## About the changes
Users could have been created in Unleash without a corresponding event
(a.k.a. audit log), due to a non transactional user insert
([fix](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/pull/10327)). This could have
happened because of providing the wrong role id or some other causes
we're not aware of.
This amends the situation by inserting an event for each user that
exists in the instance (not deleted) and doesn't have it's corresponding
user-created event.
The event is inserted as already announced because this happened in the
past.
The event log will look like this (simulated the situation in local
dev):
```json
{
"id": 11,
"type": "user-created",
"createdBy": "unleash_system_user",
"createdAt": "2025-07-08T16:06:17.428Z",
"createdByUserId": null,
"data": {
"id": "6",
"email": "xyz@three.com"
},
"preData": null,
"tags": [],
"featureName": null,
"project": null,
"environment": null,
"label": "User created",
"summary": "**unleash_system_user** created user ****"
}
```
The main problem is we can't create the event in the past, so this will
have to do it
## About the changes
When inserting a user with an invalid role id, the user creation will
succeed but there will be no record in the audit log.
The API call returns a 400 misleading you to believe the user was not
created, but it actually was.
This makes the whole user creation transactional, so if something fails,
data will be in the right state.
## Testing
The e2e test was split in 2 scenarios, one with smtp and another one
without.
This test was added, and it was failing before adding the transaction,
because when fetching the users, the user was there, despite having
returned a 400 error in the API call:
80a2e65b6f/src/test/e2e/api/admin/user-admin.e2e.test.ts (L181-L204)
#10121 points out that we're using md5 functions still. This PR updates
our migrations to no longer use md5 at all (so if you haven't run the
migrations, you won't get email hashes until you get to the included
migration with this PR). If you've already run the migrations, we'll
drop the existing `email_hash varchar(32)` column and replace it with a
`email_hash TEXT` column.
We're also replacing the md5 function with `encode(sha256(email),
'hex')`. encode has been supported since PG10, sha256 came with PG11.
Do we want an index on the email_hash? I wasn't sure, but if we want to
do lookup we probably should have an index on it (though not a unique
one)
Vitest Pros:
* Automated failing test comments on github PRs
* A nice local UI with incremental testing when changing files (`yarn
test:ui`)
* Also nicely supported in all major IDEs, click to run test works (so
we won't miss what we had with jest).
* Works well with ESM
Vitest Cons:
* The ESBuild transformer vitest uses takes a little longer to transform
than our current SWC/jest setup, however, it is possible to setup SWC as
the transformer for vitest as well (though it only does one transform,
so we're paying ~7-10 seconds instead of ~ 2-3 seconds in transform
phase).
* Exposes how slow our tests are (tongue in cheek here)
We're migrating to ESM, which will allow us to import the latest
versions of our dependencies.

Adding email_hash column to users table.
We will update all existing users to have hashed email.
All new users will also get the hash.
We are fine to use md5, because we just need uniqueness. We have emails
in events table stored anyways, so it is not sensitive.
In preparation for v6, this PR removes usage and references to
`error.description` instead favoring `error.message` (as mentioned
#4380)
I found no references in the front end, so this might be (I believe it
to be) all the required changes.
Lots of work here, mostly because I didn't want to turn off the
`noImplicitAnyLet` lint. This PR tries its best to type all the untyped
lets biome complained about (Don't ask me how many hours that took or
how many lints that was >200...), which in the future will force test
authors to actually type their global variables setup in `beforeAll`.

This commit changes our linter/formatter to biome (https://biomejs.dev/)
Causing our prehook to run almost instantly, and our "yarn lint" task to
run in sub 100ms.
Some trade-offs:
* Biome isn't quite as well established as ESLint
* Are we ready to install a different vscode plugin (the biome plugin)
instead of the prettier plugin
The configuration set for biome also has a set of recommended rules,
this is turned on by default, in order to get to something that was
mergeable I have turned off a couple the rules we seemed to violate the
most, that we also explicitly told eslint to ignore.
### What
In the demo when listing possible users to grant access to your project,
we inadvertently expose emails when listing users you can grant access
to. This PR anonymises the access list on the way out.
### What
We've had this marked as deprecated through our v4, this PR removes it.
### Worth noting
This updates the deprecation notices with removal notices in the
documentation as well.
### Considerations
The tags API is still located under
/api/admin/features/{featureName}/tags. It should be moved to
/api/admin/projects/{project}/features/{featureName}/tags. I vote we do
that in a separate PR, we'd probably also need to deprecate the existing
tags endpoints for v5 and remove in v6. We could use 308s to signify
that they are moved.

This PR implements the first version of a suggested unification (and
documentation) of the errors that we return from the API today.
The goal is for this to be the first step towards the error type defined
in this internal [linear
task](https://linear.app/unleash/issue/1-629/define-the-error-type
'Define the new API error type').
## The state of things today
As things stand, we currently have no (or **very** little) documentation
of the errors that are returned from the API. We mention error codes,
but never what the errors may contain.
Second, there is no specified format for errors, so what they return is
arbitrary, and based on ... Who knows? As a result, we have multiple
different errors returned by the API depending on what operation you're
trying to do. What's more, with OpenAPI validation in the mix, it's
absolutely possible for you to get two completely different error
objects for operations to the same endpoint.
Third, the errors we do return are usually pretty vague and don't really
provide any real help to the user. "You don't have the right
permissions". Great. Well what permissions do I need? And how would I
know? "BadDataError". Sick. Why is it bad?
... You get it.
## What we want to achieve
The ultimate goal is for error messages to serve both humans and
machines. When the user provides bad data, we should tell them what
parts of the data are bad and what they can do to fix it. When they
don't have the right permissions, we should tell them what permissions
they need.
Additionally, it would be nice if we could provide an ID for each error
instance, so that you (or an admin) can look through the logs and locate
he incident.
## What's included in **this** PR?
This PR does not aim to implement everything above. It's not intended to
magically fix everything. Its goal is to implement the necessary
**breaking** changes, so that they can be included in v5. Changing error
messages is a slightly grayer area than changing APIs directly, but
changing the format is definitely something I'd consider breaking.
So this PR:
- defines a minimal version of the error type defined in the [API error
definition linear
task](https://linear.app/unleash/issue/1-629/define-the-error-type).
- aims to catch all errors we return today and wrap them in the error
type
- updates tests to match the new expectations.
An important point: because we are cutting v5 very soon and because work
for this wasn't started until last week, the code here isn't necessarily
very polished. But it doesn't need to be. The internals can be as messy
as we want, as long as the API surface is stable.
That said, I'm very open to feedback about design and code completeness,
etc, but this has intentionally been done quickly.
Please also see my inline comments on the changes for more specific
details.
### Proposed follow-ups
As mentioned, this is the first step to implementing the error type. The
public API error type only exposes `id`, `name`, and `message`. This is
barely any more than most of the previous messages, but they are now all
using the same format. Any additional properties, such as `suggestion`,
`help`, `documentationLink` etc can be added as features without
breaking the current format. This is an intentional limitation of this
PR.
Regarding additional properties: there are some error responses that
must contain extra properties. Some of these are documented in the types
of the new error constructor, but not all. This includes `path` and
`type` properties on 401 errors, `details` on validation errors, and
more.
Also, because it was put together quickly, I don't yet know exactly how
we (as developers) would **prefer** to use these new error messages
within the code, so the internal API (the new type, name, etc), is just
a suggestion. This can evolve naturally over time if (based on feedback
and experience) without changing the public API.
## Returning multiple errors
Most of the time when we return errors today, we only return a single
error (even if many things are wrong). AJV, the OpenAPI integration we
use does have a setting that allows it to return all errors in a request
instead of a single one. I suggest we turn that on, but that we do it in
a separate PR (because it updates a number of other snapshots).
When returning errors that point to `details`, the objects in the
`details` now contain a new `description` property. This "deprecates"
the `message` property. Due to our general deprecation policy, this
should be kept around for another full major and can be removed in v6.
```json
{
"name": "BadDataError",
"message": "Something went wrong. Check the `details` property for more information."
"details": [{
"message": "The .params property must be an object. You provided an array.",
"description": "The .params property must be an object. You provided an array.",
}]
}
```
Previously we hard deleted the users, but due to change requests and
possibly other features in future, we really want to hard-link user
table and have meaningful relationships.
But this means, when user is deleted, all linked data is also deleted.
**Workaround is to soft delete users and just clear users data and keep
the relationships alive for audit logs.**
