Does this only cover an admin puppetting a user via the API, or are there other examples? (Appservices?)

Appservices don't seem to, however the server can in some cases impersonate users in which case that is specified as an authenticated entity however those wouldn't correspond to any request lines because they're all internal.

Thanks. I'd be tempted to add a snippet says: "e.g. if aaa is controlling bbb via the admin API" and linking to the relevant docs.

But you might consider that overkill. I'll leave it to your discretion!

Synapse 1.68.0 (2022-09-27)
===========================

Please note that Synapse will now refuse to start if configured to use a version of SQLite older than 3.27.

In addition, please note that installing Synapse from a source checkout now requires a recent Rust compiler.
Those using packages will not be affected. On most platforms, installing with `pip install matrix-synapse` will not be affected.
See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.68/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1680).

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix packaging to include `Cargo.lock` in `sdist`. ([\matrix-org#13909](matrix-org#13909))

Synapse 1.68.0rc2 (2022-09-23)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix building from packaged sdist. Broken in v1.68.0rc1. ([\matrix-org#13866](matrix-org#13866))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Fix the release script not publishing binary wheels. ([\matrix-org#13850](matrix-org#13850))

Synapse 1.68.0rc1 (2022-09-20)
==============================

Features
--------

- Keep track of when we fail to process a pulled event over federation so we can intelligently back off in the future. ([\matrix-org#13589](matrix-org#13589), [\matrix-org#13814](matrix-org#13814))
- Add an [admin API endpoint to fetch messages within a particular window of time](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.68/admin_api/rooms.html#room-messages-api). ([\matrix-org#13672](matrix-org#13672))
- Add an [admin API endpoint to find a user based on their external ID in an auth provider](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.68/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#find-a-user-based-on-their-id-in-an-auth-provider). ([\matrix-org#13810](matrix-org#13810))
- Cancel the processing of key query requests when they time out. ([\matrix-org#13680](matrix-org#13680))
- Improve validation of request bodies for the following client-server API endpoints: [`/account/3pid/msisdn/requestToken`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3account3pidmsisdnrequesttoken), [`/org.matrix.msc3720/account_status`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/babolivier/user_status/proposals/3720-account-status.md#post-_matrixclientv1account_status), [`/account/3pid/add`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3account3pidadd), [`/account/3pid/bind`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3account3pidbind), [`/account/3pid/delete`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3account3piddelete) and [`/account/3pid/unbind`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3account3pidunbind). ([\matrix-org#13687](matrix-org#13687), [\matrix-org#13736](matrix-org#13736))
- Document the timestamp when a user accepts the consent, if [consent tracking](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/consent_tracking.html) is used. ([\matrix-org#13741](matrix-org#13741))
- Add a `listeners[x].request_id_header` configuration option to specify which request header to extract and use as the request ID in order to correlate requests from a reverse proxy. ([\matrix-org#13801](matrix-org#13801))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.41.0 where the `/hierarchy` API returned non-standard information (a `room_id` field under each entry in `children_state`). ([\matrix-org#13506](matrix-org#13506))
- Fix a long-standing bug where previously rejected events could end up in room state because they pass auth checks given the current state of the room. ([\matrix-org#13723](matrix-org#13723))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse fails to start if a signing key file contains an empty line. ([\matrix-org#13738](matrix-org#13738))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would fail to handle malformed user IDs or room aliases gracefully in certain cases. ([\matrix-org#13746](matrix-org#13746))
- Fix a long-standing bug where device lists would remain cached when remote users left and rejoined the last room shared with the local homeserver. ([\matrix-org#13749](matrix-org#13749), [\matrix-org#13826](matrix-org#13826))
- Fix a long-standing bug that could cause stale caches in some rare cases on the first startup of Synapse with replication. ([\matrix-org#13766](matrix-org#13766))
- Fix a long-standing spec compliance bug where Synapse would accept a trailing slash on the end of `/get_missing_events` federation requests. ([\matrix-org#13789](matrix-org#13789))
- Delete associated data from `event_failed_pull_attempts`, `insertion_events`, `insertion_event_extremities`, `insertion_event_extremities`, `insertion_event_extremities` when purging the room. ([\matrix-org#13825](matrix-org#13825))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Note that `libpq` is required on ARM-based Macs. ([\matrix-org#13480](matrix-org#13480))
- Fix a mistake in the config manual introduced in Synapse 1.22.0: the `event_cache_size` _is_ scaled by `caches.global_factor`. ([\matrix-org#13726](matrix-org#13726))
- Fix a typo in the documentation for the login ratelimiting configuration. ([\matrix-org#13727](matrix-org#13727))
- Define Synapse's compatability policy for SQLite versions. ([\matrix-org#13728](matrix-org#13728))
- Add docs for the common fix of deleting the `matrix_synapse.egg-info/` directory for fixing Python dependency problems. ([\matrix-org#13785](matrix-org#13785))
- Update request log format documentation to mention the format used when the authenticated user is controlling another user. ([\matrix-org#13794](matrix-org#13794))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Synapse will now refuse to start if configured to use SQLite < 3.27. ([\matrix-org#13760](matrix-org#13760))
- Don't include redundant `prev_state` in new events. Contributed by Denis Kariakin (@dakariakin). ([\matrix-org#13791](matrix-org#13791))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Add a stub Rust crate. ([\matrix-org#12595](matrix-org#12595), [\matrix-org#13734](matrix-org#13734), [\matrix-org#13735](matrix-org#13735), [\matrix-org#13743](matrix-org#13743), [\matrix-org#13763](matrix-org#13763), [\matrix-org#13769](matrix-org#13769), [\matrix-org#13778](matrix-org#13778))
- Bump the minimum dependency of `matrix_common` to 1.3.0 to make use of the `MXCUri` class. Use `MXCUri` to simplify media retention test code. ([\matrix-org#13162](matrix-org#13162))
- Add and populate the `event_stream_ordering` column on the `receipts` table for future optimisation of push action processing. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). ([\matrix-org#13703](matrix-org#13703))
- Rename the `EventFormatVersions` enum values so that they line up with room version numbers. ([\matrix-org#13706](matrix-org#13706))

- Instrument `get_metadata_for_events` for understandable traces in Jaeger. ([\matrix-org#13730](matrix-org#13730))
- Remove old queries to join room memberships to current state events. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). ([\matrix-org#13745](matrix-org#13745))
- Avoid raising an error due to malformed user IDs in `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Malformed user IDs cannot currently join a room, so this error would not be hit. ([\matrix-org#13748](matrix-org#13748))
- Update the docstrings for `get_users_in_room` and `get_current_hosts_in_room` to explain the impact of partial state. ([\matrix-org#13750](matrix-org#13750))

- Tag traces with the instance name to be able to easily jump into the right logs and filter traces by instance. ([\matrix-org#13761](matrix-org#13761))
- Concurrently fetch room push actions when calculating badge counts. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). ([\matrix-org#13765](matrix-org#13765))
- Update the script which makes full schema dumps. ([\matrix-org#13770](matrix-org#13770))
- Deduplicate `is_server_notices_room`. ([\matrix-org#13780](matrix-org#13780))
- Simplify the dependency DAG in the tests workflow. ([\matrix-org#13784](matrix-org#13784))
- Remove an old, incorrect migration file. ([\matrix-org#13788](matrix-org#13788))
- Remove unused method in `synapse.api.auth.Auth`. ([\matrix-org#13795](matrix-org#13795))
- Fix a memory leak when running the unit tests. ([\matrix-org#13798](matrix-org#13798))

- Support providing an index predicate clause when doing upserts. ([\matrix-org#13822](matrix-org#13822))
- Minor speedups to linting in CI. ([\matrix-org#13827](matrix-org#13827))
