-# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
+## Code style
 
 Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
 it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
 file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
 
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
-directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
+Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
+[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
+check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
+locally. You'll need python 3.6 or later, and to install a number of tools:
 
-If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
-Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
+```
+# Install the dependencies
+pip install -e ".[lint]"
 
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.

-# 8. Test, test, test!
-<a name="test-test-test"></a>
-
-While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
-want to test your code.
-
-## Run the linters.
-
-The linters look at your code and do two things:
-
-- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
-- catch a number of errors in your code.
-
-They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
+# Run the linter script
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh
 ```
 
-Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
-Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
+may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.
 
-If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
-(much faster!), you can instead run:
+By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter
+only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
+run-time:
 
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
 ```
-
-Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
 ```
 
-## Run the unit tests.
-
-The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
-was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests
-```
-
-If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
-another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
-```
-
-If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs:
-
-```sh
-less _trial_temp/test.log
-```
-
-## Run the integration tests.
-
-The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
-run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
-anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
-typically catch more errors.
-
-The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
-configuration:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
-```
-
-This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
-
-
-# 9. Submit your patch.
-
-Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
-
-To prepare a Pull Request, please:
-
-1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
-2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
-3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
-4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
-5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
-6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
+Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
+files that were corrected.
 
+Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
+and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
+makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.

-## Installing Synapse
+# Picking a database engine
 
-### Installing from source
+Synapse offers two database engines:
+ * [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org)
+ * [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/)
+
+Almost all installations should opt to use PostgreSQL. Advantages include:
+
+* significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
+  caching model, smarter query optimiser
+* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+
+For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL, please see
+[docs/postgres.md](docs/postgres.md)
+
+By default Synapse uses SQLite and in doing so trades performance for convenience.
+SQLite is only recommended in Synapse for testing purposes or for servers with
+light workloads.

-Requirement for X-Forwarded-Proto header
-----------------------------------------
-
-When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the

-`X-Forwarded-Proto` header on incoming HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse
-will log a warning on each received request.
-
-To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure that
-the reverse proxy sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` header to `https` or `http` to
-indicate the protocol used by the client.
-
-Synapse also requires the `Host` header to be preserved.
-
-See the `reverse proxy documentation <docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_, where the
-example configurations have been updated to show how to set these headers.

-This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:
-
-* If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity
-  provider, you will need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback``
-  to the list of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.
-
-  See `docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md>`_ for more information on setting up OpenID
-  Connect.
-
-* If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity provider, you will
-  need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response`` as a permitted
-  "ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs") at the identity provider.
-
-  The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity provider is also updated to
-  ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml``. If your SAML2 identity
-  provider uses this property to validate or otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration
-  will need to be updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new, separate
-  "EntityDescriptor" in your SAML2 identity provider with the new URLs and leave the URLs in
-  the existing "EntityDescriptor" as they were.
-
-Changes to HTML templates
--------------------------
-
-The HTML templates for SSO and email notifications now have `Jinja2's autoescape <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/api/#autoescaping>`_
-enabled for files ending in ``.html``, ``.htm``, and ``.xml``. If you have customised
-these templates and see issues when viewing them you might need to update them.
-It is expected that most configurations will need no changes.
-
-If you have customised the templates *names* for these templates, it is recommended
-to verify they end in ``.html`` to ensure autoescape is enabled.
-
-The above applies to the following templates:
-
-* ``add_threepid.html``
-* ``add_threepid_failure.html``
-* ``add_threepid_success.html``
-* ``notice_expiry.html``
-* ``notice_expiry.html``
-* ``notif_mail.html`` (which, by default, includes ``room.html`` and ``notif.html``)
-* ``password_reset.html``
-* ``password_reset_confirmation.html``
-* ``password_reset_failure.html``
-* ``password_reset_success.html``
-* ``registration.html``
-* ``registration_failure.html``
-* ``registration_success.html``
-* ``sso_account_deactivated.html``
-* ``sso_auth_bad_user.html``
-* ``sso_auth_confirm.html``
-* ``sso_auth_success.html``
-* ``sso_error.html``
-* ``sso_login_idp_picker.html``
-* ``sso_redirect_confirm.html``
-
-Upgrading to v1.26.0
-====================
-
-Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.25.0 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
-
-3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
-      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
-
-   For PostgreSQL run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
-
-   For SQLite run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
-
-4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
-
-5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-Upgrading to v1.25.0
-====================
-
-Last release supporting Python 3.5
-----------------------------------
-
-This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
-which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
-
-We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
-
-In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
-older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
-and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
-
-Blacklisting IP ranges
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
-``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
-identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
-The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
-``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
-
-If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
-that you remove that setting.
-
-If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
-setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
-
-If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
-need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
-
-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-

-# Running tests against a dockerised Synapse
-
-It's possible to run integration tests against Synapse
-using [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement). Complement is a Matrix Spec
-compliance test suite for homeservers, and supports any homeserver docker image configured
-to listen on ports 8008/8448. This document contains instructions for building Synapse
-docker images that can be run inside Complement for testing purposes.
-
-Note that running Synapse's unit tests from within the docker image is not supported.
-
-## Testing with SQLite and single-process Synapse
-
-> Note that `scripts-dev/complement.sh` is a script that will automatically build 
-> and run an SQLite-based, single-process of Synapse against Complement.
-
-The instructions below will set up Complement testing for a single-process, 
-SQLite-based Synapse deployment.
-
-Start by building the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run tests with the latest
-release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip this step. From the
-root of the repository:
-
-```sh
-docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
-
-Next, build the Synapse image for Complement. You will need a local checkout 
-of Complement. Change to the root of your Complement checkout and run:
-
-```sh
-docker build -t complement-synapse -f "dockerfiles/Synapse.Dockerfile" dockerfiles
-```
-
-This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse`, which can be handed to 
-Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to 
-[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for 
-how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
-
-## Testing with PostgreSQL and single or multi-process Synapse
-
-The above docker image only supports running Synapse with SQLite and in a 
-single-process topology. The following instructions are used to build a Synapse image for 
-Complement that supports either single or multi-process topology with a PostgreSQL 
-database backend.
-
-As with the single-process image, build the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run
-tests with the latest release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip
-this step. From the root of the repository:
-
-```sh
-docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
-
-Next, we build a new image with worker support based on `matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`. 
-Again, from the root of the repository:
-
-```sh
-docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse-workers -f docker/Dockerfile-workers .
-```
-
-This will build an image with the tag` matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`.
-
-It's worth noting at this point that this image is fully functional, and 
-can be used for testing against locally. See instructions for using the container 
-under
-[Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone](#running-the-dockerfile-worker-image-standalone)
-below.
-
-Finally, build the Synapse image for Complement, which is based on
-`matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`. You will need a local checkout of Complement. Change to
-the root of your Complement checkout and run:
-
-```sh
-docker build -t matrixdotorg/complement-synapse-workers -f dockerfiles/SynapseWorkers.Dockerfile dockerfiles
-```
-
-This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse`, which can be handed to
-Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to
-[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for
-how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
-
-## Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone
-
-For manual testing of a multi-process Synapse instance in Docker,
-[Dockerfile-workers](Dockerfile-workers) is a Dockerfile that will produce an image
-bundling all necessary components together for a workerised homeserver instance.
-
-This includes any desired Synapse worker processes, a nginx to route traffic accordingly,
-a redis for worker communication and a supervisord instance to start up and monitor all
-processes. You will need to provide your own postgres container to connect to, and TLS 
-is not handled by the container.
-
-Once you've built the image using the above instructions, you can run it. Be sure 
-you've set up a volume according to the [usual Synapse docker instructions](README.md).
-Then run something along the lines of:
-
-```
-docker run -d --name synapse \
-    --mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
-    -p 8008:8008 \
-    -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host \
-    -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
-    -e POSTGRES_HOST=postgres \
-    -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
-    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=somesecret \
-    -e SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=synchrotron,media_repository,user_dir \
-    -e SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1 \
-    matrixdotorg/synapse-workers
-```
-
-...substituting `POSTGRES*` variables for those that match a postgres host you have 
-available (usually a running postgres docker container).
-
-The `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` environment variable is a comma-separated list of workers to
-use when running the container. All possible worker names are defined by the keys of the
-`WORKERS_CONFIG` variable in [this script](configure_workers_and_start.py), which the
-Dockerfile makes use of to generate appropriate worker, nginx and supervisord config
-files.
-
-Sharding is supported for a subset of workers, in line with the
-[worker documentation](../docs/workers.md). To run multiple instances of a given worker
-type, simply specify the type multiple times in `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES`
-(e.g `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=event_creator,event_creator...`).
-
-Otherwise, `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` can either be left empty or unset to spawn no workers
-(leaving only the main process). The container is configured to use redis-based worker

-Logs for workers and the main process are logged to stdout and can be viewed with 
-standard `docker logs` tooling. Worker logs contain their worker name 
-after the timestamp.
-
-Setting `SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1` will cause worker logs to be written to
-`<data_dir>/logs/<worker_name>.log`. Logs are kept for 1 week and rotate every day at 00:
-00, according to the container's clock. Logging for the main process must still be 
-configured by modifying the homeserver's log config in your Synapse data volume.

-**URL parameters:**
-
-* `limit`: integer - Is optional but is used for pagination, denoting the maximum number
-  of items to return in this call. Defaults to `100`.
-* `from`: integer - Is optional but used for pagination, denoting the offset in the
-  returned results. This should be treated as an opaque value and not explicitly set to
-  anything other than the return value of `next_token` from a previous call. Defaults to `0`.
-* `dir`: string - Direction of event report order. Whether to fetch the most recent
-  first (`b`) or the oldest first (`f`). Defaults to `b`.

-## Undoing room shutdowns
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.
-
-You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
-
-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
-
-## Deprecated endpoint
-
-The previous deprecated API will be removed in a future release, it was:
-
-```
-POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete
-```
-
-It behaves the same way than the current endpoint except the path and the method.
-
-# Make Room Admin API
-
-Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.
-If the user is not in the room, and it is not publicly joinable, then invite the user.
-
-By default the server admin (the caller) is granted power, but another user can
-optionally be specified, e.g.:
-
-```
-    POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/make_room_admin
-    {
-        "user_id": "@foo:example.com"
-    }

-
-# Forward Extremities Admin API
-
-Enables querying and deleting forward extremities from rooms. When a lot of forward
-extremities accumulate in a room, performance can become degraded. For details, see 
-[#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
-
-## Check for forward extremities
-
-To check the status of forward extremities for a room:
-
-```
-    GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
-```
-
-A response as follows will be returned:
-
-```json

-the related issue [#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).

-  denoting the offset in the returned results. This should be treated as an opaque value
-  and not explicitly set to anything other than the return value of `next_token` from a
-  previous call. Defaults to `0`.
-* `order_by` - string - The method in which to sort the returned list of users. Valid values are:
-  - `user_id` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `user_id`. This is the default.
-  - `displayname` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `displayname`.
-  - `media_length` - Users are ordered by the total size of uploaded media in bytes.
-    Smallest to largest.
-  - `media_count` - Users are ordered by number of uploaded media. Smallest to largest.
-* `from_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or later. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `until_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or earlier. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `search_term` - string - Filter users by their user ID localpart **or** displayname.
-  The search term can be found in any part of the string.
-  Defaults to no filtering.
-* `dir` - string - Direction of order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards.
-  Setting this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.

-
-  - ``name`` - Users are ordered alphabetically by ``name``. This is the default.
-  - ``is_guest`` - Users are ordered by ``is_guest`` status.

-  - ``avatar_url`` - Users are ordered alphabetically by avatar URL.
-
-- ``dir`` - Direction of media order. Either ``f`` for forwards or ``b`` for backwards.
-  Setting this value to ``b`` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to ``f``.
-
-Caution. The database only has indexes on the columns ``name`` and ``created_ts``.
-This means that if a different sort order is used (``is_guest``, ``admin``,

-# Auth Chain Difference Algorithm
-
-The auth chain difference algorithm is used by V2 state resolution, where a
-naive implementation can be a significant source of CPU and DB usage.
-
-### Definitions
-
-A *state set* is a set of state events; e.g. the input of a state resolution
-algorithm is a collection of state sets.
-
-The *auth chain* of a set of events are all the events' auth events and *their*
-auth events, recursively (i.e. the events reachable by walking the graph induced
-by an event's auth events links).
-
-The *auth chain difference* of a collection of state sets is the union minus the
-intersection of the sets of auth chains corresponding to the state sets, i.e an
-event is in the auth chain difference if it is reachable by walking the auth
-event graph from at least one of the state sets but not from *all* of the state
-sets.
-
-## Breadth First Walk Algorithm
-
-A way of calculating the auth chain difference without calculating the full auth
-chains for each state set is to do a parallel breadth first walk (ordered by
-depth) of each state set's auth chain. By tracking which events are reachable
-from each state set we can finish early if every pending event is reachable from
-every state set.
-
-This can work well for state sets that have a small auth chain difference, but
-can be very inefficient for larger differences. However, this algorithm is still
-used if we don't have a chain cover index for the room (e.g. because we're in
-the process of indexing it).
-
-## Chain Cover Index
-
-Synapse computes auth chain differences by pre-computing a "chain cover" index
-for the auth chain in a room, allowing efficient reachability queries like "is
-event A in the auth chain of event B". This is done by assigning every event a
-*chain ID* and *sequence number* (e.g. `(5,3)`), and having a map of *links*
-between chains (e.g. `(5,3) -> (2,4)`) such that A is reachable by B (i.e. `A`
-is in the auth chain of `B`) if and only if either:
-
-1. A and B have the same chain ID and `A`'s sequence number is less than `B`'s
-   sequence number; or
-2. there is a link `L` between `B`'s chain ID and `A`'s chain ID such that
-   `L.start_seq_no` <= `B.seq_no` and `A.seq_no` <= `L.end_seq_no`.
-
-There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from
-each chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links
-graph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the
-links graph) e.g. if we have chains `C3 -> C2 -> C1` then the link `C3 -> C1`
-would not be stored. Synapse uses the former implementations so that it doesn't
-need to recurse to test reachability between chains.
-
-### Example
-
-An example auth graph would look like the following, where chains have been
-formed based on type/state_key and are denoted by colour and are labelled with
-`(chain ID, sequence number)`. Links are denoted by the arrows (links in grey
-are those that would be remove in the second implementation described above).
-
-![Example](auth_chain_diff.dot.png)
-
-Note that we don't include all links between events and their auth events, as
-most of those links would be redundant. For example, all events point to the
-create event, but each chain only needs the one link from it's base to the
-create event.
-
-## Using the Index
-
-This index can be used to calculate the auth chain difference of the state sets
-by looking at the chain ID and sequence numbers reachable from each state set:
-
-1. For every state set lookup the chain ID/sequence numbers of each state event
-2. Use the index to find all chains and the maximum sequence number reachable
-   from each state set.
-3. The auth chain difference is then all events in each chain that have sequence
-   numbers between the maximum sequence number reachable from *any* state set and
-   the minimum reachable by *all* state sets (if any).
-
-Note that steps 2 is effectively calculating the auth chain for each state set
-(in terms of chain IDs and sequence numbers), and step 3 is calculating the
-difference between the union and intersection of the auth chains.
-
-### Worked Example
-
-For example, given the above graph, we can calculate the difference between
-state sets consisting of:
-
-1. `S1`: Alice's invite `(4,1)` and Bob's second join `(2,2)`; and
-2. `S2`: Alice's second join `(4,3)` and Bob's first join `(2,1)`.
-
-Using the index we see that the following auth chains are reachable from each
-state set:
-
-1. `S1`: `(1,1)`, `(2,2)`, `(3,1)` & `(4,1)`
-2. `S2`: `(1,1)`, `(2,1)`, `(3,2)` & `(4,3)`
-
-And so, for each the ranges that are in the auth chain difference:
-1. Chain 1: None, (since everything can reach the create event).
-2. Chain 2: The range `(1, 2]` (i.e. just `2`), as `1` is reachable by all state
-   sets and the maximum reachable is `2` (corresponding to Bob's second join).
-3. Chain 3: Similarly the range `(1, 2]` (corresponding to the second power
-   level).
-4. Chain 4: The range `(1, 3]` (corresponding to both of Alice's joins).
-
-So the final result is: Bob's second join `(2,2)`, the second power level
-`(3,2)` and both of Alice's joins `(4,2)` & `(4,3)`.

-Deprecation Policy for Platform Dependencies
-============================================
-
-Synapse has a number of platform dependencies, including Python and PostgreSQL.
-This document outlines the policy towards which versions we support, and when we
-drop support for versions in the future.
-
-
-Policy
-------
-
-Synapse follows the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL,
-i.e. when a version reaches End of Life Synapse will withdraw support for that
-version in future releases.
-
-Details on the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL are
-documented at https://endoflife.date/python and
-https://endoflife.date/postgresql.
-
-
-Context
--------
-
-It is important for system admins to have a clear understanding of the platform
-requirements of Synapse and its deprecation policies so that they can
-effectively plan upgrading their infrastructure ahead of time. This is
-especially important in contexts where upgrading the infrastructure requires
-auditing and approval from a security team, or where otherwise upgrading is a
-long process.
-
-By following the upstream support life cycles Synapse can ensure that its
-dependencies continue to get security patches, while not requiring system admins
-to constantly update their platform dependencies to the latest versions.

 ### Lifetime limits
 
-Server admins can set limits on the values of `max_lifetime` to use when
-purging old events in a room. These limits can be defined as such in the
-`retention` section of the configuration file:
+**Note: this feature is mainly useful within a closed federation or on
+servers that don't federate, because there currently is no way to
+enforce these limits in an open federation.**
+
+Server admins can restrict the values their local users are allowed to
+use for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`. These limits can be
+defined as such in the `retention` section of the configuration file:
 
 ```yaml
   allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
   allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
 ```
 
-The limits are considered when running purge jobs. If necessary, the
-effective value of `max_lifetime` will be brought between
-`allowed_lifetime_min` and `allowed_lifetime_max` (inclusive).
-This means that, if the value of `max_lifetime` defined in the room's state
-is lower than `allowed_lifetime_min`, the value of `allowed_lifetime_min`
-will be used instead. Likewise, if the value of `max_lifetime` is higher
-than `allowed_lifetime_max`, the value of `allowed_lifetime_max` will be
-used instead.
-
-In the example above, we ensure Synapse never deletes events that are less
-than one day old, and that it always deletes events that are over a year
-old.
-
-If a default policy is set, and its `max_lifetime` value is lower than
-`allowed_lifetime_min` or higher than `allowed_lifetime_max`, the same
-process applies.
-
-Both parameters are optional; if one is omitted Synapse won't use it to
-adjust the effective value of `max_lifetime`.
+Here, `allowed_lifetime_min` is the lowest value a local user can set
+for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`, and `allowed_lifetime_max`
+is the highest value. Both parameters are optional (e.g. setting
