## Description

NovaCraft API Builder for WordPress turns your WooCommerce store into a fully-featured
headless commerce backend. It exposes a clean, versioned REST API under `/wp-json/
novacraft/v1/` with:

 * **JWT Authentication** — Issue access tokens (15 min TTL) and refresh tokens (
   30 days), with automatic rotation and revocation.
 * **API Key Management** — Create `nc_live_*` and `nc_test_*` keys with granular
   permissions, IP allowlists, rate-limit overrides, and expiry dates.
 * **Product Endpoints** — List, filter, sort, paginate, and retrieve products, 
   variations, and reviews.
 * **Category Endpoints** — Browse the WooCommerce category tree.
 * **Order Endpoints** — Authenticated customers can view their order history and
   add order notes.
 * **Customer Endpoints** — Manage profile, addresses, and order history.
 * **Cart Endpoints** — Full headless cart: add/update/remove items, apply coupons,
   calculate shipping, and check out.
 * **Caching** — Object-cache and transient fallback, ETag headers, tag-based invalidation.
 * **Rate Limiting** — Sliding-window limiter with Redis or transient fallback. 
   Account lockout after 5 failed logins.
 * **React Admin UI** — Dashboard, API Key manager, API Explorer, request logs, 
   and settings page.
 * **Extensibility** — 6 filters and 6 actions so Pro / Enterprise add-ons can hook
   in without touching Core.
