Steve Hanlon 631385721f Next healthcheck due date, plus a test suite (hc-nkq)
Lets a technician record when a site should next be looked at, and surfaces
that in the dashboard so it can be used for planning.

Server:
- migration 0002 adds healthchecks.next_due, a VARCHAR(10) 'YYYY-MM-DD'
  calendar date rather than a timestamp — it's a diary date with no
  time-of-day, and a timestamp would render as the wrong day off-server.
- Kept per-session rather than on a sites table, so the history of what was
  scheduled when is preserved. A site's current next-due is the value on its
  most recent session: if the latest visit scheduled nothing, the site reads
  as unscheduled rather than showing the just-completed visit as overdue.
- Validate::optionalDate() round-trips through createFromFormat, which
  rejects both '2026-2-3' and '2026-02-30' (silently rolled to March 2nd).
- next_due follows the same missing-vs-null PUT contract as finished_at, and
  lives in its own Store::setNextDue() so finishing or reopening a session
  never disturbs the date and vice versa.
- Dashboard shows it on the site list, the per-site session table and the
  session detail, flagged overdue / today / soon (within a fortnight).

Plugin:
- Date control on both the active and finished panels — the moment you know
  when to return is often wrap-up, after the report is generated.
- Write-through like every other mutation. Bad input is rejected with a
  notice rather than silently clearing an existing date.
- Included in both the Markdown and HTML reports.

Tests (new — tests/, export-ignored from the plugin zip):
- Hand-rolled harness, no composer/PHPUnit, in keeping with the repo.
- 42 tests: plugin-side date parsing units, plus server integration tests
  driven over real HTTP against a temp `php -S` instance with a throwaway
  SQLite DB, so a real server/config.php is never touched.
- Mutation-checked: dropping the array_key_exists guard on PUT fails three
  tests, as intended.

# Site Healthcheck
Internal WordPress plugin that walks a technician through a structured healthcheck. Companion to [`wp-site-recovery`](../wp-site-recovery/), which it expects to be installed as step 0.
## Install
```sh
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. Set **Next healthcheck due** to when the site should be looked at again. It's
stored centrally and shows against the site on the dashboard, flagged when it's
within a fortnight or overdue. Settable before or after finishing; leave it
empty (or clear it) if nothing is scheduled.
6. Click **Finish & generate report**.
7. 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
<?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`). Installed sites auto-update from Gitea via [Plugin Update Checker](https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker) (vendored under `vendor/plugin-update-checker/`). PUC polls `updates.json` on the repo's main branch twice a day; new versions appear in *Dashboard → Updates*.
### Releasing a new version
1. Bump `Version:` in the `att-site-healthcheck.php` header **and** `ATT_HC_VERSION`.
2. Bump `version` and `last_updated` in `updates.json`.
3. Commit + push to `main`.
Installed sites pick it up on their next update check (or immediately if an admin clicks *Check again* on the Updates screen). The `download_url` points at `archive/main.zip`, so whatever's on `main` at fetch time is what gets installed.
### Updating PUC itself
PUC is a vendored copy, not a submodule (so Gitea's `archive/main.zip` includes it). To update:
```sh
cd /tmp && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker.git puc-new
rm -rf vendor/plugin-update-checker
cp -R /tmp/puc-new vendor/plugin-update-checker
rm -rf vendor/plugin-update-checker/{.git,.github,build,vendor,examples,composer.json,phpcs.xml}
```
## Tracking
```sh
cd ~/dev/wp-healthcheck
bd list --label phase-1 # MVP work
bd list --label phase-3 # automation backlog
```
