Every release,
every story.

SmartCrawl Pro (WPMU DEV) SEO support

• add SmartCrawl Pro (WPMU DEV) SEO support. Respira now detects SmartCrawl and writes and reads its native _wds_* post and term meta — title, meta description, focus keyword, canonical, and the split index/follow robots flags
• fix Elementor v4 atomic styles applied through an explicit styles:{} block were generated but never worn by the element. The flat-CSS write path already linked the minted style id into the element's class list; the styles-bl
• fix Elementor global colours: the kit's system colours (primary, secondary, text, accent) could not be changed. update_elementor_global_colors only ever wrote custom_colors, so passing a system _id appended a duplicate custo
• fix Divi 5: a blurb's image was written to a group the renderer ignores, so it never appeared. Divi 5 reads the blurb image from imageIcon.innerContent.desktop.value.src and shows it only when useIcon is off; Respira wrote s
• fix Divi 5: the bar counter targeted a module slug Divi 5 does not register. The number/percent → barProgress routing was keyed on divi/bar-counter / divi/bar-counters-item, which do not exist, so a counter rendered at 0%. I
• fix Divi 5: an image's click-through link did not apply. image_url on divi/image wrote to …value.url, but Divi 5 reads the link from …value.linkUrl. It now writes linkUrl

Security validator false positive

• fix Security validator false positive. The inline-event-handler pattern (/on\w+\s*=/i) matched onXXX= anywhere in content — including inside shortcode attribute values like button_text="Start minikursus for 222 kr.". The pat
• fix Playbooks not appearing in the ChatGPT tool list. get_ability_ids_for_adapter() called Respira_Playbooks::get_registered_ability_ids(), which reads from a static array populated during wp_abilities_api_init. That action
• fix Divi 5.7 Visual Builder opens blank after Respira writes. Divi 5.7 changed its VB initialisation to read content from the WordPress autosave revision ({post_id}-autosave-v1) rather than the _et_pb_page_content meta. Page
• fix Duplicated Divi 5.7 page appears empty in Visual Builder. Same root cause: newly duplicated pages have no autosave revision. Respira now seeds the revision at duplication time so the VB opens with the correct content
• fix Divi code module becomes inaccessible after a CSS or HTML update. The same autosave-revision gap applied to targeted element updates: updating a code module's content wrote the new post_content but left the autosave revi
• fix Divi 5 column widths collapse to 0px on a 3-column row. When an asymmetric flex column structure (e.g. 60/20/20) was distributed across 3 or more columns, the fractional percentages were computed correctly but the third

Divi 5 builds with rich native modules by default

• add Divi 5 builds with rich native modules by default. The agent now advertises divi/heading, divi/text, divi/image, divi/button, and divi/blurb alongside the structural blocks. Before this, the only content block offered by
• add Dropped Divi 5 styling now fails loudly. When a style attribute is not supported on a Divi 5 module, the write still saves the content but now returns a clear dropped_settings summary naming exactly which styles did not
• change Connecting an AI assistant moved to the respira.press dashboard. The plugin's connect screen is now a status band plus one button that opens the dashboard MCP page with this site preselected (you land signed in). Pick yo

inject_builder_content now accepts target_path to add modules to an existing column

• add inject_builder_content now accepts target_path to add modules to an existing column. Pass the path of the target container (e.g. target_path: "sections[0].rows[0].columns[0]") along with content containing the new module
• fix Playbooks now appear in the streamable MCP tools/list. get_ability_ids_for_adapter() never read from the WP Abilities registry, so respira-playbooks/* IDs (registered dynamically at boot) were invisible to ChatGPT and Cl
• fix inject_builder_content now accepts target_path to add modules to an existing column. Pass the path of the target container (e.g. target_path: "sections[0].rows[0].columns[0]") along with content containing the new module
• fix Divi 5 column nodes now appear as columns[n] in path strings instead of modules[n]. build_path_string() previously used modules[n] for every node at depth 2 or deeper, making columns and leaf modules indistinguishable. A
• fix WebMCP input size limit raised from 100 KB to 10 MB. The wmcp_max_input_size default was set in 2023 before Divi 5 adoption. Pages with > ~50 KB of builder content failed silently with Tool execution failed. Raised to 10
• fix Elementor Pro Global Widgets no longer cause a PHP 500 after any page edit. simplify_structure() only preserved id/elType/settings/elements/widgetType/isInner, so the top-level templateID property on Global Widget elemen

Divi 5 build guidance points the agent at the rich native modules

• change Divi 5 build guidance points the agent at the rich native modules. The server's Divi 5 blurb now says heading, text, image, button, and blurb are advertised by default and safe to build with, and to prefer them over divi
• change No more per-inject Divi 4 vs Divi 5 round-trip. The editing contract now tells the agent to auto-detect the version from the page (respira_get_builder_info / respira_read_page, with the plugin already flipping into Divi
• add Dropped-styling warnings are hoisted to the top of build results. When a Divi 5 (or any builder) write drops style settings the builder does not recognise, wordpress_inject_builder_content, wordpress_build_page, and word

Playbook steps accept the hyphenated tool names MCP clients emit

• fix Playbook steps accept the hyphenated tool names MCP clients emit. A step naming a tool in the client form (e.g. respira_wordpress-create-page-duplicate, as ChatGPT exposes it) was rejected as "not in the playbook executi
• fix Element-level tools reach their v2 routes from a playbook. The executor dispatched every step to the v1 REST namespace, but find_element, update_element, and the snapshot tools register only on v2, so those steps failed
• fix update_element routes to the element-update endpoint, not update_module. The allowlist mapped respira_update_element to the update_module path (a whole-tree round trip that is lossy on Divi 4) and required a spurious bui

report_issue over the site-URL MCP endpoint

• add report_issue over the site-URL MCP endpoint. OAuth and dashboard-token clients (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, claude.ai) can now file a structured bug report from inside the chat. It validates title/brief/steps, attaches the
• add list_playbooks and create_playbook over the site-URL MCP endpoint. The playbook management verbs were registered only as REST routes, never as MCP abilities, so the native endpoint never surfaced them (the npm server cal
• fix A full-page Divi write could fail security_validation_failed on its own legitimate markup. The trusted-builder-shortcode check stripped opening tags and leaf modules but left orphan closing tags ([/et_pb_column] ...) on
• fix The documented id module identifier silently returned module_not_found on Divi. update_module accepts module_identifier.id (the Divi module_id, e.g. "ole") and the API mapped it, but the Divi resolver had no case for it,
• fix Divi section paths accept a bare or slash-prefixed index. path: "6" and path: "/6" now target the seventh top-level section (equivalent to sections[6]), alongside the existing sections[6] and dotted-index forms

Divi 4 modules with a bracketed attribute value could be truncated on edit

• fix Divi 4 modules with a bracketed attribute value could be truncated on edit. When a module carried an attribute whose value contains a ] inside quotes (the common case is a global color, which Divi serializes as global_co
• fix batch_update on Elementor wrote to the wrong attribute bucket. batch_update hardcoded 'attrs' as the key it patched, but Elementor stores element attributes under 'settings'. Batched edits on Elementor therefore wrote in
• fix Six element and builder primitives were unreachable from playbooks. respira_create_page_duplicate, respira_create_post_duplicate, respira_extract_builder_content, respira_get_page_outline, respira_get_builder_inline_sche
• fix Claude Desktop / claude.ai rejected the whole tool list when an inhaled ability had a union-typed input schema. The native /mcp endpoint passed each ability's inputSchema through unchanged. Some inhaled third-party abili

delete_media schema exposes approval_token + force

• add delete_media schema exposes approval_token + force. The destructive gate landed on the WP side in v7.1.0-beta.1 but the MCP schema didn't expose the params, so agents couldn't complete the two-step approval round-trip. N
• fix B3 / N20: inject_builder_content Divi detector misclassified wrapped extracts. detectDiviContentFormat now unwraps the {content: [...]} round-trip shape via the shared helper before walking. Pre-fix, wrapped extracts ret

Divi 4 extract+inject round trip preserves per-column children order

• fix Divi 4 extract+inject round trip preserves per-column children order. parse_divi_shortcodes flattened columns via array_merge and lost per-column boundaries; build_divi_shortcodes then round-robin'd children back across
• fix Elementor v3 Nested Element widgets — page-level saves no longer strip widget-level elements[]. complexify_structure only re-emitted $element['elements'] when the elType was a known container (v3 section/container/column
• fix Gutenberg update_element with {content: "..."} now persists to post_content. The universal interface wrapped any flat patch missing a "structural" key into the adapter's attrs bucket. For Gutenberg that meant {content: "
• fix Divi 5 layout validator no longer over-rejects on append writes. B.W. reported every add_section / add_html / append-mode inject_builder_content failing with 16 verbatim "row should be inside section or column" errors —
• fix Divi 5 approve/merge no longer corrupts < and > to literal "u003c". approve_duplicate_by_merging_into_original passed the duplicate's unslashed post_content straight to wp_update_post, which wp_unslash()s internally befo
• fix move_element no longer silently deletes; reorder_elements no longer 500s. The MCP schemas shipped param names the plugin handlers never read. move_element sent element_id + target_container_id while the plugin expected i

Per-client HTTP agents + destroy-on-watchdog-trip

• fix Per-client HTTP agents + destroy-on-watchdog-trip. Pre-v6.19.3 the WordPressClient axios instances used Node's shared http.globalAgent / https.globalAgent. When a write tool hung past RESPIRA_MAX_TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS the watc
• fix restore_snapshot polls for completion when the request times out. Heavy Divi / Oxygen pages can take 1-3 min to restore; pre-v6.19.3 the synchronous POST exceeded axios's 30s timeout even though the server-side restore c
• rm wordpress_search_abilities MCP tool. Hit /wp-json/respira/v1/abilities/search, a route the plugin never registered. Every call 404'd. wordpress_get_builder_info + wordpress_search_docs cover the discoverable surface; wor
• schema wordpress_move_element + wordpress_reorder_elements aligned with the plugin contract. The MCP schemas shipped param names the plugin handlers never read; the plugin handlers had to be patched in 7.0.59 to accept the lega

rest_no_route errors now carry the attempted path

• fix rest_no_route errors now carry the attempted path. Previously, when WordPress returned rest_no_route (54 hits across two sites the week of 2026-05-24), the MCP recorded the generic WP string "No route was found matching
• change inject_builder_content description now lists Divi render-critical attrs. When any of the 10 Divi module types in the validator is missing its required attr (e.g. divi/heading without title, divi/button without button_tex
• change read_theme_file description hardened against non-stylesheet attempts. The schema already enforced .css / .scss / .less / .json, but agents kept trying .php / .html (5 hits the week of 2026-05-24, returning respira_theme_

Divi is_builder_used() vetoes itself when _et_pb_use_builder='off'

• fix Divi is_builder_used() vetoes itself when _et_pb_use_builder='off'. The explicit 'off' value is the user's signal that Divi is NOT active on this post (even though stale _et_pb_page_* meta from a previous Divi-active per
• add update_element response now carries builder.name and builder.version. Surfaces the picked adapter directly in the response envelope so silent-write reports can name the adapter that claimed the post without a separate re
• note The Lite plugin's is_divi_page() already vetoed on 'off' === $et_pb_use (only returns true on 'on'), so Lite was never affected and no sync port is needed.
• note Once the customer confirms v7.0.56 lands the write correctly, the broader detect_builder() audit (theme-tiebreaker rule should also respect explicit per-post disables across all builders, not just Divi) is queued separat

expected_type opt-in pre-write validation on update_module for Divi 4

• add expected_type opt-in pre-write validation on update_module for Divi 4. Callers (MCP clients, apply_builder_patch, batch_update) can pass expected_type: 'et_pb_text' in the updates payload. If the resolver lands on a modu
• add expected_type and _skip_truncation_check are now also stripped from the attribute patch automatically so they cannot accidentally land in module attributes if a caller forgets to extract them.
• note The root-cause fix (rewriting the path resolver to follow the nested children[] tree rather than the flat row-column merge) is queued for v7.0.56. Until then, agent clients calling Divi 4 update_module on multi-column ro
• note The MCP server's update_module tool description will get a matching update in the next mcp-server release to advertise expected_type and recommend its use on Divi 4. Plugin-side ship goes out first so the surface is ther

Gutenberg is_builder_used() disqualifier checks values, not just key presence

• fix Gutenberg is_builder_used() disqualifier checks values, not just key presence. Each "other-builder" meta key now carries a predicate matching the source builder's own activity convention:
• note Verified the failure mode against M.P.'s exact scenario: a post duplicated from an original that has _et_pb_use_builder=off will, pre-v7.0.54, fall through Gutenberg's claim check despite Gutenberg being the only sensibl
• note The pre-v7.0.54 disqualifier list pattern (presence-only) is a common code-smell across builder adapters. Future cleanup is queued to audit the cross-builder claim logic for the same stale-key class of bug, but for v7.0.

Bricks option-group read endpoints scrub _respira_* keys

• fix Bricks option-group read endpoints scrub _respira_* keys. handle_get_option_group (covering global-classes, color-palette, theme-styles, typography, global-variables, breakpoints, pseudo-classes) and handle_design_system
• fix Bricks option-group write endpoints recursively strip _respira_* keys from request bodies. handle_create_item was already stripping _respira_key_data at the top level only; expanded to recursive scrub_respira_internals()
• fix update_element / element-ops envelope is_duplicate now matches the actually-resolved write target. Pre-v7.0.53, Respira_Element_Ops::target_metadata() read is_duplicate from resolve_mutation_target()'s output, which eval
• fix Gutenberg inject_content now guards the write against third-party save_post reverts AND verifies persistence. The customer report: 9 successive duplicates (340148, 340151, 340153, 340155, 340157, 340159, 340161, 340163,
• note The Gutenberg silent-revert family also lives in the Divi adapter's update path for posts (Divi was enabled-then-disabled mid-session on the customer site, so duplicate detection may still route through Divi while Gutenb
• note The Bricks scrub does not delete leaked data from already-corrupted rows — it strips at READ + WRITE. A separate one-shot migration to scrub stored values is queued but not blocking: the READ scrub keeps the leak out of

B-7: inject_builder_content rejects simplified types

• fix B-7: inject_builder_content rejects simplified types. Pre-fix the detector returned unknown for payloads using simplified types (section, row, column, heading, etc. without divi/ or et_pb_ prefix) and hard-failed with "D
• fix {content: [...]} wrapper unwrap. Round-tripped extracts come back as {content: [...]}. The new unwrapBuilderContent helper normalises before forwarding so every downstream caller sees the same shape
• fix Camrin@cspmarketingsolutions friendly→canonical param translation. Three structural tools (move_element, duplicate_element, reorder_elements) advertised friendly param names but the REST endpoints required typed pairs. D

Truncation guard in Respira_API::update_element only fires on REAL truncation now

• fix Truncation guard in Respira_API::update_element only fires on REAL truncation now. Pre-v7.0.52 the guard at class-respira-api.php line 6159 compared the byte length of $updates['content'] (input) to the byte length of th
• fix content + text identifier_types skip the verify step entirely. For those identifier shapes the post-write find_module is unreliable BY DESIGN (the identifier string was the thing we just changed). No verify, no false pos
• fix New updates._skip_truncation_check: true opt-out for callers that know the verify-find would land on the wrong node. Safety hatch — the guard stays opt-in-default for paths where it does catch real truncation
• note Bug #1 from Morgan's report (update_element with match_content targets the FIRST match instead of the DEEPEST match) is actually addressed correctly by the v6.11.1+ find_divi4_shortcode deepest-match logic at class-build
• note Bug #3 (4-minute timeout on update_page / inject_builder_content for ~113KB Divi shortcode pages) is the same large-page complexify-tree-walk overhead that bit M.P. on Fischers Fritze. Belongs to v7.1.
• note The customer-facing impact of the false positive was severe: Morgan saw "tool failed" on a write that had actually persisted his changes correctly, retried via a workaround that bypassed type validation, and corrupted hi

Respira_Builder_Tree_Utility::matches() content identifier_type now deep-searches options / attrs / settings

• fix Respira_Builder_Tree_Utility::matches() content identifier_type now deep-searches options / attrs / settings. Pre-7.0.51 the content matcher only checked $element['content'] (Elementor / Divi 4 top-level string) and $ele
• fix update_element adds a normalize_element_updates($existing_element, $updates, $wrap_target) hook on Respira_Builder_Interface; Oxygen overrides it to route ct_image / ct_image_overlay flat patches into options.original. P
• note Verified end-to-end on Studio :8882 with Oxygen Classic 4.9.7. Test fixture: synthetic page with a ct_text_block whose options.ct_content is "Hello world<br>this is a paragraph ending in br" plus a ct_image with options.
• note The normalize_element_updates hook lands on the interface as an optional method — adapters that don't override it pay no cost. Future adapter-specific patch normalisations (Beaver's nested font field family, Breakdance's
• note Wider M.P. Härtetest findings: items #1, #2, #3, #5 are addressed by v7.0.47 → v7.0.50 (already shipped); the 4-minute timeout he flagged separately should also clear once v7.0.49's auto-heal removes the upstream 500 tri

divi_render_critical_attrs() no longer flags divi/column nodes missing attrs.type

• fix divi_render_critical_attrs() no longer flags divi/column nodes missing attrs.type. The render-critical-attrs map was introduced in v7.0.0 Bloom Phase B to catch LLM hand-writes that would render empty (heading without ti
• note Verified on Studio :8882 with synthetic 5-section Divi 5 tree containing 9 divi/column nodes with attrs => [] (the round-trip shape): validator returns 0 entries. Counter-test with deliberately bad leaf modules (heading
• note This release narrows the validator surface but does NOT fix the broader inconsistency between build_page (skip validator) and inject_builder_content (apply validator). That's a deliberate scope decision: the column rule
• note The Nettl reporter posted a very precise repro (5 sections, 4 rows, exact node counts) plus a working hypothesis pointing at content.innerContent. The actual root was different but the report's structured shape made the

Tree_Utility::matches() type+match_content branch deep-searches attributes / attrs / settings for the needle

• fix Tree_Utility::matches() type+match_content branch deep-searches attributes / attrs / settings for the needle. Pre-7.0.46 the branch only ran stripos($element['content'], $match_content). Self-closing Divi 4 modules (et_p
• note Closes the github #32 follow-up surface P.L. raised — third increment on this issue but the underlying bug was always one piece deeper than the previous fix suggested. v7.0.29 added attribute-text matching for update_mod
• note Verified by inspection: the new match path uses text_contains for the content body (HTML-tolerant via the existing v6.5.1 sanitiser) and any_string_contains for the attribute buckets (recursive deep-search). Both helpers

batch_update per-operation resolver now forwards match_content to Tree_Utility::find()

• fix batch_update per-operation resolver now forwards match_content to Tree_Utility::find(). Pre-7.0.45 the call site only passed 4 args (the optional 5th match_content was dropped), so any batch operation targeting a specifi
• fix batch_update remove action gets the same fix. Both actions in the same method use the same shared $op_match_content variable
• note Operator-trapping severity: pre-fix the API returned success: true with the write landing on the wrong element. Mid-batch silent data loss with a green-status response.
• note Closes github #32. The Divi 4 customer surface arc (P.L. / Catholic Mass Times) over the v7.0.29 -> v7.0.45 chain: kses corruption (closed v7.0.29), column corruption (closed v7.0.29), silent no-op (closed v7.0.29), per-

README accuracy pass: 30 skills
