Steve Hanlon 1a9e5ac0fd Plugin: handover step + auto-seed prior notes into next session (hc-dy9)
Add a final "Notes for next time" step so the tech finishing today can flag
pending issues, watch-fors, and outstanding client decisions for whoever
picks up the next healthcheck on the same site.

On ATT_HC_Session::start() for a given site_key, the server's step history
for the handover step is queried (limit 1, excluding the just-created
session). If a prior session left handover notes, they're written into
the new session's "Before You Start" notes prefixed with the prior
session's date ("From previous session (YYYY-MM-DD):") so the carry-over
is obvious. The tech can edit/clear them as normal step notes from there.

- includes/steps/125-handover.php — new step (id=handover) using the
  standard notes field. No server schema or API change; it's just another
  step row in step_updates, surfaced like any other.
- ATT_HC_Session::seed_before_notes_from_prior_handover() — best-effort,
  silent degrade on API failure. The session is already registered on
  the server before this runs, so a failed seed never blocks start.
- No seed on resume() — resuming an existing session would clobber
  whatever the tech had already typed.

Verified end-to-end against the live MySQL server: handover-test-XXXX
flow shows carry-over with date prefix; no-handover-XXXX flow confirms
no false-positive seed for a fresh site_key. Test rows purged.

Site Healthcheck

Internal WordPress plugin that walks a technician through a structured healthcheck. Companion to wp-site-recovery, which it expects to be installed as step 0.

Install

ln -s ~/dev/wp-healthcheck /path/to/wp/wp-content/plugins/att-site-healthcheck

Then activate from Plugins. Settings appear under Tools → Site Healthcheck.

Use

  1. Open Tools → Site Healthcheck.
  2. Confirm the recovery plugin status panel shows ✓ active.
  3. Click Start new healthcheck.
  4. Work through each step card. For each: choose a status (done / skipped / blocked / n/a) and add notes.
  5. Click Finish & generate report.
  6. Download the Markdown report or copy it to clipboard.

One in-progress session per site at a time. Reports are not stored in the database (the plugin is meant to be uninstalled at the end of each engagement) — download them.

Adding, removing, reordering steps

Each step is a single file under includes/steps/ named <order>-<slug>.php.

<?php
// includes/steps/45-staging.php
return new class extends ATT_HC_Step {
    public function id(): string { return 'staging'; }
    public function title(): string { return 'Step 4.5 — Verify Staging Sync'; }
    public function sub_items(): array {
        return ['Re-deploy from production', 'Run smoke tests'];
    }
};
  • Add: drop a new file.
  • Remove: delete the file.
  • Reorder: rename the numeric prefix (steps are loaded in natsort order).
  • Conditionally drop on one install: use the att_hc_steps filter to unset the step by id.

Stable string IDs (returned by id()) are what's stored in session data, so renaming a file does not break in-progress sessions as long as the id stays the same.

Phase roadmap

Phase 1 (this) is a checklist + Markdown report. Phase 3 will add per-step automation — backup detection, env auto-collect, plugin update intelligence, PageSpeed Insights, SSL checks, etc. See beads epic hc-5ix for the full plan.

Distribution

Internal/agency tool — not a WP.org plugin (decision hc-5ix.26). Distributed as a built ZIP. A self-hosted update channel is hc-5ix.27 on the phase-3 backlog.
