This looks like a copy/paste error: the function doesn't reject
anything, but instead allows the action count to go through regardless.
The remainder of the function's documentation appears correct.
Added RHEL/Rocky install instructions (PyPI). Instructions cover
versions 8 and 9 which are the only supported ones - except for RHEL7
which is now on extended life cycle support phase.
Large part of the guide is for installing Python 3.11 or 3.12. RHEL8
ships with Python 3.6 and RHEL9 ships with 3.9. Newer Python versions
can be installed easily as they don't interfere with OS software that
still relies on the default Python version.
I was first planning to add prerequisites part to the prerequisites
section and then install instructions on the top of the page but that
section is for pre-built packages so it just didn't sound right. So I
just dumped everything to the PyPI section of the page. But suggestions
to change are welcome.
I also didn't combine these with Fedora section. I haven't tested those
packages on RHEL and Fedora ships with Python 3.12 out-of-box.
We don't necessarily have `instance_name` for old events (before we
support multiple event persisters). We treat those as if the
`instance_name` was "master".

`bump_stamp` corresponds to the `stream_ordering` of the latest `DEFAULT_BUMP_EVENT_TYPES` in the room. This helps clients sort more readily without them needing to pull in a bunch of the timeline to determine the last activity. `bump_event_types` is a thing because for example, we don't want display name changes to mark the room as unread and bump it to the top. For encrypted rooms, we just have to consider any activity as a bump because we can't see the content and the client has to figure it out for themselves.
Outside of Synapse, `bump_stamp` is just a free-form counter so other implementations could use `received_ts`or `origin_server_ts` (see the [*Security considerations* section in MSC3575 about the potential pitfalls of using `origin_server_ts`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md#security-considerations)). It doesn't have any guarantee about always going up. In the Synapse case, it could go down if an event was redacted/removed (or purged in cases of retention policies).
In the future, we could add `bump_event_types` as [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) mentions if people need to customize the event types.

In the Sliding Sync proxy, a similar [`timestamp` field was added](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/pull/247) for the same purpose but the name is not obvious what it pertains to or what it's for.
The `timestamp` field was also added to Ruma in https://github.com/ruma/ruma/pull/1622
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.
Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.
This can help ensure that the rooms are eventually purged if the other
local users also forget them. Synapse already clears some of the room
information as part of the `_background_remove_left_rooms` background
task, but this doesn't catch `events`, `event_json`, etc.
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17274, hopefully.
Basically, old versions of Synapse could advance streams without
persisting anything in the DB (fixed in #17229). On restart those
updates would get lost, and so the position of the stream would revert
to an older position. If this happened across an upgrade to a later
Synapse version which included #17215, then sync could get blocked
indefinitely (until the stream advanced to the position in the token).
We fix this by bounding the stream positions we'll wait for to the
maximum position of the underlying stream ID generator.

If we leave the `.so` in place it causes the tests to fail, as it gets
picked up (instead of the newly built .so) and so fails with mismatched
GLIBC errors.
Sid now defaults to python3.12, and our pinned version of cffi (1.5.1)
does not have wheels for 3.12. This installing cffi to fail as we did
not have the correct libs installed to build from source.
Fix bug where we don't get new to-device from remote if they resent a
message we've already persisted and have recorded in the DB twice.
`device_federation_inbox` table doesn't have a unique index, and so we
can race and store an entry in there twice. If we do so then
`simple_select_one_txn` will throw an error due to the query returning
more than one row. We should add an unique index, but it doesn't really
matter so lets just handle the case of multiple rows correctly for now.
Fixes up #17333, where we failed to actually send less data (the
`DISTINCT` didn't work due to `stream_id` being different).
We fix this by making it so that every device list outbound poke for a
given user ID has the same stream ID. We can't change the query to only
return e.g. max stream ID as the receivers look up the destinations to
send to by doing `SELECT WHERE stream_id = ?`
