### What?
Adds a way to prevent creating new documents from the admin UI in a join
field.
### Why?
There are two reasons:
1. You want to disable this any time as a feature of your admin user
experience
2. When creating a new document it is not yet possible to create the
relationship, preventing create is necessary for the workflow to make
sense.
### How?
join field has a new admin property called `allowCreate`, can be set to
false. By default the UI will never allow create when the current
document being edited does not yet have an `id`.
Fixes #
#8892
### Before
Even though the document doesn't have an ID yet, the create buttons are
shown which doesn't actually work.

### After
Initial document creation:

Prevented using `allowCreate: false`

### What?
Fixes the issue with passing a string `limit` value from user
preferences to the mongodb `.aggregate` function.
To reproduce:
- click the list view for a collection that has a join field
- set "show per page" to 100
- reload, see this:
<img width="1001" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/86c644d1-d183-48e6-bf34-0ccac23cb114">
### Why?
When using `.aggregate`, MongoDB doesn't cast a value for the `$limit`
stage to a number automatically as it's not handled by Mongoose. It's
also more convenient to store this value as a number.
### How?
Stores `limit` inside of preferences in number.
`Issue`:
Previously, documents that were locked but expired would still show in
the list view / render the `DocumentLocked` modal upon other users
entering the document.
The expected outcome should be having expired locked documents seen as
unlocked to other users.
I.e:
- Removing the lock icon from expired locks in the list view.
- Prevent the `DocumentLocked` modal from appearing for other users -
requiring a take over.
`Fix`:
- Only query for locked documents that are not expired, aka their
`updatedAt` dates are greater than the the current time minus the lock
duration.
- Performs a `deleteMany` on expired documents when any user edits any
other document in the same collection.
Fixes#8778
`TODO`: Add tests
Previously, when opening e.g. a link drawer, clicking within the drawer,
and then closing it, the cursor / selection of the lexical editor will
reset to the beginning of the editor.
Now, we have dedicated logic to storing, preserving and restoring the
lexical selection when working with drawers.
This will work with all drawers. Links, uploads, relationships etc.

Fixes an annoying instance where on the /account page if you change your
theme then navigate away the Leaving without save popup is triggered
even though you don't need to submit a form or trigger a save in order
to change your admin theme.
See comments in code for proper explanation. In some cases, where 2
richtext `editor`s referencing the same `editor` are used, the admin
panel will hang. That's because the server will send their client props
that have the same object reference down to the client twice.
Next.js sometimes does not like this and, ever since one of the v15
canaries, started to hang
Fixes#8673
This PR restricts inputs with `type="file"` to only those mimetypes
specified in collection upload configs. This also works for the input in
`bulkUpload` and drag-and-drop capabilities by omitting dropped files if
they do not conform to the upload config mimetypes. This PR also assumes
that an upload config with an empty mimetype array should accept all
files since the negation of that statement makes an upload collection
redundant.
Filtering by `null` `number` field values or normal values with the
`exists` operator was not working in `postgres` & `sqlite`.
Was previously fixed for `mongodb`
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8416)
Now fixed for `postgres` & `sqlite` adapters as well.
In some instances, form states incorrectly setting valid to true even
when they should not be, just because no validate function is present.
This was apparent when using bulk upload drawers inside the multi-tenant
example which inserts a custom field for the TenantSelector on
documents.

This PR makes a more clear gap between `version_createdAt` /
`version_updatedAt` and `createdAt` / `updatedAt` columns / fields in
mongodb.
- `createdAt` - This should be a new value in a new version. Before this
change it was the same all the time. Should remain the same on autosave.
- The same for `updatedAt`, but it should be updated on every change
(including autosave)
- `version_createdAt` - Should remain equal to `createdAt` from the
parent collection / table
- `version_updatedAt` - On a latest version it makes sense this be the
same as `updatedAt` from the parent collection / table, as all the
`version_*` fields should be just synced with it
### Improvements
- Uses overlay modal for "logging out..." display on logout view
- If user manually logs out it takes them directly to the login page
after logout, if caused by inactivity then they will see the logout page
that explains that they were logged out due to inactivity
- Fixes issue with cookie refresh triggering even after the user logs
out
- Cleans up auth provider timeouts for refresh and force logout
- `setUser` now expects the result similar to the response from the
`/me` endpoint, which includes the token, exp, and user
### BREAKING CHANGE
If you are using the `setUser` function exposed from the `useAuth()`
provider, then you will need to make some adjustments.
`setUser` now expects the response data from auth enabled endpoints, ie
the `/me` route. This is so the cookie and expiration can be properly
set in sync when a new user is set on the provider.
```ts
// before
setUser({
id: 670524817048be0fa222fc01,
email: dev@payloadcms.com,
// ... other user properties
})
// new
setUser({
user: {
id: 670524817048be0fa222fc01,
email: dev@payloadcms.com,
// ... other user properties
},
exp: 1728398351,
token: "....eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVC...."
})
```

Cleans up the way we redirect and where it happens.
## Improvements
- When you verify, the admin panel will display a toast when it
redirects you to the login route. This is contextually helpful as to
what is happening.
- Removes dead code path, as we always set the _verifiedToken to null
after it is used.
## `handleAdminPage` renamed to `getRouteInfo`
This function no longer handles routing. It kicks that responsibility
back up to the initPage function.
## `isAdminAuthRoute` renamed to `isPublicAdminRoute`
This was inversely named as it determines if a given route is public.
Also simplifies deterministic logic here.
## `redirectUnauthenticatedUser` argument
This is no longer used or needed. We can determine these things by using
the `isPublicAdminRoute` function.
## View Style fixes
- Reset Password
- Forgot Password
- Unauthorized
All payload css is now encapsulated inside CSS layers under `@layer
payload-default`
Any custom css will now have the highest possible specificity.
We have also provided a new layer `@layer payload` if you want to use
layers and ensure that your styles are applied after payload.
To override existing styles in a way that the existing rules of
specificity would be respected you can use the default layer like so
```css
@layer payload-default {
// my styles within the payload specificity
}
```

UI fields are now excluded by default from the bulk edit view fields
options.
If you need to have the UI field there, you can provide:
```ts
admin: {
disableBulkEdit: false
}
```
