First PR to replace pytz with zoneinfo for UTC handling across codebase.
This PR migrates all UTC timezone handling from pytz to Python’s standard
library zoneinfo. The pytz library is now deprecated, and its documentation
recommends using zoneinfo for all new code. This update modernizes our
codebase, removes legacy pytz usage, and ensures compatibility with
current best practices for timezone management in Python 3.9+. No functional
changes to timezone logic - just a direct replacement for UTC handling.

In the context of edx-platform django settings,
devstack_docker is an alias to devstack. Both
are deprecated, technically, but we currently
want to remove all devstack-related settings files
except devstack.py (which tutor still uses). So,
in order to remove devstack_docker.py, we update
its references to devstack.py
This reverts commit 4ec70eb98b.
This commit introduced a new setting (`brand_color`) that does not appear to be set and is causing issues with account deletion and other parts of the courseware.
Reverting until we can understand the change better.
From the warning: Django now detects this configuration automatically.
You can remove default_app_config.
This also removes two warnings from shell startup.
* Revert "feat: remove `field-data` service from runtime initialization"
This reverts commit 6c435bb68c.
* Revert "feat: remove field data binding from the runtime"
This reverts commit 5f46ea52cd.
After changes from #31472, the user service of a "leaf" XBlock gets overridden
with the one created for its parent (SequenceBlock). Therefore, the
`requires_per_student_anonymous_id` is ignored in these XBlocks. The
subsequent renders of an XBlock (e.g., when requesting the solution) use
the student-specific IDs.
This removes choosing the proper ID (course-specific or student-specific) from
the runtime initialization. Instead, both IDs are passed to the user service.
There are only two XBlocks that relied on the
`requires_per_student_anonymous_id` - `ProblemBlock` and `HtmlBlock`. They
now request the "deprecated" (student-specific) user ID directly from the user
service.
Remove temporary FutureCourseWaffleFlag class;
Update ora2 and edx-toggles to versions cleaned from the
LegacyWaffle* classes;
Replace `override_flag`s with `override_waffle_flag`;
Replace `override_switch`s with `override_waffle_switch` (where it's possible).
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.
LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;
BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.
This was the "outline tab" view of the course. Preceded by the
course info view, succeeded by the MFE outline tab.
In addition to the course home view itself, this drops related
features:
- Legacy version of Course Goals (MFE has a newer implementation)
- Course home in-course search (MFE has no search)
The old course info view and course about views survive for now.
This also drops a few now-unused feature toggles:
- course_experience.latest_update
- course_experience.show_upgrade_msg_on_course_home
- course_experience.upgrade_deadline_message
- course_home.course_home_use_legacy_frontend
With this change, just the progress and courseware tabs are still
supported in legacy form, if you opt-in with waffle flags. The
outline and dates tabs are offered only by the MFE.

Description
This is a follow up to #29058 and #29413. This is the next step in moving part of the modulestore data (the course indexes / "active versions" table) from MongoDB to MySQL.
There are four steps planned in moving course index data to MySQL:
Step 1: create the tables in MySQL, start writing to MySQL + MongoDB ✅ done
Step 2: migrate all remaining courses to MySQL ✅ done
Step 3: switch reads from MongoDB to MySQL (this PR)
Step 4 (much later, once we know this is working well): stop writing to MongoDB altogether.
Supporting information
OpenCraft Jira ticket: MNG-2557
Status
✅ Tested with a large Open edX instance is in progress.
Testing instructions
Try making changes in Studio and verify that they work fine.
Deadline
None
It's long past time that the default test modulestore was Split,
instead of Old Mongo. This commit switches the default store and
fixes some tests that now fail:
- Tests that didn't expect MFE to be enabled (because we don't
enable MFE for Old Mongo) - opt out of MFE for those
- Tests that hardcoded old key string formats
- Lots of other random little differences
In many places, I didn't spend much time trying to figure out how to
properly fix the test, and instead just set the modulestore to Old
Mongo.
For those tests that I didn't spend time investigating, I've set
the modulestore to TEST_DATA_MONGO_AMNESTY_MODULESTORE - search for
that string to find further work.
If a learner changes modes (like upgrades to a verified learner),
we will reset their schedule for them. But if they did this before
the course started, we would accidentally set their schedule to
the current time. So when the course did start, they would already
appear to be behind schedule.
That's silly. So now we always look at course start time when
resetting the learner's schedule.
