Description

In T337944: Implement support for requesting client hint header we added support for setting the Accept-CH header on the following workflows:

[web] Special:CreateAccount
[web] Special:UserLogin
[web] Special:UserLogout
[web] Special:PasswordReset
[web] Special:EmailUser
[web] ?action=history (for rollback)
[API] edit handled via postEdit mw.hook (as is non-API editing)

In T258105: Implement storage for User-Agent Client Hints header data we defined database tables to store the data. Currently, editing scenarios write data to these tables (using the postEdit mw.hook).

We need to create record client hint data for:

We could either mark this task as stalled pending the resolution of T258105: Implement storage for User-Agent Client Hints header data, or, we can start building on top of the WIP patch for DB storage.

Dreamy_Jazz added a project: CheckUser.Jul 4 2023, 10:38 PM

Dreamy_Jazz added a subtask: T324907: Create separate tables for log events in CheckUser.Jul 13 2023, 7:32 PM

Actions which produce a public log entry will need to wait for T324907 to be complete (so that the client hints data can be stored under the log ID).

For events which do not have a log ID or revision ID, they will also need to wait for T324907 to be complete as it will reference a row in cu_private_event.

Dreamy_Jazz mentioned this in T341093: Provide public explanation of how and why we make use of high entropy user-agent client hints.Jul 21 2023, 2:53 PM
