Log Message:

Handle userpics subdomain in Plack middleware

The 'userpics' SUBDOMAIN_FUNCTION (e.g., v.dreamwidth.org) was not handled by SubdomainFunction middleware, causing userpic URLs to fall through to the Auth middleware which triggered unnecessary domain session cookie bounces. Under Apache, userpic_trans handles these directly without any auth flow.

Rewrite PATH_INFO from /{picid}/{userid} to /userpic/{picid}/{userid} to match DW::Controller::Userpic's route, and skip the domain session bounce since userpics are public images that don't need authentication.

Log Message:

Add per-entry OpenGraph meta tags for public entries (#3522)

Emit og:title, og:type, og:url, og:site_name, og:description, og:image, article:published_time, article:author, and article:tag for public journal entries so that Discord, Slack, Facebook, and other services can generate meaningful link previews.

Only public entries get these tags — non-public entries keep the existing site-wide defaults (DW logo) to avoid content leakage. All attribute values are escaped with LJ::ehtml(). The entry OG block is prepended to head_content so the entry-specific og:image takes precedence over the site-wide fallback from Page().

Fixes #2206

Log Message:

Fix SES worker to expect S3 action notifications

The SNS notification now comes from the S3 action's topic_arn (terraform change), so receipt.action will always be type S3. Revert the non-S3 skip to a proper error since it would indicate a misconfiguration.

Log Message:

Add max_retries support to TaskQueue to avoid DLQ pileup

Failed SQS tasks that exceed the receive count threshold are now marked complete instead of being left for the dead letter queue. The SQS layer passes ApproximateReceiveCount through to tasks, and start_work checks it against a configurable max_retries option. Applied to dw-embeds where unreachable remote hosts cause repeated failures that fill the DLQ.

Log Message:

Fix domain session cookie bounce not firing under Plack

When a user's domain session cookie is stale (e.g. after re-login gives them a new session ID), the Plack Auth middleware detected the mismatch and set the bounce URL but never actually redirected. The page would render as logged-out instead of bouncing through /misc/get_domain_session to refresh the cookie.

Add the redirect check to the Auth middleware's else branch so all Plack-served pages (journal views, controllers, etc.) get the bounce. Also fix pre-existing test failures in plack-auth.t where MockUser was missing the userid method needed by the RateLimit middleware.

Log Message:

Fix journal subdomain root URI showing homepage instead of journal

DW::Routing->call() in app.psgi was called without a username, so it always used the 'app' role. The homepage route (registered as app-only via /index) matched '/' on journal subdomains, returning a defined value that prevented the journal rendering block from running.

Pass the journal username (from dw.journal_user, set by SubdomainFunction middleware) to routing so it uses the 'user' role, where app-only routes like the homepage don't match.

Log Message:

Add exponential backoff for dead syndicated feeds

Dead feeds (HTTP errors, DNS failures, parse errors) were polled every 1-3 hours forever with no escalation. Add a failcount column to the syndicated table and apply exponential backoff: base_delay * 2^min(failcount, 7), capped at 30 days. Dead feeds settle into ~monthly polling instead of ~2,920 wasted requests per year.

Three backoff modes: escalate (feed/account errors), reset (success or not-modified), hold (our infrastructure issues like nodb/posterror). Reset failcount on URL change (syn_edit), feed merge, and REST ping.

Also converts SynSuck verbose print statements to Log::Log4perl, removes the now-drained legacy synsuck.pl maint worker, and fixes an out-of-scope $user reference in parse_items_from_feed().

Log Message:

Handle unhandled exceptions in SynSuck worker via delay()

When LJ::SynSuck::update_feed() dies with an unhandled exception (e.g. "Hour '24' out of range"), the normal delay() call is never reached, so checknext is never updated. The scheduler immediately re-enqueues the same feed, creating a tight infinite retry loop.

Now the worker catches the exception, calls delay() to push checknext 6 hours into the future with laststatus='exception', and returns COMPLETED. This matches how every other error path in SynSuck already works and is better than the old TheSchwartz behavior (which retried 3 times over 90 minutes then silently gave up without updating checknext or laststatus).
