Currently, when a new scheduled task is added and its scheduled time has
already passed, we set it to ACTIVE. This is problematic, because it
means it will jump the queue ahead of all other SCHEDULED tasks;
furthermore, if the Synapse process gets restarted, it will jump ahead
of any ACTIVE tasks which have been started but are taking a while to
run.
Instead, we leave it set to SCHEDULED, but kick off a call to
`_launch_scheduled_tasks`, which will decide if we actually have
capacity to start a new task, and start the newly-added task if so.
This is a workaround for some proxy setup, where the ETag header gets
stripped from the response headers unless there is a Content-Type header
set.
In particular, we saw this bug when putting Cloudflare in front of
Synapse.
I'm pretty sure this is a Cloudflare bug, as this behaviour isn't
documented anywhere, and doesn't make sense whatsoever.

In a worker-mode deployment, the `E2eKeysHandler` is not necessarily
loaded, which means the handler for the `delete_old_otks` task will not
be registered. Make sure we load the handler.
Introduced in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17934
For context of why we delay read receipts, see
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4730.
Element Web often sends read receipts in quick succession, if it reloads
the timeline it'll send one for the last message in the old timeline and
again for the last message in the new timeline. This caused remote users
to see a read receipt for older messages come through quickly, but then
the second read receipt taking a while to arrive for the most recent
message.
There are two things going on in this PR:
1. There was a mismatch between seconds and milliseconds, and so we
ended up delaying for far longer than intended.
2. Changing the logic to reuse the `DestinationWakeupQueue` (used for
presence)
The changes in logic are:
- Treat the first receipt and subsequent receipts in a room in the same
way
- Whitelist certain classes of receipts to never delay being sent, i.e.
receipts in small rooms, receipts for events that were sent within the
last 60s, and sending receipts to the event sender's server.
- The maximum delay a receipt can have before being sent to a server is
30s, and we'll send out receipts to remotes at least at 50Hz (by
default)
The upshot is that this should make receipts feel more snappy over
federation.
This new logic should send roughly between 10%–20% of transactions
immediately on matrix.org.
To work around the fact that,
pre-https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17903, our database may
have old one-time-keys that the clients have long thrown away the
private keys for, we want to delete OTKs that look like they came from
libolm.
To spread the load a bit, without holding up other background database
updates, we use a scheduled task to do the work.
We were pinned to an old version that had deprecation warnings.
In new versions of the action leaving off properties (i.e. `draft` and
`prerelease`) tells the action to not modify those properties of the
release.
