      Note: Please perform this stage before upgrading, or rebasing
      If you have already rebased your branch, please check out git at an earlier time:

      1. Set up the Matrix server using the simplified docker setup:
        https://github.com/andrewnicols/moodle-synapse
        If you have previously set this up then please:
      2. Copy the clean-matrix.php script to your moodle instance and run it from there
      3. Run the clean.sh script from the moodle-synapse directory

      Setup the Matrix server:

      1. Run the docker-compose up command from the moodle-synapse directory
      2. Wait 30 seconds
      3. Run the setup.sh from the moodle-synapse directory

      If you have not done this before see the GitHub repo for instructions on installing certificates

      Create some test data:

      1. Create a course
      2. Enrol some users in it, including:
        1. Students
        2. Teachers
        3. Editing Teachers
        4. The admin user as a Student
      3. Navigate to the course -> More menu -> Communication
      4. Create a Matrix room for it
      5. Create a second course
      6. Navigate to the course -> More menu -> Communication
      7. Configure a URL for it
      8. Run the cron to ensure that the

      3. Find the matrix-linked room for the first course you created
      4. Write a new placeholder message (e.g. "Starting testing")
      5. Run the upgrade
        1. Confirm that there were no changes to the matrix room
      6. Open a connection to the database with your preferred tooling

      Discovered this whilst discussing MDL-78689.
      This is a serious flaw and must fix for 4.3.

      We need 100% to store the contextid that a communication instance relates to.

      The API was incorrectly assuming that all uses of the API were for a course, and that the instanceid of the communication instance was a course id. These assumptions are both entirely wrong.

      The API is intended to support a range of uses including use at the site, user, and activity levels.

      Furthermore, if a group were to be used, then the instanceid should be of that group's id, and therefore the contextid would need to be fetched or that group's course instead.

      The only solution here is to add a new contextid field to the table, and implement it all parts of the API.
