`ci/bump-tested-up-to.sh` ran `git config user.name "compatibility check"`
before committing. That writes .git/config and outlives the script, so from
the first run onward every commit in that working copy is authored by
"compatibility check <noreply@localhost>" with no Co-Authored-By trailer —
including a release made by a person days later about something else.
git announces an identity it cannot FIND and says nothing about one that is
wrong, so the missing case is loud and this one is silent. Nothing fails,
nothing warns, and the author is only visible to somebody reading `git log`
for another reason. Measured across the family by the Nolimit Security
session: six misattributed hand commits in one sibling including two
releases, two in another, one in a third. This tree was clean — no local
identity, 0 misattributed — and one run of the script away.
The commit still signs itself as the robot, which is right: that one is not
a person's. It just does it with `git -c … commit`, which configures the
command and not the clone.
Guarded in ci/static.sh, because the fix is one line and reverting it would
be invisible for exactly as long as nobody reads an author field. Widened
past what was reported: the pattern accepts any scope flag, since --global
is the same fault one scope wider and reaches every repository on the box.
Proven with a full matrix rather than one trigger — no flag, --local,
--global and --system each go red with the named message and exit 1; a
commented mention, `git -c user.name=… commit`, `git config core.autocrlf`
and `git config --global core.pager` all stay green. The correct form being
a control matters: a check that flagged the fix would get one of the two
deleted. Five of those assertions are now in ci/selftest.sh (36 total), each
with a landing check that the plant is in the file before its verdict is
believed, and the passing line carries the script count — "every script is
clean" reads the same over zero files as over eleven.
ci/ ships nothing, so there is no version bump and no release here.

Kristian asked the family to check WordPress 7.1.2. Run pinned rather than
against "latest", because latest drifts and then nobody knows which version a
green belonged to:
PHP 7.4 69 assertions, 0 failures "none from this plugin"
PHP 8.3 69 assertions, 0 failures "none from this plugin"
PHP 8.4 69 assertions, 0 failures "none from this plugin"
The container reported WordPress 7.1.2 and WooCommerce 11.1.2 on all three,
read out of the run rather than from the variable it was given. So there is no
problem with 7.1.2 here.
The findings were in the reporting, not the code.
The headers were stale: "Tested up to: 7.1" and "WC tested up to: 11.1.0"
against current 7.1.2 and 11.1.2. The WooCommerce one is the visible half — a
shop on 11.1.2 sees an untested warning on the WooCommerce status page, and on
this plugin that banner sits in front of somebody deciding whether to update a
discount engine.
And the suite said "All assertions passed" without a number, which is the exact
failure every other check here was fixed for. It now prints the count.
🔴 Then the floor for that count found a bigger hole than it was written for.
Putting it at the end of the smoke file does nothing: wp eval-file runs the
file in function scope, so a `return` partway through skips everything after
it, including the floor. Measured — truncating tests/smoke.php before the
shipping section ran two thirds of the assertions and ci/site-test.sh reported
GREEN.
A file cannot assert about its own early exit. ci/site-test.sh now captures the
output and checks the total against MIN_SITE_ASSERTIONS from outside, where an
early return cannot reach, and fails when the summary line is missing
altogether. The in-file floor stays for a short run that does reach the end.
Proven with the same fixture that exposed it: the truncated suite now exits 1
saying it printed no assertion total.

The status pill on the shared dashboard is white 11px text over a light
overlay. SEO measured it two ways, arithmetic and a canvas read-back in
headless Chromium: this plugin's #1a7a52 gave 3.50:1 against a 4.5 minimum,
and six of eight family colours failed along with the no-colour fallback.
Not fixable by choosing a different card colour. The header is a direct pair
and passes at 5.32:1; the pill is a COMPOSITE, and 22% white is a floor — a
card has to reach about 7.7:1 before the pill clears 4.5, which is above the
whole family band. So it is the shared file or seven plugins giving up the
colour the cards exist to carry. 1.2.3 makes the overlay rgba(0,0,0,.18) and
this plugin's pill goes to 7.15:1.
Verified before copying: the hash, and php -w over both files to confirm the
executable code really changed — the diff is the version constant and that one
CSS value, nothing else.
The new assertion renders the dashboard and reads the pill out of what came
back, and it is built around the trap SEO warned about: their first harness
printed "no problem" over a code path it never entered, because it stubbed
wpmgr_cards instead of wpmgr_dashboard_cards and the renderer took its early
return. So the card's own title is asserted first — if the renderer bailed,
nothing after it means anything — and the OLD rgba is asserted ABSENT, because
a check that cannot tell the two versions apart cannot testify about either.
Both proven: against 471b0a2a it fails naming "the old 22% white", and with the
card filter removed it fails at 81 bytes rendered. That 81 is the same number
SEO reported from their own broken harness, which is independent confirmation
it is the same code path.

Kristian checked out with an address in no group and was offered both free
delivery methods set up for the Netic group. Measured on the shop before
touching anything: one group, four rules, two of them "show" on the free
delivery methods he saw.
It was not a regression. A test asserted the behaviour as intended — "an
unmatched customer sees every method" — so a "show" rule was a whitelist FOR
THE GROUP and nothing more. The plugin did half of what its own description
promises: it filtered what the group sees and never reserved anything from
anyone else. On a shop that takes money the effect is that free delivery
arranged for one company is available to every customer.
A method named in any group's show rules is now reserved for the groups that
name it.
Answering "does it work for other discounts too", which found the hole the
first fix left: it did not. A group with NO rules of its own returned every
rate untouched, and so did a group carrying only "hide" rules, because neither
engages the whitelist — so their members saw another group's reserved methods.
Both now have other groups' reserved methods removed.
The "never leave the customer without shipping" guard is kept and asserted: a
shop that reserved everything it offers must still let an ordinary customer
check out, because that failure is worse than the leak.
Four assertions, each proven red. Two of them caught my own mistakes rather
than the product's: the hide-only fixture originally left nothing for the
customer, so the guard fired and returned every rate — which reads exactly like
the leak it was written to detect. A third rate makes the behaviour observable.

Kristian read the readme and found it still telling people to configure the
plugin under WooCommerce, for a page that moved to the Nolimit menu three
releases ago. Sweeping for it found seven stale places, and three of them are
notices THE PLUGIN SHOWS THE USER — the missing-WooCommerce notice, the
activation error and the incomplete-install warning all still called it
WooCommerce Email Discount Manager.
That is the mimir.guide failure exactly: the code moved, the text stood still,
and nothing failed. It was found by somebody reading, which is the only way it
could be found, and that is the argument for the check rather than for being
more careful next time.
ci/static.sh now asserts two things. The name in readme.txt's title matches the
Plugin Name header, because the header is what WordPress shows and everything
else has to agree with it. And no shipped PHP file contains OLD_PLUGIN_NAME,
which is now a value in ci/plugin.conf rather than a habit.
The changelog is deliberately exempt: an entry describes what was true for that
release, and rewriting it would be a different lie. Only text describing the
CURRENT state is checked.
Both halves proven red — a readme title that disagrees, and the old name put
back into one notice.
Not changed: the page stays under Nolimit rather than gaining a second entry
under WooCommerce. One menu is the family's shape, and a duplicate entry is
clutter rather than a fix for a readme that was simply wrong.

678f1f03 is withdrawn. It hard-coded the icon box at 36x34, and WordPress
declares that parent three times with different sizes — 36x34 open, 35x30
folded, 34x30 under 960px — so a fixed number is correct in one state and 4px
too tall in the two a laptop is usually in. cache-manager measured where the
ink lands rather than where the box is and found it worse than that: the glyph
moved from 2.5px above centre to 2.5px below in the folded states, the same
error mirrored, in a state that had been nearly right. 1.2.2 removes the number
entirely with width/height at 100%.
1.5.2 is already published with 678f1f03, so this tree shipped the withdrawn
version. Checked before anything else, because a later candidate fatalled on
every admin page with "Unknown format specifier": that file was never taken
here, and the published 1.5.2 emits its stylesheet cleanly — verified by
running sprintf over its format string rather than reading it. So the shop is
cosmetically off in folded menus, not broken.
New assertion, and it is the one this round is really about: the style
function is INVOKED and its output captured, rather than the source being
read. The fatal that prompted it survived three sessions reading the file,
a clean php -l, a clean PHPCS, and two browsers agreeing about the CSS —
because every one of those was fed the stylesheet by hand rather than through
the printf that produces it. A literal per-cent must be doubled in a format
string, and nothing that looks at the file can see that.
Proven red with that exact fault rather than an arbitrary one: undoubling the
per-cent gives "ValueError: Unknown format specifier ';'".

Kristian reported the infinity sign sitting above centre in the admin menu on
the live shop. Security traced it to WordPress's own stylesheet rather than
adjusting it by eye: #adminmenu div.wp-menu-image is 36x34 and its :before
carries padding 7px 0, which is exactly 7 + 20 + 7 for a 20px dashicon at
line-height 1. The 1.2.0 rule set line-height 1.4 and inherited that padding,
so the pseudo-element was 42px tall inside a 34px parent.
1.2.1 reproduces the box, drops the padding and centres with flex — geometry
rather than a nudge, because U+221E sits on the maths axis instead of filling
its em box.
It is the same half-done abstraction as the escaping fix: the filter made the
character configurable and left the geometry tuned for one specific character.
Nothing could fail, because the only value anyone ever passed was the one it
was tuned for.
Verified before copying, including the part that makes the check meaningful:
Security predicted php -w WOULD differ this round, since the executable code
changed — so equal stripped hashes would have meant the wrong file. They
differ, and the diff is the version constant plus the CSS geometry, with
wpmgr_css_escape untouched.

Under `set -o pipefail` a grep that MATCHES can make the pipeline exit 141:
grep closes the pipe on its first hit, the producer takes SIGPIPE, and pipefail
reports that as failure. A match becomes an error. Security found the shape;
measured here before believing it, because the earlier pipefail lesson went the
other way and I did not want to carry a second claim I had not seen:
yes hittet | grep -q hittet under pipefail -> exit 141
printf hittet | grep -q hittet -> exit 0
So it needs the producer to outrun the 64 KB pipe buffer, which is why it is
invisible until it is not.
Two of this repo's sites can get there, and both were converted. Neither is
reachable today — that is the reason to do it now rather than an argument
against:
ci/publish-release.sh checked the release feed for a download URL. The feed is
3.5 KB in the new repo and 13.5 KB in the old one across seven releases, so
about 1.9 KB each: it reaches 64 KB around release 34. That failure would land
in the publishing path and say the feed has no zip attached while it plainly
has one, and nothing about the commit that tripped it would have anything to do
with it. A bug on a timer is worse than a bug.
ci/static.sh checked whether each plugin-relative include is in the shipped
list, once per include. Same growth, plus a fork per iteration.
Both now use `case`, which has no pipe, no fork and no producer to signal, and
cannot be reversed by a shell option. The static.sh one wraps both sides in
newlines to keep the exact-line match `grep -qx` gave. Proven both ways:
thirteen includes checked on a clean tree, and excluding one from the zip still
names it.
The remaining `| grep -q` sites were measured rather than assumed safe:
zip_entries is 1.3 KB, the shipped list 478 bytes, static.sh's own output
1.6 KB, and site-test.sh and update-smoke.sh grep a single line of wp-cli
output. Left alone; converting those would be churn against producers that
cannot plausibly reach the buffer.

Three things, all the same shape: a check that recognises a spelling has one
blind spot per spelling, and one that reads the thing itself has none of that
kind. Security hit it when an assertion matching the literal '∞' went red over
a file drawing exactly that character through a CSS escape.
Swept this repo's assertions for the same and found two.
"the plugin itself loads the shared menu file" searched THIS FILE'S SOURCE TEXT
for "'includes/shared-menu.php',". A comment mentioning that path would have
satisfied it — the same hollow shape as grepping a file for the words of the
guard it is supposed to have, which this kit already had once today. The admin
list is now a method, admin_includes(), and the test reads the array the plugin
actually loads from. Proven red by removing the entry: the failure prints the
list it did find.
The package-URL check asserted the absence of one particular IP address.
Gitea's ROOT_URL has been a raw address before and may be again, so naming
today's is blind to tomorrow's. It now asserts the host and the scheme.
Proven red with the realistic fault rather than a contrived one — the raw
address in the Update URI header:
FAIL so it is never the raw address … expected 'gitea.nolimit.dk', got '57.129.89.117'
FAIL and it is fetched over https … expected 'https', got 'http'
And ci/build-zip.sh left the archive behind when it failed. Every exit in the
checks section happens after the archive is written, so a failed build kept a
half-built artefact that looks exactly like a good one — and both the release
step and anyone publishing by hand take build/<slug>.zip by name. Found by
stubbing ci/dist-files.sh empty: exit 1, correct message, zip still on disk.
A trap removes it now, proven both ways.
Checked while here, from Security's report that the kit's shipped-file floor
was unguarded: this copy is guarded, and red for the right reason. Stubbing the
file list empty gives exit 1, one FAIL naming the empty list, and zero
occurrences of the "every one guarded" line — which is the assertion that
matters, since being red for an unrelated reason would look identical from the
exit code.

The published 1.5.0 carries includes/shared-menu.php at f4862d5c — contract
1.0.0, the oldest of the six, in an artefact a shop downloads. It was built
before the family froze 1.1.0 and again 1.2.0, so the zip is older than the
repo in the one way that reaches a customer.
This release carries 9012fe98, so the menu shows the infinity glyph and the
glyph is emitted as CSS numeric escapes rather than through esc_attr().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Frozen by Nolimit SEO as 9012fe98, and it fixes something found here: the 1.1.0
glyph went through esc_attr() into a <style> element, where HTML entities are
not decoded by the CSS parser. It was protecting by coincidence rather than by
working, and Security found the case where the coincidence stops covering — a
backslash, which esc_attr leaves alone, is a CSS escape and swallows the
closing quote.
No injection was possible on any input any of us could construct, so this is
hardening rather than a hole, and the value comes from plugin code rather than
from a request.
The fix changes the alphabet instead of filtering the input: the glyph is
emitted as CSS numeric escapes, so what reaches the stylesheet is nothing but
backslashes, hex digits and spaces. cache-manager's statement of why that is
the right shape is the one worth keeping — the value CANNOT CONTAIN A
DELIMITER. "It escapes correctly" is a description, and a whitelist claims the
same description while needing to be kept honest against inputs nobody has
thought of yet.
Verified here rather than accepted:
- sha256 matches 9012fe98 before copying.
- The "b8d9284b plus two full stops and a phpcs pair" claim is comment-only,
measured with php -w over both: one sha256 for the stripped source.
- The escaper itself run against seven inputs including a bare backslash, a
quote, a CSS breakout, an HTML breakout and a NUL, asserting the output
matches nothing outside [backslash, hex, space]. All seven clean.
- Correct codepoints, and no mb_* calls, so the hand-written decoder holds on
installs without mbstring — which is every install none of us test on.
WPMGR_MENU_SHA updated in ci/plugin.conf. SEO's instruction said ci/static.sh,
which is their layout, not this one — following it literally would have set a
variable nothing reads, green on both sides while the check still asserted the
old value. Found by searching for the OLD VALUE rather than the path: zero
occurrences of any earlier frozen hash remain anywhere in ci/, tests/ or either
workflow root, and the new one appears exactly once.
Then proven consumed in both directions, which is the assertion that catches a
copy nothing reads: changing the file by one byte moves "got", and changing the
value in plugin.conf moves "expected".

The family froze a new copy of includes/shared-menu.php: 184cebdc, contract
1.1.0. Two changes in it for this plugin, which was still on f4862d5c (1.0.0).
The menu icon is now an infinity sign, painted from admin_head behind a
wpmgr_menu_glyph filter that defaults to it — Kristian asked for it because the
family is called Nolimit. And the file's own header said 1.0.0 while its
constant said 1.1.0, and it counted five plugins where there are six; Nolimit
SEO found both.
Taken today rather than when convenient, and the reason is measured rather than
tidiness: two plugins were on 1.1.0 and three on 1.0.0 at the same time, so a
shop got the glyph or the cog depending on activation order — while every
repository's own hash check was green on its own side. A frozen file is a
family-wide fact, and a green local check says nothing about the shop.
The API change is additive — a new filter and a new function, nothing removed —
so this plugin's use of wpmgr_ensure_menu() and wpmgr_menu_title is unaffected,
and the default glyph means there is nothing to opt into.
The hash now lives once, as WPMGR_MENU_SHA in ci/plugin.conf, checked by
ci/static.sh and required by ci_load_conf so an unset value cannot turn the
comparison into a no-op. It was previously a literal inside tests/smoke.php as
well; two copies of one constant drift, and the copy that drifts is the one
nobody remembers. The runtime assertion that remains proves a different fact —
that the file is loaded at all — because wpmgr_ensure_menu() only exists if it
was.
Proven red by appending one line to the shared file: the check names both
hashes and says not to edit it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The check asked whether "defined( 'ABSPATH' )" appeared anywhere in the file.
A comment containing those words therefore passed it. Measured with a planted
file whose only mention was in a comment:
15 shipped PHP files examined, every one guarded
Green over a file with no guard at all — one that runs for anyone who fetches
it directly, outside WordPress and outside every capability check the code
assumes has already happened. This is the check with the worst consequence of
being hollow, and it was hollow in the one way a grep always can be.
From the cache session by way of security: a check that must RECOGNISE its own
code has one blind spot per recognition method, and one that reads what the
source actually says has none of that kind. PHP's tokeniser cannot be fooled by
a comment, because it is the thing that decides what a comment is.
ci/check-abspath.php parses each shipped file and looks for a real defined()
call on ABSPATH or WP_UNINSTALL_PLUGIN. Comments and doc blocks are tokens of
their own and are simply never examined. The count and the floor stay, for the
reason every check here has them.
Verified through the container path with php hidden from `command -v`, since
static.sh runs on a Gitea runner that has no php: identical output either way.
A 31st self-test assertion plants the same fixture. It is grade 2 evidence — a
planted instance of exactly the failure the check describes, rather than an
arbitrary trigger that only proves the check can go red at all.
Two things that assertion caught about itself on its first run:
The check's success line now says "parsed" where it said "examined", and the
existing assertion on the count was still matching the old word. It went red
rather than quietly matching nothing, which is why the wording is asserted at
all.
And `static.sh | grep -q` reports STATIC.SH's exit status under `set -o
pipefail`, not grep's — and static.sh is expected to fail in that fixture, so
the assertion read "not found" however the check behaved. The mirror image of
the `go test | grep` trap already in the playbook. Output is captured to a
variable first now, with the reason inline.
Swept the kit for text belonging to other plugins while here, after cache found
a comment in its copy describing security's tree: no NLSEC_/NLCAC_ references,
and every path named in ci/ and tests/ either exists here or is WordPress core.

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's menu screenshot showed four plugins under Nolimit and not this one,
after a build that moved the page there had already merged. Two separate
problems behind that.
The version never moved. The rename and the menu change went out still calling
themselves 1.4.6 — the same number as the copy already installed. So two
different builds carried one version, which is the one thing a version number
exists to prevent, and nothing offered the new one as an update. Now 1.5.0.
And the tests could not have caught it if the code HAD been wrong. The only
menu assertion was that this plugin claims the label through
wpmgr_menu_title — which passes while the plugin is absent from the menu
entirely. The label and the membership are different facts, and the screenshot
showed exactly that pair: the menu said Nolimit, this plugin was not in it.
Three assertions now. The parent exists after wpmgr_ensure_menu(), this
plugin's page is among the children of WPMGR_MENU_SLUG, and — separately — the
main file lists includes/shared-menu.php in its is_admin() branch.
That third one is there because the first two are a reduced repro and say so:
the admin menu is only built in an admin request, and these run under WP-CLI
where is_admin() is false and class-admin.php is never included, so the test
has to require the files by hand. A by-hand require would pass even if the
plugin never loaded them in a real request. That is the half a reduced repro
always omits, so it is asserted on its own rather than assumed.
Checked while here, from the security session's report: no human_time_diff
anywhere in this plugin, so the half-translated "4 timer ago" seam does not
exist here. Nothing to fix.

The family shape is source private, releases in a separate public repo so a
shop can fetch an update without credentials and without the source being
readable. This plugin was the only one still serving its own update feed out of
the repository that holds ci/, docs/ and tests/.
kw/nolimit-discounts-dist created (public, zips only). RELEASE_REPO in
ci/plugin.conf now names it, and ci/publish-release.sh honours it over
GITHUB_REPOSITORY — falling back to the running repo, which is what a plugin
without a split still wants.
🔴 The "Update URI:" header moves in the SAME commit as the publishing target,
and ci/static.sh now fails when the two disagree. The header is what every
installed copy polls; if it names a repository nothing is published to any
more, the shop stops being offered updates and nothing announces it, because
latest_release() simply returns false. That is the same failure as a privacy
page standing still while the code moves, and the check is what makes it
impossible to forget.
Proven red before being believed: pointing RELEASE_REPO at another repository
fails with both sides named. RELEASE_REPO is required by ci_load_conf, because
an unset value would turn the comparison into a no-op and restore exactly the
bug it prevents.
Not done here, and it is the blocker for actually cutting a release: publishing
to another repository needs a token with write access to it. The job token only
covers the repo it runs in, so this needs a cross-repo PAT in the repository
secrets, and that is Kristian's to add.
Also not done, deliberately: the source repo stays public for now. Making it
private before the dist repo has releases would break the feed for the copy
installed on the live shop, whose header still points at the old address.
1.4.6 and earlier keep working through Gitea's rename redirect - measured, the
old name still answers 200 - and that redirect is the only thing holding them
up, so it must not be removed until a build carrying the new header has
propagated.

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.

offer_update() returned $update untouched when latest_release() failed. A
plugin that answers neither way is in NEITHER the response nor the no_update
list, and WP_Plugins_List_Table builds the per-plugin "Enable auto-updates"
link from that transient — so the row reads "Auto-updates are not available for
this plugin". That reads as a setting rather than as a failed HTTP request, and
the shop quietly stops being offered fixes with nothing saying so.
Found by the woo-ai-manager session, which installed all five plugins in one
WordPress and dumped the update_plugins transient: this plugin appeared in
neither list.
Measured here before fixing, rather than taken on report. The existing tests
covered the feed answering with a newer version and the feed answering with the
same version — nothing covered the feed not answering at all. Writing that case
first produced:
FAIL an unreachable feed still answers with the installed version
— expected '1.4.6', got NULL
So the bug is real in this tree, and the test is sensitive to it.
The no-release branch now answers with the installed version, which is true and
comparable, so WordPress files it under no_update and the row behaves normally
until the feed answers again.
The icons array is now built once and shared by both branches. It was two
separate literals, and the failure mode of that is precisely the one being
fixed: the branch added later is missing them, and Dashboard -> Updates shows
the grey default plug for as long as the feed stays down. A second assertion
covers it.
Note on the diagnosis offered with the report: the guess was that
latest_release() fails here because Update URI points at the source repo rather
than a dist repo. That does not hold up — the feed resolves and the repo is
anonymously readable, and the update assertions pass against a real response.
The observation is still consistent with this bug, though, because ANY feed
failure produced it. The fix is robust either way, which is why it does not
wait on the dist-repo question.

tests/smoke.php filtered the registered routes by WC_EDM_REST_API::REST_NAMESPACE
and then asserted that the filtered list was non-empty. That agrees with itself
whatever the constant says: rename it and the routes are still "registered",
while every caller already integrated against wc-edm/v1 gets a 404 and nothing
goes red.
Pointed out by the woo-security-manager session, which had the same shape in its
own tree — an assertion that derives its expected value from the thing it tests
is agreeing with itself, and would pass somewhere no plugin had ever been
installed.
wc-edm/v1 is the one string in this plugin that somebody else's code depends on
by name, and it is exactly the kind of thing a rename quietly takes with it. The
namespace is now spelled out in the test.
Proven red before being believed: changing the constant to
'nolimit-discounts/v1' fails the new assertion and names both sides —
"expected 'wc-edm/v1', got 'nolimit-discounts/v1'". Green on unchanged code.
Two nearby assertions checked and deliberately left alone. The DB-version one
compares WC_EDM_VERSION against the option the activation routine wrote, which
is two independent sources rather than one. The update-URI one asserts a
property (non-empty, https) and says so.

assets/icon.svg filled the badge, the envelope fold and the percent sign with
#7f54b3 — WooCommerce's own brand colour. Caught by the odin session during the
trademark review.
The point of taking "Woo" out of the plugin names was to stop implying an
official tie to Automattic. A mark that keeps their purple says visually
exactly what the rename stops saying, and a colour is harder to defend as
coincidence than a name. It is wrong independently of what the family palette
ends up being, so it does not wait for that decision.
#1a7a52 chosen to match the old colour's WEIGHT rather than merely to differ
from it: 5.32:1 on white against the purple's 5.50:1, so the white envelope and
badge keep the contrast the proportions were tuned for at 40px — the size
WordPress renders this at on Dashboard → Updates. Green also reads as savings.
The hex of the colour being avoided is written broken up in the comment
(7f-54-b3). A palette check across the five plugins would otherwise match this
explanation and report the icon as still carrying it — the same self-matching
trap the credential scan hit earlier today, when the rule flagged its own
documentation.
Not included, because it belongs to the rename and that is still Kristian's
decision: the aria-label still reads "WooCommerce Email Discount Manager",
which is the plugin's actual name today.

The Gitea site test has been red since 03b0e13, and the cause was not the disk:
Error response from daemon: network with name wpci-147-net already exists
id was "wpci-$$". A Gitea job runs in a fresh container where the shell gets a
low PID, and those REPEAT across runs — so the name collides with the leftovers
of any earlier run that did not clean up, and every subsequent run landing on
the same PID is wedged permanently. The same script never collides on a laptop,
where PIDs are large and varied, which is why this was invisible outside the
runner.
That also corrects something this repo believed: "the containers are already
safe (wpci-<pid>)" was written about concurrent sessions on one machine, where
it is true. It does not hold across container boundaries, where the PID space
restarts.
Two changes. The name now carries the epoch and $RANDOM, so it is unique per
run even in a container that always starts at the same PID. And because the
name is now unique to this run, anything already using it is debris from a
crashed run and is ours to clear, so the containers and network are removed
before they are created — without that, one wedged name stays wedged forever,
which is what happened here.
Proven both ways: staging a stale wpci-147-net reproduces the exact daemon
error under the old scheme, and the new pre-remove creates cleanly over it.
Two consecutive real site tests then ran green, leaving zero wpci-* networks
and zero wpci-* containers, with no leak warning from the check added in the
previous commit.
Worth recording how that was measured. A global `docker volume ls | wc -l`
around one of those runs showed a delta of 2 — none of it this run's. Several
sessions share this box and run these container pairs concurrently, so a
neighbour's volumes read as your leak. The attributed check inside cleanup(),
which asks the containers what they own, reported nothing and was right.

`mariadb:lts` declares VOLUME /var/lib/mysql, so every run creates an anonymous
volume — and `docker rm -f` does not remove anonymous volumes. Only
`docker rm -f -v` does.
What hid it: cleanup() removed the containers, the network and the NAMED $id-wp
volume correctly. Three of the four things the run creates. Removing three of
four is indistinguishable from removing all four unless you count, which is the
same shape as every other bug found in this kit today.
Found by the subscriptions session, which traced the Gitea runner's disk being
100% full — 26 GB in 95 volumes with 1 in use — and by woo-cache-manager from
the other end, whose push failed with `unable to create temporary object
directory`, three layers away from the cause. Measured here rather than taken
on report: a mariadb:lts container creates exactly one anonymous volume, it
survives `docker rm -f`, and it is removed by `docker rm -f -v`. This machine
was holding 133 volumes, 127 dangling, 15.2 GB reclaimable.
The fix is the -v. The rest is so it cannot come back silently:
cleanup() now asks the containers which volumes they own, via docker inspect,
BEFORE removing them, and checks afterwards that none survive. Attribution
rather than a global before/after count on purpose — several sessions share
this box and run these container pairs concurrently, so a neighbour's volume
would read as this run's leak.
The check is advisory on a run that already failed, and fatal on one that
otherwise passed: site_test_ok is set at the single point the run is known to
have succeeded. And it calls exit rather than return, because `return` from an
EXIT trap does not change the script's exit status — the warning would have
printed while the build went green, which is the failure mode this whole day
has been about.
Verified: the real site test now runs green with a volume delta of zero.

ci/selftest.sh called `php` directly, four times. The Gitea runner image has no
php — which is exactly why ci_php exists and says so in its own comment — so
Static checks has been RED on Gitea since the self-test merged, while GitHub
stayed green throughout. Found only by going to look at the other forge.
Two of the four assertions failed there. The other two passed FOR THE WRONG
REASON, and that is the worse half: they expect a non-zero exit, and
`php: command not found` is a non-zero exit. A green tick for a check that
never ran is the precise thing this script exists to prevent, reproduced inside
it.
Fixed by routing every call through ci_php, and by moving the fixtures inside
the repo copy and staging them: ci_php's container gets its filesystem from
`git ls-files`, so a fixture outside the repo or left unstaged is simply not
there. selftest-empty/ carries a .keep file because git cannot track an empty
directory, and an absent directory would make the check fail for a different
reason than the one being asserted.
Verified through the container path with php hidden from `command -v`, not just
locally where php exists: all four verdicts identical either way, and the
annotated path still resolves to includes/class-db.php.
New 30th assertion: no ci/ script may call an interpreter directly.
Its first version flagged five lines, all false: string literals mentioning
php, and the calls inside the docker scripts in static.sh and site-test.sh,
where php is correct because the container is a php image. Its second still
conflated python3 with PyYAML. The runner HAS python3 and has NO php, and
PyYAML is the only missing module — so bare python3 over the stdlib
(build-zip.sh's zipfile, publish-release.sh's JSON readers) is correct and is
not flagged. Measured, so the rule is not uniform.
Controlled both ways: zero hits on this tree, and all four bare-php lines
caught in the version that broke Gitea.

Both found by the subscriptions session in its copy of this kit, and both
reproduce here. They share the shape everything else in ci/ has had: the
failure is invisible on GitHub, which is where anyone would be looking.
1. ci/workflows-in-sync.sh never parsed the workflow files on Gitea, and
printed "Workflows: in sync." anyway. It skipped with a note when PyYAML was
missing — and PyYAML is missing in exactly one place. Measured here rather
than taken on report: `import yaml` on gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest
raises ModuleNotFoundError. So the check was switched off on the single
forge where an unparseable workflow produces no run at all, no failed run
and no error to click on, which looks exactly like a runner that has not
picked the job up.
ci_python_yaml in ci/lib.sh now falls back to a container the way ci_php
already did — alpine + py3-yaml, no network install, one apk call. There is
no skip path left: workflows that cannot be parsed are a failure, not a
note. Both routes verified to give byte-identical output.
2. compat.yml ran its five-cell matrix on Gitea for every PR touching ci/ or
tests/. The `schedule` was gated to GitHub for exactly this reason and
`pull_request` was forgotten. The subscriptions repo measured six jobs dying
together with exit code 137 — SIGKILL, runner out of memory, two seconds in,
without one error message in the log. Latent here only because this repo
merges through GitHub and never opens a Gitea PR; one Gitea PR touching ci/
would have found it.
New ci/check-workflows.py enforces both, called through ci_python_yaml. It
parses every workflow and fails when a Gitea job with more than one matrix cell
is not gated, and it is fatal when it parsed no file at all.
🔴 Its first version asked whether the `if:` CONTAINED the server_url test, and
passed the very condition it exists to catch: `!= 'schedule' || server_url ==
...` contains the gate while letting pull_request through. Substring matching is
adjacent to the signal rather than the signal. It now compares the whole
normalised condition against an allowlist, and was checked both ways in one run
— red against the unfixed compat.yml naming the job and the cell count, green
after.
Three self-test assertions added, 29 total: an unparseable workflow fails, an
ungated multi-cell matrix fails, and parsing zero files fails.
Two notes from building it, both the same trap this kit keeps setting. The
container path could not find check-workflows.py because ci_in_container tars
`git ls-files` and the file was untracked. And the ungated-matrix fixture used
| as a sed delimiter while the gate itself contains ||, so sed silently changed
nothing; the assertion reported "could not stage the fixture" instead of
passing, which is the only reason it was noticed.

CI caught this on the previous commit's first push: the credential scan flagged
ci/selftest.sh itself, twice. The file is tracked, the scan reads every tracked
file, and the fixtures were credential-shaped literals sitting in it.
It passed locally because I ran ci/static.sh before `git add`, so selftest.sh
was still UNTRACKED and therefore invisible to a scan reading git ls-files.
That trap is documented four lines into the same file, about the fixtures it
plants. Knowing it and applying it to your own validation are two different
things, and the second is the one that counts.
Fixed by assembling every fixture value from pieces, which is stronger than any
exemption:
- A filename exemption would switch the scan off in ci/ and tests/, which is
exactly where a key gets pasted to test it. A sibling plugin reached the
same conclusion from the other side when its redactor fixture went red.
- A placeholder marker in the value would stop the fixture triggering the
check it exists to trigger.
- Split literals leave the WRITTEN file fully credential-shaped while the
SOURCE contains no matching string at all, so nothing needs excusing.
Verified both directions: the source no longer matches any pattern in the scan,
and each assembled value still does. static.sh green on the real tree with
selftest.sh tracked (45 files read, up from 44), self-test 26/26.
The pipeline worked as designed — static.sh runs before selftest.sh in the
static job, so the real tree was checked first and the failure named the file
and both rules. Nothing about this needed a human to notice.
