Store client hint mapping rows for user account creation events
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

We currently send client hint header data when a POST request is made to create an account. We need to modify CheckUser to record these headers as client hint mapping rows.

Note that while working on this, we might decide that it's easier to use the JavaScript API for client hints.

Acceptance criteria:

When a user creates an account, CheckUser creates rows in cu_useragent_clienthints_map
