An AI feature that works for three turns and then dies with a context length exceeded error has a design flaw. The transcript was never a database. Here’s where the run log belongs and how to keep prompt caching working.
Generic tutorials lost most of their traffic once answers moved into the IDE, but version-bound WordPress notes still find readers. This is the audit I run on my own queue, what I stopped writing, and the one check I do before publishing anything tied to a release.
A customer asks you to delete their data, the erasure report says zero items, and your chat plugin still has every conversation stored. ERC research wants exactly those cross-session profiles, and WordPress privacy tools only see what you register.
WooCommerce 10.9 adds seven canonical product and order abilities and starts retiring the REST-shaped MCP beta. Most stores can wait. If you call /wp-json/woocommerce/mcp you have a migration to plan, and extension authors have two traps to watch for.
WordPress.com now shows Bluesky, Mastodon, and Fediverse timelines in the Reader, next to the blogs you follow. Here’s how that compares with running ActivityPub and Friends on your own install, and where a WooCommerce store should opt out.
WordPress 7.0 broke custom action buttons in the classic editor’s publish panel. Classic Editor 1.7.0 or Hotfix 1.4 covers it until 7.0.1 ships the real repair. I compared the two and wrote down the check I run before picking one.
Advice on agent costs splits between free-roaming agents and tightly scripted ones. Exploring once and replaying the path makes sense, but in WordPress that replay is a cache, and the part that bites is invalidation.
WordPress turned 23, and 46% of installs were on 7.0 within seven days. If you maintain sites, keep minors automatic, make majors a deliberate call, and don’t read a quiet inbox as proof an update went fine.
If the same checks fail on most of the client sites you look after, the fix belongs in your baseline. I lay monthly maintenance out as a grid of sites and pass/fail checks with WP-CLI, and a red column shows where the real problem lives.
The WordCamp Asia committer notes are mostly process talk, but the SQLite paragraph reaches plugin authors first. What the notes settled, which schema habits break under SQLite, and what I’d test before core writes its support policy.
