Revert https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18849
Go back to our custom `LogContextScopeManager` after trying
OpenTracing's `ContextVarsScopeManager`.
Fix https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19004
### Why revert?
For reference, with the normal reactor, `ContextVarsScopeManager` worked
just as good as our custom `LogContextScopeManager` as far as I can tell
(and even better in some cases). But since Twisted appears to not fully
support `ContextVar`'s, it doesn't work as expected in all cases.
Compounding things, `ContextVarsScopeManager` was causing errors with
the experimental `SYNAPSE_ASYNC_IO_REACTOR` option.
Since we're not getting the full benefit that we originally desired, we
might as well revert and figure out alternatives for extending the
logcontext lifetimes to support the use case we were trying to unlock
(c.f. https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18804).
See
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19004#issuecomment-3358052171
for more info.
### Does this require backporting and patch releases?
No. Since `ContextVarsScopeManager` operates just as good with the
normal reactor and was only causing actual errors with the experimental
`SYNAPSE_ASYNC_IO_REACTOR` option, I don't think this requires us to
backport and make patch releases at all.
### Maintain cross-links between main trace and background process work
In order to maintain the functionality introduced in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18932 (cross-links between the background process trace and currently active trace), we also needed a small change.
Previously, when we were using `ContextVarsScopeManager`, it tracked the tracing scope across the logcontext changes without issue. Now that we're using our own custom `LogContextScopeManager` again, we need to capture the active span from the logcontext before we reset to the sentinel context because of the `PreserveLoggingContext()` below.
Added some tests to ensure we maintain the `run_as_background` tracing behavior regardless of the tracing scope manager we use.
Spawning from adding some logcontext debug logs in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18966 and since we're not
logging at the `set_current_context(...)` level (see reasoning there),
this removes some usage of `set_current_context(...)`.
Specifically, `MockClock.call_later(...)` doesn't handle logcontexts
correctly. It uses the calling logcontext as the callback context
(wrong, as the logcontext could finish before the callback finishes) and
it didn't reset back to the sentinel context before handing back to the
reactor. It was like this since it was [introduced 10+ years
ago](38da9884e7).
Instead of fixing the implementation which would just be a copy of our
normal `Clock`, we can just remove `MockClock`
### Background
As part of Element's plan to support a light form of vhosting (virtual
host) (multiple instances of Synapse in the same Python process), we're
currently diving into the details and implications of running multiple
instances of Synapse in the same Python process.
"Per-tenant logging" tracked internally by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse-small-hosts/issues/48
### Prior art
Previously, we exposed `server_name` by providing a static logging
`MetadataFilter` that injected the values:
205d9e4fc4/synapse/config/logger.py (L216)
While this can work fine for the normal case of one Synapse instance per
Python process, this configures things globally and isn't compatible
when we try to start multiple Synapse instances because each subsequent
tenant will overwrite the previous tenant.
### What does this PR do?
We remove the `MetadataFilter` and replace it by tracking the
`server_name` in the `LoggingContext` and expose it with our existing
[`LoggingContextFilter`](205d9e4fc4/synapse/logging/context.py (L584-L622))
that we already use to expose information about the `request`.
This means that the `server_name` value follows wherever we log as
expected even when we have multiple Synapse instances running in the
same process.
### A note on logcontext
Anywhere, Synapse mistakenly uses the `sentinel` logcontext to log
something, we won't know which server sent the log. We've been fixing up
`sentinel` logcontext usage as tracked by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18905
Any further `sentinel` logcontext usage we find in the future can be
fixed piecemeal as normal.
d2a966f922/docs/log_contexts.md (L71-L81)
### Testing strategy
1. Adjust your logging config to include `%(server_name)s` in the format
```yaml
formatters:
precise:
format: '%(asctime)s - %(server_name)s - %(name)s - %(lineno)d -
%(levelname)s - %(request)s - %(message)s'
```
1. Start Synapse: `poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path
homeserver.yaml`
1. Make some requests (`curl
http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/versions`, etc)
1. Open the homeserver logs and notice the `server_name` in the logs as
expected. `unknown_server_from_sentinel_context` is expected for the
`sentinel` logcontext (things outside of Synapse).
Related to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18905
These fixes were split off from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18828 where @devonh was
seeing some test failures because `timeout_deferred(...)` is being
updated to use `Clock` utilities instead of raw `reactor` methods. This
test was failing in that branch/PR until we made this new version that
handles the logcontexts properly.
While the previous version of this test does pass on `develop`, it was
using what appears completely wrong assertions, assumptions, and bad
patterns to make it happen (see diff comments below)

> It seems like this actually has to do with completed vs incomplete
deferreds...
>
> To explain how things previously worked *without* the early-return
shortcut:
>
> With the normal case of **incomplete awaitable**, we store the
`calling_context` and the `f` function is called and runs until it
yields to the reactor. Because `f` follows the logcontext rules, it sets
the `sentinel` logcontext. Then in `run_in_background(...)`, we restore
the `calling_context`, store the current `ctx` (which is `sentinel`) and
return. When the deferred completes, we restore `ctx` (which is
`sentinel`) before yielding to the reactor again (all good
✅)
>
> With the other case where we see a **completed awaitable**, we store
the `calling_context` and the `f` function is called and runs to
completion (no logcontext change). *This is where the shortcut would
kick in but I'm going to continue explaining as if we commented out the
shortcut.* -- Then in `run_in_background(...)`, we restore the
`calling_context`, store the current `ctx` (which is same as the
`calling_context`). Because the deferred is already completed, our extra
callback is called immediately and we restore `ctx` (which is same as
the `calling_context`). Since we never yield to the reactor, the
`calling_context` is perfect as that's what we want again (all good
✅)
>
> ---
>
> But this also means that our early-return shortcut is no longer just
an optimization and is *necessary* to act correctly in the **completed
awaitable** case as we want to return with the `calling_context` and not
reset to the `sentinel` context. I've updated the comment in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18964 to explain the
necessity as it's currently just described as an optimization.
>
> But because we made the same change to
`run_coroutine_in_background(...)` which didn't have the same
early-return shortcut, we regressed the correct behavior ❌ . This is

```
</details>
From the logs there, we can see things relating to
`typing.get_new_events` and
`/_matrix/client/unstable/org.matrix.simplified_msc3575/sync` which led
me to trying out Sliding Sync with the typing extension enabled and
allowed me to reproduce the problem locally. Sliding Sync is a unique
scenario as it's the only place we use `gather_optional_coroutines(...)`
-> `run_coroutine_in_background(...)` (introduced in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17884) to exhibit this
behavior.
### Testing strategy
1. Configure Synapse to enable
[MSC4186](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4186):
Simplified Sliding Sync which is actually under
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575)
```yaml
experimental_features:
msc3575_enabled: true
```
1. Start synapse: `poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path
homeserver.yaml`
1. Make a Sliding Sync request with one of the extensions enabled
```http
POST
http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/unstable/org.matrix.simplified_msc3575/sync
{
"lists": {},
"room_subscriptions": {
"!FlgJYGQKAIvAscfBhq:my.synapse.linux.server": {
"required_state": [],
"timeline_limit": 1
}
},
"extensions": {
"typing": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
1. Open your homeserver logs and notice warnings about `Starting ...
from sentinel context: metrics will be lost`
Part of https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18905
Lints for ensuring we use `Clock.call_later` instead of
`reactor.callLater`, etc are coming in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18944
### Testing strategy
1. Configure Synapse to log at the `DEBUG` level
1. Start Synapse: `poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path
homeserver.yaml`
1. Wait 10 seconds for the [database profiling
loop](9cc4001778/synapse/storage/database.py (L711))
to execute
1. Notice the logcontext being used for the `Total database time` log
line
Before (`sentinel`):
```
2025-09-10 16:36:58,651 - synapse.storage.TIME - 707 - DEBUG - sentinel - Total database time: 0.646% {room_forgetter_stream_pos(2): 0.131%, reap_monthly_active_users(1): 0.083%, get_device_change_last_converted_pos(1): 0.078%}
```
After (`looping_call`):
```
2025-09-10 16:36:58,651 - synapse.storage.TIME - 707 - DEBUG - looping_call - Total database time: 0.646% {room_forgetter_stream_pos(2): 0.131%, reap_monthly_active_users(1): 0.083%, get_device_change_last_converted_pos(1): 0.078%}
```
Introduce `Clock.call_when_running(...)` to wrap startup code in a
logcontext, ensuring we can identify which server generated the logs.
Background:
> Ideally, nothing from the Synapse homeserver would be logged against the `sentinel`
> logcontext as we want to know which server the logs came from. In practice, this is not
> always the case yet especially outside of request handling.
>
> Global things outside of Synapse (e.g. Twisted reactor code) should run in the
> `sentinel` logcontext. It's only when it calls into application code that a logcontext
> gets activated. This means the reactor should be started in the `sentinel` logcontext,
> and any time an awaitable yields control back to the reactor, it should reset the
> logcontext to be the `sentinel` logcontext. This is important to avoid leaking the
> current logcontext to the reactor (which would then get picked up and associated with
> the next thing the reactor does).

`reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`

[This change](6ce2f3e59d)
was originally used to fix CPU time going backwards when we `daemonize`.
While, we don't seem to run into this problem on `develop`, I still
think this is a good change to make. We don't need background tasks
running on a process that will soon be forcefully exited and where the
reactor isn't even running yet. We now kick off the background tasks
(`run_as_background_process`) after we have forked the process and
started the reactor.
Also as simple note, we don't need background tasks running in both halves of a fork.
Introduced in: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17167
The endpoint was part of experiments for MSC3575 but does not feature in
that MSC.

Switch to OpenTracing's `ContextVarsScopeManager` instead of our own
custom `LogContextScopeManager`.
This is now possible because the linked Twisted issue from the comment
in our custom `LogContextScopeManager` is resolved:
https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/10301
This PR is spawning from exploring different possibilities to solve the
`scope` loss problem I was encountering in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18804#discussion_r2268254424.
This appears to solve the problem and I've added the additional test

With more debugging (thanks @devonh for also stepping in as maintainer),
we were finding that the CI was consistently failing at
`test_exposed_to_prometheus` which was a bit of smoke because of all of
the [metrics
changes](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18592) that were
merged recently.
Locally, although I wasn't able to reproduce the bizarre errors, I could
easily see increased memory usage (~20GB vs ~2GB) and the
`test_exposed_to_prometheus` test taking a while to complete when
running a full test run (`SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=INFO poetry run trial
tests`).
<img width="1485" height="78" alt="Lots of memory usage"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/811e2a96-75e5-4a3c-966c-00dc0512cea9"
/>
After updating `test_exposed_to_prometheus` to dump the
`latest_metrics_response = generate_latest(REGISTRY)`, I could see that
it's a massive 3.2GB response. Inspecting the contents, we can see 4.1M
(4,137,123) entries for just
`synapse_background_update_status{server_name="test"} 3.0` which is a
`LaterGauge`. I don't think we have 4.1M test cases so it's also unclear
why we end up with so many samples but it does make sense that we do see
a lot of duplicates because each `HomeserverTestCase` will create a
homeserver for each test case that will `LaterGauge.register_hook(...)`
(part of the https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18751 changes).
`tests/storage/databases/main/test_metrics.py`
```python
latest_metrics_response = generate_latest(REGISTRY)
with open("/tmp/synapse-test-metrics", "wb") as f:
f.write(latest_metrics_response)
```
After reverting the https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18751
changes, running the full test suite locally doesn't result in memory
spikes and seems to run normally.

Fix `LaterGauge` metrics to collect from all servers
Follow-up to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18714
Previously, our `LaterGauge` metrics did include the `server_name` label
as expected but we were only seeing the last server being reported in
some cases. Any `LaterGauge` that we were creating multiple times was
only reporting the last instance.
This PR updates all `LaterGauge` to be created once and then we use
`LaterGauge.register_hook(...)` to add in the metric callback as before.
This works now because we store a list of callbacks instead of just one.
I noticed this problem thanks to some [tests in the Synapse Pro for
Small Hosts](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse-small-hosts/pull/173)
repo that sanity check all metrics to ensure that we can see each metric
includes data from multiple servers.
### Testing strategy
1. This is only noticeable when you run multiple Synapse instances in
the same process.

file](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#changelog).
The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
- Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
- End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
- Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the
entry.

There are a few improvements over the experimental support:
- authorisation of Synapse <-> MAS requests is simplified, with a single
shared secret, removing the need for provisioning a client on the MAS
side
- the tests actually spawn a real server, allowing us to test the rust
introspection layer
- we now check that the device advertised in introspection actually
exist, making it so that when a user logs out, the tokens are
immediately invalidated, even if the cache doesn't expire
- it doesn't rely on discovery anymore, rather on a static endpoint
base. This means users don't have to override the introspection endpoint
to avoid internet roundtrips
- it doesn't depend on `authlib` anymore, as we simplified a lot the
calls done from Synapse to MAS
We still have to update the MAS documentation about the Synapse setup,
but that can be done later.

We do this by a) not pulling out all membership events, and b) batch
inserting bans.
One blocking concern is that this bypasses the `update_membership`
function, which otherwise all other membership events go via. In this
case it's fine (having audited what it is doing), but I'm hesitant to
set the precedent of bypassing it, given it has a lot of logic in there.

Follow-up to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/18604
Previously, our cache metrics did include the `server_name` label as
expected but we were only seeing the last server being reported. This
was caused because we would
`CACHE_METRIC_REGISTRY.register_hook(metric_name, metric.collect)` where
the `metric_name` only took into account the cache name so it would be
overwritten every time we spawn a new server.
This PR updates the register logic to include the `server_name` so we
have a hook for every cache on every server as expected.
I noticed this problem thanks to some [tests in the Synapse Pro for
Small Hosts](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse-small-hosts/pull/173)
repo that sanity check all metrics to ensure that we can see each metric
includes data from multiple servers.
