## Summary
This PR is part of the Kibana Sustainable Architecture effort.
The goal is to start categorising Kibana packages into _generic
platform_ (`group: "platform"`) vs _solution-specific_.
```
group?: 'search' | 'security' | 'observability' | 'platform'
visibility?: 'private' | 'shared'
```
Uncategorised modules are considered to be `group: 'common', visibility:
'shared'` by default.
We want to prevent code from solution A to depend on code from solution
B.
Thus, the rules are pretty simple:
* Modules can only depend on:
* Modules in the same group
* OR modules with 'shared' visibility
* Modules in `'observability', 'security', 'search'` groups are
mandatorily `visibility: "private"`.
Long term, the goal is to re-organise packages into dedicated folders,
e.g.:
```
x-pack/platform/plugins/private
x-pack/observability/packages
```
For this first wave, we have categorised packages that seem
"straightforward":
* Any packages that have:
* at least one dependant module
* all dependants belong to the same group
* Categorise all Core packages:
* `@kbn/core-...-internal` => _platform/private_
* everything else => _platform/shared_
* Categorise as _platform/shared_ those packages that:
* Have at least one dependant in the _platform_ group.
* Don't have any `devOnly: true` dependants.
### What we ask from you, as CODEOWNERS of the _package manifests_, is
that you confirm that the categorisation is correct:
* `group: "platform", visibility: "private"` if it's a package that
should only be used from platform code, not from any solution code. It
will be loaded systematically in all serverless flavors, but solution
plugins and packages won't be able to `import` from it.
* `group: "platform", visibility: "shared"` if it's a package that can
be consumed by both platform and solutions code. It will be loaded
systematically in all serverless flavors, and anybody can import / use
code from it.
* `group: "observability" | "security" | "search", visibility:
"private"` if it's a package that is intented to be used exclusively
from a given solution. It won't be accessible nor loaded from other
solutions nor platform code.

## Summary
At the moment, our package generator creates all packages with the type
`shared-common`. This means that we cannot enforce boundaries between
server-side-only code and the browser, and vice-versa.
- [x] I started fixing `packages/core/*`
- [x] It took me to fixing `src/core/` type to be identified by the
`plugin` pattern (`public` and `server` directories) vs. a package
(either common, or single-scoped)
- [x] Unsurprisingly, this extended to packages importing core packages
hitting the boundaries eslint rules. And other packages importing the
latter.
- [x] Also a bunch of `common` logic that shouldn't be so _common_ 🙃
### For maintainers
- [x] This was checked for breaking API changes and was [labeled
appropriately](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/contributing.html#kibana-release-notes-process)

## Summary
Fix https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/178932
- Introduce the new `userProfile` core service, both on the browser and
server-side.
- Have the security plugin register its API to Core for re-exposition

## Summary
First part of https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/174578
- Introduce the new `security` core service, both on the browser and
server-side.
- In this first stage, this service only has a single API:
`authc.getCurrentUser`
- Have the security plugin register its API to Core for ex-exposition

## Dearest Reviewers 👋
I've been working on this branch with @mistic and @tylersmalley and
we're really confident in these changes. Additionally, this changes code
in nearly every package in the repo so we don't plan to wait for reviews
to get in before merging this. If you'd like to have a concern
addressed, please feel free to leave a review, but assuming that nobody
raises a blocker in the next 24 hours we plan to merge this EOD pacific
tomorrow, 12/22.
We'll be paying close attention to any issues this causes after merging
and work on getting those fixed ASAP. 🚀
---
The operations team is not confident that we'll have the time to achieve
what we originally set out to accomplish by moving to Bazel with the
time and resources we have available. We have also bought ourselves some
headroom with improvements to babel-register, optimizer caching, and
typescript project structure.
In order to make sure we deliver packages as quickly as possible (many
teams really want them), with a usable and familiar developer
experience, this PR removes Bazel for building packages in favor of
using the same JIT transpilation we use for plugins.
Additionally, packages now use `kbn_references` (again, just copying the
dx from plugins to packages).
Because of the complex relationships between packages/plugins and in
order to prepare ourselves for automatic dependency detection tools we
plan to use in the future, this PR also introduces a "TS Project Linter"
which will validate that every tsconfig.json file meets a few
requirements:
1. the chain of base config files extended by each config includes
`tsconfig.base.json` and not `tsconfig.json`
1. the `include` config is used, and not `files`
2. the `exclude` config includes `target/**/*`
3. the `outDir` compiler option is specified as `target/types`
1. none of these compiler options are specified: `declaration`,
`declarationMap`, `emitDeclarationOnly`, `skipLibCheck`, `target`,
`paths`
4. all references to other packages/plugins use their pkg id, ie:
```js
// valid
{
"kbn_references": ["@kbn/core"]
}
// not valid
{
"kbn_references": [{ "path": "../../../src/core/tsconfig.json" }]
}
```
5. only packages/plugins which are imported somewhere in the ts code are
listed in `kbn_references`
This linter is not only validating all of the tsconfig.json files, but
it also will fix these config files to deal with just about any
violation that can be produced. Just run `node scripts/ts_project_linter
--fix` locally to apply these fixes, or let CI take care of
automatically fixing things and pushing the changes to your PR.
> **Example:** [`64e93e5`
(#146212)](64e93e5806)
When I merged main into my PR it included a change which removed the
`@kbn/core-injected-metadata-browser` package. After resolving the
conflicts I missed a few tsconfig files which included references to the
now removed package. The TS Project Linter identified that these
references were removed from the code and pushed a change to the PR to
remove them from the tsconfig.json files.
## No bazel? Does that mean no packages??
Nope! We're still doing packages but we're pretty sure now that we won't
be using Bazel to accomplish the 'distributed caching' and 'change-based
tasks' portions of the packages project.
This PR actually makes packages much easier to work with and will be
followed up with the bundling benefits described by the original
packages RFC. Then we'll work on documentation and advocacy for using
packages for any and all new code.
We're pretty confident that implementing distributed caching and
change-based tasks will be necessary in the future, but because of
recent improvements in the repo we think we can live without them for
**at least** a year.
## Wait, there are still BUILD.bazel files in the repo
Yes, there are still three webpack bundles which are built by Bazel: the
`@kbn/ui-shared-deps-npm` DLL, `@kbn/ui-shared-deps-src` externals, and
the `@kbn/monaco` workers. These three webpack bundles are still created
during bootstrap and remotely cached using bazel. The next phase of this
project is to figure out how to get the package bundling features
described in the RFC with the current optimizer, and we expect these
bundles to go away then. Until then any package that is used in those
three bundles still needs to have a BUILD.bazel file so that they can be
referenced by the remaining webpack builds.
