### What?
Adds an option to open the current document in a new tab when opened in
a drawer.
### Why?
There is currently no direct way to open a document when opened in a
drawer. However, sometimes editors want to edit one or multiple
documents from relationships independently of the current edit view and
need an easy option to open these separately.
### How?
Converts the document id to a link if in drawer context.

### What
This PR introduces a new `beforeDocumentControls` slot to the edit view
of both collections and globals.
It allows injecting one or more custom components next to the document
control buttons (e.g., Save, Publish, Save Draft) in the admin UI —
useful for adding context, additional buttons, or custom UI elements.
#### Usage
##### For collections:
```
admin: {
components: {
edit: {
beforeDocumentControls: ['/path/to/CustomComponent'],
},
},
},
```
##### For globals:
```
admin: {
components: {
elements: {
beforeDocumentControls: ['/path/to/CustomComponent'],
},
},
},
```
This fixes an issue where fields with the name `file` was being
serialized as a top-level field in multipart form data even when the
collection was not upload-enabled. This caused the value of `file` (when
used as a regular field like a text, array, etc.) to be stripped from
the `_payload`.
- Updated `createFormData` to only delete `data.file` and serialize it
at the top level if `docConfig.upload` is defined.
- This prevents unintended loss of `file` field values for non-upload
collections.
The `file` field now remains safely nested in `_payload` unless it's
part of an upload-enabled collection.
Implements a form state task queue. This will prevent onChange handlers
within the form component from processing unnecessarily often, sometimes
long after the user has stopped making changes. This leads to a
potentially huge number of network requests if those changes were made
slower than the debounce rate. This is especially noticeable on slow
networks.
Does so through a new `useQueue` hook. This hook maintains a stack of
events that need processing but only processes the final event to
arrive. Every time a new event is pushed to the stack, the currently
running process is aborted (if any), and that event becomes the next in
the queue. This results in a shocking reduction in the time it takes
between final change to form state and the final network response, from
~1.5 minutes to ~3 seconds (depending on the scenario, see below).
This likely fixes a number of existing open issues. I will link those
issues here once they are identified and verifiably fixed.
Before:
I'm typing slowly here to ensure my changes aren't debounce by the form.
There are a total of 60 characters typed, triggering 58 network requests
and taking around 1.5 minutes to complete after the final change was
made.

After:
Here there are a total of 69 characters typed, triggering 11 network
requests and taking only about 3 seconds to complete after the final
change was made.

When visiting a collection's list view, the nav item corresponding to
that collection correctly appears in an active state, but is still
rendered as an anchor tag. This makes it possible to reload the current
page by simply clicking the link, which is a problem because this
performs an unnecessary server roundtrip. This is especially apparent
when search params exist in the current URL, as the href on the link
does not.
Unrelated: also cleans up leftover code that was missed in this PR:
#11155
Removes all unnecessary `page.waitForURL` methods within e2e tests.
These are unneeded when following a `page.goto` call because the
subsequent page load is already being awaited.
It is only a requirement when:
- Clicking a link and expecting navigation
- Expecting a redirect after a route change
- Waiting for a change in search params
When reusing the SelectInput component from the UI package, if you set
value to `''` it will continue to display the previously selected value
instead of clearing out the field as expected.
The ReactSelect component doesn't behave in this way and instead will
clear out the field.
This fix addresses this difference by resetting `valueToRender` inside
the SelectInput to null.
### What?
Adds new feature to change the default behavior of the Publish button.
When localization is enabled, you can now choose whether to publish all
locales (default) or publish the active locale only.

### Why?
Since implementing the ability to publish a specific locale, users have
reported that having this option as the default button would be
preferred in some cases.
### How?
Add `defaultLocalePublishOption` to your localization config and set it
to 'active':
```ts
localization: {
defaultLocalePublishOption: 'active',
// the rest of your localization config
},
```

Field validations currently run very often, such as within form state on
type. This can lead to serious performance implications within the admin
panel if those validation functions are async, especially if they
perform expensive database queries. One glaring example of this is how
all relationship and upload fields perform a database lookup in order to
evaluate that the given value(s) satisfy the defined filter options. If
the field is polymorphic, this can happen multiple times over, one for
each collection. Similarly, custom validation functions might also
perform expensive tasks, something that Payload has no control over.
The fix here is two-fold. First, we now provide a new `event` arg to all
`validate` functions that allow you to opt-in to performing expensive
operations _only when documents are submitted_, and fallback to
significantly more performant validations as form state is generated.
This new pattern will be the new default for relationship and upload
fields, however, any custom validation functions will need to be
implemented in this way in order to take advantage of it. Here's what
that might look like:
```
[
// ...
{
name: 'text'
type: 'text',
validate: async (value, { event }) => {
if (event === 'onChange') {
// Do something highly performant here
return true
}
// Do something more expensive here
return true
}
}
]
```
The second part of this is to only run validations _after the form as
been submitted_, and then every change event thereafter. This work is
being done in #10580.
- Fixes collection and tab descriptions not having a bottom padding:
- Deprecates `description` on tabs config in favour of
`admin.description` but supports both
- Adds test to make sure `admin.description` renders with static string
and function too for tabs
Improves the admin e2e test splitting by grouping them by type with
semantic names as opposed to numerically. This will provide much needed
clarity to exactly _where_ new admin tests should be written and help to
quickly distinguish the areas of failure within the CI overview.
