Walkthrough

Adds a private selfServeArchives feature flag and a feature-gated “Export data” flow. The flow uses asynchronous email delivery when an archive host exists and synchronous ZIP download otherwise. The modal supports component selection, media restrictions, cancellation, progress, completion, and reset states. Acceptance tests cover both archive-host configurations and export behavior.

ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/GVA-921/1-click-export-uxui

Static UX/UI mockup for the one-click data export direction, so the
flow can be experienced in context and discussed before any backend
work is committed to. Behind the new private selfServeArchives flag;
with the flag off, the existing export buttons are untouched.

With the flag on, the individual export buttons are replaced by a
single "Export data" dialog with per-component checkboxes. The dialog
adapts to the delivery mode the implementation plan proposes:

- a host archive URL configured (e.g. Ghost(Pro)): media files are
  offered and the confirmation explains the download link arrives by
  email, since the host builds the full archive in the background
- no host configured (self-hosters): media is not offered (with a
  docs link explaining how to get it) and the flow simulates a
  synchronous zip download, including a mock downloaded file so the
  browser's own save behaviour can be evaluated

Nothing is wired to a backend: the mode comes from config, but
confirming an export only advances the mocked dialog states.

Implements the sync delivery mode of the one-click data export, building
on the mockup that landed in #29915 and the four behaviour-preserving
refactors below this PR in the stack. With the `selfServeArchives` labs
flag on, "Export data" now really downloads a full site archive: `GET
/ghost/api/admin/exports/download/` streams one zip composed of content
JSON, members CSV, post analytics CSV, per-theme zips, and
routes/redirects — everything except media, which stays reserved for the
host (async) mode that isn't part of this PR (its dialog branch remains
mocked).

## How the zip is composed

The orchestrator calls the same services the five standalone export
endpoints call — no HTTP self-calls, no background jobs, no duplicated
controller logic:

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    UI["Export data dialog"] -- "GET /exports/download/?components=…" --> C["exports controller"]
    C --> SE["SiteExporter (services/exports)"]
    SE -- "membersService.export({limit:'all'})" --> M["members.csv"]
    SE -- "postsService.export({limit:'all'})" --> A["post-analytics.csv"]
    SE -- "doExport()" --> J["export.json"]
    SE -- "themeStorage.zipToFile()" --> T["themes/{name}.zip"]
    SE -- "routeSettings / customRedirects" --> R["routes.yaml + redirects.yaml"]
    M & A & J & T & R --> Z["archiver zip → streamed response"]
```

Decisions worth reviewing:

- **Streamed, not staged.** The zip pipes to the response while it's
built, so memory stays flat and the download starts immediately. The
price is failure semantics: once headers are sent, a component that
fails to acquire can only be skipped (it's logged server-side and simply
absent from the bundle). A mid-stream failure of a CSV source
deliberately destroys the archive — a visibly broken download beats a
silently incomplete one — and stream lifecycles are tied together in
both directions so a dropped DB connection can't hang the response and a
client disconnect can't pin a DB connection or leak staged temp files.
- **Restorable artifacts.** `export.json` is byte-identical to the
`/db/` download and themes are the exact zips the theme upload accepts,
so every piece of the bundle restores through existing import surfaces —
proven by a round-trip e2e test that re-imports each artifact through
the real import endpoints.
- **Permissions reuse `db.exportContent`** (Owner/Administrator only)
instead of minting a new permission + migration: a site export contains
everything a database export contains, so the same gate applies — and
it's a superset of every composed component's own requirement.
- **Flag-only gating.** The feature stays behind the `selfServeArchives`
labs flag, and that flag is the whole gate — no config capability signal
for deploy skew at this stage. If the flag graduates, feature detection
can come back with the GA work.
- **The dialog downloads through the fetch-based blob helper** rather
than a plain navigation: a navigation download is unobservable from the
page, which would leave the dialog stuck on "Preparing your export…"
forever and swallow errors. The blob approach gives a real "Export
downloaded" state, error feedback with retry, and a working Cancel
(AbortController). Browsers back large blobs with disk, so the zip
doesn't have to fit in tab memory.
- **`archiver` becomes a direct dependency** of ghost/core, but adds no
new code to the tree: `@tryghost/zip` already pins the same
`archiver@8.0.0` internally, and its own file-based `compress`/`extract`
API can't stream a zip into an HTTP response.

## Testing it locally

1. `pnpm dev`, then in Ghost Admin enable **Settings → Labs → Private
features → Self-serve archives** (developer experiments must be on).
2. Go to **Settings → Import/Export → Export** — the individual export
buttons are replaced by one **Export data** button.
3. Pick components and hit Export: the dialog shows "Preparing your
export…" with a working Cancel, and flips to "Export downloaded" when
the zip lands in your downloads.
4. Restore-compatibility: the zip's `export.json` imports via the
universal importer, `members.csv` via the members importer,
`themes/*.zip` via theme upload, `routes.yaml`/`redirects.yaml` via
their uploads.
5. With the flag off, the Export tab is byte-identical to `main`.

## Automated tests

- `SiteExporter` unit tests cover the failure paths: component skipping,
partial themes, mid-stream teardown, client-abort cleanup.
- E2E tests are split across two files by necessity: the 4xx cases
(validation, labs gate, permissions) use the in-process agent, while the
actual downloads run over real HTTP like the theme download tests — the
in-process agent's mock socket never signals `drain`, deadlocking any
streamed body larger than the write buffer.
- The download test seeds more posts than the posts exporter's default
page cap, guarding against silent truncation (an unlimited export once
defaulted to 15 posts).
- A round-trip e2e test re-imports every artifact through the real
import endpoints, so format drift fails CI instead of surfacing as a
broken restore.
- Admin acceptance tests cover both dialog modes, component selection,
and the download-complete and download-failed states.
