fix(storage-s3): attempts to solve open socket issue

This change makes so that data that exists in MongoDB but isn't defined
in the Payload config won't be included to `payload.find` /
`payload.db.find` calls. Now we strip all the additional keys.

Consider you have a field named `secretField` that's also `hidden: true`
(or `read: () => false`) that contains some sensitive data. Then you
removed this field from the database and as for now with the MongoDB
adapter this field will be included to the Local API / REST API results
without any consideration, as Payload doesn't know about it anymore.

This also fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11542 if
you removed / renamed a relationship field from the schema, Payload
won't sanitize ObjectIDs back to strings anymore.

Ideally you should create a migration script that completely removes the
deleted field from the database with `$unset`, but people rarely do
this.

If you still need to keep those fields to the result, this PR allows you
to do this with the new `allowAdditionalKeys: true` flag.

 To make sure the issue is resolved as quickly as possible, please make sure that the reproduction is as **minimal** as possible. This means that you should **remove unnecessary code, files, and dependencies** that do not contribute to the issue. Ensure your reproduction does not depend on secrets, 3rd party registries, private dependencies, or any other data that cannot be made public. Avoid a reproduction including a whole monorepo (unless relevant to the issue). The easier it is to reproduce the issue, the quicker we can help.

This file contains every Custom Component in your config, keyed to their respective paths. When Payload needs to lookup a component, it uses this file to find the correct import.
 
 The Import Map is automatically regenerated at startup and whenever Hot Module Replacement (HMR) runs, or you can run `payload generate:importmap` to manually regenerate it.
 
+#### Overriding Import Map Location
+
+Using the `config.admin.importMap.importMapFile` property, you can override the location of the import map. This is useful if you want to place the import map in a different location, or if you want to use a custom file name.

+## Reserved Field names
+
+Payload reserves certain field names for internal use. Using any of the following names in your collections or globals will result in those fields being sanitized from the config, which can cause deployment errors. Ensure that any conflicting fields are renamed before migrating.
+
+### General Reserved Names
+
+- `file`
+- `_id` (MongoDB only)
+- `__v` (MongoDB only)
+
+**Important Note**: It is recommended to avoid using field names with an underscore (`_`) prefix unless explicitly required by a plugin. Payload uses this prefix for internal columns, which can lead to conflicts in certain SQL conditions. The following are examples of reserved internal columns (this list is not exhaustive and other internal fields may also apply):
+
+- `_order`
+- `_path`
+- `_uuid`
+- `_parent_id`
+- `_locale`
+
+### Auth-Related Reserved Names

+These are restricted if your collection uses `auth: true` and does not have `disableAuthStrategy: true`:
+- `salt`
+- `hash`
+- `apiKey` (when `auth.useAPIKey: true` is enabled)
+- `useAPIKey` (when `auth.useAPIKey: true` is enabled)
+- `resetPasswordToken`
+- `resetPasswordExpiration`
+- `password`
+- `email`
+- `username`
+
+### Upload-Related Reserved Names
+
+These apply if your collection has `upload: true` configured:
+
+- `filename`
+- `mimetype`
+- `filesize`
+- `width`
+- `height`
+- `focalX`
+- `focalY`
+- `url`
+- `thumbnailURL`
+
+If `imageSizes` is configured, the following are also reserved:

+- `sizes`

+If any of these names are found in your collection / global fields, update them before migrating to avoid unexpected issues.

 ## Method Override for GET Requests
 
 Payload supports a method override feature that allows you to send GET requests using the HTTP POST method. This can be particularly useful in scenarios when the query string in a regular GET request is too long.

 Lexical saves data in JSON - this is great for storage and flexibility and allows you to easily to convert it to other formats like JSX, HTML or Markdown.

+### Converting Internal Links
 
-In order to convert lexical blocks or inline blocks to JSX, you will have to pass the converter for your block to the RichText component. This converter is not included by default, as Payload doesn't know how to render your custom blocks.
+By default, Payload doesn't know how to convert **internal** links to JSX, as it doesn't know what the corresponding URL of the internal link is. You'll notice that you get a "found internal link, but internalDocToHref is not provided" error in the console when you try to render content with internal links.
+
+To fix this, you need to pass the `internalDocToHref` prop to `LinkJSXConverter`. This prop is a function that receives the link node and returns the URL of the document.

+
+### Converting Lexical Blocks
+
+To convert Lexical Blocks or Inline Blocks to JSX, pass the converter for your block to the `RichText` component. This converter is not included by default, as Payload doesn't know how to render your custom blocks.
+

+
+### Overriding Default JSX Converters
+
+You can override any of the default JSX converters by passing passing your custom converter, keyed to the node type, to the `converters` prop / the converters function.
+
+Example - overriding the upload node converter to use next/image:
+
+```tsx

 If you don't have a React-based frontend, or if you need to send the content to a third-party service, you can convert lexical to HTML. There are two ways to do this:
 
-1. **Outputting HTML from the Collection:** Create a new field in your collection to convert saved JSON content to HTML. Payload generates and outputs the HTML for use in your frontend.
-2. **Generating HTML on any server** Convert JSON to HTML on-demand on the server.
 
-In both cases, the conversion needs to happen on a server, as the HTML converter will automatically fetch data for nodes that require it (e.g. uploads and internal links). The editor comes with built-in HTML serializers, simplifying the process of converting JSON to HTML.
+1. **Generating HTML in your frontend** Convert JSON to HTML on-demand wherever you need it (Recommended).
+2. **Outputting HTML from the Collection:** Create a new field in your collection to convert saved JSON content to HTML. Payload generates and outputs the HTML for use in your frontend. This is not recommended, as this approach adds additional overhead to the Payload API and may not work with live preview.
+
+### Generating HTML in your frontend
+
+If you wish to convert JSON to HTML ad-hoc, use the `convertLexicalToHTML` function exported from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html`:
+
+```tsx
+'use client'
+
+import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
+import { convertLexicalToHTML } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
+
+import React from 'react'
+
+export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
+  const html = convertLexicalToHTML({ data })
+
+  return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
+}
+```
+
+### Generating HTML in your frontend with dynamic population
+
+The default `convertLexicalToHTML` function does not populate data for nodes like uploads or links - it expects you to pass in the fully populated data. If you want the converter to dynamically populate those nodes as they are encountered, you have to use the async version of the converter, imported from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html-async`, and pass in the `populate` function:
+
+```tsx
+'use client'
+
+import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
+
+import { getRestPopulateFn } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/client'
+import { convertLexicalToHTMLAsync } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html-async'
+import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
+
+export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
+  const [html, setHTML] = useState<null | string>(null)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    async function convert() {
+      const html = await convertLexicalToHTMLAsync({
+        data,
+        populate: getRestPopulateFn({
+          apiURL: `http://localhost:3000/api`,
+        }),
+      })
+      setHTML(html)
+    }
+
+    void convert()
+  }, [data])
+
+  return html && <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
+}
+```
+
+Do note that using the REST populate function will result in each node sending a separate request to the REST API, which may be slow for a large amount of nodes. On the server, you can use the payload populate function, which will be more efficient:
+
+```tsx
+import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
+
+import { getPayloadPopulateFn } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
+import { convertLexicalToHTMLAsync } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html-async'

+import React from 'react'

+import config from '../../config.js'

+  const payload = await getPayload({
+    config,
+  })
+
+  const html = await convertLexicalToHTMLAsync({
+    data,
+    populate: await getPayloadPopulateFn({
+      currentDepth: 0,
+      depth: 1,
+      payload,
+    }),
+  })
+
+  return html && <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />

-### Generating HTML anywhere on the server
-
-If you wish to convert JSON to HTML ad-hoc, use the `convertLexicalToHTML` function:
-
-```ts
-import { consolidateHTMLConverters, convertLexicalToHTML } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
-
-
-await convertLexicalToHTML({
-  converters: consolidateHTMLConverters({ editorConfig }),
-  data: editorData,
-  payload, // if you have Payload but no req available, pass it in here to enable server-only functionality (e.g. proper conversion of upload nodes)
-  req, // if you have req available, pass it in here to enable server-only functionality (e.g. proper conversion of upload nodes). No need to pass in Payload if req is passed in.
-})
-```
-This method employs `convertLexicalToHTML` from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical`, which converts the serialized editor state into HTML.
-
-Because every `Feature` is able to provide html converters, and because the `htmlFeature` can modify those or provide their own, we need to consolidate them with the default html Converters using the `consolidateHTMLConverters` function.
-

-import {
-  HTMLConverterFeature,

-### Creating your own HTML Converter
-
-HTML Converters are typed as `HTMLConverter`, which contains the node type it should handle, and a function that accepts the serialized node from the lexical editor, and outputs the HTML string. Here's the HTML Converter of the Upload node as an example:
-
-```ts
-import type { HTMLConverter } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
-
-const UploadHTMLConverter: HTMLConverter<SerializedUploadNode> = {
-  converter: async ({ node, req }) => {
-    const uploadDocument: {
-      value?: any
-      } = {}
-    if(req) {
-      await populate({
-        id,
-        collectionSlug: node.relationTo,
-        currentDepth: 0,
-        data: uploadDocument,
-        depth: 1,
-        draft: false,
-        key: 'value',
-        overrideAccess: false,
-        req,
-        showHiddenFields: false,
-      })
-    }
-
-    const url = (req?.payload?.config?.serverURL || '') + uploadDocument?.value?.url
-
-    if (!(uploadDocument?.value?.mimeType as string)?.startsWith('image')) {
-      // Only images can be serialized as HTML
-      return ``
-    }
-
-    return `<img src="${url}" alt="${uploadDocument?.value?.filename}" width="${uploadDocument?.value?.width}"  height="${uploadDocument?.value?.height}"/>`
-  },
-  nodeTypes: [UploadNode.getType()], // This is the type of the lexical node that this converter can handle. Instead of hardcoding 'upload' we can get the node type directly from the UploadNode, since it's static.
-}
-```
-
-As you can see, we have access to all the information saved in the node (for the Upload node, this is `value`and `relationTo`) and we can use that to generate the HTML.
-
-The `convertLexicalToHTML` is part of `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical` automatically handles traversing the editor state and calling the correct converter for each node.
-
-### Embedding the HTML Converter in your Feature
-
-You can embed your HTML Converter directly within your custom `ServerFeature`, allowing it to be handled automatically by the `consolidateHTMLConverters` function. Here is an example:
-
-```ts
-import { createNode } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
-import type { FeatureProviderProviderServer } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
-
-export const UploadFeature: FeatureProviderProviderServer<
-  UploadFeatureProps,
-  UploadFeaturePropsClient
-> = (props) => {
-  /*...*/
-  return {
-    feature: () => {
-      return {
-        nodes: [
-          createNode({
-            converters: {
-              html: yourHTMLConverter, // <= This is where you define your HTML Converter
-            },
-            node: UploadNode,
-            //...
-          }),
-        ],
-        ClientComponent: UploadFeatureClientComponent,
-        clientFeatureProps: clientProps,
-        serverFeatureProps: props,
-        /*...*/
-      }
-    },
-    key: 'upload',
-    serverFeatureProps: props,
-  }
-}

 ## Headless Editor
 
 Lexical provides a seamless way to perform conversions between various other formats:
 
-- HTML to Lexical (or, importing HTML into the lexical editor)
-- Markdown to Lexical (or, importing Markdown into the lexical editor)
+- HTML to Lexical
+- Markdown to Lexical
 - Lexical to Markdown
 
 A headless editor can perform such conversions outside of the main editor instance. Follow this method to initiate a headless editor:
 
 ```ts
 import { createHeadlessEditor } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical/headless'
-import { getEnabledNodes, sanitizeServerEditorConfig } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
+import { getEnabledNodes, editorConfigFactory } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
 
-const yourEditorConfig // <= your editor config here
 const payloadConfig // <= your Payload Config here
 
 const headlessEditor = createHeadlessEditor({
   nodes: getEnabledNodes({
-    editorConfig: sanitizeServerEditorConfig(yourEditorConfig, payloadConfig),
+    editorConfig: await editorConfigFactory.default({config: payloadConfig})
   }),
 })
 ```
 
 ### Getting the editor config

-]
+// Your config needs to be available in order to retrieve the default editor config
+const config: SanitizedConfig = {} as SanitizedConfig
+
+// Version 1 - use the default editor config
+const yourEditorConfig = await editorConfigFactory.default({ config })
+
+// Version 2 - if you have access to a lexical fields, you can extract the editor config from it
+const yourEditorConfig2 = editorConfigFactory.fromField({
+  field: collectionConfig.fields[1],
+})
+
+// Version 3 - create a new editor config - behaves just like instantiating a new `lexicalEditor`

 - `acl` is optional and defaults to `public-read`.

   **Domain-based Tenant Setting**:
 
-  This example also supports domain-based tenant selection, where tenants can be associated with a specific domain. If a tenant is associated with a domain (e.g., `gold.test:3000`), when a user logs in from that domain, they will be automatically scoped to the matching tenant. This is accomplished through an optional `afterLogin` hook that sets a `payload-tenant` cookie based on the domain.

This is accomplished through an optional `afterLogin` hook that sets a `payload-tenant` cookie based on the domain.
 
 For the domain portion of the example to function properly, you will need to add the following entries to your system's `/etc/hosts` file:

+# Payload Admin Bar
+
+An admin bar for React apps using [Payload](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload).
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+pnpm i @payloadcms/admin-bar
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```jsx
+import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar'
+
+export const App = () => {
+  return <PayloadAdminBar cmsURL="https://cms.website.com" collection="pages" id="12345" />
+}
+```
+
+Checks for authentication with Payload CMS by hitting the [`/me`](https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/operations#me) route. If authenticated, renders an admin bar with simple controls to do the following:
+
+- Navigate to the admin dashboard
+- Navigate to the currently logged-in user's account
+- Edit the current collection
+- Create a new collection of the same type
+- Logout
+- Indicate and exit preview mode
+
+The admin bar ships with very little style and is fully customizable.
+
+### Dynamic props
+
+With client-side routing, we need to update the admin bar with a new collection type and document id on each route change. This will depend on your app's specific setup, but here are a some common examples:
+
+#### NextJS
+
+For NextJS apps using dynamic-routes, use `getStaticProps`:
+
+```ts
+export const getStaticProps = async ({ params: { slug } }) => {
+  const props = {}
+
+  const pageReq = await fetch(
+    `https://cms.website.com/api/pages?where[slug][equals]=${slug}&depth=1`,
+  )
+  const pageData = await pageReq.json()
+
+  if (pageReq.ok) {
+    const { docs } = pageData
+    const [doc] = docs
+
+    props = {
+      ...doc,
+      collection: 'pages',
+      collectionLabels: {
+        singular: 'page',
+        plural: 'pages',
+      },
+    }
+  }
+
+  return props
+}
+```
+
+Now your app can forward these props onto the admin bar. Something like this:
+
+```ts
+import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar';
+
+export const App = (appProps) => {
+  const {
+    pageProps: {
+      collection,
+      collectionLabels,
+      id
+    }
+  } = appProps;
+
+  return (
+    <PayloadAdminBar
+      {...{
+        cmsURL: 'https://cms.website.com',
+        collection,
+        collectionLabels,
+        id
+      }}
+    />
+  )
+}
+```
+
