## Description

Web Plura Diagnostics is a free admin-only plugin that helps site owners understand:

 * What is the problem?
 * Why it matters
 * Business impact
 * What may be causing it
 * Who can fix it
 * What to fix first

What it includes:

 * Overall advisor score and module scores
 * Universal check format with problem, impact, causes, actions, ownership, and 
   urgency
 * Why This Matters and Business Impact sections for warning/critical findings
 * Priority queue (`Fix First`, `Fix Soon`, `Optional Improvements`)
 * Dashboard action center (`Recommended Actions`)
 * WordPress Site Health-style grouped advisor view for critical issues, recommended
   improvements, checks needing review, and passed tests
 * Beginner vs Advanced Explain Mode (stored in WordPress option)
 * Beginner-friendly `What is this?` explanations
 * Hosting Quality Advisor with score, strengths, weaknesses, improvements, and 
   copyable host-support message
 * Update Safety Advisor (`Safe To Update`, `Backup Recommended Before Updating`,`
   High Impact Updates`)
 * Recovery Readiness indicator score
 * Lightweight historical change tracking (`Recently Changed`)
 * Settings page for retention policy, visible history count, and scheduled diagnostics
   scan interval
 * Downloadable diagnostics exports (JSON and CSV)
 * Optional scheduled diagnostics scans via WP-Cron
 * WP-CLI command support for scan/export/cleanup workflows
 * Multisite network dashboard surface for cross-site scan visibility
 * Site health, email, performance, plugin impact, hosting, and update-risk modules
 * Expanded local server checks for database version, PHP limits, timezone, URL 
   alignment, cache signals, and key file permissions
 * Plugin/theme diagnostics for inactive plugins, theme update backlog, commerce
   plugins, builders, and cache plugins
 * Passive manual email test readiness check based on the last admin-triggered test
   email result
 * Lead Capture Health module for local form plugin, contact page, SMTP, privacy,
   and form-plugin update signals
 * WordPress privacy tooling compatibility for test-email metadata

Principles:

 * No cloud requirement
 * No tracking
 * No aggressive popups
 * No frontend impact
 * Admin-only behavior

The admin dashboard includes a non-blocking WPlura Cloud benefits notice for automated
monitoring and alerts. Free local checks remain available without cloud connection
or a paid plan.

Admin menu counters may show locally cached actionable findings or jobs. Counters
are local-only and do not trigger scans, cloud calls, tracking, or paid gating during
menu rendering.

Automatic update checks use WordPress.org by default for public packages. Direct/
private WPlura builds may use signed WPlura release manifests; those checks send
only the plugin slug, current version, and release channel.

### External Services

This plugin does not require external services for core functionality.

The manual test email feature uses WordPress mail transport (`wp_mail`) configured
by your environment.

### Privacy

Web Plura Diagnostics stores local diagnostic cache, explain-mode preference, and
local action metadata in WordPress options/transients.

No user tracking or telemetry is sent by default.

## Changelog

#### 0.2.6

 * Improved Diagnostics check presentation so healthy results, findings, review-
   needed items, and active problems use clearer status-aware labels.
 * Refined Lead Capture Health update-status copy so current form plugins are presented
   as a professional maintenance result, not as a problem.
 * Added contextual WordPress Help Tabs and shared WPlura admin wrapper support 
   across Diagnostics admin and network views.
 * Added native WordPress heading and header-divider markup to Diagnostics admin
   views, including the network dashboard.
 * Added WordPress-native postbox foundations to dashboard, settings, export, hosting,
   updates, and Lead Capture Health panels while preserving existing Diagnostics
   styling and local-only behavior.

#### 0.2.5

 * Updated the Site Health Advisor page with a WordPress-native grouped presentation
   for critical issues, recommended improvements, checks needing review, and passed
   tests.
 * Added accessible expandable check details so admins can scan the summary first
   and open only the problem, impact, and action guidance they need.
 * Kept the Diagnostics Health Advisor local-only with no cloud sync, tracking, 
   paid gating, or scan work during page rendering.
 * Hardened the WordPress.org-ready package so public builds rely on native WordPress.
   org updates and helper acceleration uses the configured local socket path only.

#### 0.2.4

 * Added local core/server diagnostics for database version, upload/post limits,
   max execution time, key file permissions, URL alignment, timezone, object cache,
   and page cache signals.
 * Added passive manual email test readiness reporting based on the last admin-triggered
   test email result; diagnostics scans do not send email automatically.
 * Added plugin/theme diagnostics for inactive plugin inventory, theme update backlog,
   commerce plugin detection, major builder detection, and cache plugin detection.
 * Refreshed diagnostics result cache version so expanded local checks appear after
   upgrade.

#### 0.2.3

 * Added local-only Lead Capture Health diagnostics for form plugin detection, likely
   contact/lead pages, SMTP readiness, privacy policy setup, and form plugin update
   signals.
 * Added a Lead Capture Health admin page and dashboard module score card.
 * Added a basic local lead capture risk score without submitting forms, collecting
   leads, calling cloud APIs, or sending telemetry.
 * Refreshed diagnostics result cache version so the new module appears after upgrade.

#### 0.2.2

 * Simplified dashboard microcopy and action labels for faster operator understanding(`
   Run Scan`, `Save View`).
 * Added a recommendation-driven “What To Do Next” priority callout on the main 
   diagnostics surface.
 * Improved dashboard presentation hierarchy with a critical-issues-first summary
   panel and cleaner module cards.
 * Refined table readability with improved spacing, sticky headers, and zebra row
   scanning.
 * Added AJAX-based report export downloads (JSON/CSV) for smoother in-page workflow,
   while preserving secure nonce/cookie admin-post handling.
 * Restored Web Plura Diagnostics admin colors to WordPress-default-oriented behavior
   and removed plugin-forced dark-mode palette overrides.
 * Kept plugin styles scoped to `.web-plura-diagnostics-wrap` so WordPress admin/
   global color scheme behavior remains primary.
 * Added forced-colors compatibility handling while preserving `prefers-reduced-
   motion` behavior.
 * Improved network dashboard status labels and number rendering for translation
   and locale safety.
 * Added subtle, scoped admin CSS animations across cards, notices, tables, buttons,
   and score counters for clearer UI feedback.
 * Added `prefers-reduced-motion` safeguards so motion is automatically reduced 
   for users who prefer minimal animation.
 * Added Settings API-based admin settings page for retention, history visibility,
   and scheduled scan control.
 * Added scheduled diagnostics scan cron workflow with configurable interval.
 * Added diagnostics export actions (JSON and CSV) from WP admin.
 * Added multisite network dashboard for site-level diagnostics status visibility.
 * Added WP-CLI command surface: `wp web-plura-diagnostics scan`, `wp web-plura-
   diagnostics export`, `wp web-plura-diagnostics cleanup`.
 * Added richer test-email failure details capture from `wp_mail_failed` for troubleshooting.

#### 0.2.1

 * Replaced guidance-only email DNS checks with real local SPF/DKIM/DMARC DNS verification
   attempts.
 * Replaced legacy plugin abandonment guidance with local plugin maintenance backlog
   signals.
 * Expanded compatibility baseline to broader supported WordPress and PHP versions.

#### 0.2.0

   urgency).
 * Added Why This Matters and Business Impact sections for warning/critical findings.
 * Added priority queues and action center recommendations.
 * Added Explain Mode (Beginner/Advanced) persisted in WordPress options.
 * Added hosting advisor score/strengths/weaknesses/recommendations and copyable
   provider message.
 * Added update safety categories and recovery readiness score.
 * Added lightweight historical diagnostics change tracking.
 * Added dark-mode-aware admin styling via `prefers-color-scheme`.

#### 0.1.0
