The `updateSubscriptionItemPrice()` method in our Stripe library used by the importer when moving a subscription over to a Ghost product/price was setting `proration_behavior: 'always_invoice'`. This resulted in invoices being created when changing the subscription (even though no prices were changing as far as the customer is concerned) and in some cases where a customer previously had a one-off discount the customer was incorrectly charged the proration difference because the discount was no longer applied to the new invoice.
- updated `updateSubscriptionItemPrice()` to accept an `options` param allowing the `proration_behavior` property passed to the Stripe API to be overridden on a per-call basis
- updated the `forceStripeSubscriptionToProduct()` method used by the importer to pass an options object with `prorationBehavior: 'none'` when updating the subscription item price so that no invoice and no unexpected charges occur when importing

- For existing customers to be able to upgrade their account with automatic tax enabled, we need to pass in `customer_update[address]:auto` as per Stripe documentation.
- Automatic tax calculation in Checkout requires a valid address on the Customer. Add a valid address to the Customer or set either 'customer_update[address]' to 'auto' or 'customer_update[shipping]' to 'auto' to save the address entered in Checkout to the Customer.
- We update the existing customer details by passing in address `auto` when they upgrade their accounts.
- Stripe captures the billing address information by default when new accounts are created and then that is used to calculate the tax rate.

- added request queueing middleware (express-queue) to handle high
request volume
- added new config option `optimization.requestQueue`
- added new config option `optimization.requestConcurrency`
- added logging of request queue depth - `req.queueDepth`
We've done a fair amount of investigation around improving Ghost's
resiliency to high request volume. While we believe this to be partly
due to database connection contention, it also seems Ghost gets
overwhelmed by the requests themselves. Implementing a simple queueing
system allows us a simple lever to change the volume of requests Ghost
is actually ingesting at any given time and gives us options besides
simply increasing database connection pool size.

- this version is written in TS, but was published a few months ago and
needs to be bumped here
- also updates a previous deep include into the library, which was
unnecessary anyway

- Refactored Members API RouterController.createCheckoutSession: Split the method into smaller parts so we can reuse individual parts for the upcoming donation checkout session.

- also uses `.current_period_end` instead of `.created_at` to retrieve
the most recent subscription, when multiple customer with the same email
address are found. Reason: `created_at` date is reset when migrating
subscriptions between Stripe accounts

- when importing members via CSV, it's now possible to add the value "auto" for the "stripe_customer_id" field. When this option is passed, the importer will search for a Stripe customer based on the email address provided
- if there are multiple Stripe customers with the same email address, the customer with the most recent subscription is returned

We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default.
This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results:
- Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see aa58b354a4
- Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused
- Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](c1a468744b) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505).
- A typo see eaac9c293a
Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.
no issue
- This is preparation work to be able to listen to events whenever Stripe gets enabled in live mode or disabled again.
- This creates two new event types, which are being dispatched with `DomainEvents` from the Stripe service on the `connect()` and - vice versa - the `disconnect()` methods.

- some of our older packages used a pattern for linting which missed using test config for linting tests
- we need this to be consistent so that we can add more eslint rules for testing
- two packages also didn't use the lib pattern, which made the lint pattern error - so this was fixed as well
As discussed with the product team we want to enforce kebab-case file names for
all files, with the exception of files which export a single class, in which
case they should be PascalCase and reflect the class which they export.
This will help find classes faster, and should push better naming for them too.
Some files and packages have been excluded from this linting, specifically when
a library or framework depends on the naming of a file for the functionality
e.g. Ember, knex-migrator, adapter-manager
- we previously used `@stdlib/utils` instead of the child package
`@stdlib/copy`, which is a lot smaller and contains our only use of
the parent
- this saves 140+MB of dependencies
- we keep ending up with multiple versions of the depedency in our tree,
and it's causing problems when comparing instances
- the workaround I'm implementing for now is to bump the package
everywhere and set a resolution so we only have 1 shared instance
- hopefully we can come up with a better method down the line
The automatic_tax option is required to enable tax collection for
Stripe Checkout sessions. We've used getters here rather than an
explicit function, might wanna change that in future.
- there's a weird situation when we have mixed versions of the
dependency because different libraries try to compare instances
- this brings the usage up to 1.2.21 so we can fix the build for now
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/501
- this reverts commit 48dda23554
- also includes a resolution for `@elastic/elasticsearch` so we don't
run a version that is potentially problematic - see referenced issue
for context
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/16057
Briefly, Ghost created two Customer objects via the Stripe API when an
existing subscriber would upgrade to a paid subscription, one in an API
call to create the Customer and then a second as a side effect of an API
call to create a Checkout session for the user. The fix is passing the
reference to the Customer object to the API call to create the Checkout
session; Stripe will no longer redundantly create a Customer object in
this case.
This largely impacts the owner's experience of the Stripe Dashboard; it
will correct their new Customer count (going forward) and make searches
for users by name or email address return one responsive object which
has the actual subscription in it versus returning two and forcing them
to look in each to e.g. refund a transaction or similar.
- this was all getting terribly behind so I've done several things:
- majority of `@tryghost/*` except Lexical packages
- gscan + knex-migrator to remove old `@tryghost/errors` usage
- bumped lockfile
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/2262
Makes sure we only loop active Stripe prices. If we find an inactive
price, we also update it in our database now after this change.
