Configuration changes needed for deployments using workers

For deployments using workers, please note that this version introduces a new quarantined_media_changes stream writer, which may require configuration changes.
Please see the the relevant section in the upgrade notes for details.

Without configuring this new stream writer, only the main process will be able to handle the /media/quarantine admin API endpoints for quarantining media.

Synapse 1.152.0rc1 (2026-04-22)

• Fix database migrations failing on platforms where SQLite is configured with SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE by default, such as macOS. (#​19690)

Features
