normally, `stream_ordering` is an auto
+incrementing integer, but backfilled events start with `stream_ordering=-1` and decrement.
+
+---
+
+ - `/sync` returns things in the order they arrive at the server (`stream_ordering`).
+ - `/messages` (and `/backfill` in the federation API) return them in the order determined by the event graph `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`.
+
+The general idea is that, if you're following a room in real-time (i.e.
+`/sync`), you probably want to see the messages as they arrive at your server,
+rather than skipping any that arrived late; whereas if you're looking at a
+historical section of timeline (i.e. `/messages`), you want to see the best
+representation of the state of the room as others were seeing it at the time.
+
+
+## Forward extremity
+
+Most-recent-in-time events in the DAG which are not referenced by any other events' `prev_events` yet.
+
+The forward extremities of a room are used as the `prev_events` when the next event is sent.
+
+
+## Backwards extremity
+
+The current marker of where we have backfilled up to and will generally be the
+oldest-in-time events we know of in the DAG.
+
+This is an event where we haven't fetched all of the `prev_events` for.
+
+Once we have fetched all of its `prev_events`, it's unmarked as a backwards
+extremity (although we may have formed new backwards extremities from the prev
+events during the backfilling process).
+
+
+## Outliers
+
+We mark an event as an `outlier` when we haven't figured out the state for the
+room at that point in the DAG yet.
+
+We won't *necessarily* have the `prev_events` of an `outlier` in the database,
+but it's entirely possible that we *might*. The status of whether we have all of
+the `prev_events` is marked as a [backwards extremity](#backwards-extremity).
+
+For example, when we fetch the event auth chain or state for a given event, we
+mark all of those claimed auth events as outliers because we haven't done the
+state calculation ourself.
+
+
+## State groups
+
+For every non-outlier event we need to know the state at that event. Instead of
+storing the full state for each event in the DB (i.e. a `event_id -> state`
+mapping), which is *very* space inefficient when state doesn't change, we
+instead assign each different set of state a "state group" and then have
+mappings of `event_id -> state_group` and `state_group -> state`.
+
+
+### Stage group edges
+
+TODO: `state_group_edges` is a further optimization...

+URL Previews
+============
+
+The `GET /_matrix/media/r0/preview_url` endpoint provides a generic preview API
+for URLs which outputs [Open Graph](https://ogp.me/) responses (with some Matrix
+specific additions).
+
+This does have trade-offs compared to other designs:
+
+* Pros:
+  * Simple and flexible; can be used by any clients at any point
+* Cons:
+  * If each homeserver provides one of these independently, all the HSes in a
+    room may needlessly DoS the target URI
+  * The URL metadata must be stored somewhere, rather than just using Matrix
+    itself to store the media.
+  * Matrix cannot be used to distribute the metadata between homeservers.
+
+When Synapse is asked to preview a URL it does the following:
+
+1. Checks against a URL blacklist (defined as `url_preview_url_blacklist` in the
+   config).
+2. Checks the in-memory cache by URLs and returns the result if it exists. (This
+   is also used to de-duplicate processing of multiple in-flight requests at once.)
+3. Kicks off a background process to generate a preview:
+   1. Checks the database cache by URL and timestamp and returns the result if it
+      has not expired and was successful (a 2xx return code).
+   2. Checks if the URL matches an oEmbed pattern. If it does, fetch the oEmbed
+      response. If this is an image, replace the URL to fetch and continue. If
+      if it is HTML content, use the HTML as the document and continue.
+   3. If it doesn't match an oEmbed pattern, downloads the URL and stores it
+      into a file via the media storage provider and saves the local media
+      metadata.
+   5. If the media is an image:
+      1. Generates thumbnails.
+      2. Generates an Open Graph response based on image properties.
+   6. If the media is HTML:
+      1. Decodes the HTML via the stored file.
+      2. Generates an Open Graph response from the HTML.
+      3. If an image exists in the Open Graph response:
+         1. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage
+            provider and saves the local media metadata.
+         2. Generates thumbnails.
+         3. Updates the Open Graph response based on image properties.
+   7. Stores the result in the database cache.
+4. Returns the result.
+
+The in-memory cache expires after 1 hour.
+
+Expired entries in the database cache (and their associated media files) are
+deleted every 10 seconds. The default expiration time is 1 hour from download.

-# Modules
-
-Synapse supports extending its functionality by configuring external modules.
-
-## Using modules
-
-To use a module on Synapse, add it to the `modules` section of the configuration file:
-
-```yaml
-modules:
-  - module: my_super_module.MySuperClass
-    config:
-      do_thing: true
-  - module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass
-    config: {}
-```
-
-Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This
-information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.
-
-**Note**: When using third-party modules, you effectively allow someone else to run
-custom code on your Synapse homeserver. Server admins are encouraged to verify the
-provenance of the modules they use on their homeserver and make sure the modules aren't
-running malicious code on their instance.
-
-Also note that we are currently in the process of migrating module interfaces to this
-system. While some interfaces might be compatible with it, others still require
-configuring modules in another part of Synapse's configuration file. Currently, only the
-spam checker interface is compatible with this new system.
-
-## Writing a module
-
-A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
-homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
-well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.
-
-When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
-the `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
-either the output of the module's `parse_config` static method (see below), or the
-configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.
-
-See the documentation for the `ModuleApi` class
-[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py).
-
-### Handling the module's configuration
-
-A module can implement the following static method:
-
-```python
-@staticmethod
-def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
-```
-
-This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
-module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
-"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
-that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
-`synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError` if not.
-
-### Registering a web resource
-
-Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
-API method:
-
-```python
-def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource) -> None
-```
-
-The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
-register a resource for the path `/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`, Synapse
-will serve it at `http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`. Note
-that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the `/_matrix`
-namespace (such as anything under `/_matrix/client` for example). It is strongly
-recommended that modules register their web resources under the `/_synapse/client`
-namespace.
-
-The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's [IResource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html)
-interface (such as [Resource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html)).
-
-Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
-register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
-configuration file takes priority.
-
-Modules **must** register their web resources in their `__init__` method.
-
-### Registering a callback
-
-Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
-Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
-are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
-and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
-callbacks for.
-
-Modules can register callbacks using one of the module API's `register_[...]_callbacks`
-methods. The callback functions are passed to these methods as keyword arguments, with
-the callback name as the argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated
-in the example below. A `register_[...]_callbacks` method exists for each module type
-documented in this section.
-
-#### Spam checker callbacks
-
-Spam checker callbacks allow module developers to implement spam mitigation actions for
-Synapse instances. Spam checker callbacks can be registered using the module API's
-`register_spam_checker_callbacks` method.
-
-The available spam checker callbacks are:
-
-```python
-async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
-```
-
-Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
-either a `bool` to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a `str`
-to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
-forward to clients.
-
-```python
-async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a `bool` indicating whether
-the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
-represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`).
-
-```python
-async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a `bool` indicating
-whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.
-
-```python
-async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
-```
-
-Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
-`bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
-to set the given alias.
-
-```python
-async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
-module must return a `bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their
-Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.
-
-```python
-async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
-`bool` indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
-is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:
-
-* `user_id`: The Matrix ID for this user.
-* `display_name`: The user's display name.
-* `avatar_url`: The `mxc://` URL to the user's avatar.
-
-The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
-module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.
-
-```python
-async def check_registration_for_spam(
-    email_threepid: Optional[dict],
-    username: Optional[str],
-    request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
-    auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
-) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
-```
-
-Called when registering a new user. The module must return a `RegistrationBehaviour`
-indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
-may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.
-
-The arguments passed to this callback are:
-
-* `email_threepid`: The email address used for registering, if any.
-* `username`: The username the user would like to register. Can be `None`, meaning that
-  Synapse will generate one later.
-* `request_info`: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
-  second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
-  used during the registration process.
-* `auth_provider_id`: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.
-
-```python
-async def check_media_file_for_spam(
-    file_wrapper: "synapse.rest.media.v1.media_storage.ReadableFileWrapper",
-    file_info: "synapse.rest.media.v1._base.FileInfo",
-) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
-whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.
-
-#### Account validity callbacks
-
-Account validity callbacks allow module developers to add extra steps to verify the
-validity on an account, i.e. see if a user can be granted access to their account on the
-Synapse instance. Account validity callbacks can be registered using the module API's
-`register_account_validity_callbacks` method.
-
-The available account validity callbacks are:
-
-```python
-async def is_user_expired(user: str) -> Optional[bool]
-```
-
-Called when processing any authenticated request (except for logout requests). The module
-can return a `bool` to indicate whether the user has expired and should be locked out of
-their account, or `None` if the module wasn't able to figure it out. The user is
-represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`).
-
-If the module returns `True`, the current request will be denied with the error code
-`ORG_MATRIX_EXPIRED_ACCOUNT` and the HTTP status code 403. Note that this doesn't
-invalidate the user's access token.
-
-```python
-async def on_user_registration(user: str) -> None
-```
-
-Called after successfully registering a user, in case the module needs to perform extra
-operations to keep track of them. (e.g. add them to a database table). The user is
-represented by their Matrix user ID.
-
-#### Third party rules callbacks
-
-Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
-validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
-the module API's `register_third_party_rules_callbacks` method.
-
-The available third party rules callbacks are:
-
-```python
-async def check_event_allowed(
-    event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
-    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
-) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
-```
-
-**<span style="color:red">
-This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
-are encouraged to implement `check_event_for_spam` from the spam checker category instead.
-</span>**
-
-Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a `StateMap`
-representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A `StateMap` is
-a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
-corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's `m.room.create` event from
-the `state_events` argument would look like this: `state_events.get(("m.room.create", ""))`.
-The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.
-
-Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
-traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
-copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
-federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
-callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
-servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.
-
-If the boolean returned by the module is `True`, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
-event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
-that, it is recommended the module calls `event.get_dict()` to get the current event as a
-dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.
-
-Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
-received over federation.
-
-```python
-async def on_create_room(
-    requester: "synapse.types.Requester",
-    request_content: dict,
-    is_requester_admin: bool,
-) -> None
-```
-
-Called when processing a room creation request, with the `Requester` object for the user
-performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
-(see [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom)
-for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
-the request is a server admin.
-
-Modules can modify the `request_content` (by e.g. adding events to its `initial_state`),
-or deny the room's creation by raising a `module_api.errors.SynapseError`.
-
-
-### Porting an existing module that uses the old interface
-
-In order to port a module that uses Synapse's old module interface, its author needs to:
-
-* ensure the module's callbacks are all asynchronous.
-* register their callbacks using one or more of the `register_[...]_callbacks` methods
-  from the `ModuleApi` class in the module's `__init__` method (see [this section](#registering-a-callback)
-  for more info).
-
-Additionally, if the module is packaged with an additional web resource, the module
-should register this resource in its `__init__` method using the `register_web_resource`
-method from the `ModuleApi` class (see [this section](#registering-a-web-resource) for
-more info).
-
-The module's author should also update any example in the module's configuration to only
-use the new `modules` section in Synapse's configuration file (see [this section](#using-modules)
-for more info).
-
-### Example
-
-The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
-`user_may_create_room` to deny room creation to user `@evilguy:example.com`, and registers
-a web resource to the path `/_synapse/client/demo/hello` that returns a JSON object.
-
-```python
-import json

-from twisted.web.resource import Resource
-from twisted.web.server import Request

+
+Presence router callbacks allow module developers to specify additional users (local or remote)
+to receive certain presence updates from local users. Presence router callbacks can be 
+registered using the module API's `register_presence_router_callbacks` method.
+
+## Callbacks
+
+The available presence router callbacks are:
+
+### `get_users_for_states`
+
+```python 
+async def get_users_for_states(
+    state_updates: Iterable["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"],
+) -> Dict[str, Set["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"]]
+```
+**Requires** `get_interested_users` to also be registered
+
+Called when processing updates to the presence state of one or more users. This callback can
+be used to instruct the server to forward that presence state to specific users. The module
+must return a dictionary that maps from Matrix user IDs (which can be local or remote) to the
+`UserPresenceState` changes that they should be forwarded.
+
+Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when possible.
+
+### `get_interested_users`
+
+```python
+async def get_interested_users(
+    user_id: str
+) -> Union[Set[str], "synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS"]
+```
+**Requires** `get_users_for_states` to also be registered
+
+Called when determining which users someone should be able to see the presence state of. This
+callback should return complementary results to `get_users_for_state` or the presence information 
+may not be properly forwarded.
+
+The callback is given the Matrix user ID for a local user that is requesting presence data and
+should return the Matrix user IDs of the users whose presence state they are allowed to
+query. The returned users can be local or remote. 
+
+Alternatively the callback can return `synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS`
+to indicate that the user should receive updates from all known users.

+    request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
+    auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
+) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
+```
+
+Called when registering a new user. The module must return a `RegistrationBehaviour`
+indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
+may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.
+
+The arguments passed to this callback are:
+
+* `email_threepid`: The email address used for registering, if any.
+* `username`: The username the user would like to register. Can be `None`, meaning that
+  Synapse will generate one later.
+* `request_info`: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
+  second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
+  used during the registration process.
+* `auth_provider_id`: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.
+
+### `check_media_file_for_spam`

+) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
+whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.
+
+## Example
+
+The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
+`check_event_for_spam` to deny any message sent by users whose Matrix user IDs are

+# Third party rules callbacks
+
+Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
+validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
+the module API's `register_third_party_rules_callbacks` method.
+
+## Callbacks
+
+The available third party rules callbacks are:
+
+### `check_event_allowed`
+
+```python
+async def check_event_allowed(
+    event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
+    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
+) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
+```
+
+**<span style="color:red">
+This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
+are encouraged to implement `check_event_for_spam` from the spam checker category instead.
+</span>**
+
+Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a `StateMap`
+representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A `StateMap` is
+a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
+corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's `m.room.create` event from
+the `state_events` argument would look like this: `state_events.get(("m.room.create", ""))`.
+The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.
+
+Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
+traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
+copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
+federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
+callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
+servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.
+
+If the boolean returned by the module is `True`, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
+event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
+that, it is recommended the module calls `event.get_dict()` to get the current event as a
+dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.
+
+Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
+received over federation.
+
+### `on_create_room`
+
+```python
+async def on_create_room(
+    requester: "synapse.types.Requester",
+    request_content: dict,
+    is_requester_admin: bool,
+) -> None
+```
+
+Called when processing a room creation request, with the `Requester` object for the user
+performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
+(see [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom)
+for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
+the request is a server admin.
+
+Modules can modify the `request_content` (by e.g. adding events to its `initial_state`),
+or deny the room's creation by raising a `module_api.errors.SynapseError`.
+
+### `check_threepid_can_be_invited`
+
+```python
+async def check_threepid_can_be_invited(
+    medium: str,
+    address: str,
+    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
+) -> bool:
+```
+
+Called when processing an invite via a third-party identifier (i.e. email or phone number).
+The module must return a boolean indicating whether the invite can go through.
+
+### `check_visibility_can_be_modified`
+
+```python
+async def check_visibility_can_be_modified(
+    room_id: str,
+    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
+    new_visibility: str,
+) -> bool:
+```
+
+Called when changing the visibility of a room in the local public room directory. The
+visibility is a string that's either "public" or "private". The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the change can go through.
+
+## Example
+
+The example below is a module that implements the third-party rules callback
+`check_event_allowed` to censor incoming messages as dictated by a third-party service.
+
+```python
+from typing import Optional, Tuple
+
+from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi
+
+_DEFAULT_CENSOR_ENDPOINT = "https://my-internal-service.local/censor-event"
+
+class EventCensorer:
+    def __init__(self, config: dict, api: ModuleApi):
+        self.api = api
+        self._endpoint = config.get("endpoint", _DEFAULT_CENSOR_ENDPOINT)
+
+        self.api.register_third_party_rules_callbacks(
+            check_event_allowed=self.check_event_allowed,
+        )
+
+    async def check_event_allowed(
+        self,
+        event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
+        state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
+    ) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]:
+        event_dict = event.get_dict()
+        new_event_content = await self.api.http_client.post_json_get_json(

+# Writing a module
+
+A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
+homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
+well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.
+
+When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
+the `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
+either the output of the module's `parse_config` static method (see below), or the
+configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.
+
+See the documentation for the `ModuleApi` class
+[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py).
+
+## Handling the module's configuration
+
+A module can implement the following static method:
+
+```python
+@staticmethod
+def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
+```
+
+This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
+module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
+"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
+that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
+`synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError` if not.
+
+## Registering a web resource
+
+Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
+API method:
+
+```python
+def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource) -> None
+```
+
+The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
+register a resource for the path `/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`, Synapse
+will serve it at `http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`. Note
+that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the `/_matrix`
+namespace (such as anything under `/_matrix/client` for example). It is strongly
+recommended that modules register their web resources under the `/_synapse/client`
+namespace.
+
+The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's [IResource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html)
+interface (such as [Resource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html)).
+
+Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
+register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
+configuration file takes priority.
+
+Modules **must** register their web resources in their `__init__` method.
+
+## Registering a callback
+
+Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
+Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
+are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
+and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
+callbacks for.
+
+Modules can register callbacks using one of the module API's `register_[...]_callbacks`
+methods. The callback functions are passed to these methods as keyword arguments, with
+the callback name as the argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated
+in the example below. A `register_[...]_callbacks` method exists for each category.
+
+Callbacks for each category can be found on their respective page of the
+[Synapse documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse).

+# Using a forward proxy with Synapse
+
+You can use Synapse with a forward or outbound proxy. An example of when
+this is necessary is in corporate environments behind a DMZ (demilitarized zone).
+Synapse supports routing outbound HTTP(S) requests via a proxy. Only HTTP(S)
+proxy is supported, not SOCKS proxy or anything else.
+
+## Configure
+
+The `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `no_proxy` environment variables are used to
+specify proxy settings. The environment variable is not case sensitive.
+- `http_proxy`: Proxy server to use for HTTP requests.
+- `https_proxy`: Proxy server to use for HTTPS requests.
+- `no_proxy`: Comma-separated list of hosts, IP addresses, or IP ranges in CIDR
+  format which should not use the proxy. Synapse will directly connect to these hosts.
+
+The `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` environment variables have the form: `[scheme://][<username>:<password>@]<host>[:<port>]`
+- Supported schemes are `http://` and `https://`. The default scheme is `http://`
+  for compatibility reasons; it is recommended to set a scheme. If scheme is set
+  to `https://` the connection uses TLS between Synapse and the proxy.
+
+  **NOTE**: Synapse validates the certificates. If the certificate is not
+  valid, then the connection is dropped.
+- Default port if not given is `1080`.
+- Username and password are optional and will be used to authenticate against
+  the proxy.
+
+**Examples**
+- HTTP_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@10.0.1.1:8080/
+- HTTPS_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.example.com:8080/
+- NO_PROXY=master.hostname.example.com,10.1.0.0/16,172.30.0.0/16
+
+**NOTE**:
+Synapse does not apply the IP blacklist to connections through the proxy (since
+the DNS resolution is done by the proxy). It is expected that the proxy or firewall
+will apply blacklisting of IP addresses.
+
+## Connection types
+
+The proxy will be **used** for:
+
+- push
+- url previews
+- phone-home stats
+- recaptcha validation
+- CAS auth validation
+- OpenID Connect
+- Outbound federation
+- Federation (checking public key revocation)
+- Fetching public keys of other servers
+- Downloading remote media
+
+It will **not be used** for:
+
+- Application Services
+- Identity servers
+- In worker configurations
+  - connections between workers
+  - connections from workers to Redis
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If a proxy server is used with TLS (HTTPS) and no connections are established,
+it is most likely due to the proxy's certificates. To test this, the validation
+in Synapse can be deactivated.
+
+**NOTE**: This has an impact on security and is for testing purposes only!
+
+To deactivate the certificate validation, the following setting must be made in
+[homserver.yaml](../usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.md).
+
+```yaml
+use_insecure_ssl_client_just_for_testing_do_not_use: true

+# Templates
+
+Synapse uses parametrised templates to generate the content of emails it sends and
+webpages it shows to users.
+
+By default, Synapse will use the templates listed [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates).
+Server admins can configure an additional directory for Synapse to look for templates
+in, allowing them to specify custom templates:
+
+```yaml
+templates:
+  custom_templates_directory: /path/to/custom/templates/
+```
+
+If this setting is not set, or the files named below are not found within the directory,
+default templates from within the Synapse package will be used.
+
+Templates that are given variables when being rendered are rendered using [Jinja 2](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/).
+Templates rendered by Jinja 2 can also access two functions on top of the functions
+already available as part of Jinja 2:
+
+```python
+format_ts(value: int, format: str) -> str
+```
+
+Formats a timestamp in milliseconds.
+
+Example: `reason.last_sent_ts|format_ts("%c")`
+
+```python
+mxc_to_http(value: str, width: int, height: int, resize_method: str = "crop") -> str
+```
+
+Turns a `mxc://` URL for media content into an HTTP(S) one using the homeserver's
+`public_baseurl` configuration setting as the URL's base.
+
+Example: `message.sender_avatar_url|mxc_to_http(32,32)`
+
+
+## Email templates
+
+Below are the templates Synapse will look for when generating the content of an email:
+
+* `notif_mail.html` and `notif_mail.txt`: The contents of email notifications of missed
+  events.
+  When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
+    * `user_display_name`: the display name for the user receiving the notification
+    * `unsubscribe_link`: the link users can click to unsubscribe from email notifications
+    * `summary_text`: a summary of the notification(s). The text used can be customised
+      by configuring the various settings in the `email.subjects` section of the
+      configuration file.
+    * `rooms`: a list of rooms containing events to include in the email. Each element is
+      an object with the following attributes:
+        * `title`: a human-readable name for the room
+        * `hash`: a hash of the ID of the room
+        * `invite`: a boolean, which is `True` if the room is an invite the user hasn't
+          accepted yet, `False` otherwise
+        * `notifs`: a list of events, or an empty list if `invite` is `True`. Each element
+          is an object with the following attributes:
+            * `link`: a `matrix.to` link to the event
+            * `ts`: the time in milliseconds at which the event was received
+            * `messages`: a list of messages containing one message before the event, the
+              message in the event, and one message after the event. Each element is an
+              object with the following attributes:
+                * `event_type`: the type of the event
+                * `is_historical`: a boolean, which is `False` if the message is the one
+                  that triggered the notification, `True` otherwise
+                * `id`: the ID of the event
+                * `ts`: the time in milliseconds at which the event was sent
+                * `sender_name`: the display name for the event's sender

+      (ie, 'consent_version' from the input variables).
+* `sso_redirect_confirm.html`: HTML page for a confirmation step before redirecting back
+  to the client with the login token.
+  When rendering, this template is given the following variables:

+    * `display_url`: the same as `redirect_url`, but with the query
+                   parameters stripped. The intention is to have a
+                   human-readable URL to show to users, not to use it as
+                   the final address to redirect to.

+        * `idp_brand`: if specified in the IdP config, a textual identifier
+             for the brand of the IdP
+* `sso_auth_success.html`: HTML page shown after a successful user interactive
+  authentication session.
+  Note that this page must include the JavaScript which notifies of a successful
+  authentication (see https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#fallback).

+## The spaces summary APIs can now be handled by workers
+
+The [available worker applications documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/workers.html#available-worker-applications)

+
+# Upgrading to v1.42.0
+
+## Removal of old Room Admin API

+(released on 2021-01-13) and have now been removed:
+
+-   `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room`
+-   `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>`
+
+Any scripts still using the above APIs should be converted to use the

+## User-interactive authentication fallback templates can now display errors
+
+This may affect you if you make use of custom HTML templates for the
+[reCAPTCHA](../synapse/res/templates/recaptcha.html) or

+
+The template is now provided an `error` variable if the authentication
+process failed. See the default templates linked above for an example.

+## Add support for routing outbound HTTP requests via a proxy for federation
+
+Since Synapse 1.6.0 (2019-11-26) you can set a proxy for outbound HTTP requests via
+http_proxy/https_proxy environment variables. This proxy was set for:
+- push
+- url previews
+- phone-home stats
+- recaptcha validation
+- CAS auth validation
+- OpenID Connect
+- Federation (checking public key revocation)
+
+In this version we have added support for outbound requests for:
+- Outbound federation
+- Downloading remote media
+- Fetching public keys of other servers
+
+These requests use the same proxy configuration. If you have a proxy configuration we
+recommend to verify the configuration. It may be necessary to adjust the `no_proxy`
+environment variable.
+
+See [using a forward proxy with Synapse documentation](setup/forward_proxy.md) for
+details.
+
+## Deprecation of `template_dir`
+
+The `template_dir` settings in the `sso`, `account_validity` and `email` sections of the
+configuration file are now deprecated. Server admins should use the new
+`templates.custom_template_directory` setting in the configuration file and use one single
+custom template directory for all aforementioned features. Template file names remain
+unchanged. See [the related documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/templates.html)

-URL Previews
-============
-
-Design notes on a URL previewing service for Matrix:
-
-Options are:
-
- 1. Have an AS which listens for URLs, downloads them, and inserts an event that describes their metadata.
-   * Pros:
-     * Decouples the implementation entirely from Synapse.
-     * Uses existing Matrix events & content repo to store the metadata.
-   * Cons:
-     * Which AS should provide this service for a room, and why should you trust it?
-     * Doesn't work well with E2E; you'd have to cut the AS into every room
-     * the AS would end up subscribing to every room anyway.
-
- 2. Have a generic preview API (nothing to do with Matrix) that provides a previewing service:
-   * Pros:
-     * Simple and flexible; can be used by any clients at any point
-   * Cons:
-     * If each HS provides one of these independently, all the HSes in a room may needlessly DoS the target URI
-     * We need somewhere to store the URL metadata rather than just using Matrix itself
-     * We can't piggyback on matrix to distribute the metadata between HSes.
-
- 3. Make the synapse of the sending user responsible for spidering the URL and inserting an event asynchronously which describes the metadata.
-   * Pros:
-     * Works transparently for all clients
-     * Piggy-backs nicely on using Matrix for distributing the metadata.
-     * No confusion as to which AS
-   * Cons:
-     * Doesn't work with E2E
-     * We might want to decouple the implementation of the spider from the HS, given spider behaviour can be quite complicated and evolve much more rapidly than the HS.  It's more like a bot than a core part of the server.
-
- 4. Make the sending client use the preview API and insert the event itself when successful.
-   * Pros:
-      * Works well with E2E
-      * No custom server functionality
-      * Lets the client customise the preview that they send (like on FB)
-   * Cons:
-      * Entirely specific to the sending client, whereas it'd be nice if /any/ URL was correctly previewed if clients support it.
-
- 5. Have the option of specifying a shared (centralised) previewing service used by a room, to avoid all the different HSes in the room DoSing the target.
-
-Best solution is probably a combination of both 2 and 4.
- * Sending clients do their best to create and send a preview at the point of sending the message, perhaps delaying the message until the preview is computed?  (This also lets the user validate the preview before sending)
- * Receiving clients have the option of going and creating their own preview if one doesn't arrive soon enough (or if the original sender didn't create one)
-
-This is a bit magical though in that the preview could come from two entirely different sources - the sending HS or your local one.  However, this can always be exposed to users: "Generate your own URL previews if none are available?"
-
-This is tantamount also to senders calculating their own thumbnails for sending in advance of the main content - we are trusting the sender not to lie about the content in the thumbnail.  Whereas currently thumbnails are calculated by the receiving homeserver to avoid this attack.
-
-However, this kind of phishing attack does exist whether we let senders pick their thumbnails or not, in that a malicious sender can send normal text messages around the attachment claiming it to be legitimate.  We could rely on (future) reputation/abuse management to punish users who phish (be it with bogus metadata or bogus descriptions).   Bogus metadata is particularly bad though, especially if it's avoidable.
-
-As a first cut, let's do #2 and have the receiver hit the API to calculate its own previews (as it does currently for image thumbnails).  We can then extend/optimise this to option 4 as a special extra if needed.

+# Registration Tokens
+
+This API allows you to manage tokens which can be used to authenticate
+registration requests, as proposed in [MSC3231](https://github.com/govynnus/matrix-doc/blob/token-registration/proposals/3231-token-authenticated-registration.md).
+To use it, you will need to enable the `registration_requires_token` config
+option, and authenticate by providing an `access_token` for a server admin:
+see [Admin API](../../usage/administration/admin_api).
+Note that this API is still experimental; not all clients may support it yet.
+
+
+## Registration token objects
+
+Most endpoints make use of JSON objects that contain details about tokens.
+These objects have the following fields:
+- `token`: The token which can be used to authenticate registration.
+- `uses_allowed`: The number of times the token can be used to complete a
+  registration before it becomes invalid.
+- `pending`: The number of pending uses the token has. When someone uses
+  the token to authenticate themselves, the pending counter is incremented
+  so that the token is not used more than the permitted number of times.
+  When the person completes registration the pending counter is decremented,
+  and the completed counter is incremented.
+- `completed`: The number of times the token has been used to successfully
+  complete a registration.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  To convert this into a human-readable form you can remove the milliseconds
+  and use the `date` command. For example, `date -d '@1625394937'`.
+
+
+## List all tokens
+
+Lists all tokens and details about them. If the request is successful, the top
+level JSON object will have a `registration_tokens` key which is an array of
+registration token objects.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens
+```
+
+Optional query parameters:
+- `valid`: `true` or `false`. If `true`, only valid tokens are returned.
+  If `false`, only tokens that have expired or have had all uses exhausted are
+  returned. If omitted, all tokens are returned regardless of validity.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens
+```
+```

+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+
+## Get one token
+
+Get details about a single token. If the request is successful, the response
+body will be a registration token object.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to return details of.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/abcd
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "abcd",
+    "uses_allowed": 3,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 1,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Create token
+
+Create a new registration token. If the request is successful, the newly created
+token will be returned as a registration token object in the response body.
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+```
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `token`: The registration token. A string of no more than 64 characters that
+  consists only of characters matched by the regex `[A-Za-z0-9-_]`.
+  Default: randomly generated.
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid.
+  Default: `null` (unlimited uses).
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  You could use, for example, `date '+%s000' -d 'tomorrow'`.
+  Default: `null` (token does not expire).
+- `length`: The length of the token randomly generated if `token` is not
+  specified. Must be between 1 and 64 inclusive. Default: `16`.
+
+If a field is omitted the default is used.
+
+Example using defaults:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "0M-9jbkf2t_Tgiw1",
+    "uses_allowed": null,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+Example specifying some fields:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1
+}
+```
+```

+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Update token
+
+Update the number of allowed uses or expiry time of a token. If the request is
+successful, the updated token will be returned as a registration token object
+in the response body.
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to update.
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid. By setting `uses_allowed` to `0`
+  the token can be easily made invalid without deleting it.
+  If `null` the token will have an unlimited number of uses.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  If `null` the token will not expire.
+
+If a field is omitted its value is not modified.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/defg
+
+{
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000    // 2121-07-06 11:05:46 UTC
+}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000
+}
+```
+
+
+## Delete token
+
+Delete a registration token. If the request is successful, the response body
+will be an empty JSON object.
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to delete.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/wxyz
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{}
+```
+
+
+## Errors
+
+If a request fails a "standard error response" will be returned as defined in
+the [Matrix Client-Server API specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#api-standards).
+
+For example, if the token specified in a path parameter does not exist a
+`404 Not Found` error will be returned.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/1234
+```
+```
+404 Not Found
+
+{
+    "errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
+    "error": "No such registration token: 1234"
+}

 solution to fix it is to execute the SQL [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/storage/schema/main/delta/53/user_dir_populate.sql)
 and then restart synapse. This should then start a background task to
 flush the current tables and regenerate the directory.
+
+Data model
+----------
+
+There are five relevant tables that collectively form the "user directory".
+Three of them track a master list of all the users we could search for.
+The last two (collectively called the "search tables") track who can
+see who.
+
+From all of these tables we exclude three types of local user:
+  - support users
+  - appservice users
+  - deactivated users
+
+* `user_directory`. This contains the user_id, display name and avatar we'll
+  return when you search the directory.
+  - Because there's only one directory entry per user, it's important that we only
+    ever put publicly visible names here. Otherwise we might leak a private
+    nickname or avatar used in a private room.
+  - Indexed on rooms. Indexed on users.
+
+* `user_directory_search`. To be joined to `user_directory`. It contains an extra
+  column that enables full text search based on user ids and display names.
+  Different schemas for SQLite and Postgres with different code paths to match.
+  - Indexed on the full text search data. Indexed on users.
+
+* `user_directory_stream_pos`. When the initial background update to populate
+  the directory is complete, we record a stream position here. This indicates
+  that synapse should now listen for room changes and incrementally update
+  the directory where necessary.
+
+* `users_in_public_rooms`. Contains associations between users and the public rooms they're in.
+  Used to determine which users are in public rooms and should be publicly visible in the directory.
+
+* `users_who_share_private_rooms`. Rows are triples `(L, M, room id)` where `L`
+   is a local user and `M` is a local or remote user. `L` and `M` should be
+   different, but this isn't enforced by a constraint.
