For #29426
For #30941
We didn't have an activities subtask for Hydrant so some changes related
to them were unfortunately missed and discovered during engineering
test. This addresses that and also fixes one other API issue noticed
where the GET endpoint was not returning the proper timestamps. No
changes file added because the Hydrant story changes file already covers
this feature

---
Backend changes to unblock the development of the orbit and frontend
changes.
New GET and PUT APIs for setting/getting software for Linux Setup
Experience:
```
curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEST_TOKEN" https://localhost:8080/api/latest/fleet/setup_experience/linux/software?team_id=8&per_page=3000
curl -k -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEST_TOKEN" https://localhost:8080/api/latest/fleet/setup_experience/linux/software -d '{"team_id":8,"software_title_ids":[3000, 3001, 3007]}'
```
New setup_experience/init API called by orbit to trigger the Linux setup
experience on the device:
```
curl -v -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://localhost:8080/api/fleet/orbit/setup_experience/init" -d '{"orbit_node_key": "ynYEtFsvv9xZ7rX619UE8of1I28H+GCj"}'
```
Get status API to call on "My device":
```
curl -v -k -X POST "https://localhost:8080/api/latest/fleet/device/7d940b6e-130a-493b-b58a-2b6e9f9f8bfc/setup_experience/status"
```

## Testing

- [X] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

## New Fleet configuration settings
- [X] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [X] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)
- [X] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not
supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- New Features
- Added Linux support for Setup Experience alongside macOS.
- Introduced platform-specific admin APIs to configure and retrieve
Setup Experience software (macOS/Linux).
- Added device API to report Setup Experience status and an Orbit API to
initialize Setup Experience on non-macOS devices.
- Setup Experience now gates policy queries on Linux until setup is
complete.
- New activity log entry when Setup Experience software is edited
(includes platform and team).
- Documentation
- Updated audit logs reference to include the new “edited setup
experience software” event.

The existing query used a CROSS JOIN with USING(uid), which is not valid
SQL in Fleet/osquery/SQLite and prevented the query from being saved.
This change replaces the CROSS JOIN with a standard JOIN ... ON ...
clause. The explicit ON form was chosen for clarity:
- Makes the join condition (u.uid = vs.uid) explicit to readers
- Avoids the subtle column-merging behavior of USING
This preserves the intended behavior (joining users with their installed
VS Code extensions) while ensuring the query runs correctly in Fleet.
The existing query used a CROSS JOIN with USING(id), which is not valid
SQL in Fleet/SQLite and resulted in a syntax error when saving the
query.
This change replaces the CROSS JOIN with a standard JOIN ... ON ...
clause. The explicit ON form was chosen for clarity:
- Makes the join condition (c.id = p.id) obvious to readers
- Avoids the subtle column-merging behavior of USING
This preserves the intended behavior (joining containers with their
processes by ID) while ensuring the query can be saved and run correctly
in Fleet.

This was added a few fleetd/Fleet server releases ago; lack of docs was
an oversight at that point.

Fixes#31781
Only test-related changes.
I found this useful for agentic AI workflows. For example, you have an
AI agent debugging/rerunning a test. Meanwhile, you can spin up another
`mysql_test` instance in another workarea and work there in parallel.
Fixes#31693
Manually forced a run for MySQL 8.4.6 to validate.
# Checklist for submitter
- Changes not needed since this is not a product change.
