The dashboard showed Cache, Security and Assistant and not this plugin. Being
absent from the dashboard is a different failure from being absent from the
menu, and Kristian hit them in that order — so each now has its own assertion
rather than one standing in for the other.
The card registers on wpmgr_dashboard_cards with the counts this plugin exists
to report: groups, and addresses currently receiving a discount.
Cached for five minutes. The contract says implementations must not measure
anything in that filter, because it runs on an admin page load and a slow card
makes somebody else's dashboard slow in a way they cannot attribute to us. Two
COUNT(*) on small indexed tables is the most this may cost, and the dashboard
is a page people leave open.
Status is warn rather than fail when nothing is configured: a shop that has
installed this and not set it up yet is unfinished, not broken. Reserving red
for actual breakage is what keeps red worth reading.
Two assertions, proven red by removing the add_filter:
FAIL this plugin puts a card on the shared dashboard — 0 card(s) registered
FAIL and it carries this plugin colour, not WooCommerce purple
— expected '#1a7a52', got NULL
The colour is matched against the literal, not against a constant. The shared
file renders whatever colour it is handed, so a card asserting its own constant
would agree with itself after somebody put WooCommerce purple back — the same
self-agreeing shape as the REST namespace assertion.

Kristian could not find this plugin in the Nolimit menu, and it still called
itself WooCommerce Email Discount Manager. Both are the display side of the
family rename; neither touches the installed folder.
Plugin Name is now "Nolimit Discounts". The folder, the text domain, the option
prefix and the three tables are deliberately unchanged: WordPress identifies a
plugin as <folder>/<file>, so renaming the folder would not move the
installation on the live shop — it would put a second copy beside it and leave
the old one active. That is a migration with a shim, and it is Kristian's call
rather than a side effect of a label change.
includes/shared-menu.php added, byte-identical to the family copy
(f4862d5c…c63185), and the page moved from the WooCommerce submenu to the
shared parent. The page slug is unchanged, so admin.php?page=… still resolves
and an existing bookmark keeps working — moving a page between parents does not
move its URL.
The label is claimed through the wpmgr_menu_title filter from this plugin's own
bootstrap, NOT by editing the shared file. Which copy of that file a site loads
is decided by activation order, and PHP cannot un-declare a function, so the
first copy wins for the whole request: editing it would make a site with three
of five plugins updated show "Manager" or "Nolimit" depending on who booted
first, and change its mind when a plugin is deactivated. The filter is
idempotent and a plugin still on an older build changes nothing.
The filter is registered before the WooCommerce gate, for the same reason the
updater is: the shared menu's label must not depend on whether this particular
plugin got past a check.
Two assertions, both proven red first. The label is asserted through the filter
rather than by reading the menu, because the menu is only built in an admin
request and the smoke tests run under WP-CLI. And the shared file's sha256 is
asserted, so editing it goes red here rather than going strange on a shop —
appending one comment line produced:
FAIL and the shared menu file is the family copy, unedited
— expected 'f4862d5c…', got '45df6b55…'
Also caught in passing by the kit, working exactly as intended: the new
shared-menu.php was untracked, and "every file the plugin loads is a file the
release contains" failed rather than shipping a zip without it.
