Summary

Adds a native feedback reporter, replacing the snippet-based prototype. A checkbox on Settings → Advanced, off by default, enables a launcher on Code Snippets admin screens. The panel collects a bug report, feature request or general feedback, captures the site environment server-side, and forwards it to the Code Snippets Cloud reporting API over a signed per-site connection.

The reporter is visible only to users with the plugin capability, and the REST routes are registered only while the setting is enabled.

Changes

PHP

  • Model/Feedback_Connection — reporting endpoint, programme key, credential storage and HMAC signing. Documents the trust model.
  • Client/Feedback_Client — enrolment, report submission and duplicate search, with single-shot recovery from clock skew and rejected credentials.
  • Utils/System_Info — environment capture and the summary disclosed before sending.
  • REST_API/Feedback/Feedback_REST_Controllercode-snippets/v1/feedback and /feedback/search, with validation, sanitisation and a per-user throttle.
  • Admin/Feedback_Panel and Admin/Feedback_Error_Capture — screen gating, asset enqueue and pre-mount JavaScript error capture.
  • Settings_Fields and Settings_Layout — the new general.enable_feedback_reporter field, drawn under Advanced.

Frontend

  • components/FeedbackReporter/* — launcher, drawer, form, duplicate list, disclosure and confirmation, built on @wordpress/components.
  • hooks/useFeedbackReport and hooks/useDuplicateReports.
  • css/feedback.scss — logical properties throughout, using the existing theme tokens.
  • New feedback and feedback-capture webpack entries.

Also included

  • scripts/install-wp-tests.sh and scripts/test-setup-phpunit.ts — the PHPUnit setup failed on a checkout path containing spaces, and rejected the default empty database password.
  • config/playwright/playwright.config.tsbaseURL reads WP_E2E_BASE_URL, defaulting to the current value.

Cross-edition

Edition detection reads the CODE_SNIPPETS_PRO constant defined in both editions. The settings changes are appends to existing arrays. No edition-specific class is referenced.

Verification

  • npm run test:php — 321 tests, 744 assertions, 0 failures. 54 new tests cover signing, credential validation, both retry paths, every validation rule, the throttle, cloud error pass-through, screen gating and the settings field.
  • npm run test:playwright — full chromium-db-snippets project passes, including 8 new feedback specs.
  • npm run lint — PHP, JS and styles clean.
  • npm run build — succeeds; no build artefacts committed.

The drawer layout, the slide-in transition, the duplicate-search route and the endpoint resolution were each verified against a running site.

Test environment and installer robustness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test environment and installer robustness
config/playwright/playwright.config.ts, scripts/install-wp-tests.sh, scripts/test-setup-phpunit.ts
Made the Playwright base URL configurable, quoted installer paths and URLs, and skipped database-password format validation for empty passwords.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to afc6a

The reporter can send undisclosed environment details, fail duplicate detection, make unauthenticated report requests, and retain feedback data after uninstall. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Full details: Correctness And Security

Explanation

The feedback duplicate search double-encodes titles that contain spaces or reserved characters. In src/php/Client/Feedback_Client.php:174, rawurlencode($query) passes syntax%20highlighting to WordPress add_query_arg(). WordPress URL-encodes the value again, so the request contains q=syntax%2520highlighting. The reporting service receives the literal text syntax%20highlighting and can return no matching reports.

Resolution

Pass the raw query to add_query_arg() at src/php/Client/Feedback_Client.php:174. Add a unit test for a title such as syntax highlighting and assert that the outgoing URL contains one encoded value, q=syntax%20highlighting, not q=syntax%2520highlighting.

Full details: Ponytail: No Over-Engineering

Explanation

The change adds needless complexity in src/php/Model/Feedback_Connection.php:27. Feedback_Connection extends Basic_Cloud_Connection, but the feedback code uses the concrete class and none of its inherited cloud methods. The inheritance also runs an unused parent constructor. The same file at lines 64-72 contains a dead environment fallback because the private programme-key constant is always non-empty.

Full details: Pr Hygiene

Explanation

The PR title is a short conventional-commit summary, and the description is present and factual. The PR body has an AI-attribution trailer at line 43. The commits do not add an attribution trailer. No private value is confirmed in the changed code because the reporting key is explicitly documented as public.

Full details: Scope Discipline

Explanation

The PR mixes the feedback reporter feature with unrelated test infrastructure maintenance. The feedback implementation is cohesive across src/php, src/js, src/css, and related tests. The empty database password change in scripts/test-setup-phpunit.ts:43-52 is a generic PHPUnit setup fix. The path quoting changes in scripts/install-wp-tests.sh:15-18 and scripts/install-wp-tests.sh:45-105 are generic installer fixes. The WP_E2E_BASE_URL change in config/playwright/playwright.config.ts:43-45 is generic Playwright environment configuration. These changes do not implement the feedback reporter.

Resolution

Split the work into focused PRs. Keep the feedback reporter code, its Webpack entries, and its feature tests together. Move the PHPUnit password fix and WordPress installer quoting fix into a test setup maintenance PR. Move the generic Playwright base URL override into a test infrastructure PR unless a separate feedback-specific requirement proves it is necessary.

Inline comments:
In `@config/playwright/playwright.config.ts`:
- Line 45: Update the baseURL configuration to treat an empty WP_E2E_BASE_URL as
unset, falling back to http://localhost:8888; preserve non-empty environment
values.

In `@scripts/install-wp-tests.sh`:
- Around line 101-102: Update both sed replacements in the install script to
validate WP_CORE_DIR before use and escape its backslashes and ampersands before
constructing the replacement text, so paths containing either character are
written literally to wp-tests-config.php.

In `@src/js/components/FeedbackReporter/FeedbackReporter.tsx`:
- Around line 28-31: Move WithRestAPIContext outside the isOpen conditional in
FeedbackReporter so it remains mounted for the component lifetime, and
conditionally render only FeedbackPanel based on isOpen. Preserve the existing
config and onClose behavior while preventing repeated provider mounts from
accumulating heartbeat callbacks.

In `@src/js/entries/feedback-capture.ts`:
- Around line 11-13: Update the window error listener in feedback-capture.ts to
record events only when they are ErrorEvent instances, ignoring generic
resource-load Events so invalid Error — unknown:undefined entries cannot consume
the capture limit.

In `@src/js/hooks/useDuplicateReports.ts`:
- Around line 31-32: Update the duplicate-search effect in useDuplicateReports
so responses and errors from obsolete requests cannot call setDuplicates after
the title changes; mark the effect inactive during cleanup or cancel the request
before state updates. Add a regression test resolving two searches in reverse
order and verify the latest title’s results remain.

In `@src/js/utils/restAPI.ts`:
- Line 120: Refactor the exported addQueryArg function to accept a single typed
parameter object instead of positional url, name, and value arguments, defining
and exporting the parameter type alongside it. Update the caller in
useDuplicateReports to pass the corresponding named properties while preserving
existing behavior.

In `@src/php/Admin/Feedback_Panel.php`:
- Line 35: Update uninstall_current_site() in Uninstaller to delete both the
feedback summary transient and feedback credentials during complete uninstall,
using the existing SUMMARY_TRANSIENT symbol and the corresponding credentials
key; retain the existing code_snippets_settings deletion.

In `@src/php/Client/Feedback_Client.php`:
- Line 174: Remove the manual rawurlencode call from the query value passed to
add_query_arg in the search URL construction, and pass the raw query string so
add_query_arg performs encoding exactly once.
- Around line 220-238: Update the request flow around ensure_credentials and the
wp_remote_get/wp_remote_post calls to return a WP_Error immediately when no
valid per-site credentials are available, before constructing or sending the
unsigned request. Preserve the existing authenticated GET and POST behavior and
let the REST controller handle the returned transport error.

In `@src/php/Model/Feedback_Connection.php`:
- Line 72: Prefix every listed WordPress global call with a leading backslash in
the namespaced classes: update apply_filters, untrailingslashit, get_option,
update_option, delete_option, site_url, and wp_parse_url in
src/php/Model/Feedback_Connection.php lines 72-72; wp_remote_post,
wp_remote_get, wp_remote_retrieve_response_code, wp_remote_retrieve_body,
wp_json_encode, site_url, is_wp_error, add_query_arg, get_transient,
set_transient, and delete_transient in src/php/Client/Feedback_Client.php lines
77-90; and wp_get_theme, is_multisite, get_locale, sanitize_text_field,
wp_unslash, site_url, apply_filters, get_plugins, is_plugin_active,
is_plugin_active_for_network, __, and _n in src/php/Utils/System_Info.php lines
27-28.
- Around line 68-69: Remove the unreachable getenv fallback around the key
initialization in the relevant Feedback_Connection logic, preserving the
non-empty PROGRAMME_KEY constant and the existing code_snippets_feedback_key
filter as the only replacement mechanism.

In `@src/php/REST_API/Feedback/Feedback_REST_Controller.php`:
- Around line 217-233: Update the validation logic in the
Feedback_REST_Controller request handler to count UTF-8 characters rather than
bytes by applying preg_match_all('/./us', ...) to each sanitized value. Use this
character count consistently for title, description, steps, and q, preserving
the existing validation thresholds except where they must match the browser
limits, including search q’s limit of 6.

In `@src/php/Settings/Settings_Fields.php`:
- Around line 239-244: Update uninstall_current_site() to delete
Feedback_Connection::CREDENTIALS_OPTION, Feedback_Panel::SUMMARY_TRANSIENT, and
Feedback_Client::REGISTRATION_FAILURE_TRANSIENT during complete site uninstall,
alongside the existing settings cleanup.

In `@src/php/Utils/System_Info.php`:
- Around line 74-82: Update the system report disclosure in the class comment
and its implementation so they match: either add every transmitted
get_system_info() field—including server_software, locale, debug and memory
settings, max_execution_time, and plugin names—to the displayed summary, or
remove undisclosed fields from the reported data. Keep the settings description
consistent with the chosen disclosure and ensure the class comment no longer
claims unreported values are not sent.

In `@tests/e2e/feedback-reporter.spec.ts`:
- Around line 66-69: The bounding-box setup for header, subtitle, and footer
currently masks missing or hidden locators with zero values. Remove the zero
fallbacks, assert each bounding box is non-null, and narrow the resulting values
before coordinate access so the layout checks fail when a required box is
unavailable; leave the viewport fallback unchanged.

In `@tests/unit/Admin/Feedback_Panel_Test.php`:
- Around line 186-187: Add a test around Feedback_Panel::enqueue_assets() that
configures plain permalinks, captures the localized script data, and asserts
searchUrl targets the /search route. Preserve the existing enqueue_assets
coverage and use the test’s established localization/assertion helpers.

In `@tests/unit/REST_API/Feedback_REST_Controller_Test.php`:
- Around line 275-289: Extend
test_a_valid_report_is_forwarded_with_the_environment_attached to submit an
environment.php_version value of 0.0.0 in the request and continue asserting the
forwarded payload contains PHP_VERSION. Update
Feedback_REST_Controller::build_payload() to ignore the route-provided
environment and populate environment data from System_Info::get_system_info().
