## Description

AudiScale Connector is the companion component for the hosted AudiScale service (
https://audiscale.com). It unlocks the SEO actions that WordPress core and the standard
REST API do not allow — most notably printing a `<meta name="description">` tag 
in the `<head>` without forcing you to install another SEO plugin.

#### Service disclosure (SaaS)

This plugin communicates with the third-party AudiScale service. **No data is
 sent
until you have explicitly paired
 your site from your AudiScale dashboard.
 Once
paired, AudiScale can remotely apply a fixed catalog of operations (listed below),
each of which is:

 * signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a per-site secret (rotatable and revocable);
 * subject to a WordPress capability check (`manage_options`);
 * logged (who, what, when, before/after value);
 * reversible where possible (draft/revision, dry-run).

The plugin **never executes arbitrary code**: there is no code-evaluation
 endpoint
and no remote code download. “Almost everything” means an enumerated, hand-coded,
audited catalog.

 * Terms of service: https://audiscale.com/en/terms
 * Privacy policy: https://audiscale.com/en/privacy

#### Operation catalog

 * SEO / `<head>`: meta description, SEO title, canonical, robots, Open Graph, Twitter
   cards
 * Redirects: create / update / delete (301, 302, 410)
 * Structured data: per-content JSON-LD
 * Content & media: field updates (via revision), draft creation, alternative text
 * Site (read-only): robots.txt, public settings, content inventory
 * Connector: status, pairing, audit log

The plugin detects Yoast, Rank Math and SEOPress and **stands down**
 automatically
if one of them already manages the `<head>`, to avoid duplicate tags.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin (from wordpress.org or by uploading the ZIP).
 2. From your AudiScale dashboard, start pairing: AudiScale calls `POST /wp-json/audiscale/
    v1/pair` with a secret generated on the AudiScale side.
 3. That’s it — subsequent operations are signed with that secret.

To revoke access at any time: “Settings  AudiScale  Disconnect”, or disconnect
 
the site from AudiScale.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin send data without my consent?

No. No communication happens until the site is paired, and pairing requires an
 
administrator (`manage_options`).

### What happens if I already have an SEO plugin?

AudiScale Connector detects Yoast / Rank Math / SEOPress and prints nothing in
 
the `<head>` to avoid duplicates.

### How do I revoke access?

Unpairing erases the pairing secret: the command channel becomes inert
 immediately.

## Changelog

#### 5.1.1

 * First public WordPress.org release: English readme and service disclosure,
    packaging
   hygiene, and internationalization (text domain loading).
 * `plugins.update` now keeps the target plugin active after upgrading it (the
    
   WordPress upgrader deactivates during the file swap and does not restore it on
   a programmatic call).

#### 5.0.0

 * Actionable `security.*` operation family: hardenings applied at the PHP
    runtime,
   without touching wp-config and always reversible in a single call (file editor,
   REST user enumeration, XML-RPC + pingbacks, HTTP headers HSTS/nosniff/X-Frame-
   Options/Referrer-Policy, minor core auto-updates, version masking, `?author=N`
   scan blocking).
 * Each op accepts `dryRun` (simulation without writing) and logs the before/after
   
   value for an undo via the inverse op. `security.state.get` exposes the current
   state. Disconnecting (`unpair`) resets all hardenings.
 * `hsts` is set only if HTTPS is actually enforced (anti-lockout guard).

#### 4.0.0

 * New `security.audit` operation (read-only, `manage_options` capability):
    free
   hardening snapshot (versions, configuration flags, admin accounts, core integrity
   via wordpress.org checksums). No secret is returned.

#### 3.0.0

 * New plugin-management operations: `plugins.list` (read, `activate_plugins`
    capability)
   and `plugins.update` (live, irreversible update, `update_plugins` capability).

#### 2.0.0

 * `content.update_fields` op: URL targeting + `fields` object
    (title/excerpt/content),
   respecting `publishMode`.
 * The body is written faithfully (no destructive filtering on our side,
    Gutenberg
   block delimiters preserved); `filtered` flag if the user lacks the unfiltered_html
   capability.
 * `draft` mode for content: the proposal is queued and approved from the
    “AudiScale
   pending” screen.

#### 1.1.0

 * `draft` mode: proposed values are stored “pending” without changing the live
   
   render.
 * Approval surface: “Pending AudiScale change” metabox on the edit screen + a
    
   central screen (Settings  AudiScale pending) to approve/reject (nonce + capability).
 * `promote` operation to approve a field from AudiScale (consent equivalent to
   
   direct).

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial version: SEO `<head>` output, redirects, structured data, HMAC-signed
   
   operation catalog, audit log.
