Added

Automatically change active step in participatory processes

PR #9026 adds the ability to automatically change the active step of participatory processess. This is an optional behavior that system admins can enable by configuring a cron job. The frequency of the cron task should be decided by the system admin and depends on each platform's use cases. A precision of 15min is enough for most cases. An example of a crontab job may be:

*/15 * * * * cd /home/user/decidim_application && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake decidim_participatory_processes:change_active_step

Each time the job executes it checks all currently active and published participatory processes and for each, it checks the steps with the date range in the current date. If a change should be made, it deactivates the previous step and activates the next step.

Platform administrators will always have the possibility to manually change phases, although if a cron job is configured the change may be undone.

This PR also changes the Step start_date and end_date fields to timestamps.

Changed

Tailwind CSS introduction

Decidim redesign has introduced Tailwind CSS framework to compile CSS. It integrates with Webpacker, which generates Tailwind configuration dynamically when Webpacker is invoked. More details in the PR #9480.

You'll need to add tailwind.config.js to your app .gitignore. If you generate a new Decidim app from scratch, that entry will already be included in the .gitignore.
