Tried adding a non-existent extension to extension-list in train-dev: went fine...maybe this has been a documentation problem for years?

CPU spike is a bunch of PHP processes running. PHP processes are running due to traffic, which spiked.
- Announcement banner for WikiFarms on Patchdemo.
- Send email about this addition too.
Adding an event on one wiki that is part of a wiki farm in Patch Demo, now shows up on the other wiki on "all events" where you can sign up!

(context: IRC discussion about possible releng ownership)
Hrm, thinking about this today, I realize the piece with the low-level metrics is running outside the daemon. So either way we'd need to get metrics from the batch jobs (e.g., scap sync-world) to some daemon. The PushGateway is probably the right place for this.
Is there another reason that we have the local lore that any extension or skin must be in all deployed branches before being added to wmf-config/extension-list?
Hrm. Well, SpiderPig does have a web daemon. That daemon doesn't persist any of the metric timings we used to track (as far as I'm aware). @dancy might be able to say something smarter than that about it :)
I was reminded of this task by T411474: Grafana "MW deploy" "Train deployments" annotations broken on some dashboards!

Do you know offhand if this require setting up a fluxx/WDQS within patch demo? Or are there test/dummy instances of those services already?
Looks like it hasn't happened since this instance. If we see this happen regularly, we should dig deeper. For now, I think we'll call this a fluke (i.e., a button was clicked at the same time as a task ran, maybe).

The busiest things on these nodes are php-fpm, so the wikis themselves.

Proposed new verification option: ssh signatures
Catalyst folks don't have time to pick this up this week. We'll leave it in backlog and come back to this in our next planning (unless someone beats us to it and we can review).
This is a nice to have change, not critical.
Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!
Merged in T408830: Link to each wiki within a wikifarm from that wiki's main page since that was handled as part of this task.
Status:
- ci-charts changes ready for review, can merge ahead of UI changes independently
- UI changes mostly in MVP-shape, still needed: copy.php updates to support wikifarms
- Everything aside from upcoming copy.php changes already reviewed.
Switchover will require maintenance window with downtime, @jnuche will announce some details on the patchdemo mailing list.
I am committed to merging this!
Love seeing a diff like this in a runbook: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Catalyst/Scaling&diff=prev&oldid=2361346
Might be as simple as adding it to the ./repository-lists/wikimedia.yaml file

Merged and deployed!
Noting here that Catalyst folks created this CI job, but are not planning to take action on this task since we're unsure how that CI variable controls browser version. @Peter are you planning on looking at this?
When you add a patch, the repo for that patch is not ticked, but if you click "Create" then that repo is checked out.
