# Which Problems Are Solved
There were still some emails (passkey registration and domain claimed)
sent with links pointing to login v1 even when the login v2 was enabled
for the instance.
Also while looking into the issue, it was discovered that some links
pointing to login V2 were not correctly generated.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added default paths for passkey registration and domain claimed
notifications
- Fixed the existing paths to properly handle concatenation (resp. use
`url.ResolveReference`)
- Change their go types (from string) to `*url.URL`
- Added a mapstructure hook for string to url
- Removed unnecessary `InstanceSetupFeatures` and corresponding
conversions
- Refactored the methods on the `login.DefaultPaths` struct and added an
interface to the `Commands` to only need to pass a single config (and
not every method)
- Added an `OriginURL` method to the `DomainCtx` to prevent going from
url to string and back
- Added the use of the templates in case of enabled login v2 for passkey
registration and domain claimed)

## Which problems are solved
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/11484 introduced a regression
that causes the setup process to fail on existing Zitadel deployments.
This prevents users from upgrading to recent versions without
encountering setup failures.
## How the problems are solved
Setup step 69 has been corrected to properly handle existing deployment
configurations and prevent setup failures during initialization and
upgrades.
## Additional Context
introduced by
[7a41fe968b](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/commit/7a41fe968b9fcb69b378336740b74e5448c1ff81)
### Testing
- [x] Verified setup succeeds on fresh deployments
- [x] Verified setup succeeds on existing deployments
- [x] Verified migration from PostgreSQL 17 to 18 after running setup of
this version
# Which Problems Are Solved
Streams allow differentiating logs produced by different components of
Zitadel.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The `backend/v3/instrumentation/logging` package now exposes convenience
function for setting and getting a logger from the context. As well as
high-level functions to emit log records at various levels. When
constructing a new logger a "stream" needs to be specified:
- **runtime**: General runtime logs, such as startup and shutdown
messages. Default for logs that do not belong to the other categories.
- **request**: Logs for incoming API and HTTP requests.
- **event_handler**: Logs for event handling in projections.
- **queue**: Logs for the job queue processing.
- **event_pusher**: Logs for event pushing to the database. Disabled by
default, contains sensitive information.
Each line from the returned logger contains a `stream` field as well as
a `version` field with the current Zitadel version.
## Runtime config
Streams can be enabled by passing an array of stream names in the
runtime config. Because some log streams may contain sensitive data
(especially events), it is now also possible to mask values by their
key.
# Additional Changes
- Wrap `slogctx` in the `logging` package. (Except API error converter
packages, because of import cycle)
- Add some docs to `logging` package so other devs understand how to add
logging to Zitadel
- Add `logging.OnError` and `logging.WithError` helper functions with
`Panic()` and `Fatal()` methods, to preserve current calls in the `cmd`
packages.
- Add instance context extractor.
- Only output request details in the request info log. Request ID
remains propagated through context.
- Moved middleware functionality into protocol specific packages.
- Removed setting of URI to context in metric middleware. There were ony
setters and no getters. (Unused value)
- Reuse a single statusWriter in the middleware package for middlewares
that need to know the response status.

# Which Problems Are Solved
When starting Zitadel with Postgres version 18, setup fails with the
following error:
`level=error msg="migration failed" caller=".../cmd/setup/setup.go:373"
code=0A000 detail= error="ERROR: partitioned tables cannot be unlogged
(SQLSTATE 0A000)" hint= message="partitioned tables cannot be unlogged"
name=34_add_cache_schema severity=ERROR`
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Modify setup step 34 to ensure compatibility with PostgreSQL 18 by
changing the creation of the partitioned tables to`LOGGED` tables but
keep the partitions `UNLOGGED`.
- Added an additional setup step which alters the table persistence of
the partitioned tables to `LOGGED`.
# Additional Changes
- Bumped Postgres compatibility to version 18 in docs.
- Ensure default partitions for cache tables
## Additional Context
- closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/10712
- backport to v4
- migration from PostgreSQL version 17 to 18 was verified using
`pg_dumpall` and restoring the created backup file
- and new setups using PostgreSQL version 18 directly

# Which Problems Are Solved
The current back-channel logout notification still used a single
projection handler for handling terminating sessions and notifying the
necessary clients. This can lead to back pressure and delayed
notifications.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The handler now only creates a job in the (river) worker queue to handle
the notification.
The worker will then search for all necessary clients to be informed and
create a job for each.
These jobs will then be picked up by the (same) worker(s) again, which
will create, sign and send the logout token to the client. If one
notification fails, this one job will be retired, but others can still
be processed in parallel and ore not affected.
Each successful job will still create an event on the session stating
the successful notification of the client.
The existing `OIDC.DefaultBackChannelLogoutLifetime` configuration has
been deprecated in favor of making it part of the new
`OIDC.BackChannelLogout` config.
# Additional Changes

# Additional Context
- feature check is still executed and will be removed seperately for

- requires backport to v4.x
# Which Problems Are Solved
Zitadel did not provide easy correlation between errors, logs, traces
and metrics. The configuration for those instrumentations was also not
consistent, with some supporting different exporters then others.
Implementation and parsing of config was also spaghettified over
multiple packages, with awkward parsing and inconsistent naming of
options.
# How the Problems Are Solved
All telemetry is now merged under the name "instrumentation". Why?
1. We thought it was a good idea in the past to call the milestone
exporter `Telemtry` in the runtime config. Calling this `TelemetryV2`
looks weird.
2. Not everything is a meter and not everything is sent (tele...).
3. It's also
[defined](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/instrumentation/) as
such by the OTEL documentation.
## New features
- Adds structured, context based logging with trace-ID awareness
- Static log fields are added to the context, such as service and
request path
- Static log fields are injected in each logline emitted by the
application
- Structured logs can also be send to an otel exporter
- Structured logs can be printed to StdErr in text and JSON format
- Error sinks make sure every error is logged at the correct level:
- Warnings for client side errors (HTTP 400 range, Invalid request etc)
- Error for server side errors (Internal server errors)
- Metrics can now also be send to a OTEL collector. (previously they
could only be scraped from `/debug/metrics` with prometheus)
## Exporters
This change adds all the exporters supported by OTEL upstream and some
google specific exporters for our cloud deployment.
- StdOut / StdErr: all instrumentations
- OTEL gRPC / HTTP: all instrumentations
- Google: all instrumentations except logging
- Prometheus (pull-based): only metrics
The exception is profiling, which only supports the google exporting due
to lack of support by OTEL upstream.
## Configuration and structure
- All instrumentation is moved into the new `backend/v3/instrumentation`
package. It reuses configuration types, so both code and runtime
configuration are easier to understand.
- The `internal/telemetry` packages are removed.
- Instrumentation is started with a single function and a proper
shutdown function is now provided.
- Legacy configuration is still parsed from the runtime config, as long
as the new configuration is disabled. This allows backporting this
feature to v4 without breaking existing configurations.
# Additional Changes
- Devcontainer: set `$PATH` variable so installed go binaries can be run
individually, without NX.
- NX: install GCI tool to fix imports

# Which Problems Are Solved
The payload in actions V2 is currently sent as JSON to the target
endpoint. It might get exposed to intermediary infrastructure or logging
systems.
For these scenarios there needs to be an application-layer encryption,
where the provider of the endpoint can define an key to be used for the
encryption.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added an additional option to the target to specify the payload type:
`JSON` (current and default), `JWT`, `JWE` (api and console)
- added endpoints to upload and manage public keys (to be used for
encryption) for a target
- updated all action v2 executions (interceptors, oidc, saml, ...) to
provide the `GetActiveSigningWebKey` from queries
- implemented jwt and jwe in the exections incl. refactoring of code and
tests
- changes to the authn_keys table:
- added a `fingerprint` column
- dropped not null constraint on expiration
- moved the `GetSignerOnce` into its own package to prevent circular
dependencies

The change was introduced in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/11178.
The fix is to prevent wiping the memberships because the projection did
not init yet.
### Changes
- Introduces a check to determine if the member role synchronization
should be executed based on the existence of a specific database table
(`projections.instance_members4`).
- Ensures that the synchronization process only runs if the required
table is present in the database.
# Which Problems Are Solved
Zitadel v4.7.2 fixed a security issue by switching to the permission v2
framework for user APIs. It appears that systems that are running since
before v2.68 that were affected by a precision bug in the eventstore,
which was fixed in that version. The precision bug results in certain
events being "skipped" while being projected into the fields table, used
by the new permission system. This caused certain membership roles to be
missing, resulting in empty user lists when executed by the affected
member. The permission system basically finds no matching memberships
and therefore returns no users at all.
# How the Problems Are Solved
After research we concluded that the legacy membership projections are
projected correctly. This PR synchronizes the projected state into the
fields table. As the membership roles are not marked unique, all rows
are first deleted and then the correct membership roles are then
inserted. The operation happens in a single transaction, during which
the fields table will remain locked for modifications. This to prevent
possible concurrent modifications to membership states.

One-time recovery codes are a common multi-factor authentication (MFA)
backup method, letting users access their account if they lose other MFA
devices. Support for recovery codes can also reduce support burden for
users locked out of their accounts and provide a more secure and
reliable form of verification than security questions.
# Which Problems Are Solved
Zitadel currently lacks support for recovery codes.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR partially addresses recovery code support in Zitadel.
Importantly, it adds recovery codes as a new 2FA `Factor` and an
additional `Check` type for the Session API.
```
Example recovery code flow:
1. User generates N new recovery codes using `POST /v2/users/{user_id}/recovery_codes`
2. Zitadel hashes and stores these codes and returns the un-hashed codes in the response
3. User creates new session with an additional check: `recoveryCode`
4. Code is checked against hash and, if valid, cannot be used again
5. User attempts to adds N more codes using the same endpoint
6. If `remaining_codes + N <= RecoveryCodes->MaxCount` config value, then recovery codes are added in addition to original codes
7. User can remove all recovery codes using `DEL /v2/users/:userId/recovery_codes`
```
This PR adds:
- [x] Session recovery_code check support on `POST+PATCH /v2/sessions`
endpoints
- [x] Adds `mfa_recovery_code_checked_at` column (default null) to
`projections.sessions8` table
- [x] Support for `SECOND_FACTOR_TYPE_RECOVERY_CODES` as available 2FA
method on login policy
- [x] Support for importing recovery codes in /import code
Missing, will _not_ implement in this PR:
- [ ] Admin console support for displaying Recovery Code settings for
user(s)
- [ ] Zitadel Typescript login support for recovery codes
TODO:
- [x] Additional unit and integration tests
- [x] Error translations

# Which Problems Are Solved
Replaces Turbo by Nx and lays the foundation for the next CI
improvements. It enables using Nx Cloud to speed the up the pipelines
that affect any node package.
It streamlines the dev experience for frontend and backend developers by
providing the following commands:
| Task | Command | Notes |
|------|---------|--------|
| **Production** | `nx run PROJECT:prod` | Production server |
| **Develop** | `nx run PROJECT:dev` | Hot reloading development server
|
| **Test** | `nx run PROJECT:test` | Run all tests |
| **Lint** | `nx run PROJECT:lint` | Check code style |
| **Lint Fix** | `nx run PROJECT:lint-fix` | Auto-fix style issues |
The following values can be used for PROJECT:
- @zitadel/zitadel (root commands)
- @zitadel/api,
- @zitadel/login,
- @zitadel/console,
- @zitadel/docs,
- @zitadel/client
- @zitadel/proto
The project names and folders are streamlined:
| Old Folder | New Folder |
| --- | --- |
| ./e2e | ./tests/functional-ui |
| ./load-test | ./benchmark |
| ./build/zitadel | ./apps/api |
| ./console | ./apps/console (postponed so the PR is reviewable) |
Also, all references to the TypeScript repo are removed so we can
archive it.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Ran `npx nx@latest init`
- Replaced all turbo.json by project.json and fixed the target configs
- Removed Turbo dependency
- All JavaScript related code affected by a PRs changes is
quality-checked using the `nx affected` command
- We move PR checks that are runnable using Nx into the `check`
workflow. For workflows where we don't use Nx, yet, we restore
previously built dependency artifacts from Nx.
- We only use a single and easy to understand dev container
- The CONTRIBUTING.md is streamlined
- The setup with a generated client pat is orchestrated with Nx
- Everything related to the TypeScript repo is updated or removed. A
**Deploy with Vercel** button is added to the docs and the
CONTRIBUTING.md.
# Additional Changes
- NPM package names have a consistent pattern.
- Docker bake is removed. The login container is built and released like
the core container.
- The integration tests build the login container before running, so
they don't rely on the login container action anymore. This fixes
consistently failing checks on PRs from forks.
- The docs build in GitHub actions is removed, as we already build on
Vercel.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Depending on the metadata values (already existing), the newly created
index (#10415) cannot be created or error in the future.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Create the index using `sha256` and change the query to use sha256 as
well when comparing bytes values such as user_metadata.
- Added a setup step to cleanup potentially created index on
`projections.user_metadata5`
# Additional Changes

A timing issue (a race condition) was identified in our event processing
system. Under specific circumstances, it was possible for the system to
skip processing certain events, leading to potential data
inconsistencies.
## Which problems are solved
The system tracks its progress through the event log using timestamps.
The issue occurred because we were using the timestamp from the start of
a database transaction. If a query to read new events began after the
transaction started but before the new event was committed, the query
would not see the new event and would fail to process it.
## How the problems are solved
The fix is to change which timestamp is used for tracking. We now use
the precise timestamp of when the event is actually written to the
database. This ensures that the event's timestamp is always correctly
ordered, closing the timing gap and preventing the race condition.
This change enhances the reliability and integrity of our event
processing pipeline. It guarantees that all events are processed in the
correct order and eliminates the risk of skipped events, ensuring data
is always consistent across the system.
## Additional information
original fix: https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/10560
# Which Problems Are Solved
There was an left-behind index introduced to optimize the old and
removed event execution handler. The index confuses prostgres and it
sometimes picks this index in favor of the projection specific index.
This sometimes leads to bad query performance in the projectio handlers.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Drop the index

# Which Problems Are Solved
Using the service ping, we want to have some additional insights to how
zitadel is configured. The current resource count report contains
already some amount of configured policies, such as the login_policy.
But we do not know if for example MFA is enforced.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added the following counts to the report:
- service users per organization
- MFA enforcements (though login policy)
- Notification policies with password change option enabled
- SCIM provisioned users (using user metadata)
- Since all of the above are conditional based on at least a column
inside a projection, a new `migration.CountTriggerConditional` has been
added, where a condition (column values) and an option to track updates
on that column should be considered for the count.
- For this to be possible, the following changes had to be made to the
existing sql resources:
- the `resource_name` has been added to unique constraint on the
`projection.resource_counts` table
- triggers have been added / changed to individually track `INSERT`,
`UPDATE`(s) and `DELETE` and be able to handle conditions
- an optional argument has been added to the
`projections.count_resource()` function to allow providing the
information to `UP` or `DOWN` count the resource on an update.
# Additional Changes

This PR initiates the rework of Zitadel's backend to state-persisted
objects. This change is a step towards a more scalable and maintainable
architecture.
## Changes
* **New `/backend/v3` package**: A new package structure has been
introduced to house the reworked backend logic. This includes:
* `domain`: Contains the core business logic, commands, and repository
interfaces.
* `storage`: Implements the repository interfaces for database
interactions with new transactional tables.
* `telemetry`: Provides logging and tracing capabilities.
* **Transactional Tables**: New database tables have been defined for
`instances`, `instance_domains`, `organizations`, and `org_domains`.
* **Projections**: New projections have been created to populate the new
relational tables from the existing event store, ensuring data
consistency during the migration.
* **Repositories**: New repositories provide an abstraction layer for
accessing and manipulating the data in the new tables.
* **Setup**: A new setup step for `TransactionalTables` has been added
to manage the database migrations for the new tables.
This PR lays the foundation for future work to fully transition to
state-persisted objects for these components, which will improve
performance and simplify data access patterns.
This PR initiates the rework of ZITADEL's backend to state-persisted
objects. This is a foundational step towards a new architecture that
will improve performance and maintainability.
The following objects are migrated from event-sourced aggregates to
state-persisted objects:
* Instances
* incl. Domains
* Orgs
* incl. Domains
The structure of the new backend implementation follows the software
architecture defined in this [wiki
page](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/wiki/Software-Architecturel).
This PR includes:
* The initial implementation of the new transactional repositories for
the objects listed above.
* Projections to populate the new relational tables from the existing
event store.
* Adjustments to the build and test process to accommodate the new
backend structure.
This is a work in progress and further changes will be made to complete
the migration.

# Additional Changes
- spellchecks
- updated apis on load tests
# additional info
needs cherry pick to v3
# Which Problems Are Solved
Add the ability to keep track of the current counts of projection
resources. We want to prevent calling `SELECT COUNT(*)` on tables, as
that forces a full scan and sudden spikes of DB resource uses.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- A resource_counts table is added
- Triggers that increment and decrement the counted values on inserts
and deletes
- Triggers that delete all counts of a table when the source table is
TRUNCATEd. This is not in the business logic, but prevents wrong counts
in case someone want to force a re-projection.
- Triggers that delete all counts if the parent resource is deleted
- Script to pre-populate the resource_counts table when a new source
table is added.
The triggers are reusable for any type of resource, in case we choose to
add more in the future.
Counts are aggregated by a given parent. Currently only `instance` and
`organization` are defined as possible parent. This can later be
extended to other types, such as `project`, should the need arise.
I deliberately chose to use `parent_id` to distinguish from the
de-factor `resource_owner` which is usually an organization ID. For
example:
- For users the parent is an organization and the `parent_id` matches
`resource_owner`.
- For organizations the parent is an instance, but the `resource_owner`
is the `org_id`. In this case the `parent_id` is the `instance_id`.
- Applications would have a similar problem, where the parent is a
project, but the `resource_owner` is the `org_id`

# Which Problems Are Solved
Currently if a user signs in using an IdP, once they sign out of
Zitadel, the corresponding IdP session is not terminated. This can be
the desired behavior. In some cases, e.g. when using a shared computer
it results in a potential security risk, since a follower user might be
able to sign in as the previous using the still open IdP session.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Admins can enabled a federated logout option on SAML IdPs through the
Admin and Management APIs.
- During the termination of a login V1 session using OIDC end_session
endpoint, Zitadel will check if an IdP was used to authenticate that
session.
- In case there was a SAML IdP used with Federated Logout enabled, it
will intercept the logout process, store the information into the shared
cache and redirect to the federated logout endpoint in the V1 login.
- The V1 login federated logout endpoint checks every request on an
existing cache entry. On success it will create a SAML logout request
for the used IdP and either redirect or POST to the configured SLO
endpoint. The cache entry is updated with a `redirected` state.
- A SLO endpoint is added to the `/idp` handlers, which will handle the
SAML logout responses. At the moment it will check again for an existing
federated logout entry (with state `redirected`) in the cache. On
success, the user is redirected to the initially provided
`post_logout_redirect_uri` from the end_session request.

# Which Problems Are Solved
We saw high CPU usage if many events were created on the database. This
was caused by the new actions which query for all event types and
aggregate types.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- the handler of action execution does not filter for aggregate and
event types.
- the index for `instance_id` and `position` is reenabled.
# Additional Changes

# Which Problems Are Solved
#9837 added a new index `es_instance_position` on the events table with
the idea to improve performance for some projections. Unfortunately, it
makes it worse for almost all projections and would only improve the
situation for the events handler of the actions V2 subscriptions.
# How the Problems Are Solved

The execution handler projection handles all events to check if an
execution has to be provided to the worker to execute.
In this logic all events would be processed from the beginning which is
not necessary.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Add the current state to the execution handler projection, to avoid
processing all existing events.
# Additional Changes
Add custom configuration to the default, so that the transactions are
limited to some events.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Some projection queries took a long time to run. It seems that 1 or more
queries couldn't make proper use of the `es_projection` index. This
might be because of a specific complexity aggregate_type and event_type
arguments, making the index unfeasible for postgres.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Following the index recommendation, add and index that covers just
instance_id and position.

# Which Problems Are Solved
When running a long-running Zitadel Setup, Kubernetes might decide to
move a pod to a new node automatically. Currently, this puts any
migrations into a broken state that an operator needs to manually run
the "cleanup" command on - assuming they catch the error.
The only super long running commands are typically projection pre-fill
operations, which depending on the size of the event table for that
projection, can take many hours - plenty of time for Kubernetes to make
unexpected decisions, especially in a busy cluster.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This change listens on `os.Interrupt` and `syscall.SIGTERM`, cancels the
current Setup context, and runs the `Cleanup` command. The logs then
look something like this:
```shell

```
# Additional Changes
* `mustExecuteMigration` -> `executeMigration`: **must**Execute logged a
Fatal error previously which calls os.Exit so no cleanup was possible.
Instead, this PR returns an error and assigns it to a shared error in
the Setup closure that defer can check.
* `initProjections` now returns an error instead of exiting
# Additional Context
This behavior might be unwelcome or at least unexpected in some cases.
Putting it behind a feature flag or config setting is likely a good
followup.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Add the possibility to filter project resources based on project member
roles.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Extend and refactor existing Pl/PgSQL functions to implement the
following:
- Solve O(n) complexity in returned resources IDs by returning a boolean
filter for instance level permissions.
- Individually permitted orgs are returned only if there was no instance
permission
- Individually permitted projects are returned only if there was no
instance permission
- Because of the multiple filter terms, use `INNER JOIN`s instead of
`WHERE` clauses.
# Additional Changes
- system permission function no longer query the organization view and
therefore can be `immutable`, giving big performance benefits for
frequently reused system users. (like our hosted login in Zitadel cloud)
- The permitted org and project functions are now defined as `stable`
because the don't modify on-disk data. This might give a small
performance gain
- The Pl/PgSQL functions are now tested using Go unit tests.
# Additional Context
- Depends on https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/9677
- Part of https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9188
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9190
# Which Problems Are Solved
With v2.71.0 the `idp_templates6_ldap3` projection was created but never
filled, as it was a subtable. To fix this we altered the
`idp_templates6_ldap3` to `idp_templates6_ldap2` with v2.71.5.
This was unfortunately without a check that the `idp_templates_ldap2`was
already existing, which resulted in an error in the setup step.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Add check if `idp_templates6_ldap2` is already existing, before renaming
`idp_templates6_ldap3` -> `idp_templates6_ldap2`.
# Additional Changes

# Which Problems Are Solved
With current provided telemetry it's difficult to predict when a
projection handler is under increased load until it's too late and
causes downstream issues. Importantly, projection updating is in the
critical path for many login flows and increased latency there can
result in system downtime for users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds three new prometheus-style metrics:
1. **projection_events_processed** (_labels: projection, success_) -
This metric gives us a counter of the number of events processed per
projection update run and whether they we're processed without error. A
high number of events being processed can let us know how busy a
particular projection handler is.
2. **projection_handle_timer** _(labels: projection)_ - This is the time
it takes to process a projection update given a batch of events - time
to take the current_states lock, query for new events, reduce,
update_the projection, and update current_states.
3. **projection_state_latency** _(labels: projection)_ - This is the
time from the last event processed in the current_states table for a
given projection. It tells us how old was the last event you processed?
Or, how far behind are you running for this projection? Higher latencies
could mean high load or stalled projection handling.
# Additional Changes
I also had to initialize the global otel metrics provider (`metrics.M`)
in the `setup` step additionally to `start` since projection handlers
are initialized at setup. The initialization checks if a metrics
provider is already set (in case of `start-from-setup` or
`start-from-init` to prevent overwriting, which causes the otel metrics
provider to stop working.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Setup fails to push all role permission events when running Zitadel with
CockroachDB. `TransactionRetryError`s were visible in logs which finally
times out the setup job with `timeout: context deadline exceeded`
# How the Problems Are Solved
As suggested in the [Cockroach documentation](timeout: context deadline
exceeded), _"break down larger transactions"_. The commands to be pushed
for the role permissions are chunked in 50 events per push. This
chunking is only done with CockroachDB.
# Additional Changes
- gci run fixed some unrelated imports
- access to `command.Commands` for the setup job, so we can reuse the
sync logic.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Some OAuth2 and OIDC providers require the use of PKCE for all their
clients. While ZITADEL already recommended the same for its clients, it
did not yet support the option on the IdP configuration.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- A new boolean `use_pkce` is added to the add/update generic OAuth/OIDC
endpoints.
- A new checkbox is added to the generic OAuth and OIDC provider
templates.
- The `rp.WithPKCE` option is added to the provider if the use of PKCE
has been set.
- The `rp.WithCodeChallenge` and `rp.WithCodeVerifier` options are added
to the OIDC/Auth BeginAuth and CodeExchange function.
- Store verifier or any other persistent argument in the intent or auth
request.
- Create corresponding session object before creating the intent, to be
able to store the information.
- (refactored session structs to use a constructor for unified creation
and better overview of actual usage)
Here's a screenshot showing the URI including the PKCE params:
