🧩 Overview

Real-time AI Orchestration Toolkit / Harness for Wordpress - NV oOS is a modular AI framework (Object-Oriented System) for WordPress that connects your site's data with 18 language-model providers: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Baseten, Kimi (Moonshot), Z.AI (GLM), DigitalOcean, NVIDIA NIM, Cloudflare Worker AI, Azure, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, and TypeSafe Jev (decision-only), plus local WebLLM and embedded engines. It allows you to create and manage AI Assistants that can interact with users, access WordPress data, and perform custom tool functions.

✨ What's New at a Glance (v1.2.10)

• 🧭 Console migration Phase 5b–5d + console polish (Proposal 084, PR #7180). The orphaned cost/analytics REST controllers now register in includes/bootstrap/loader.php and power the real Analytics page (cost trend, provider donut, top tools/users); the Unified Blueprints page bridges behind GET /mcp-ai-pro/v1/blueprints as a searchable install catalogue; the Agent Command Center absorbs into the console Dashboard (fail-soft KPI + activity). Console-wide: a semantic DataTable (sortable headers, master–detail rows, sticky header) replaces the div-list tables, buttons are standardized, and the sidebar groups into Workspace / Automation / Command Centers / Insights / Admin (W3C disclosure, persisted state).

• 🧩 Crash fixes (PR #7184). The blueprints 500 — the admin_blueprints module gated the page class behind an admin context, so its static catalogue seams fataled on front-end REST; the class now loads unconditionally (only init() stays is_admin()). React error #310 (hooks after early returns) fixed on Schedule Manager, Workflows, Pro Ops, and Orchestration Stats — with a permanent react-hooks/rules-of-hooks ESLint gate that caught 21 latent violations. The settings page gains section cards, cross-tab search, and a sticky save footer; the chat dock gets mode-synced conversation-list collapse, a theme switch, a stacked composer, and a working drag-resize.

• 💾 Real transcript-storage meter (PR #7185). The status-bar "Sessions: X KB" meter measured localStorage keys that can never exist for the server-side transcript store (always 0). WP_MCP_AI_Transcript_Repository::get_storage_bytes() now aggregates per-user payload lengths, the /chat-transcripts envelope carries storage_bytes, and the StatusBar prefers the server figure with a localStorage fallback for older installs.

• 🛡 Dependency advisories closed (PR #7186). markdown-it → 14.3.3 (ReDoS + O(n²)), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk → 1.32.0 (gateway 22/22), launch-editor → 2.14.2 — 14 of 16 open alerts; the vite pair already fixed on the alpha line.

• 🔨 Full tracked-bundle rebuild (PR #7182). Lockfile-only advisory bumps had left tracked bundles silently stale for 13 days — the full artifact tree was rebuilt (16 files) and the rebuild discipline codified in the spa-ui + dependabot-loop skills (#7183).

• 🚀 Standalone SPA endpoint sync (PR #7181). The Vite mirror gains the three canonical ProSpaEndpoints keys (cost, blueprints, commandCenter) and points analytics at the core namespace — the Velocity build gate fixed.

• 📚 Docs & skills (PRs #7178, #7183, #7185). The Schedule Anything ops skill gains the Cloudways Anti-Bot Protection (Imunify360 WebShield) failure class with the diagnostic ladder and fix; the spa-rest-contract skill gains bug class 11 (wrong-store meters); the test-suite skill documents the run-tests-docker.sh dump-autoload fallback.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.10 across all version-bearing files. Pro addon: 1.2.10. Tool count: ~355 base + ~1,377 Pro (~1,731 total — unchanged; live registry authoritative). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged). Provider count: 18 (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged; Schedule Anything Platform 0.1.2). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 77 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 76 (unchanged). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.8 oOS set (30 files).

🎯 Mission: Modernizing Small to Medium Business Websites

NV oOS is specifically designed to help small to medium-sized businesses fast-track their outdated, stale, or insecure company websites to modern technology standards—without the need to add yet another wrapper around API calls. Instead, we're trying to peel back decades of API wrappers with the help of AI, providing:

• Direct AI Integration - No middleware required. Connect directly to OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Cloudflare Worker AI, Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter, and DeepSeek without custom development

• Security-First Architecture - Built-in protection against nefarious usage with active monitoring and prevention systems

• Enterprise-Grade Features - Access to capabilities typically requiring expensive custom development

• Compliance & Audit Tools - Comprehensive logging, rate limiting, and usage tracking built-in

• Zero Technical Debt - Modern codebase following WordPress standards, ready for current technology stacks

🛡 Active Security Monitoring

NV oOS actively prevents and monitors against nefarious behavior. The plugin includes:

• Nefarious Usage Monitor - Real-time detection of suspicious patterns and automatic emergency shutdown capabilities【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-nefarious-usage-monitor.php†L1-L676】

• Root Security Key - Optional emergency authentication layer to prevent unauthorized reactivation after security incidents【F:docs/features/security/root-security-key.md†L1-L511】

• Granular Capability Controls - Every tool and API endpoint enforces WordPress capabilities to prevent unauthorized access

• Rate Limiting - Built-in protection against abuse with configurable limits per user, model, and time period

• Comprehensive Audit Logging - Track all API calls, tool executions, and security events for compliance and forensic analysis

• Input Sanitization & Output Escaping - All user input sanitized, all output escaped following WordPress security best practices

This is not a tool for circumventing security or promoting bad practices. Every feature is designed with security, transparency, and responsible AI usage as core principles. The plugin actively works to stop and prevent misuse before it happens.

Latest audit: See docs/operations/compliance/SECURITY_AUDIT_2026_04.md — the published summary of the April 2026 security & compliance code review (no Critical findings; 5 High items, 3 Fixed and 2 Partially Fixed). Full deliverables under docs/project/audits/2026-04/.

WordPress.org compliance hardening (May 9, 2026): docs/operations/compliance/WORDPRESS_ORG_COMPLIANCE_2026_05_09.md — findings B3, B8, B10, B13, and production vendor remap all resolved.

⚠ Warranty & Safe Use

We make every effort to keep NV oOS safe and secure — but by design, it can be destructive and resource-intensive when not properly configured.

NV oOS grants AI assistants access to powerful WordPress operations. The same capability that automates real work can cause irreversible harm if misconfigured:

• Destructive tools — bulk content deletion, user management, file writes, mass email, WP-CLI, direct database operations

• API billing exposure — uncapped AI provider calls can exhaust quotas and trigger unexpected charges

• Server resource exhaustion — concurrent agentic loops and SSE streams can saturate CPU/memory on shared hosting

Before going live: test on staging, take verified backups, apply least-privilege tool permissions, enable rate limiting, and review the system prompt of every public-facing assistant.

Patent Pending

NV oOS is the subject of a pending patent application for its novel System and Method for Dynamic AI Orchestration Layer with Real-Time Capability Gating and Resource Budgeting.

Application Number: 19/410,504

The patent covers NV oOS's innovative approach to implementing sophisticated AI orchestration in WordPress's request-based PHP architecture—a platform not designed for real-time streaming, asynchronous operations, or persistent state management. This technical achievement enables enterprise-grade AI capabilities on WordPress by recreating event-driven behavior within PHP's synchronous execution model.

Key Innovations Covered:

• Dynamic resource budget allocation during streaming operations

• Capability-based access control for AI tool execution

• Registry-state-based scheduling in stateless environments

• Metrics-driven budget adjustment for real-time optimization

• Persistent-behavior illusion in request-based architectures

The orchestration layer makes NV oOS unique in the WordPress ecosystem by solving fundamental architectural limitations that prevent traditional WordPress plugins from supporting advanced AI features. See the System Architecture section below for technical details on how these innovations work together.

🏗 System Architecture

NV oOS implements a comprehensive orchestration layer for managing AI operations during real-time streaming events. The system architecture comprises:

• 18 language-model providers — OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Baseten, Kimi (Moonshot), Z.AI (GLM), DigitalOcean, NVIDIA NIM, Cloudflare Worker AI, Azure, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, TypeSafe Jev (decision-only), plus local WebLLM + embedded engines

• ~1,731 tool classes (~355 base + ~1,377 Pro; live count via WP_MCP_AI_Tool_Registry::get_tools() is authoritative) registered through a singleton Tool Registry

• 36 REST controllers (16 base + 20 pro) under the mcp-ai/v1 namespace

• 64 service classes powering orchestration, budgets, and workflows

• 5 authentication methods — WordPress nonce, assistant credentials, mesh keys, Auth0 JWT, guest tokens

• Toolkit MCP servers — per-toolkit JSON-RPC 2.0 servers exposed under /wp-json/mcp-ai-pro/v1/mcp/{slug}; discoverable at /.well-known/mcp

• 8 inline-async-tick consumers — cooperative tick-lock pattern eliminates WP-Cron startup latency for background jobs (transcript mining, async tool executor, SaaS Apply, Crawl4AI, Docs Hub rebuild, Graphify reindex, Harness eval, Gemini Veo polling)

• 7 LLM Harness layers (+ 1 Pro) — opt-in epistemic layers A–H activated per-assistant via the LLM Harness metabox

• Orchestration Phases 1–7 — HITL approval queue, prompt-injection detector, structured output, OTel exporter, DAG builder, durable runs, triggers/webhooks, sub-agents

📖 For a detailed explanation of how NV oOS extends standard SSE and MCP protocols with novel orchestration features, see ORCHESTRATION-LAYER-ARCHITECTURE.md

Core Orchestration Layer: Overcoming PHP's Limitations

Critical Context: Most real-time AI streaming systems are built with Node.js, Python FastAPI, or Go — platforms designed for asynchronous, event-driven operations. These platforms natively support:

• Long-lived connections and persistent state

• Non-blocking I/O and parallel execution

• Event loops and asynchronous callbacks

• WebSocket protocols and SSE streaming

NV oOS achieves the same capabilities in PHP/WordPress — an environment fundamentally not designed for these patterns — through a sophisticated orchestration layer that creates a "persistent-behavior illusion":

1. Real-Time Budget Enforcement - Monitors token/memory usage during streaming, prevents exhaustion through predictive allocation

2. Capability-Based Tool Gating - WordPress role-based access control for AI tool execution

3. Predictive Optimization - Analyzes usage patterns to prevent resource overruns before they occur

4. Distributed Orchestration - Multi-provider support with policy-aware routing

5. Auditability & Compliance - Complete governance layer with logging and rate limiting

6. Cron-Based Task Orchestration - Extends orchestration to async operations with budget inheritance

Multi-Agent Orchestration Enhancement (DeepSeek V4-Inspired)

Added: January 2026 (v1.1.0)

Building upon the core orchestration layer, NV oOS now includes a sophisticated multi-agent coordination framework inspired by DeepSeek V4's orchestration patterns:

Key Components:

• Agent Role System - Four specialized roles (Planner, Executor, Critic, Specialist) with role-specific capabilities

• Team Composition - Automated team assembly based on task requirements and profession expertise

• Coordinated Workflows - Multi-step workflows with agent delegation, result aggregation, and validation

• Team CPT Integration - Persistent team configurations with orchestration modes (single/sequential/parallel/swarm)

• Profession-Based Discovery - 296 professions auto-assigned agent roles via intelligent seeding across 17 knowledge bases

Example Multi-Agent Workflow:

// 1. Compose research team (planner + executors + critic)
$orchestrator = new WP_MCP_AI_Agent_Team_Orchestrator();
$team = $orchestrator->compose_team( array( 'task_type' => 'research' ) );

// 2. Execute coordinated workflow
// Planner decomposes task → Executors research subtasks → 
// Communication service aggregates → Critic validates quality
$result = $orchestrator->execute_team_workflow( $team, $task, $context );

Documentation:

• See Multi-Agent Orchestration for complete technical details

• See DEEPSEEK-V4-README.md for documentation suite overview

• See DEEPSEEK-V4-USAGE-GUIDE.md for practical examples

Why This Architecture Is Novel: Overcoming PHP's Limitations

• Event loops and background workers

PHP/WordPress, by contrast, is fundamentally request-based:

• Every HTTP request spawns a new process that dies after responding

• I/O operations block execution

• No persistent memory between requests

• No native event loop or async coordination

NV oOS solves this by implementing an orchestration layer that creates a "persistent-behavior illusion" — effectively recreating Node.js's event loop behavior within WordPress's synchronous, request-based architecture. This architectural compensation is the system's core technical innovation:

This makes NV oOS patent-worthy as a technical workaround — it achieves sophisticated AI orchestration in an environment specifically not designed for such patterns. See ORCHESTRATION-LAYER-ARCHITECTURE.md for the complete technical analysis.

Computer-Implemented Resource Management

The system operates as a computer-implemented method executing on a processor with memory, performing:

1. Dynamic Resource Budget Allocation: The orchestration layer dynamically allocates token and memory budgets to tool execution requests based on real-time system capacity and operation requirements. The WP_MCP_AI_Resource_Manager continuously monitors server resources (PHP memory limits, execution time constraints) and automatically adjusts operational parameters.

2. Capability-Based Access Control: Tool execution endpoints enforce granular capability-based access controls. Each tool in the registry declares required WordPress capabilities, and the REST API controller validates user permissions before allowing execution. This ensures secure, policy-driven access to all operations.

3. Registry-State-Based Scheduling: The WP_MCP_AI_Tool_Registry maintains tool availability state and schedules execution based on policy constraints. Tools are loaded conditionally based on dependency availability, and execution is scheduled according to assistant configuration and user permissions.

4. Metrics-Driven Budget Adjustment: The system continuously monitors execution metrics (memory usage, API response times, token consumption) and adjusts resource budgets in response to prevent resource exhaustion and reduce latency. The WP_MCP_AI_Token_Budget_Manager implements safety margins and dynamic chunking to prevent API limit overruns.

System Components

The system comprises a processor and memory storing instructions that:

• Monitor real-time resource availability through PHP runtime introspection

• Enforce capability checks at REST endpoint boundaries

• Schedule tool execution through a centralized registry

• Adjust token and memory budgets based on detected system metrics

• Maintain operation logs for audit and optimization

This architecture is embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media (PHP source files) that, when executed by a web server processor, cause the system to perform the complete resource management workflow. The implementation prioritizes stability, security, and efficient resource utilization across diverse hosting environments.

Symfony Process Integration (December 2025)

NV oOS Pro addon integrates the Symfony Process component for secure external command execution. This modern framework replaces direct exec() calls in 6 Pro tools and 2 supporting services, providing:

• Enhanced Security: Proper argument escaping and command validation

• Timeout Management: Configurable timeouts with graceful handling

• Better Error Handling: Comprehensive exception catching and WordPress-friendly error reporting

• Process Control: Real-time output streaming and cancellation support

Migrated Tools & Services:

• FFmpeg operations (video frame extraction, metadata reading)

• Python rembg (background removal)

• WP-CLI execution

• Meta AI Jukebox (music generation)

• Supporting services for video and audio processing

The Process Service (WP_MCP_AI_Process_Service) provides WordPress-friendly wrappers with WP_Error integration, making external process execution consistent with WordPress coding standards.【F:includes/services/class-wp-mcp-ai-process-service.php†L1-L220】【F:docs/history/2025/implementations/symfony-phases/SYMFONY_PHASE2B_PROCESS_INTEGRATION.md†L1-L100】

📜 Release History

The 12 most recent releases are documented in full below. Every older release has a one-line summary in the Previous Releases table, and complete per-release detail lives in CHANGELOG.md.

v1.2.10 — October 23, 2026

Console Migration Phase 5b–5d, Crash Fixes, Storage Meter & Advisory Sweep

• 🧭 Admin-surface console migration Phase 5b–5d + polish (Proposal 084, PR #7180). The orphaned WP_MCP_AI_REST_Cost_Manager + WP_MCP_AI_REST_Analytics_Manager controllers now register in includes/bootstrap/loader.php (Phase 5b) and power the real Analytics page (cost trend, provider donut, top tools/users — manage_options-gated, wrapping the existing service layers); the Unified Blueprints page bridges behind GET /mcp-ai-pro/v1/blueprints as a searchable install catalogue (5c); the Agent Command Center absorbs into the console Dashboard (5d, fail-soft KPI + activity). Console-wide polish: a semantic DataTable (sortable headers, master–detail expandable rows, sticky header, scroll containment, zebra striping) replaces the div-list tables; standardized primary/danger buttons; a grouped collapsible sidebar (ConsoleSidebar + nav-features: Workspace / Automation / Command Centers / Insights / Admin) with the W3C disclosure pattern, persisted state, and default-Workspace-expanded.

• 🧩 Crash fixes + settings + chat dock (PR #7184). The blueprints 500 — the admin_blueprints module gated the page class behind context => 'admin', so its static catalogue seams fataled on front-end REST; the class loads unconditionally now (only init() stays is_admin()), pinned by an 11-test REST suite. React error #310 (hooks after early returns) fixed on Schedule Manager, Workflows, Pro Ops, and Orchestration Stats — with a permanent react-hooks/rules-of-hooks ESLint gate that caught 21 latent violations across 4 files. The settings page gains section cards per tab (the schema's previously unused section/section_id), cross-tab search with breadcrumbs, a sticky save footer, and dirty-field indicators. The chat dock: mode-synced conversation-list collapse (docked starts collapsed, full-page open — boot-synced to avoid a first-frame flash), the visible status-bar ☰ toggle, a light/dark theme switch, a stacked composer (textarea no longer squashed to 31px), and drag-resize on the textarea itself.

• 💾 Server transcript storage meter (PR #7185). The status-bar "Sessions: X KB" meter measured same-origin localStorage keys that can never exist for the server-side transcript store. WP_MCP_AI_Transcript_Repository::get_storage_bytes() aggregates per-user payload lengths (0 when the CCT is unavailable), GET /mcp-ai/v1/chat-transcripts carries storage_bytes, and the StatusBar prefers the server figure with a localStorage fallback for older installs.

• 🛡 Dependency advisory sweep (PR #7186). markdown-it → 14.3.3 (ReDoS + O(n²), bounded override — 6 alerts), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk → 1.32.0 (gateway exact pin, 22/22 — 8 alerts), launch-editor floor → 2.14.2 (2 alerts) — 14 of 16 open alerts closed; the vite pair already fixed on the alpha line.

• 🔨 Full tracked-bundle rebuild (PR #7182). Lockfile-only advisory bumps (#7175, #7106) had left tracked bundles silently stale for 13 days — the full artifact tree rebuilt (16 files: the three generate-* worker bundles, chat bundles, SPA dists, TMA entries, drift manifest); spa-v2 + complete-velocity rebuilt byte-identical same-day.

• 🚀 Standalone SPA endpoint sync (PR #7181). The Vite mirror gains the three canonical ProSpaEndpoints keys (cost, blueprints, commandCenter) and points analytics at the core mcp-ai/v1/analytics namespace (matching the canonical PHP config) — the Velocity build gate's TS2739 fixed.

• 📚 Docs & skills (PRs #7178, #7183, #7185). The spa-ui skill gains a "Rebuild discipline" subsection (lockfile-movement staleness signature, the vendor never-commit rule, the revert-on-shared-branch play, merge discipline) and the dependabot-loop skill gains Step 7 (rebuild tracked bundles); the Schedule Anything ops skill gains the Cloudways Anti-Bot Protection (Imunify360 WebShield) failure class — symptom signature, the pdata/wsidchk clues, the diagnostic ladder, and the fix — cross-referenced from the Complete Console deploy runbook; the spa-rest-contract skill gains bug class 11 (wrong-store meters) + the storage_bytes baseline; the test-suite skill documents the run-tests-docker.sh silent dump-autoload fallback.

• 🧪 Tests (PRs #7184, #7185). Regression pins for the blueprints REST surface (11 tests / 103 assertions), the cost/analytics/command-center REST surfaces (17 tests), the loading → loaded transitions on the four hook-order pages, the transcript-storage suite (3 tests), and the useTranscripts storageBytes parsing/fallback cases.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.10 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.10. No addon version moves in-window (Schedule Anything Platform stays 0.1.2). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged — verified across package.json + both health/status surfaces). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~355 base + ~1,377 Pro (~1,731 total — unchanged) — zero registry registrations in-window (the cost/analytics managers are REST controllers; live registry authoritative). Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 77 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 76 (unchanged — five skills updated in place). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.8 oOS set (30 files — 9 + 2 + 19).

v1.2.9 — October 22, 2026

Complete Console App + Admin Console Migration, SA Visibility & New REST Routes

• 🖥 NV oOS Complete Console Velocity app (Proposal 083, PRs #7150, #7154). A new standalone Cloudways Velocity app (examples/nvoos-complete-velocity/) serving the full spa-v2 admin surface for Complete customers — build-time composition via the @nvoos/pro-spa-v2 Vite alias (no spa-v2 fork), cookie auth through the proven same-origin BFF proxy (serve.mjs, no connection screen), and a Schedule Anything-format shell: dashboard home, one route-split page per addon, a collapsible nav rail, and a persistent chat dock (single ChatPage instance — conversations keep streaming while browsing).

• 🧭 Admin-surface console migration, Phases 0–4d (Proposal 084, PRs #7164, #7166). WP_MCP_AI_Feature_Flags + GET /mcp-ai/v1/features gate the console nav (fail-open); Approvals/Slash Commands/Triggers/Portability/Security/Teams ports with per-page wp-admin kill-switches; a schema-driven Settings engine (/settings/schema + /settings/values, dirty-diff saves, secret masking); ops/diagnostics/token-manager pages + GET /mcp-ai-pro/v1/ops/overview; Schedule Manager (P9) + Workflow Builder (ReactFlow canvas) + records/dashboards/calendar/F&B/channels/media-ops pages. A REST contract parity audit fixed nine client/server mismatches — including the assistants GET/PUT routes that broke the edit form. Phase 5 (retirement soak + kill-switch flips) remains.

• 📅 Schedule Anything full visibility (PR #7147 — platform 0.1.1 → 0.1.2). The builder palette now reads the live registry via GET /mcp-ai-pro/v1/sa-tools (paged light rows, server search + group facet — replaces a hardcoded 19-tool fixture); GET /toolkits returns tier/platform_active/entitled (server-decided, greys out of-tier toggles); the missing flowhub + shopify-sync toolkit rows are back; multisite admins gain sa_manage_workspace idempotently; preset filters use server facet dropdowns + load-more; same-state toggles are a successful no-op.

• ⚙ New base settings/features routes (PRs #7157, #7164). GET/POST /mcp-ai/v1/settings (SPA-shaped { success, data }, secrets masked as the admin placeholder, whitelisted sanitize + key mapping + clamps), GET /mcp-ai/v1/features, GET /mcp-ai/v1/teams, and the settings schema/values pair.

• 🛡 Opt-in debug logging (PR #7161). The JetEngine CCT hot path no longer logs a debug event per request; debug-level events gate behind enable_debug_logging (default off) while errors/warnings/criticals stay always-on; the CG Pro logger port mirrors the gate and degrades to a safe no-op standalone.

• 🔗 Memory-graph bridge seams (PR #7145). trace_memory_provenance resolves its bridge/DB walker through three filters and walks DERIVED_FROM/OBSERVED_BY/MEMBER_OF (not the never-populated RECALLS) with a new kind field; the RRF fusion stream resolves its bridge via wp_mcp_ai_memory_rrf_graph_bridge; the Content Graph plugin self-declares as the bridge (no CG version bump — release prep is a follow-up).

• 🧩 Console reliability (PRs #7174, #7176, #7163). Six 404ing mcp-ai-pro/v1 console routes fixed by a context-free rest_console_bridges registry module (the admin-context gate never fired for the front-end SPA); the schedule picker moves to its own /schedules/selectable route (last-registrant-wins collision fixed); dashboards and nav gate on toolkit toggles (disabled toolkits vanish server-side); loading states replace empty-then-loaded flashes on Assistants/Tools/Settings/Records/Dashboards/Channels.

• 🧾 SPA REST contract fixes (PRs #7156, #7155). The tools-list client maps the real { tools, total } envelope (route additively returns slug + required_capability); the knowledge-graph visual-config fetch sends the wp_rest nonce (cookie-mode 401 fixed); the Content Graph guest branch validates through the real guest-token layer; transcript 404s mean "fresh session".

• 🚀 Schedule Anything Velocity deploy chain (PRs #7146, #7148, #7151). Missing CSS assets fixed (asset-closure gate + 404-loudly serve.mjs, MIME-verified in the sync workflow); React 18.3 → 19.1.0 as a documented Pattern-B deviation; the complete-console mirror's build scripts are no-op shims with dependencies stripped (Velocity deploy fixed).

• 📉 Build & dependencies (PRs #7167, #7168, #7175, #7144, #7171, #7173, #7165). The Pro zip stops shipping root examples/ (−5.4 MB); vite → 8.2.4 across the 9 alerted manifests + schedule-anything-spa 6.4.4, hono ≥4.13.11, follow-redirects ≥1.16.1 (alerts 1336–1377); the dictate workflows install the real rustup arch targets (tauri lipo-merges the universal bundle); the standalone SPA's @xyflow/react lockfile + paths/aliases fixed.

• 📚 Docs & skills (PRs #7162, #7170, #7169, #7172, #7160, #7153). New mcp-ai-wpoos-spa-rest-contract skill (75 → 76) canonizes the REST contract audit (seven bug classes, audit path, fix decision rules, validation matrix); spa-ui gains the Tailwind v4 tracked-dist loop, the Pattern-B React 19 checklist, and the clean-install lockfile gotcha; content-graph-spa + schedule-anything-ops updated; README sponsor section + FUNDING.yml activated (VS16 anchor fixed); Proposal 085 (Funiq Velocity storefront) is docs-only.

• 🧪 Tests (PRs #7149, #7174). The order-dependent tenant-isolation failure is fixed (option reset in setUp()); phpunit.xml.dist drops its no-op source excludes (the 70 GB Rust target/ walk no longer hangs suite startup); the console-bridge registration is regression-pinned.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.9 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.9. Schedule Anything Platform: 0.1.1 → 0.1.2 (#7147). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~355 base + ~1,377 Pro (~1,731 total — unchanged) — zero registry registrations in-window (sa-tools + the settings/features/ops routes are REST surfaces, not tools; live registry authoritative). Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 77 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 75 → 76 (+mcp-ai-wpoos-spa-rest-contract). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.7 oOS set (30 files) + the superseded Schedule Anything Platform v0.1.1 ZIP.

v1.2.8 — October 19, 2026

Schedule Anything API + Single-Site Mode, F&B Worker Offload & MCP OAuth Hardening

• 📅 Schedule Anything presets + toolkits API (PR #7124, Proposal 081). Four mcp-ai-pro/v1 routes (rest_schedule_anything module): GET /toolkits + POST /toolkits/{slug}/toggle (server-side tier entitlements via the platform's SA_Toolkit_Manager, 403 sa_toolkit_not_entitled), GET /presets + /presets/{id} (12 presets across 6 toolkits), and idempotent POST /presets/{id}/install (replay returns the original schedule). Schedule records leaving REST are redacted (redact_schedule_for_public() — credential-bearing fields stripped), and the SPA builder payload aligns with the server contract (sonner error surfacing).

• 🏠 Schedule Anything Platform single-site mode (PR #7134, Proposal 082 — addon 0.1.0 → 0.1.1). No more activation wp_die on non-multisite: sole-tenant self-provisioning (tier default enterprise, filter sa_single_site_tier), a manage_options capability seam for SPA REST, 409 sa_cannot_offboard_sole_tenant, a SA_SAAS_API_KEY-gated heartbeat, and a 17-case suite wired into the root PHPUnit run via a self-guarding addon tests bootstrap.

• 🏭 F&B ingest × media-worker offload (PR #7114, Proposal 079 + Appendix B). The worker's POST /api/ingest/parse returns the F&B {columns, rows} matrix contract (XLSX/CSV/TSV/JSON/JSONL/PDF/photo; .xls/.ods → 503 capability_unavailable with local fallback), /api/image/batch gains the files[N] contract + per-file tolerance; the F&B loader parses heavy formats sidecar-first with local PhpSpreadsheet/PdfParser fallbacks; optimise_images_batch and the OCR-service PDF path offload; opt-in ocr_vision_fallback rung.

• 🛡 MCP OAuth authorize hardening (PR #7133). Exact-string redirect URI matching (RFC 9700 — the wildcard bypass is gone), registration-time URI validation, a nonce-bound consent page before any code is issued, unknown-scope rejection, and token-endpoint redirect_uri matching — Pro addon + the byte-identical Content Graph Pro mirror (19-test suites, 114 adjacent assertions on WP 6.9 + 7.1).

• 🖥 WP-CLI integration gaps closed (PR #7135). The dead mcp-ai content command registers again; a canonical WP_MCP_AI_Pro_Toolkit_Settings_Map (40 toolkits) fixes "Unknown toolkit key" for 11 real settings keys; toolkit enable|disable are manage_options-gated (--yes); new foundry/para/qms/mcp-app/fnb commands with the integration CLIs discovered via wp help mcp-ai.

• 💬 Chat composer vertical expansion + collapsible toolbar (Proposal 080, PRs #7113, #7116, #7118–#7120). Auto-grow 1→3 lines (field-sizing: content + fallback), iOS keyboard reflow (interactive-widget=resizes-content, dvh chain, useVisualViewport), a Zed-style drag-resize divider (clamped + persisted), a focus composer, an in-place collapsing desktop toolbar, a mobile toolbar row, and three pre-existing a11y lint failures fixed — 202 vitest tests green.

• 📧 Gmail body hydration + attachment text (PR #7110). HTML-only empty_parts emails hydrate via body.attachmentId before normalization; attachments return extracted text (PDFs via smalot/pdfparser, text/csv/json, actionable errors for scanned PDFs); unpadded base64url re-padding fixed.

• 🍽 F&B fixes (PRs #7108–#7112). Excel serial dates (46023 = 2026-01-01) no longer read as Unix epoch (the 1970-01 collapse that blanked every trend chart); the universal reader honors the operator's table_map; the raw-row import keeps non-canonical columns; resume/retry imports persist a resumeCursor; progress placeholders render.

• 🎙 Dictation macOS verification + universal builds (PRs #7122, #7123, #7137). A macos-latest boot-smoke job (30 s boot-residency gate + headless --mcp engine probe), an interactive tmate session workflow (scripts/macos-matrix-remote.sh), and one universal arm64+x86_64 artifact (lipo merged, both slices boot-verified) replacing the per-arch DMGs.

• 🚀 Schedule Anything Velocity app (PRs #7125, #7126, #7131). examples/schedule-anything-velocity/ serves the prebuilt SPA with the proven proxy core (no CORS config); a root server.js ESM shim satisfies Velocity PM2's default entry; the sync-token secret renamed NVOOS_SA_VELOCITY_REPO_TOKEN (GitHub caps secret names at 40 chars). The platform plugin's Requires Plugins header is dropped so the oos-complete bundle activates (core matches the dependency against the folder slug — three distribution slugs; #7132).

• 🔗 Dependencies (PRs #7106, #7121). handlebars 4.7.9 → 4.7.10 (GHSA-8r5x-fm3f-whwj); the Schedule Anything SPA joins every SPA zip build + release gate.

• 📚 Docs & skills (PRs #7115, #7128, #7129). New mcp-ai-schedule-anything-ops skill (74 → 75); the dictation-app skill gains the macOS remote verification loop; Pro tool coverage manifest regenerated (1,387 classes).

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.8 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.8. Schedule Anything Platform: 0.1.0 → 0.1.1 (#7134). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged — the new ingest route ships without a worker bump). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~355 base + ~1,377 Pro (~1,731 total — unchanged) — zero registry registrations in-window (#7135's commands are WP-CLI, #7124's surface is REST, #7114's client is a service; live registry authoritative). Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 77 base + 41 Pro (unchanged — the dictation-app bundled copy re-synced byte-identical). Coding-time agent skills: 74 → 75 (+mcp-ai-schedule-anything-ops). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.6 oOS set (30 files) + the superseded Schedule Anything Platform v0.1.0 ZIP.

v1.2.7 — October 17, 2026

F&B Universalisation, Sinhala TTS, and the Pro SPA Multi-Page Expansion

• 🍽️ Food & Beverage universalisation + open-format ingestion (PRs #7094–#7096, Proposal 078). The F&B toolkit moves from a single-tenant demo to a universal product: WP_MCP_AI_Fnb_Tenant_Profile de-couples currency (canonical neutral metric keys with legacy *_lkr aliases for the 20/20 oracle), render() de-venues both assistant surfaces via token substitution, demo_mode => false, and a new WP_MCP_AI_Fnb_Report_Exporter (DomPDF-first PDF + html_to_pdf fallback + CSV) powers fnb_export_report (+1 Pro). The universal reader scores a single Drive folder to table roles; the multi-format loader + Observation/terminology-map layer and a read-only Ingest & Review dashboard complete the ingestion track; an analytics dashboard adds KPI tiles + trend charts + panel tables.

• 🗣 Sinhala-native TTS (PR #7099). generate_sinhala_speech (+1 base) closes the generate_openai_speech gap (OpenAI voices are English-optimized, Google Cloud TTS has no si-LK voice) via SpeechGen (si-LK), Hugging Face facebook/mms-tts-sin, or a custom webhook; wired into the media_generation preset, with a teacher-assistant-sri-lanka.md system-prompt + tool pack.

• 🧩 Pro SPA multi-page expansion (PRs #7078–#7080). #/docs, #/media, and #/documents frame the Docs Hub / Media Studio / Document Editor SPAs in sandboxed iframes (mirroring #/knowledge-graph), with filterable docsHub/mediaStudio/documentEditor endpoints and nav-* commands; the standalone app defaults docsHub to the console docs hub.

• 🎙 Dictation-app skill bundling (PR #7077). mcp-ai-wpoos-dictation-app ships inside includes/bundled-skills/ and the bin/sync-agent-skills.php allowlist (base bundled 76 → 77).

• 🛡 Tool-schema hardening (PRs #7087, #7100, #7104). Per-property boolean required hoisted to the top-level array (both ChatOrchestrator + REST build_tools_payload()) and empty properties emitted as {} (seven no-arg tools + the central Tool_Schema_Auditor + the CG-AI mirror), fixing DeepSeek 400s.

• 🔍 Google Workspace unification + native Sheets (PRs #7097, #7101, #7105). search_gmail/search_drive delegate to the shared clients (fixing the google_workspace/email_imap rejection); get_drive_file reads native Google Sheets via the Sheets API v4 (sheet_name, tabs, row_count); extract_google_error_message() surfaces the real 403 cause.

• 📊 F&B reliability (PRs #7091, #7092, #7102, #7103). Recoverable unknown-metric errors (Levenshtein closest-ID suggestion), complete-by-default + resumable imports (25,000-row cap), header-dictionary metric resolution + covers fallbacks + fixed-height KPI charts, and a WPCS indentation pass.

• 👥 Team-member tool invocation (PR #7088). invoke_team_member() resolves profession slugs through build_tools_payload() (proper {type,function} definitions + attention/capability inheritance).

• 🔐 Framed SPA credential auth + surface fix (PRs #7075, #7076, #7085). Headless Bearer cred_… auth for framed Media Studio/Document Editor (capability-gated to the issuing user), the broken home-URL iframe fallback removed, and keep-alive hub tabs.

• 🔗 Dependency (PR #7074). @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.30.1 → 1.31.0 in the mcp-wordpress-gateway (GHSA-6qxp-vccf-f47h).

• 📚 Docs & skills (PRs #7081, #7082, #7084, #7086, #7093). design-performance-audit Flatsome + post-deploy sync, four more skill refreshes + Proposal 075, a Cloudflare 520 troubleshooting entry, the nvoos-dictate lockfile sync, and the Pro coverage-manifest regeneration.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.7 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.7. No addon version moves in-window. Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~355 base + ~1,377 Pro (~1,731 total — +1 base +1 Pro) — generate_sinhala_speech (#7099) + fnb_export_report (#7094); live registry authoritative; lib/core/sub-project tools never counted. Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 77 base (+mcp-ai-wpoos-dictation-app) + 41 Pro. Coding-time agent skills: 73 → 74 (+mcp-ai-wpoos-toolkit-ingestion; -universalisation self-bookkept at #7094). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.5 oOS set (30 files — see §2.5).

v1.2.6 — October 14, 2026

Drive OAuth Restored, F&B Reliability, OCR vLLM & the Dictation Browser Agent

• 🔐 Google Drive OAuth restored (PR #7053). The #6981 narrowing to the non-sensitive drive.file scope silently broke search_drive, get_drive_file, and the F&B tools for pre-existing content — a per-file scope that can't see anything the app didn't create. drive.readonly is restored as the default alongside drive.file, behind the unchanged wp_mcp_ai_google_drive_oauth_scope filter; the CG-AI-platform OAuth manager mirrors it (sub-project, flag-not-edited).

• 🍽 Food & Beverage reader reliability (PRs #7057, #7060, #7061, #7062). The Sheets reader assumed one Drive file per table; real clients use a single workbook. The WP_MCP_AI_Pro_Google_Drive_Client gains Sheets-API-v4 helpers (get_sheet_values()/get_sheets_metadata()) and the reader resolves table IDs to worksheet tabs with fuzzy matching (case/underscore/hyphen/substring) + a preserved split-file fallback. A DEMO_WORKBOOK_ID fallback + workbook_id() accessor fix the fresh-install file-lookup break; the spreadsheets.readonly OAuth scope + maybe_annotate_sheets_error() surface the real Sheets scope failure instead of a misleading split-file "not found". A new WP_MCP_AI_Fnb_Csv_Exporter (workbook → CSV-per-table with an admin export button) and the 18-table demo dataset (~10,700 rows) now ship in data/*.csv (the tests/ path was stripped from release builds).

• 🔒 Drive connection fixes (PR #7051). The WP_MCP_AI_Inline_Async_Tick_Trait double-declaration fatal in the harness eval scheduler (the non-once Composer classmap load raced a later require_once); Drive 400 responses now log the full body (so invalid_grant vs invalid_client is finally visible); folder_id can now be cleared (preserve only when the key is absent — the always-posted empty string was mistaken for an omission).

• 🔍 Self-hosted OCR vLLM contract (PR #7055). WP_MCP_AI_Self_Hosted_OCR_Client::ocr_images() emitted the SGLang dialect while every operator surface directs users to deploy vLLM — so the no-repeat-ngram processor was never engaged and long documents looped on coordinate tokens. Rewritten to the vLLM OpenAI-compatible shape (model = HF id; skip_special_tokens + ngram_size/window_size + DeepSeek's whitelist_token_ids under extra_body.vllm_xargs); base + CG Pro mirror byte-identical.

• 🤖 Dictation browser agent + FastConformer (PRs #7041, #7043–#7050). The agent feature drives a real browser over CDP (chromiumoxide) from dictated/typed instructions — a ReAct loop, a six-variant verdict model with real read-back, an origin-guarded safety gate + sensitive-field masking + async HITL Approve/Deny, and the brain model now correctly uses settings.agent.model (never the shared cleanup/TTS model). A second local STT engine (fastconformer nemo_ctc) ships; an explicit CleanupConfig.polish_enabled master switch replaces the wait_for_llm_ms > 0 gate (the 0 default used to silently disable polish); model download/install hardened (.download moved out of the install dir, 5× staging-swap retry, spawn_blocking install).

• 🧭 NV oOS multi-SPA hub + Pro SPA v2 fixes (PRs #7063, #7066, #7064, #7072). A new GET /mcp-ai-pro/v1/spa-surfaces discovery endpoint (WP_MCP_AI_Pro_SPA_Surfaces_Controller, gated on shortcode_exists()/class_exists()) + the dictate app's "NV oOS" multi-surface hub. The Pro SPA v2 last-message-save + assistant-memory regressions are fixed (#7066); the tool-shortcuts/slash-commands/OKF drawers now accept guest/bearer/assistant-credential auth via the new trait-wp-mcp-ai-spa-credential-auth.php (they were cookie-only → 401 inside the dictate iframe, #7072).

• 🔗 Dependency (PR #7059). shell-quote bumped to >=1.11.0 (resolving 1.12.0) across the root + saas-controller + Pro SPA manifests, closing the GHSA-pqg4-j6r4-53mv command-injection alert in three lockfiles.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.6 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.6. No addon version moves in-window. Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~354 base + ~1,376 Pro (~1,730 total — unchanged) — zero registry diff in-window (no class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-* registrations; #7063's spa-surfaces is a REST endpoint and #7062's CSV exporter is a service, both non-tool). Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 72 (unchanged — no new skills in-window). Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.4 oOS root set (30 files — see §2.5).

v1.2.5 — October 13, 2026

GTmetrix × WPCode Toolkit, Food & Beverage Phase 9 & the Hardened Dictation App

• 🚀 GTmetrix × WPCode performance toolkit (PR #7026, Proposal 068). +24 Pro tools — a 23-tool gtmetrix_* set (start/monitor/retest, report + Lighthouse-audit + resource-summary reads, browser/location/simulated-device listing, alert + page-tag + monitoring management, and generate_wpcode_snippet) plus the read-only list_wpcode_snippets on a shared WP_MCP_AI_Pro_WPCode_Snippet_Repository (extracted zero-behavior-change from create_wpcode_snippet, conditional_logic support). Deterministic CWV/grade/weight scoring with a 41-check standalone oracle, a credit-aware Action Scheduler poller + CPT snapshot store surviving GTmetrix's 1-month retention, a Basic-auth client with 429 backoff + sensitive-resource hard-blocks, and gtmetrix_install_wpcode_fix drafts-only/chat-restricted. Five schedule + two workflow presets, an assistant pack + wp mcp-ai pro gtmetrix seed-assistant, full 7-surface registration + regenerated coverage manifests. Deferred (plan §8): WP 7.1 second pass, live-key smoke test, proposals-README status.

• 🍽 Food & Beverage Phase 9 (PR #7032). +10 Pro tools — five transactional-table CPT backends (mcp_ai_fnb_sale|purchase|stock|waste|booking behind enable_fnb_native_storage, with idempotent upserts + before/after hooks) read by metrics/reports unchanged through a WP_MCP_AI_Fnb_Cpt_Reader; the ACT-tier fnb_import_table Sheet/CSV→CPT bridge (dry-run, idempotent); and nine fnb_pr_* purchase-request tools running the approval lifecycle on the QMS engine (preconditions via wp_mcp_ai_qms_state_preconditions, PO numbering PR-YYYYMM-###, release-signature relaxation). The four A1–A4 assistants ship as unified Blueprints; a new top-level F&B Management menu (CRM/PM pattern) with five CPT screens + a dashboard + settings link. Deferred: Phase 10 chat/social/booking wiring, reference-table CCT fields, Appendix A10.

• ⚙️ F&B admin menu + module-registry fix (PR #7029). tools/food-beverage/init.php was dead code — fnb was missing from the Pro Module Registry's conditional_toolkits/dir_map, so the admin menu never registered (tools still worked via the central map). A new F&B settings page + the CRM-style enable gate land; the 21 shipped tools now surface correctly. design-...-toolkit-creation case study updated to eleven registration surfaces.

• 🍱 F&B assistant-pack seeding + CSV guidance (PR #7033). The truncated WP_MCP_AI_Fnb_Assistant_Seeder completed (seed(), portability-engine load, image-tool add) so the one-click Seed assistant packs admin button and the wp mcp-ai pro fnb seed-assistants CLI share identical semantics; CSV data-directory guidance + a read-only status row (configured/exists/is-directory/readable/writable).

• 🎙 Dictation companion app hardened (examples/nvoos-dictate, PRs #7017, #7020, #7021, #7025). The live-capture stream-hold regression (cpal Stream dropped on return → zero callbacks), the stuck-Alt hotkey (synthetic key-up after unhook), adaptive energy-VAD with a real-signal fallback, and the model re-download OpenOptions write-access bug fixed; whisper+parakeet now build into one binary (vendored whisper-rs-sys static CRT); a Diagnostics page + mic input-device picker ship. Deferred: auto-restart watchdog, loopback meeting audio.

• 🔐 Dictation follow-up: credentials + macOS + whisper speed (PR #7027). whisper release speed fixed (RTF 5.2 → 0.36 via whisper-rs-sys/force-debug); version 0.1.0 → 0.2.0; a Windows Credential Manager backend (win_cred.rs writing CRED_PERSIST_LOCAL_MACHINE) replaces keyring 3.6.3's broken CRED_PERSIST_ENTERPRISE path (write-then-read-back verification); the macOS port proposal (068) lands as a plan doc.

• 🍬 macOS port (P5, PR #7030). cfg-gated PTT (permission-free Cmd+Opt+Space toggle + opt-in CGEventTap hold), a TCC permissions layer with System Settings deep links, CoreGraphics paste, ScreenCaptureKit meeting audio via a Swift sidecar (NDJSON), per-app cleanup profiles (NSWorkspace frontmost detection), Info.plist/entitlements, and a macos-latest CI job. Not yet verified on real Mac hardware (CI has no audio/screen/permission hardware).

• 🤖 Local LLM polish, video input & licensing (PR #7037, Proposals 071/072). lm_studio/ollama Stage-2 cleanup providers on a shared local_openai transport; DecodedMedia + a chunker demux MKV/MP4(MOV)/WebM without FFmpeg (transcribe_media/summarize_media IPC); nvoos-dictate + the two SPA demos marked proprietary NV Digital (license = "proprietary"/"UNLICENSED", LICENSE.txt/NOTICE.md/.reuse/dep5).

• 👁 Vision object detection + VLM label polish (PRs #7039, #7040, Proposals 075/076). Opt-in ONNX-YOLO detection (yolov11n default, yolov8n fallback) with SORT/ByteTrack tracking and a click-to-select pin overlaid on the webview canvas, plus an opt-in Qwen2.5-VL label-polish layer (crop → base64 PNG to LM Studio/Ollama) that re-labels the closed-vocabulary detector's low-confidence/misnamed boxes. Deferred: MediaPipe-hand, ByteTrack low-confidence recovery, biometric identity.

• 👤 Standalone SPA login presets (PR #7031). HOME-selected deploy-specific login pages (cookie-dev-proxy / application-password / assistant-credential / preconfigured) with runtime NVOOS_* env injection through serve.mjs (secret-free startup logging, < escaping) and an opt-in NVOOS_AUTO_CONNECT kiosk mode.

• 🐞 Coverage & contract drift (PRs #7035, #7036). The three model-foundry exporters' produces handoff side corrected to null (corpus schema identifiers aren't ID-handoff keys); the enable_webchat_integration toolkit count fixed (36 → 37); the Pro coverage manifest regenerated (+ wp-mcp-ai-fnb-assistant-seeder).

• 📝 Docs & skills (PRs #7015, #7016, #7019, #7023, #7024, #7028, #7038). Two new coding-time skills (71 → 72: mcp-ai-artcraft-ops — ArtCraft MCP reverse-engineering/rebuild guide; design-performance-audit — the GTmetrix → WPCode optimization pipeline) + Rust editor config (Zed + VS Code) + proposal docs 068/070/071/072/074/075/076 + the 1.2.4 readme.txt/README gap closure (#7019, which also encoded the check against recurrence in the updates skill). Sub-project: nvoos-content-graph 1.0.11 prep for wp.org (#7014 — own changelog/readme/POT track, flag-not-edited).

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.5 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.5. No addon version moves in-window (content-graph 1.0.11 + CG-AI-platform 2.0.0 ZIP rebuilds are sub-project/build-only). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~354 base + ~1,376 Pro (~1,730 total — +34 Pro) — the 24-tool GTmetrix toolkit (#7026) + the 10-tool F&B Phase 9 wave (#7032); live registry authoritative; lib/core/sub-project tools never counted. Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged — the two new skills are coding-time only). Coding-time agent skills: 71 → 72. Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.3 oOS root set (see §2.5).

v1.2.4 — October 12, 2026

MCP Quirk Hardening, Chart Recipes, Model Foundry Phase 1 & the Content Graph SPA Page

• 🛡 MCP client-quirk hardening (PR #7007, Proposal 066). Every advertised tools/list schema now carries a root type: object and hazardous schemas are skipped-with-reason instead of dropping the whole catalog (bracketed property names, >20 KB schemas, root combinators, >64-char slugs — the new WP_MCP_AI_Tool_Schema_Auditor); nvoos_get_profile attaches structuredContent whenever its outputSchema is advertised (Codex turns declared-outputSchema text-only results into errors); the registry fires wp_mcp_ai_mcp_tools_list_changed (once per request) backing listChanged; JetEngine MCP + MCP App discovery caches cap at the server ttlMs and invalidate on notifications/tools/list_changed; the CG-AI standalone mirror ports the hardening. Site Health direct test + debug field; 44 new tests on WP 6.9 + 7.1.

• 📈 nvoos-chart recipe rendering (PRs #7003, #7005). Fenced nvoos-chart JSON renders as real HTML/CSS charts on all three chat surfaces (no SVG/canvas/CDN) — 29 types (v1's bar/column/line/area/dot/donut/heatmap + v2's histogram, box, strip, stem, violin, pie, waffle, unit, diverging, lollipop, dumbbell, slope, bullet, pyramid, waterfall, candlestick, gantt, sparkline, radial, dial, race, grid); invalid fences degrade to escaped code blocks; sanitisation by construction (extracted before marked/DOMPurify, createElement + textContent); resource caps (40 labels / 12 series / 120 points / 240 cells); theme-adaptive, dark-mode-aware, prefers-reduced-motion; grouped-bar rendering fixed. +1 base tool create_chart_fence (server-side validator mirror) + the design-chart-recipes skill + byte-identical conformance fixtures across the three suites. Deferred (plan §12): race replay, SPA CSV copy, render_chart_preview REST, mermaid spike, a11y scan.

• 🧠 Model Foundry Phase 1 — Corpus Foundry (PR #7008, Proposal 067). +3 Pro tools — export_trajectory_corpus (harness traces → OpenAI tool-calling rows), export_preference_pairs (DPO rows, R4, min_margin skip), export_plugin_docs_corpus (docs-hub uploads or a symlink-safe validated dir → docs_v1 rows with per-document provenance) — behind the new deactivatable model_foundry Pro module + the ai_ml preset. The WP_MCP_AI_Corpus_Governance engine is consent fail-closed (_wp_mcp_ai_training_consent; caps → exact → fuzzy → opt-in semantic dedup → PII scrub → deterministic content-hash holdout split → R12 provenance → guarded sharded write — holdout rows never enter train.jsonl; skip-never-truncate). Consent UI ships in Phase 3 (wp_mcp_ai_model_foundry_assistant_consented until then); Phases 0/2–6 deferred in the implementation plan. mcp-ai-wpoos-model-foundry skill + docs/features/model-foundry.md.

• 🗺 Content Graph explorer page in the Pro SPA (PR #6998). #/knowledge-graph in the admin surface + standalone Vite app — the plugin's Cytoscape explorer vendored with a documented wrapper-only delta (IIFE → exported factory, jQuery-namespaced listeners, destroy() teardown, body byte-identical to upstream); jQuery bundled into the lazy 213 KB-gzip chunk. The CG plugin gains a read-only GET /graph/visual-config route + assistant-credential read auth (write routes stay manage_options-only — sub-project track, flag-not-edited; its own changelog/readme.txt updated in-window). Trade-off: the admin IIFE grows 563 KB → 1.2 MB — entry split deferred.

• 🌐 Standalone SPA deploy & auth hardening (PRs #6999, #7000, #7002, #7004, #7006). Cookie-mode login re-scoped through the proxy (absolute wp-login.php form actions/redirect_to broke cross-host deploys — serve.mjs buffers only the login page and rewrites them to the app origin; the Vite dev proxy mirrors it); the vendored explorer's $.ajax calls carry bearer/basic/guest/worker auth via a new ajaxPrefilter (no vendored changes — byte-identity preserved); tsconfig paths + CI build-verify unblock the Velocity deploy; serve.mjs gains a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang (Velocity executes the entry through sh) + a server.on('error') handler with an EADDRINUSE hint; the Velocity doc gains the entry-path callout.

• 🛡 SPA static-server headers (PR #7009). X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff + Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=86400 on the static branch only (ramp to 31536000 after a clean week; no includeSubDomains/preload); CSP Report-Only template ships commented (the inline Cloudflare challenge script would break script-src 'self').

• 🍽 F&B toolkit toggle restored (PR #7010). enable_fnb_toolkit was defined but never listed in the features subtab group — render() only outputs fields in the active group, so the checkbox never appeared and the toolkit couldn't be enabled from the UI. Added to the subtab fields + memory map (64 MB) + footer counter; regression test; toolkit-count expectation 35 → 36.

• 📝 Docs & skills (this pass). User-directed partial @since reconciliation — the literal @since 2.x.0 placeholder family (never recorded in OI-1) corrected to its true shipped versions (1.1.43/1.1.51/1.1.54/1.2.4, blame-verified, incl. three @deprecated lines) and the new model-foundry 1.6.0 + chart-fence 1.4.0 tags corrected to 1.2.4 — the mcp-apps 1.9.x module family and all historical OI-1 groups stay parked (issue #5968). Coding-time skills 66 → 69 in-window (design-chart-recipes, mcp-ai-wpoos-content-graph-spa, mcp-ai-wpoos-model-foundry); AGENTS.md + copilot-instructions updated by the introducing PRs, the README repo-map fold-in + the §1.5 design-* 34 → 35 correction land here; in-window spa-ui/content-graph-spa/test-suite skill edits reconciled.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.4 across all version-bearing files (plugin header, WP_MCP_AI_VERSION, WP_MCP_AI_PRO_VERSION, package.json, readme.txt Stable tag). Pro addon: 1.2.4. No addon version moves in-window (content-graph 1.0.10, CG-AI 1.0.4, CG-AI-platform 2.0.0 ZIP rebuilds — build-only, unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~354 base + ~1,342 Pro (~1,696 total — +1 base +3 Pro) — create_chart_fence (#7005) + the three model-foundry exporters (#7008); live registry authoritative; lib/core/sub-project tools never counted. Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 66 → 69. Security classes: 12 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.2 oOS root set (6 files — 3 ZIPs + 3 .sha256; the 1.2.3 set stays until the 1.2.4 ZIPs build).

v1.2.3 — October 10, 2026

CORS Same-Origin Enforcement, Standalone SPA WordPress Login & REST Auth Fixes

• 🛡 CORS same-origin enforcement (PR #6986). WordPress core rest_send_cors_headers() (rest_pre_serve_request, priority 10) reflects any Origin header back with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true on every REST response — which silently overrode the Security → Network "Same Origin" setting, so a hardened site still echoed arbitrary origins. The new WP_MCP_AI_CORS_Guard (12th includes/security/ class) hooks priority 20 and, in site mode, replaces the reflected header with the configured policy: exact-allowlisted origins (site origin + the new cors_allowed_origins setting, one origin per line + the wp_mcp_ai_cors_allowed_origins filter) are echoed with credentials; everything else gets the site's own origin with credentials off; star mode keeps core's allow-all reflection. Enforcement covers the plugin's REST routes (/mcp-ai/v1 by default, extensible via wp_mcp_ai_cors_guard_route_prefixes); the MCP/OPTIONS/SSE/controller emitters share one resolve_allow_origin(). 20 new tests; 138 related REST/security tests pass.

• 🔐 Standalone SPA WordPress login (PR #6993, Proposal 064). A fourth auth mode for examples/nvoos-pro-spa-vite — WordPress login via an Application Password (Basic auth over REST): wp/v2/users/me?context=edit validation with a UTF-8-safe Basic header, and the real user + capabilities mounted into the runtime, so the deployed app (chat.nvoos.cloud) gets the full admin surface with real server-side capability enforcement instead of the bearer mode's client-side manage_options. The Basic header attaches only to requests targeting the configured site origin (never the media worker or third parties). Plugin-side gaps fixed by live verification: chat_transcripts_permissions_check() skips the nonce for Authorization-header requests (CSRF-safe by construction), and permissions_check()/permissions_check_assistant_list() gained Application Password branches (same capability gates, admin bypass + rate limiting intact). 39 PHPUnit tests; full live matrix verified.

• 🛰 OOS streaming CORS fixed (PR #6993). The OOS engine's SSE emitter (lib/core SseHandler) sent no CORS headers — every cross-origin browser chat stream on OOS-routed sites was blocked (pre-existing; bearer/guest modes too). WP_MCP_AI_CORS_Guard::emit_stream_cors_headers() fires from the WP adapter before handleChatStreaming(); lib/core stays framework-agnostic.

• 🔑 SPA REST auth: credentials & session nonce (PR #6990 — closes #6987, #6985). Transcripts/approvals now validate a pure assistant credential (Bearer cred_… or raw header) via the shared WP_MCP_AI_REST::validate_request_credential() — reads scoped to the credential's issuing assistant (mismatched assistant_id → 403); approve/deny stay manage_options-only so a leaked credential can't bypass the HITL gate. handle_session_nonce() re-binds identity from the auth cookie (wp_validate_auth_cookie) before wp_create_nonce() — core's rest_cookie_check_errors had zeroed the session user, so the minted nonce failed rest_cookie_invalid_nonce on retry; cookie-less requests still get the guest nonce. 10 new tests; 38/38 on WP 7.1.3 + WP 7.2-alpha.

• 📅 Pro Schedule Manager multi-recipient notify_email (PR #6991 — closes #6642, #6651). Comma/space/semicolon-separated recipient lists normalize through normalize_notify_email() (reusing sanitize_email_recipients() behind the class_exists guard) with per-address Symfony validation; plan_schedules_from_workflow uses the same normalizer; the create/edit inputs moved type="email" → type="text" with a comma-separated hint. The five CRM slugs land in tool-status.txt as dev (OI-5 closed) and the pagination-fields fixture accumulation is fixed (setUp ordering — #6975 item 3). 136/136 batch on WP 6.9 + 7.1.2.

• 🌐 Standalone SPA cookie mode + production proxy (PR #6994). Cookie mode died with a JSON parse error wherever the app origin had no proxy (the SPA fallback answers unknown paths with index.html + HTTP 200) — a probe now verifies the origin serves the WP REST API and readJson() refuses non-JSON with actionable errors. The zero-dependency scripts/serve.mjs production proxy (/wp-json, /wp-admin, /wp-login.php, /wp-includes when NVOOS_TARGET_SITE is set) streams SSE, rewrites login Location/redirect_to, strips Set-Cookie Domain, and 502s cleanly on upstream failure; App/EmbeddedApp are React.lazy in the shell (entry 501 KB → 196 KB minified, 148 → 63 KB gzip).

• ⚙️ .env loading for the standalone SPA (PR #6996). defineConfig(({ mode }) => …) + loadEnv(mode, envDir, '') (empty prefix → non-VITE_ keys load) so NVOOS_TARGET_SITE/NVOOS_WORKER_URL come from .env files; scripts/dev.mjs resolves shell > .env > http://localhost:8000 precedence; scripts/serve.mjs intentionally stays process-env-only (Velocity runtime env vars).

• 📦 npm package ESM dists fixed (PR #6984). nvoos-slash-commands, nvoos-dom-batcher, and nvoos-audio published dists that were syntactically invalid ESM (export statements inside unclosed IIFEs — the strip regexes anchored at ^ missed docblock-led sources). Generators fixed, all 22 manifests modernized to "type": "module" (CJS scripts → adapt-for-npm.cjs), all 23 packages rebuilt with valid dists, and the new examples/nvoos-vite-demo/ (Vite + TS sample over 8 packages with a dev-only mock SSE server) ships. The three fixed packages bump to 0.1.0-alpha.4 — publish deferred (needs npm auth), then the demo's vendor/ aliases drop.

• 🏗 Build (#6988/#6995). The spa-standalone sync/deploy workflows pin main at git init (git init -q -b main — bare git init named the branch from init.defaultBranch, so the push died with refspec main does not match) and assemble the deploy tree under examples/ so Velocity's root directory finds package.json (chat.nvoos.cloud was stuck serving the initial build).

• 📝 Docs (#6989, #6992). The CORS guard + docs/operations/deployment/nvoos-pro-spa-velocity-setup.md deploy guide (root-directory pitfall, build/entry commands, VITE_DEFAULT_SITE_URL, auth modes, the §5 CORS allowlist) and the one-shot docs/project/open-issues-triage-2026-10-10.md snapshot (36 remaining issues tiered A–D; five closed in-session).

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.3 across all version-bearing files. Pro addon: 1.2.3. No addon version moves in-window (docs-hub 0.5.3, content-graph 1.0.10, CG-AI-platform 2.0.0 ZIP rebuilds — build-only, unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff in-window). Tool count: ~353 base + ~1,339 Pro (~1,692 total — unchanged) — no registry diffs in-window; live registry authoritative. Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 66 (unchanged — three updated in place: plugin, spa-ui, updates). Security classes: 11 → 12 (WP_MCP_AI_CORS_Guard). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.2.1 oOS build set (30 files — 9 root + 2 optional-components + 19 toolkit-addons) with the blueprints/ollama-demo.json URL carried to the complete-1.2.2 ZIP.

Chat Profiles Read-Only Mode, F&B Assistant Packs & Google OAuth Production Readiness

• 🛡 Chat profiles with server-enforced read-only mode (PR #6977, Proposal 015). Two built-ins — write (non-restrictive default) and read-only (blocks tools carrying write/state-changing/destructive/irreversible/financial-impact/access-control-change/mass-email/data-destruction capability flags). Profiles resolve server-side per request (user meta → site default → write fail-safe) so a client can never widen its own grant; client-sent profiles honoured only for wp_mcp_ai_change_chat_profile (→ manage_options) holders; downgrades allowed for any logged-in user; guests default to read-only. The new 11th security class WP_MCP_AI_Read_Only_Profile_Gate hooks wp_mcp_ai_before_tool_execution at priority 0 before the destructive-ops gate (deny → ask → allow; 403 WP_MCP_AI_Chat_Profile_Blocked envelope; audit events chat_profile_blocked/chat_profile_escalation_attempt; advisory system-prompt hint). REST GET/POST /mcp-ai/v1/chat-profile (deliberately not a tool — the agent can't self-elevate mid-run), wp mcp-ai chat-profile list|get|set|audit-flags, settings, and the Pro SPA v2 profile selectors. 49/49 tests on WP 6.9 + 7.1; Phase D gaps documented (queue-time async enforcement; confirm_write deferred).

• 🍽 F&B assistant packs A1–A4 (PR #6982, Proposal 062 Phase 4). Four canonical v1 nvoos-assistant bundles (addons/pro/presets/assistant-packs/fnb/ — A1 Manager, A2 Kitchen & Bar Stock, A3 Financial, A4 Content) with spec-verbatim G-01…G-12 instructions; seeder wp mcp-ai pro fnb seed-assistants (--dry-run/--mode/--status/--porcelain/--include-image-tools) importing through the shared WP_MCP_AI_Assistant_Portability engine; READ + DRAFT tiers, ACT off; fnb_audit_log A1-only; A4 image tools off by default. Standalone 4/4 validator + 45 tests / 192 assertions. Phases 5b/6/8/9/10 still pending.

• 🔐 Google OAuth production readiness (PR #6981). Drive scopes unified on the non-sensitive drive.file scope across all four flows behind the wp_mcp_ai_google_drive_oauth_scope filter — removes Drive from the CASA verification surface (full-Drive reads remain available via the filter); Calendar defaults to Minimal for new installs; upstream token revocation on Gmail/Drive disconnect; publishing-status warnings on the Gmail/Drive footers; production-verification plan + customer guide docs.

• 🐞 Pro SPA v2 fixes (#6974/#6976). The default-assistant fallback delegated to a nonexistent class — new wp_mcp_ai_pro_get_default_assistant_id() + non-admin directory visibility (assistant_visible_to_current_user(), cache bypass, no hidden-default advertising) + the assistantSelector runtime flag; the embedded sidebar hamburger moved out of the sidebar and the status-bar Sessions figure tracks localStorage live (useStorageUsage).

• 🛠 Workflow-builder TS parity + full JS rebuild (#6979). exportWorkflow/importWorkflow + the DFS validateWorkflow ported into the TypeScript edition (Export/Import called undefined at runtime), animated edges restored, five dead .js duplicates dropped, and every JS package + addon bundle rebuilt.

• 🔧 Test drift fixed (#6978/#6980). The F&B oracle's key-name/float-delta drift and the CG-AI platform evolved-prompt guest-profile pollution — both lessons encoded in the coding-time skills.

• 🏗 Build (#6970/#6972, c9d54bd273). The SPA addon tag-release flow works (new release-spa-addons.yml; the workflow's inputs.create_release == true string bug fixed); the demo-videos pipeline is manual-only until CI-verified (issue #6971); the F&B oracle path, workflow-preset edges, and coverage-manifest CI failures fixed.

• 📦 Sub-projects. nvoos-docs-hub 0.5.2 → 0.5.3 (#6966 checkout config object name — the modal was dead on arrival; #6967 rebuild reliability — the live cache is no longer cleared on settings saves/updates, atomic staging promotion serves the previous index during rebuilds; #6968 pre-submission pass — PCP 0 blocking errors, 5 allowlisted OffloadedContent rows + the documented NonPrefixedTraitFound warning; tag docs-hub-v0.5.3 pushed and 0.5.3 is live on the wp.org directory). nvoos-content-graph 1.0.9 → 1.0.10 (#6973 — excluded CCTs/CPTs now actually leave the graph via pruneExcludedSources() with a post_id > 0 guard + chunked pruneNodesByTypes(); opt-in CPTs captured; auto-rebuild skips excluded types; 183 tests / 801 assertions; run Rebuild Graph once after deploying 1.0.10).

• 📝 Docs & skills (#6969, this pass). Proposal 063 (PhreshOS Pro toolkit + Cloudways Velocity addon) lands — docs only, five decision points required. Five coding-time skills updated in place: plugin (×3 copies + RELEASE-NOTES), wporg-submission (docs-hub 0.5.3 + CG 1.0.10), checkout-integration (0.5.3/1.0.10 refs), test-suite (patterns 68 → 69), updates.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.2 across all version-bearing files. Pro addon: 1.2.2. nvoos-content-graph: 1.0.9 → 1.0.10 (#6973 — sub-project track, flag-not-edited). Docs Hub addon: 0.5.2 → 0.5.3 (#6968 — the 1.2.1 pass's tag-pending follow-up completed). Toolkit Shell: 0.3.0 (unchanged). Schedule Anything SPA: 0.2.0 (unchanged). MCP Gateway: 0.1.1 (unchanged). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged). Fleet Operator: 1.0.0 (unchanged). Media Studio: 0.6.1 (unchanged). SaaS Controller: 0.3.0 (unchanged). Design System addon: 0.3.0 (unchanged). ChatGPT Plugin addon: 0.1.0 (unchanged). Chat SPA: 0.7.0 (unchanged — the FOR_REVIEWERS row's 0.6.0 was pre-existing drift, corrected this pass). Comic Reader: 0.5.0 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph-ai: 1.0.4 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph-ai-platform: 2.0.0 (unchanged — the v2.0.0 ZIP build commits are build-only). nvoos-content-graph-pro: 1.0.0 (unchanged). Checkout API: 0.1.2 (unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff in-window). Tool count: ~353 base + ~1,339 Pro (~1,692 total — unchanged) — no registry diffs in-window; the chat-profile REST endpoint is deliberately not a tool and the F&B assistant packs are bundles, not tools; live registry authoritative. Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 66 (unchanged — five updated in place). Security classes: 10 → 11 (WP_MCP_AI_Read_Only_Profile_Gate). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.1.99 oOS build set (30 files — 9 root + 2 optional-components + 19 toolkit-addons) + the superseded docs-hub v0.5.1/v0.5.2 and content-graph v1.0.8 addon ZIPs (4 files).

v1.2.1 — October 8, 2026

Food & Beverage Pro Toolkit, Docs Hub Tools & Checkout, MCP Server Identity

• 🍽 Food & Beverage Management Pro Toolkit (PR #6962, Proposal 062). 21 fnb_* Pro tools gated behind enable_fnb_toolkit (default off) — read/search/calculate/compare/variance/stock/waste/days-of-cover/weekend/price/budget/margin/duplicate-invoice/labour/utilities/report/drafts/audit — on a deterministic metric engine (M-01…M-21 + Kasavana & Smith menu-engineering quadrants + as-of price joins + incurred-vs-paid split) with a 17-table registry (column-alias drift tolerance), Drive + CSV fixture readers, report builder R-01…R-13, and a drafts-only writer. Grounded in the Surf Club Midigama spec + demo workbook; 20/20 Check-totals oracle PASS (food cost % 26.88%, beverage % 28.15%, total opex 9,988,745.79, cost per cover 4,092.07; all 59 menu items classified); 18 fixture CSVs + a 243-value oracle ship with a standalone smoke-run.php + the ready PHPUnit oracle. 5 schedule presets + 2 workflow presets + SA Toolkit Manager + WP-CLI. Phases 4/5b/6/8/9/10 deferred (assistant packs, schedule install, MCP exposure, demo dry-run — needs Drive folder IDs + service-account scoping + the DeepSeek demo-model confirmation —, native CPT/CCT storage + the Appendix A fnb_pr_* QMS lifecycle, channel/social/booking wiring). The new mcp-ai-wpoos-toolkit-creation skill documents the build pattern.

• 📄 Docs Hub content management tools (PR #6964). Five docs_hub_* Pro tools in the Document Generation toolkit manage the Docs Hub uploads content folder — write (YAML frontmatter + auto index rebuild), read, list, delete (dry-run by default), and rebuild (sync/async) — through a shared traversal-safe validator (no ../absolute/drive-letter paths, realpath containment, the 2 MB cap mirroring the Docs Hub scanner); active-plugin integration via uploads_docs_dir() + NV_oOS_Docs_Hub_Rebuild_Job, graceful degradation when inactive; manage_options for writes, edit_posts for reads. 32 tests / 105 assertions on WP 6.9 + 7.1.

• 🪪 MCP server identity discovery (PR #6956). The new base tool mcp_server_info (+1 base) reports server name, plugin version, mode, Pro-active flag, site name/URL, MCP endpoint, and the optional bridge name — a deliberately non-sensitive payload (read capability; the wp_mcp_ai_mcp_server_identity filter docblock forbids secrets). list_mcp_tools gains the shared _meta identity block (opt-out include_meta=false) and the X-MCP-Bridge-Name header flows sanitized + 120-char capped into $context['bridge_name'] — informational only, never used for authorization. 9/9 tests; the CG-AI ListMcpToolsTool sync is a Pending-sync tracker row.

• 💳 Docs Hub checkout upsell (PR #6963, addon 0.5.1 → 0.5.2). The Content Graph commerce stack ports into the wp.org Docs Hub plugin: an "Unlock AI-powered features / Get NV oOS Complete" card, a five-class includes/checkout/ stack (config, vendor client for the nvoos-checkout API, autoload-free license store, Plugin_Upgrader installer with base-plugin conflict guard, admin-only REST POST /nvoos-docs/v1/payments/{session,verify} + GET …/health with per-user throttling and the already-licensed short-circuit — no second charge possible), and the nvoos-dh-* purchase modal (on-demand Stripe.js, ToS/refund consent + buyer email + EU VAT, pending-intent recovery, manual ZIP download). == External Services == disclosure + commerce review notes; POT 193 → 271 msgids; PCP PASS. Follow-up: tag docs-hub-v0.5.2 to build the ZIP, then the SVN upload. The new mcp-ai-wpoos-checkout-integration skill documents the port.

• 🐞 Skill-catalogue gaps fixed (PR #6954). Subfolder sidecars (references//scripts/) install via one Git-Tree walk (non-executable extensions, 40-file cap, best-effort); GitHub token support (WP_MCP_AI_SKILL_CATALOGUE_GITHUB_TOKEN → filter → the existing github_access_token setting — token never sent to other hosts) with anonymous enrichment capped at 10 skills per source and stopped on the first 403/429; the empty VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills default removed. 17/17 tests; CG Pro mirror with the documented per-mode deviations. (Release notes pre-staged into the 1.1.99 section in-window.)

• 🔇 Elementor partial-deploy warnings fixed (PR #6961). class_exists( $widget_class, false ) keeps the widget-registration loop off the Composer autoloader — a partially-deployed plugin copy no longer spams two PHP warnings per missing class per elementor/widgets/register fire; behaviour is identical when files exist (they are require_once'd explicitly).

• 📦 Sub-projects. nvoos-content-graph 1.0.8 → 1.0.9 (#6959) — the wp.org re-submission review pass (cron scheduling on init, packaging tri-sync, free-base-version disclosure, regenerated POT; PCP 0 ERRORs / 161 known-category WARNINGs) with the checkout-modal polish (#6958 — Stripe loading spinner, the filterable free base-version link, the honest dev-status note). Proposal 061 (MCP Registry & Directory Publishing, docs-only) — Phase 2 executed: bridge published to the official MCP Registry + npm 0.1.0-alpha.4; the gateway remotes publish stays gated on decision D6.

• 📝 Docs & skills (PRs #6955, #6960, #6957). Three coding-time skills ship in-window (63 → 66): mcp-ai-wpoos-spa-ui, mcp-ai-wpoos-toolkit-creation, mcp-ai-wpoos-checkout-integration (all count surfaces updated in-window); the content-graph 1.0.9 wp.org lessons fold into mcp-ai-wpoos-wporg-submission + mcp-ai-wpoos-test-suite (patterns 67 → 68); the docs-hub rsync line-continuation CI abort is fixed (#6957).

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.2.1 across all version-bearing files (the version-jump decision — the ROADMAP's planned 1.2.0 scope was delivered early across v1.1.1–v1.1.35, so the first 1.2-line release is numbered 1.2.1; recorded in the open-items tracker). Pro addon: 1.2.1. nvoos-content-graph: 1.0.8 → 1.0.9 (#6959 — sub-project track, flag-not-edited). Docs Hub addon: 0.5.1 → 0.5.2 (#6963). Toolkit Shell: 0.3.0 (unchanged).

Checkout API: 0.1.2 (unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~353 base + ~1,339 Pro (~1,692 total — +1 base +26 Pro) — mcp_server_info (base, #6956) + the 21 gated fnb_* tools (#6962 — the v1.1.89 ECA precedent counts gated tools) + the 5 docs_hub_* tools (#6964); live registry authoritative.

Coding-time agent skills: 66 (63 → 66 in-window — spa-ui, toolkit-creation, checkout-integration; the count bookkeeping landed with the introducing PRs). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.1.98 oOS build set (30 files — 9 root + 2 optional-components + 19 toolkit-addons).

SPA UI Stack Enhancement, Gateway OAuth 2.1 & the Docs Hub Playground

• 🧩 SPA UI stack enhancement (PR #6952, Proposal 060). toolkit-shell 0.2.0 → 0.3.0 — Radix Dialog/ConfirmDialog/DropdownMenu/Select/Tabs/Checkbox + CVA Button primitives, a TanStack TableView (sortable headers, ConfirmDialog deletes), a @dnd-kit KanbanView (persisted reorder + cross-column moves via updateResource(group_by)), a react-hook-form + zod FormView (runtime schema from the manifest, per-field role="alert" errors), sonner toasts, 14 --nds-* design-token references, and an ESLint dual-React guard (bundled React 19 off @wordpress/element); schedule-anything-spa → 0.2.0 — Tailwind v3 → v4 (@theme inline NDS aliases), 16 shadcn-style primitives, @xyflow/react v12, route-level code splitting, @wordpress/i18n, axe + jsx-a11y gate. Shipped suites 31/31 + 23/23 (vitest + jsdom + Testing Library); three bugs caught pre-ship (zod 0-coercion, RHF resolver-identity churn, Kanban a11y).

• 🔐 MCP Gateway OAuth 2.1 resource server (PR #6945, Phase 1). With GATEWAY_OAUTH_ISSUER set, the gateway becomes an RFC 9728 protected resource alongside static API keys (inert otherwise): RFC 9728 metadata (GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource + /mcp variant), 401 WWW-Authenticate challenges with resource_metadata + scopes, zero-dependency JWT validation (node:crypto RS256/384/512 + ES256/384, in-memory JWKS cache with rotation refetch, strict iss/aud/exp/nbf/scope, fail-closed), scope-based site binding (site:<slug> mirrors static-key semantics; site:read advertised), and no token passthrough (the gateway keeps exchanging for per-site Fleet Operator tokens). 58/58 tests. Phases 2–5 deferred — Auth0 provisioning (RFC 8414 + DCR + PKCE), scripted PKCE e2e + ChatGPT test, server.json + registry submission, deployment guide.

• 🎮 Docs Hub Playground demo + wp.org Live Preview (PRs #6944, #6946–#6949). The "Project Asteria" pattern (#6662) applied to Docs Hub: an idempotent local-first seed (6 Markdown pages + a published /docs/ page embedding [nvoos_docs]), a standalone demo.json, the Live Preview blueprint.json (already live in SVN r3731775), and a generator script — blueprints/ dev-only across all three exclusion lists. Self-activate fix (#6946) — the preview loader installs without activating, so both runPHP steps activate_plugin() with an include_once fallback (reproduced + verified with @wp-playground/cli@3.1.54). Wiki seed + full-page SPA (#6947) — a 10-page wiki seed (the readme slug fixes the empty Live Preview) and /docs/ embedding ONLY [nvoos_docs] (no-title template, Additional-CSS full-bleed, demo-scoped skip-link removal). Zero margins (#6949) + the Playground badge (#6948).

• 🔧 Gateway listing prep, icon & Claude Code plugin (PRs #6941–#6943). GPL-3.0 LICENSE + license field + docs/operations/deployment/mcp-gateway-directory-submission.md (mcpservers.org / mcp.directory / pulsemcp); the mcp-gateway.svg icon (+ /assets static serving, landing logo/favicon, Dockerfile copy); the .claude-plugin/plugin.json (sensitive userConfig → MCP Authorization header) + /connect command + gateway skill; the Velocity guide §5/§6 marked to reality.

• 🔍 Figma Agent Skills in the default catalogues (PR #6938). figma/mcp-server-guide joins the Pro Skill Catalogue default sources (14 Figma skills + 2 workflow skills, on-demand install); normalise_manifest_skills() dedupes by name (the figma repo mirrors the same skills in two trees — 28 colliding entries would overwrite each other; shortest path wins). CG Pro mirror with the documented per-mode deviations; existing installs see the source after Restore Default Catalogues. Catalogue gaps fixed in the same release (follow-up): subfolder sidecars install (references//scripts/ trees — non-executable extensions only, 40-file cap, best-effort), GitHub token support (constant → filter → the existing github_access_token setting; token only ever sent to GitHub hosts) with anonymous enrichment capped at 10 skills per source and stopped on the first 403/429, and the empty VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills default removed. 17/17 catalogue tests.

• 🐞 Gmail body extraction fixed (PR #6939). extract_body() walks candidates in preferred-format order, skips empty parts, falls back text/plain ↔ text/html, searches message/rfc822 parts last (forwarded emails), decodes base64 transfer-encoded parts; normalize_message() reports body_source + body_empty_reason so assistants get actionable reasons. 27/27 tests.

• 📦 Complete-ZIP blueprint stripping fixed (PRs #6936, #6940). The 1.1.98 Complete ZIP shipped 0 blueprint JSONs (Pro ZIP: 65) — bin/build-plugin-zip.sh and release.yml's COMMON_EXCLUDES carried their own unanchored --exclude 'examples'; both root-anchored + a hard CI guard (Assert blueprint examples present in full build); the blueprints empty state distinguishes "library missing" from "toolkit disabled".

• 🛡 Security & fixes. Fleet Operator tokens are no longer printed in plaintext (readonly type="password" input with Show/Hide + Copy, credential blocks behind <details>, #6950 — the console site needs the updated fleet-operator build deployed); the media worker's synthetic external targets (STATUS_EXTERNAL_TARGETS, synthetic-only mode, sweeper stays the single transition owner) + the split-brain checkedAt fix + downSince recovery clear (#6941, 46/46 status tests); the docs-hub rsync \-continuation CI abort (#6951).

• 📝 Docs (PR #6947). mcp-ai-wpoos-test-suite gains pattern 67 (loader-exclude + --list-tests), mcp-ai-wpoos-playground-demos gains the docs-hub demo + wp.org no-activation trap, mcp-ai-wpoos-wporg-submission gains the Live Preview blueprints section, and the nvoos-operations + mcp-gateway addon skills are updated.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.1.99 across all version-bearing files. Pro addon: 1.1.99. Toolkit Shell: 0.2.0 → 0.3.0; Schedule Anything SPA: 0.1.0 → 0.2.0. MCP Gateway: 0.1.1 (unchanged — the window's five gateway PRs ride the shipped line; addons/mcp-gateway/CHANGELOG.md gains an Unreleased section). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged — #6941 defers the bump to the release process). Docs Hub addon: 0.5.1 (unchanged). Fleet Operator: 1.0.0 (unchanged). Media Studio: 0.6.1 (unchanged). SaaS Controller: 0.3.0 (unchanged). Design System addon: 0.3.0 (unchanged). ChatGPT Plugin addon: 0.1.0 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph: 1.0.8 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph-ai: 1.0.4 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph-ai-platform: 2.0.0 (unchanged). nvoos-content-graph-pro: 1.0.0 (unchanged — #6938's mirror verified byte-identical). Checkout API: 0.1.2 (unchanged). Comic Reader addon: 0.5.0 (unchanged). Chat SPA: 0.7.0 + Canvas Toolkit: 0.2.0 (unchanged). Model catalog: v2026.10.03 (unchanged — zero catalog diff). Tool count: ~352 base + ~1,313 Pro (~1,665 total — unchanged) — zero registry-map diff in-window (live registry authoritative). Provider count: 18 (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (unchanged). Coding-time agent skills: 63 (unchanged). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.1.97 oOS set (6 root files — 3 ZIPs + 3 .sha256) + the superseded nvoos-toolkit-shell-v0.2.0.zip (the v0.3.0 ZIP built by the build-spa-addons run and committed to alpha-working post-branch-cut).

v1.1.98 — October 6, 2026

Figma-to-Elementor Pipeline, Unified Blueprints Fixes & the Dependabot Sweep

• 🎨 Figma-to-Elementor design-to-build pipeline (PR #6934, Proposals 057–059 — docs + skill, no PHP). The 7-stage agentic pipeline (Scope → Read → Plan → Tokenize → Build → Verify → Handoff) rides the shipped MCP Apps / OAuth / A2A / per-toolkit MCP server machinery — Figma MCP on the read side, Elementor MCP on the write side, single-assistant and split topologies — with the normative stage rules (get_design_context first, tokenize-before-build, drafts only, never publish, Figma read-only), a build-manifest contract + JSON Schema (reference/build-manifest.schema.json), and the design-file contract. The new bundled skill design-figma-to-elementor (Zed + includes/bundled-skills/ mirrors, byte-identical) and the user guide ship with it — coding-time skills 62 → 63, base bundled 75 → 76. Proposal 058 (transactional DTCG token import) is the user-facing follow-up; Proposal 057 (SPA toolkit design-file system) is parked by decision as reference; Phase 3 (end-to-end demo + Verify seed test) is deferred on live endpoints (Figma account + Elementor 4.3+ site).

• 🧩 Unified Blueprints fixed (PR #6933). (1) The blueprint library was stripped from release builds — the unanchored examples/ (.gitattributes) / examples (.distignore) exclusions matched every directory named examples, removing all 65 toolkit blueprint JSONs + the per-toolkit import tools from git archive/release ZIPs; both rules are now root-anchored (/examples, /assets/examples). (2) The page listed every toolkit on disk, contradicting its own empty state and the import tools' is_available() gates — a new $toolkit_enable_keys map mirrors each import tool's gate, get_all_blueprints_grouped() skips disabled toolkits, both AJAX handlers (install, get_details) reject disabled toolkits, and cards fall back to post_title for Healthcare-style JSONs.

• 🔧 Gateway sync dispatch + changelog (PR #6927). The #6925 merge push produced zero workflow runs (the squashed message absorbed a CI-suppression marker), leaving nvoos-mcp-gateway:main on 0.1.0 — sync-mcp-gateway.yml gains a workflow_dispatch trigger and a version guard (syncs skip when the incoming package.json is older than the mirror tip, so out-of-order runs can never roll the public mirror backwards); addons/mcp-gateway/CHANGELOG.md now tracks 0.1.0 → 0.1.1.

• 🔒 Dependabot sweep (PR #6931) — 138 of 166 open npm alerts resolved. Bounded in-major bumps across 17 trees: axios ≥1.20.0 <2 (51), brace-expansion@^1 ≥1.1.21 <2 (41), source-map-js ≥1.2.2 <2 (16), dompurify (8), proxy-addr ≥2.0.8 <3 (4), compression ≥1.8.2 <2 (3), joi (3), katex ^0.18.2 (3), moment ≥2.31.0 <3 (3), simple-git ≥4.0.1 <5 + @simple-git/argv-parser ≥2.0.1 <3 (4), basic-ftp ≥6.2.1 <7 (1), postcss-selector-parser@^7 ≥7.1.6 <8, webpack-dev-middleware ≥7.4.6 <8 — with npm-pack evidence for every cross-version move. 28 deferred in issue #6930; the dashboard is dismissed (138 fix_started + 28 tolerable_risk → 0 open alerts; main clears once alpha-working merges).

• 📝 Docs (PRs #6929, #6932). PR-hygiene + sync-recovery lessons land in the mcp-ai-wpoos-updates skill (fresh origin/alpha-working cuts, PRs against alpha-working, no CI-skip markers in commit messages — with recovery steps) + the gateway deployment guide §7; the design-ai-assistant-admin skill gains the NV oOS agent-enablement detection section (Zed sessions) with the mcp-ai-wpoos-plugin cross-reference.

• 🛡 Memory-leak & unbounded-growth hardening (PR #6937) — 29 verified findings fixed (audit plan: docs/project/plans/memory-leak-hardening-plan.md; conventions: docs/features/performance/RESOURCE-MANAGEMENT.md). Media worker: queue retries carry their attempt count so persistently failing jobs emit failed instead of retrying forever (regression-tested), the Puppeteer slot is held until the browser disconnects, SMTP transports are memoized + closed on shutdown, uploads are unlinked on every /api/video/process path, the crawl4ai store is capped at 200, graceful shutdown disconnects Redis/SMTP + stops queue loops, the ffmpeg service gains a kill timeout, the Dockerfile gains NODE_OPTIONS heap cap + OOM snapshots, and /api/health exposes process.memoryUsage(). Browser JS: chat.js stream teardown, self-clearing quota interval, single Escape handler; cron-status-service cleanup; chat-spa job map capped. Base PHP: keyset-paginated transcript rebuild + chunked provenance verification, semantic cache rewritten to per-hash TTL transients (generation counter + FIFO registry), tool-load monitor consolidated with legacy migration, chat-response-cache registry + daily cron, LIMITs on harness-evolver/token-tracking/dashboard scans, Redis pconnect(). Pro PHP: bounded contacts/orders/vitals/execution-history queries, new 365d/90d retention crons, wp_next_scheduled/as_has_scheduled_action dedupe guards (report scheduling, Gmail Pub/Sub, compression sweep), health reminders non-autoloaded, OCR page cap. DLQ/SLA review: SLA Manager + queue-health snapshots verified bounded; the job-notifier cleanup that was wiping all fresh job-status transients hourly is fixed (canonical paired timeout-row delete) and the webhook registry prunes after 30 days. Follow-ups closed: webhook-dispatch dedupe (transient coalescing gate), DLQ retry_history ring-buffer + max-retry gate, async-queue stale-job reaper, and the two latent nonexistent-method calls replaced with the real WP_MCP_AI_Dead_Letter_Queue::add() / WP_MCP_AI_Job_Notifier::handle_job_completed() APIs.

• 📦 Versioning — bumped to 1.1.98 across all version-bearing files. Pro addon: 1.1.98. MCP Gateway: 0.1.1 (unchanged). nvoos-mcp-bridge: 0.1.0-alpha.3 (unchanged). Media Worker: 3.4.0 (unchanged).

Tool count: ~352 base + ~1,313 Pro (~1,665 total — unchanged) — zero registry-map diff in-window (live registry authoritative). Provider count: 18 chat providers (unchanged). Addon count: 30 (unchanged). Bundled skills: 76 base + 41 Pro (75 → 76 — design-figma-to-elementor, #6934). Coding-time agent skills: 63 (62 → 63 — the same skill; the repo-map fold-in lands here). Stale build ZIPs removed: the 1.1.96 oOS set (9 root + 2 optional-components + 19 toolkit-addons = 30 files). Post-window PR #6937 (memory-leak hardening): zero count changes.

🧠 Memory & Tool Stack Overview

Model defaults

Global settings capture the default provider, model, and timeout used when assistants are created, ensuring every conversation inherits stable generation behaviour until explicitly overridden. These defaults ship with sensible values for OpenAI and Gemini out of the box and can be tailored from the NV oOS settings screen.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L36-L77】

Base knowledge

Each assistant can preload Media Library files and optionally link to an external vector store, giving the model persistent project context before a chat begins. Editors manage these knowledge sources from the assistant post type via the “Base Knowledge” meta box, which supports multiple attachments and vector store identifiers.【F:includes/assistants/class-wp-mcp-ai-assistant-cpt.php†L892-L1002】

Available tools

The tool registry boots with a curated catalogue of content, commerce, automation, and research utilities, then exposes hooks so developers can register their own providers. During initialisation the registry loads each bundled tool class—ranging from JetEngine accessors to Crawl4AI jobs and Mailjet automations—and makes them callable within conversations.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-registry.php†L74-L220】

Chat-client Memory Drawer

The chat front-end exposes a persistent Memory Drawer (assets/js/chat-memory-drawer.js) with three tabs:

• Memories — browse, pin, and delete stored context items; 🧠 badge auto-appears on any assistant message that used a memory tool.

• Scope — set the active wing/room scope for subsequent memory operations in the current session.

• Audit — lazy-loaded audit trail from WP_MCP_AI_REST_Chat_Memory_Controller::audit().

The drawer is wired to the REST proxy at /mcp-ai/v1/chat-memory/ and receives real-time updates via the memory_event SSE frame emitted by the agentic loop. Pagehide auto-capture stores the session state before tab close. Two gates control access: site-wide filter wp_mcp_ai_chat_memory_enabled and per-user meta wp_mcp_ai_chat_memory_enabled. Full reference: docs/features/memory/chat-client-integration.md.

Retroactive Transcript Mining

WP_MCP_AI_Transcript_Mining_Job retrospectively extracts memories from past chat transcripts. Enqueue a job via POST /mcp-ai/v1/transcript-mining/jobs (admin-only), poll progress with GET /jobs/{id}, or cancel with POST /jobs/{id}/cancel. Full reference: docs/features/memory/transcript-mining.md.

LLM Harnessing Subsystem

Seven opt-in per-request layers (includes/harness/) improve response quality without changing existing tool behaviour. Activated per-assistant via the LLM Harness metabox. Layers: A Prompt/Cue → B Reasoning Trace → C Tool Routing → D Retrieval → E Self-Refine → F Memory Scoping + PII Filter → G Eval Scheduler. Pro Layer H exports fine-tune curricula as OpenAI JSONL. Full reference: docs/features/llm-harness.md.

Workflow families & tool combos

The core plugin ships with a centrally registered tool catalogue that lets assistants mix and match capabilities into cohesive workflows without additional coding. Teams can chain authoring, media, research, commerce, marketing, and operational tools to deliver end-to-end outcomes inside a single conversation.

• Content & knowledge production – Combine submit_document_prompt, search_content, and search_attachments to gather source material, then follow up with save_post, create_wpcode_snippet, or get_rankmath_seo for structured drafting and optimisation.

• Media generation & transcription – Pair generate_openai_image, generate_gemini_image, vectorize_image, or graphic_editor_plus with generate_openai_speech and transcribe_openai_audio to build multimedia assets that flow into editorial or marketing outputs. Use vectorize_image to convert logos to scalable vectors, and graphic_editor_plus for comprehensive image editing with both local and AI-powered operations.

• Research & situational awareness – Chain discovery helpers like web_search, run_crawl4ai_job, reliefweb_reports, get_gdacs_events, and get_nhc_active_storms to assemble briefing packs before drafting follow-up actions.

• Commerce & finance operations – Use WooCommerce and finance tools such as create_woo_product, get_woo_products, get_woo_recent_orders, crawl4ai_price_lookup, get_import_duty, and quickbooks_report to coordinate merchandising, pricing, and bookkeeping reviews.

• Marketing & analytics insights – Combine measurement tools including google_analytics_report, get_google_business_insights, get_facebook_instagram_insights, get_linkedin_insights, and get_tiktok_insights to guide campaigns and reporting.

• Publishing & outreach automations – Trigger distribution via post_facebook_instagram, post_google_business_update, post_linkedin_update, post_tiktok_video, send_group_email, send_mailjet_email, send_telegram_message, send_whatsapp_message, and schedule_notify_sms once plans are ready.

• Integrations & scheduling – Connect external systems with create_google_calendar_event, search_gmail, list_jetengine_rest_routes, invoke_jetengine_route, and run_openai_external_action as part of larger automations.

• Operations & diagnostics – Close the loop with create_cron_job, list_cron_jobs, get_cron_job, delete_cron_job, check_wp_cli, purge_cache, purge_cloudflare_cache, purge_varnish_cache, get_site_summary, get_site_health, get_system_logs, get_update_status, and OpenAI usage/log review helpers for monitoring and maintenance.

• Automation & scheduling workflows – Agents can autonomously schedule background tasks with create_cron_job, monitor scheduled operations via list_cron_jobs and get_cron_job, and clean up outdated automations with delete_cron_job. Combine with cache management tools (purge_cache, purge_cloudflare_cache, purge_varnish_cache) to orchestrate content publishing workflows where agents schedule posts, then automatically invalidate caches at publication time.

Operations & diagnostics

What the Cron Manager means to AI agents

The Cron Management Suite transforms AI assistants from reactive responders into proactive automation orchestrators. By providing full control over WordPress's background task scheduler, agents can:

Autonomous Task Scheduling

• Schedule content publishing workflows to go live at optimal times without human intervention

• Automate recurring maintenance tasks like cache clearing, database optimization, or backup operations

• Coordinate multi-step operations that span hours or days by chaining scheduled hooks

Intelligent Monitoring & Self-Management

• List and inspect all scheduled tasks to understand what automation is currently active

• Audit who created each task and when it's scheduled to run next

• Identify and remove outdated or redundant scheduled tasks to maintain system health

Real-World Agent Workflows

1. Content Calendar Automation - An agent helping with content strategy can schedule posts to publish at researched optimal engagement times, set up recurring social media cross-posts, and schedule follow-up email campaigns.

2. Site Maintenance Orchestration - When troubleshooting performance issues, agents can schedule off-peak cache purges, coordinate database cleanup tasks, and set up recurring health check notifications.

3. Business Process Automation - Agents can schedule recurring report generation, periodic data syncs with external systems, and automated backup verification checks.

Technical Implementation The cron manager tracks all scheduled tasks in wp_mcp_ai_cron_jobs option with full audit trails including:

• Job ID for unique identification

• Hook name and sanitized arguments

• Schedule type (single-run or recurring interval)

• Creation timestamp and user attribution

• Next execution time for monitoring

Jobs are automatically pruned when they complete (single-run) or are manually removed (recurring), keeping the tracking database clean. All cron operations require manage_options capability, ensuring only authorized users can delegate automation authority to agents.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-cron-manager.php†L12-L280】

Each tool inherits the assistant context and authenticated user from the REST layer, making it easy to layer custom permissions or extend behaviour via the documented filters and actions.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L236-L360】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L1124-L1198】

Need per-tool prerequisites or capability callouts? Consult docs/reference/tools/tool-reference.md for a detailed matrix of every bundled integration.

Tool Status Labels

The Tools Manager page displays status labels beside tool names to indicate their development stage and stability:

Status labels are displayed as 3-letter abbreviations (e.g., "STA" for stable, "BET" for beta) to keep the UI compact.

Important: Tools marked with the bug status are automatically disabled when the plugin loads. This prevents problematic tools from being used until issues are resolved. Administrators can manually re-enable them from the Tools Manager if needed for testing.

Status labels are managed via the tool-status.txt file in the repository. To assign a status label to a tool:

1. Open docs/tool-status.txt in a text editor

2. Add a line in the format: tool_slug = status_label

3. Save the file - changes appear immediately in the Tools Manager

Example:

create_post = stable
web_search = beta
generate_openai_image_validated = experimental
problematic_tool = bug

This file-based approach allows quick status updates without code changes, making it easy for maintainers to reflect tool maturity as development progresses. The automatic disabling of buggy tools provides an additional safety layer to prevent issues in production environments.

🗨 Front-end chat surfaces

NV oOS ships multiple ways to embed assistants on the front end:

• Classic chat shortcode – [mcp_ai_chat] renders the bundled interface with attachment uploads, tool invocation feedback, and optional guest access via allow_guests="true". When guest mode is enabled, the shortcode provisions a temporary token and injects it into the JavaScript bootstrap so visitors without WordPress accounts can continue chatting while still respecting capability checks and attachment safety limits.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L132-L258】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L188-L226】

• Floating chat bubble ⭐ NEW – A configurable floating button that sits at a screen corner and opens a chat panel powered by the [mcp_ai_chat] shortcode. Available as both an Elementor widget and a Gutenberg block. Supports 4 position variants, 3 sizes, auto-open delay, session persistence, dark mode, and WCAG keyboard navigation.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-bubble-widget.php†L1-L200】【F:includes/blocks/chat-bubble/block.json†L1-L50】

• Elementor widgets – Drop the chat UI anywhere Elementor is active, pair it with intro/FAQ blocks, and surface dashboard telemetry without custom code. The chat widget mirrors the shortcode controls (including allow_guests), and companion widgets expose onboarding content, usage timers, provider quick links, and activity feeds for operational views.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-widget.php†L79-L138】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-integration.php†L48-L98】【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-intro-widget.php†L47-L140】【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-usage-timer-widget.php†L48-L226】【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-activity-feed-widget.php†L48-L167】

Guest tokens are honoured by the REST endpoints through the X-WP-MCP-AI-Guest header or guest_token parameter, allowing the chat shortcode and Elementor widget to make authenticated requests on behalf of public visitors without exposing persistent credentials.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L289-L307】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L2088-L2104】

Chat History Persistence

The chat interface automatically persists conversation history to the browser's localStorage, preventing data loss when users navigate away or refresh the page. Conversations are:

• Automatically saved after each user message and assistant response

• Automatically restored when returning to the chat page (within 24 hours)

• Stored per assistant so different assistant conversations remain separate

• Server-side storage available with JetEngine - See note below about optional JetEngine integration

Server-Side Chat Transcript Storage (Requires JetEngine)

⚠️ Third-Party Plugin Required: JetEngine (not included with NV oOS)

Without JetEngine, chat conversations are only stored in browser localStorage (client-side, 24-hour retention). To enable permanent server-side chat transcript archiving:

1. Install and activate the JetEngine plugin (third-party, paid plugin from Crocoblock)

2. Enable the Custom Content Types module in JetEngine settings

3. NV oOS will automatically provision the ai_chat_transcripts CCT for permanent storage

What you get with JetEngine:

• ✅ Permanent server-side chat transcript storage

• ✅ Cross-device conversation access

• ✅ Admin visibility into chat history

• ✅ Database-backed chat logs for compliance/auditing

Without JetEngine:

• ⚠️ Chat history only stored in browser localStorage

• ⚠️ Limited to 24-hour retention

• ⚠️ No cross-device synchronization

• ⚠️ Lost if browser data is cleared

See docs/user-guides/chat/chat-history-persistence.md for complete details on the persistence mechanism, data structure, and troubleshooting.

📦 Installation

ℹ️ Plugin Directory Status
This plugin is currently pending approval in the WordPress Plugin Directory. We are committed to maintaining high quality and security standards throughout the review process. You can install the plugin manually from our GitHub repository or wait for the official WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

🚀 Getting Started Wizard
After activating the plugin, you'll be redirected to a 4-step setup wizard that walks you through connecting an AI provider, choosing a use case, and creating your first assistant — all in under 2 minutes. The wizard creates fully-configured assistants with tools, system prompts, and tuned temperatures so your site is working out of the box. You can access the wizard any time at NV oOS → Getting Started or directly at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-mcp-ai-getting-started.

🌱 Try It on Your PC

No live site. No API costs. No risk. The primary way to test NV oOS is a one-command demo that boots WordPress and the Complete bundle locally via WordPress Playground and wires the chat to your local Ollama — no API key, no server, and no prompts leave your machine.

⚡ Fastest: One Command (Playground + Local Ollama)

One-time prerequisites:

1. Install Ollama and pull a model:

   ollama pull llama3.1:8b

2. Allow the local origin, then restart Ollama:

   • Windows: setx OLLAMA_ORIGINS "https://playground.wordpress.net,http://localhost,http://127.0.0.1", then quit Ollama from the system tray and relaunch it.

   • macOS / Linux: OLLAMA_ORIGINS="https://playground.wordpress.net,http://localhost,http://127.0.0.1" ollama serve

Then run this command (requires Node.js 20+):

npx -y @wp-playground/cli@3.1.54 server --blueprint=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos/alpha-working/blueprints/ollama-demo.json --login

Open the printed local URL (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9400/ollama-test-lab/). The first boot takes a few minutes while it downloads and installs the whole stack — after that you land on the Ollama Test Lab: a live status banner plus a chat that answers from your local model. Admin login: admin / password.

Full walkthrough, browser quick-preview link, and troubleshooting: docs/user-guides/playground-demo.md.

🧰 Classic 3-Step Install (Local, Studio, XAMPP, etc.)

Prefer a traditional local WordPress install? Follow the full walkthrough on the NV Digital Solutions blog: How to Test NV oOS on Your Own PC Using Local + Downloading the Plugin →

1. Install a local WordPress environment — Local by WP Engine or WordPress Studio is the easiest option (one-click install, no server config). Alternatives: XAMPP, MAMP, or DevKinsta.

2. Download the NV oOS plugin zip — grab the latest release from GitHub Releases (look for mcp-ai-wpoos-x.x.x.zip), or use the Code → Download ZIP button for the current development snapshot.

3. Upload, activate, and run the wizard — in your local WordPress dashboard go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, select the zip, activate it, and follow the 🚀 Getting Started Wizard. For a free local AI model (no API key needed), install LM Studio and point the wizard at http://localhost:1234.

🗺 Single-file auto-installer (roadmap) — A single cross-platform installer that bootstraps the entire stack automatically is on the roadmap. See the App / Plugin Distribution Proposal for current status and the plan.

For Developers (GitHub Clone)

✅ Production-Ready Repository
This repository includes production-optimized vendor dependencies with classmap-authoritative autoloading configured by default in composer.json. You can clone and activate immediately without running composer. The composer install command is only needed if you want to update dependencies or add development tools.

⚡ Use a shallow clone
A full clone of this repository is ~10 GB due to its long history. Use --depth 1 to download only the latest snapshot (~500 MB) — much faster and smaller. If you later need the full history, run git fetch --unshallow.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos.git

If you're cloning from GitHub:

Option 1: Cloudways and Managed Hosting (Recommended)

For Cloudways and similar managed hosting platforms, clone directly into the WordPress plugins directory:

# SSH into your server
# Navigate to WordPress plugins directory
cd /home/master/applications/YOURAPP/public_html/wp-content/plugins/

# Clone the repository (production-ready, no composer needed!)
# Use --depth 1 for a fast shallow clone (recommended for production)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos.git
cd mcp-ai-wpoos

# Verify you're in the correct directory
pwd  # Should show the plugins path

# Optional: Only needed for frontend asset rebuilding or development
# npm install && npm run build

# Optional: Only run if you need to update dependencies or add dev tools
# Note: Autoloader optimization is now configured by default in composer.json
# composer install --no-dev

⚠️ Cloudways Important Notes:

• Always clone directly into /home/master/applications/YOURAPP/public_html/wp-content/plugins/

• Do NOT clone elsewhere and then move/copy - this causes getcwd() failed errors

• Replace YOURAPP with your actual Cloudways application name

Option 2: Local Development or VPS

For local development or standard VPS hosting:

# Option A: Clone directly into WordPress plugins directory (recommended, production-ready!)
cd /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
# Use --depth 1 for a fast shallow clone (recommended for production)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos.git
cd mcp-ai-wpoos
# Ready to activate! No composer or npm needed for production use.

# Option B: Clone and copy (also production-ready!)
# Use --depth 1 for a fast shallow clone (recommended for production)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nvdigitalsolutions/mcp-ai-wpoos.git
cd mcp-ai-wpoos
cp -r . /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/mcp-ai-wpoos/

For Development Only:

# Only if you need to rebuild assets or modify dependencies:
npm install && npm run build
# Note: Autoloader optimization is now configured by default in composer.json
composer install --no-dev

Optional: Strip Dev Files for Production

If you are deploying via git clone to a production server with anti-malware / EDR scanning, the working tree will contain test fixtures that embed verbatim attack-payload literals (XSS canaries, SQL-injection samples, prompt-injection strings) used by the security test suite. These can occasionally trip signature-based scanners.

For a clean production tree, run the bundled strip script after cloning:

# Preview what would be removed
bin/strip-dev-files.sh --dry-run

# Remove tests/, docs/, bin/, .github/, .bmad/, .context/, examples/,
# phpunit.xml.dist, phpcs.xml.dist, dev configs, etc.
bin/strip-dev-files.sh

The script mirrors the exclusion list in .distignore (used for the WordPress.org SVN deploy) and the export-ignore rules in .gitattributes (used for GitHub-distributed ZIPs). It is idempotent and refuses to run on a working tree with uncommitted changes (override with --force).

Note: Do not run this on a development checkout — it removes the test suite, docs, and build tooling. It is intended for deploy targets that only run the plugin.

Final Steps

1. Activate Open Operator System Complete (NV oOS) from WordPress admin

2. You now have the complete version with all ~1,692 tools (~353 base + ~1,339 Pro; live count via WP_MCP_AI_Tool_Registry::get_tools() is authoritative)

What you get from the repository clone:

• ✅ The full codebase — all ~1,692 built-in tools ready to use (~353 base + ~1,339 Pro; live count via WP_MCP_AI_Tool_Registry::get_tools() is authoritative)

• ✅ Single plugin activation (not separate base + pro)

• ✅ Pro features automatically available (no separate Pro plugin to install)

Notes:

• The repository includes mcp-ai-wpoos-base.php and addons/pro/mcp-ai-wpoos-pro.php which are used for building separate distributions but do NOT appear as separate plugins when cloning

• Only the main plugin file (mcp-ai-wpoos.php) has a plugin header in the repository

• The build script adds headers to the other files when creating standalone distributions

Standard Installation

1. Upload mcp-ai-wpoos.zip to /wp-content/plugins/

2. Activate NV oOS from the WordPress admin

3. Go to Settings → NV oOS

4. Enter your OpenAI API key

• Add your OpenAI API key in Settings → NV oOS → OpenAI API Key so API calls are authorised.

• Add your Gemini API key in Settings → NV oOS → Gemini API Key if you plan to route assistants through Gemini.

• Confirm or override the default model via Settings → NV oOS → Default Model (gpt-4.1 ships as the default).

• Set a default Gemini model under Settings → NV oOS → Default Gemini Model when Gemini is enabled.

• Choose the default provider from Settings → NV oOS → Default Provider so new assistants know whether to use OpenAI or Gemini by default.

• Adjust the request timeout under Settings → NV oOS → Request Timeout (minimum 5 s, default 30 s) to match your hosting environment.

• Select a default assistant with Settings → NV oOS → Default Assistant so REST and shortcode requests have a fallback.

• Decide on logging with Settings → NV oOS → Enable Logging when you need verbose diagnostics.

• Monitor token usage in Settings → NV oOS → Token Usage Statistics to track API consumption across users, providers, and models for billing and budget management.

• Choose your uninstall behaviour via Settings → NV oOS → Remove Data on Uninstall if this site should purge assistants and settings during cleanup.

• Configure Crawl4AI access in Settings → NV oOS → Tools when you want the Crawl4AI tool to be available to assistants.

• Review attachment MIME overrides in Settings → NV oOS → Attachments before enabling file uploads for end users.

• Review Send Group Email permissions in Settings → NV oOS → Tools to choose the capability and recipient cap for the group email automation.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L348-L359】【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L938-L953】

• Connect Gmail under Settings → NV oOS → Tools → Connections → Gmail to enable Gmail search tools with OAuth 2.0. See Google OAuth Setup Guide for complete configuration steps.

• Configure Mailjet credentials in Settings → NV oOS → Mailjet API Key / Secret / From Email / From Name before enabling Mailjet-powered tools or Elementor widgets that send email on behalf of assistants.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L1008-L1054】

• Enable Federation & Discovery (Optional) in Settings → NV oOS → Federation & Discovery to publish your site's AI capabilities via /.well-known/ai-peer and optionally run a directory service for peer discovery. Configure regions, data tags, and rate limits to control how your site participates in the decentralized AI network.【F:docs/features/federation/federation-discovery.md†L1-L511】【F:FEDERATION-IMPLEMENTATION-SUMMARY.md†L1-L381】

• Configure Root Security Key (Optional) by adding define( 'WP_MCP_AI_ROOT_SECURITY_KEY', 'your-secure-key' ); to wp-config.php. This provides an additional security layer that can be enabled during emergency shutdown to require authentication before re-initializing the plugin.【F:docs/features/security/root-security-key.md†L1-L511】

• Enable Pro Dashboard (Optional) by adding define( 'WP_MCP_AI_PRO_DASHBOARD_ENABLED', true ); to wp-config.php. This activates the dedicated Pro Dashboard with ISO/IEC 27001 compliance monitoring, reporting, and management tools. See Pro Dashboard Documentation for details.

🧠 Language Model Providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Baseten, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Kimi, DigitalOcean, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, Cloudflare)

A dedicated router transparently forwards chat completions to the active provider, allowing each request to target OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Baseten, Kimi, DigitalOcean, NVIDIA NIM, a local Ollama instance, LM Studio, Hugging Face, or Cloudflare Worker AI while sharing the same assistant UX.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-language-model-router.php†L12-L86】 Configure the required API keys, default models, and the global default provider in Settings → NV oOS so new assistants inherit sensible defaults and administrators can switch providers without code changes.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L124-L333】【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L505-L530】 Assistants can still override provider, model, and generation parameters on a per-post basis.

Privacy & Terms: All AI providers have specific terms and privacy policies:

• OpenAI: Terms | Privacy

• Google Gemini: Terms | Privacy

• Anthropic: Terms | Privacy

• NVIDIA NIM: Terms | Privacy

• Cloudflare: Terms | Privacy

• Hugging Face: Terms | Privacy

• Ollama/LM Studio: Self-hosted (no external data transmission)

• Baseten: Terms | Privacy

LM Studio Support

LM Studio with Function Calling - Full support for OpenAI-compatible function calling with local LM Studio instances:

• OpenAI-compatible message structure preserved for tool calls

• Tools/functions can be invoked by LM Studio models (e.g., qwen/qwen3-coder-30b)

• Streaming automatically disabled when tools are present for reliable execution

• Full backward compatibility with non-tool scenarios

• Connect via JSON-RPC endpoint (recommended) or SSE streaming

• See LM Studio setup guide for configuration details

Provider Priority List & Automatic Fallback

The plugin includes an intelligent provider priority system that automatically tries alternative providers when the primary one fails or is unavailable. In Settings → NV oOS, you can:

• Drag and drop providers to set your preferred order

• Automatic fallback - if the first provider fails, the system tries the next one

• Visual management - see all available providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Baseten, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Kimi, DigitalOcean, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, Cloudflare) in one sortable list

• Flexible prioritization - adjust based on cost, performance, or availability needs

The first provider in the list serves as the default. If any provider returns an error, the router automatically attempts the next provider in the list until one succeeds. This ensures maximum uptime and resilience without manual intervention. All fallback attempts are logged for debugging and monitoring.

Local AI with Ollama

The Ollama provider enables privacy-focused, cost-free AI processing by connecting to a local Ollama or LM Studio instance running on your server or development machine. This is ideal for:

• Privacy-sensitive deployments where data must stay on-premises

• Development and testing without incurring API costs

• Custom or fine-tuned models not available through cloud providers

• Air-gapped environments without internet access

To configure Ollama:

1. Install Ollama on your server or local machine

2. Pull a model (e.g., ollama pull llama2)

3. Navigate to Settings → NV oOS → Ollama Configuration

4. Enter your Ollama endpoint URL (default: http://localhost:11434)

5. Click "Test Connection" to verify connectivity

6. Click "Fetch Models" to see available models

7. Select a model from the list or manually enter a model name

8. Set "Default Provider" to "Ollama (Local AI)" if you want it as the system default

The Ollama client supports the standard chat completion flow and automatically normalizes responses to match the OpenAI format for downstream compatibility. Note that some advanced features like tool calling may vary depending on the specific Ollama model you're using.

OpenAI model coverage

The plugin ships with presets for OpenAI’s current Responses, Reasoning, Audio, and Image APIs so site owners can choose the right model for each workflow. Token windows describe the maximum request size (messages, attachments, and tool payloads) the OpenAI API will accept for that model, while output limits reflect the largest single response the service will stream back. Leave a safety margin below each ceiling so assistants can add system instructions, tool calls, and knowledge snippets without hitting provider limits.

Media and multimodal defaults

OpenAI regularly revises token policies and media limits, so review the model specification dashboard before rolling out new assistants or increasing attachment budgets. Updating your defaults in Settings → NV oOS keeps every assistant aligned with the latest provider guidance.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L36-L105】【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L2298-L2398】

🧱 ChatKit Integration

The ChatKit module now ships with the core NV oOS plugin, so no separate add-on installation is required. Once enabled it self-registers through ChatKit’s filter and action APIs as soon as both plugins load, exposing the mcp-ai/v1 REST namespace while advertising chat, tool invocation, attachment download, and guest token support without any manual bootstrapping. Return false from the wp_mcp_ai_chatkit_is_available filter if you need to disable the automatic registration for bespoke environments.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-chatkit-integration.php†L30-L204】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L16-L2104】

From the ChatKit dashboard configure the NV oOS integration and supply at least one assistant ID so ChatKit knows which conversation to join. Optional fields let you override the system prompt or preload tool shortcut payloads for operators; capability checks inherit the wp_mcp_ai_chat_capability filter, so you can align ChatKit access with the same policies used for shortcodes or REST calls.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-chatkit-integration.php†L182-L210】【F:mcp-ai-wpoos.php†L25-L72】

Consult docs/developer/integration/chatkit-integration.md for a full configuration walkthrough, JSON examples for shortcut presets, and notes on extending the definition via filters.

🌐 Crawl4AI Integration

Administrators with manage_options capabilities can run the Run Crawl4AI Job tool without any external service: when no Crawl4AI endpoint is configured the plugin performs the crawl directly on the WordPress server using the built-in HTTP client, extracts headings and text as Markdown, and records the raw HTML and response metadata for the assistant.【F:includes/tools/class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-run-crawl4ai-job.php†L32-L745】 Errors for individual URLs are captured in the response metadata so partial crawls still return useful context. When a remote Crawl4AI endpoint is configured the request now returns immediately with a task token while WP-Cron powered background polling captures the final payload and makes it available to the assistant UI once the crawl finishes.【F:includes/crawler/class-wp-mcp-ai-crawler.php†L1-L214】【F:assets/js/chat.js†L1-L2200】

Configure remote endpoints or API keys under Settings → NV oOS → Tools to tailor how the Crawl4AI integration runs across environments.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L248-L521】

Supplying a Crawl4AI base URL (and optional API key) switches the tool back to proxying crawl jobs to the remote Crawl4AI REST API, preserving backwards compatibility with existing deployments.【F:includes/tools/class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-run-crawl4ai-job.php†L206-L339】【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L248-L521】 Local environments can still feed a custom endpoint to the integration through the WP_MCP_AI_CRAWL4AI_BASE_URL or CRAWL4AI_BASE_URL environment variable when you want to test against a dedicated Crawl4AI service.【F:mcp-ai-wpoos.php†L54-L96】

📡 Job Notification System

NV oOS includes a general-purpose infrastructure for real-time notifications on async WordPress jobs, providing SSE streaming and webhook support for external integrations.【F:docs/features/async-jobs/job-notification-system.md†L1-L100】

Architecture

Async Job → WordPress Action → Job Notifier → [SSE | Webhooks]
                                                 ↓       ↓
                                            Frontend  External

Automatic Crawl4AI Integration

The system automatically hooks into Crawl4AI jobs via the wp_mcp_ai_crawl4ai_job_completed action, providing real-time status updates as crawls progress. No additional code is needed—Crawl4AI jobs automatically trigger notifications.【F:includes/crawler/class-wp-mcp-ai-crawler.php†L1-L214】

Frontend SSE Subscription

JavaScript clients can subscribe to job status updates using Server-Sent Events:

const jobId = 'crawl_abc123';
const eventSource = new EventSource(
    `/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/jobs/${jobId}/stream?max_duration=300&poll_interval=2`
);

eventSource.addEventListener('status', (e) => {
    const status = JSON.parse(e.data);
    console.log('Job status:', status.status, status.progress);
    updateProgressBar(status.progress);
});

eventSource.addEventListener('complete', (e) => {
    const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
    console.log('Job completed:', data.final_status);
    eventSource.close();
});

Webhook Registration

External systems can receive HTTP callbacks when jobs complete:

WP_MCP_AI_Job_Notifier::register_webhook(
    'crawl_abc123',
    'https://example.com/webhook',
    array( 'completed', 'failed' )
);

➡️ See docs/features/async-jobs/job-notification-system.md for complete implementation details.

🧊 Elementor Widgets

Sites running Elementor automatically register a suite of MCP blocks so you can assemble onboarding pages, operational dashboards, and standalone chat layouts without writing markup.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-integration.php†L12-L98】 The integration only boots when Elementor is present, so non-Elementor installs avoid any overhead.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-integration.php†L29-L46】

Chat surfaces and companion blocks

• NV oOS Chat – Renders the assistant interface with the same controls exposed by the [mcp_ai_chat] shortcode, including the allow_guests toggle for minting temporary visitor tokens.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-widget.php†L17-L138】

• NV oOS Chat Bubble ⭐ NEW – Floating chat bubble that sits at a configurable screen corner and opens a chat panel powered by the existing [mcp_ai_chat] shortcode.

• NV oOS Chat Intro – Adds a configurable hero block above the conversation with headings, talking points, and an optional call-to-action button to guide visitors before they engage the model.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-intro-widget.php†L47-L190】

• NV oOS Chat FAQ – Surfaces a repeater-driven FAQ list alongside the chat so product teams can document policies and best practices in context.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-faq-widget.php†L47-L150】

• NV oOS Usage & Timer – Combines a focus timer with per-user token totals, gracefully handling logged-out visitors, disabled tracking, and empty usage histories.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-chat-usage-timer-widget.php†L48-L340】

Operations dashboards

• NV oOS Tool Matrix – Pulls the tool registry, groups integrations by focus area, and highlights the required capability for each assistant tool so administrators can plan enablement safely. The Send Group Email row now mirrors the capability and recipient limit configured in the MCP settings so editorial policies stay front-of-mind.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-tool-matrix-widget.php†L48-L440】

• NV oOS User Capability Snapshot – Summarises the signed-in operator’s profile, common capabilities, JetEngine access, and multisite memberships to support governance reviews. It also surfaces the configured Send Group Email capability and limit so administrators immediately know whether the current user can trigger bulk mail jobs.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-user-capability-widget.php†L48-L392】

• NV oOS Theme Preview – Renders a mock conversation using the saved chat color tokens and optionally displays a legend of every branding token for quick QA during rollouts.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-theme-preview-widget.php†L48-L198】

• NV oOS Provider Quick Links – Reuses the OpenAI usage/log tools to populate external billing and telemetry shortcuts that open in new tabs for rapid debugging.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-provider-links-widget.php†L48-L166】

• NV oOS Activity Feed – Streams the latest MCP log entries (tool runs, chat interactions, and optional provider requests), collapsing raw context into expandable JSON blocks for deeper analysis.【F:includes/elementor/class-wp-mcp-ai-elementor-dashboard-activity-feed-widget.php†L48-L210】

Full Privacy Details: See EXTERNAL_SERVICES.md for complete documentation.

The plugin records aggregate token usage per user, provider, and model whenever responses include usage metadata, simplifying internal reconciliation or billing workflows. Usage data is stored as user meta and automatically purged when accounts are deleted, and hooks are exposed for custom reporting pipelines.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-usage-tracker.php†L12-L119】

Token Usage Management Dashboard

Administrators with manage_options capability can view comprehensive token usage statistics in Settings → NV oOS:

Global Statistics (All Users):

• Total requests across all users

• Total tokens consumed (prompt + completion)

• Prompt tokens used

• Completion tokens generated

• Cached tokens (for providers supporting prompt caching)

• Reset all usage data button (with confirmation)

Individual User Statistics:

• Your personal token consumption

• Per-user breakdown of requests and tokens

• Reset personal usage data button

Detailed Breakdown:

• Usage by provider (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, Cloudflare)

• Usage by specific model (e.g., gpt-4.1-mini, gemini-2.0-flash)

• Request counts per provider/model combination

• Last used timestamp for each model

• Comprehensive table view with all metrics

The usage tracking system automatically:

• Records usage from all API responses that include usage metadata

• Aggregates data by user, provider, and model

• Updates in real-time as conversations occur

• Supports the Open OpenAI Usage tool for quick access to provider dashboards

• Provides AJAX-powered reset functionality for administrators

🧷 Attachment MIME Controls

Administrators can override the default image and file MIME allowlists used by the chat uploader. The settings screen accepts one MIME type per line, and the attachment helper merges the overrides with its defaults before enforcing them on upload and shortcode configuration.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L225-L669】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-message-attachments.php†L503-L559】 Leave the fields empty to fall back to the bundled safe defaults.

⚡ Message Bundling

NV oOS implements client-side message bundling to optimize API usage and reduce server load. When enabled, messages sent within an 800ms window are automatically grouped into a single API request, reducing costs and improving performance for users who send multiple messages in quick succession.【F:docs/user-guides/chat/message-bundling-feature.md†L1-L80】

How It Works

1. User sends a message → Displayed immediately in the chat UI

2. 800ms timer starts → System waits for additional messages

3. More messages arrive → Timer resets with each new message

4. Timer expires → All queued messages sent together in one request

Visual Feedback

• "Preparing to send…" - Messages are being queued during the bundling window

• "Sending…" - Bundled messages are being transmitted to the server

Benefits

• Reduced API costs - Fewer requests mean lower costs for pay-per-request APIs

• Lower server load - Fewer requests to process and respond to

• Better mobile experience - Ideal for users who type in short bursts

• Backward compatible - Server code unchanged, same payload format

Configuration

Message bundling is enabled by default and requires no configuration. To disable for debugging:

window.wpMcpAiChatDebugMode = true;

➡️ See docs/user-guides/chat/message-bundling-feature.md for configuration options and implementation details.

🎯 Agentic Loop Token Management

NV oOS includes intelligent handling for tools that return large responses, preventing token overflow errors during agentic loops (where the AI automatically calls multiple tools).【F:docs/features/tools/presets/high-token-tool-handling.md†L1-L80】

The Problem

Tools like run_crawl4ai_job can return 100,000+ tokens of content. In agentic loops, each API call includes all previous messages, causing token counts to grow rapidly and exceed model limits (e.g., gpt-4.1-mini's 200k TPM limit).

The Solution: Three-Tier Strategy

Tier 1: Token Limit Detection

• Estimates total tokens before each API call

• Checks against model's TPM (Tokens Per Minute) limit

• Prevents requests that would exceed limits

Tier 2: Automatic Model Switching

• When limits exceeded, auto-switches to fallback model

• Default fallback: Gemini 2.0 Flash (1-2 million token capacity)

• Preserves full context without data loss

• Transparent to the user

Tier 3: Message Truncation

• If even fallback model can't handle tokens

• Truncates older messages from conversation

• Always preserves system prompts and recent context

• Logs what was truncated for debugging

Configuration

Automatic model switching is enabled by default. Configure fallback model under Settings → NV oOS:

// Default fallback model
'fallback_model' => 'gemini-2.0-flash-exp'

➡️ See docs/features/tools/presets/high-token-tool-handling.md for complete technical details and examples.

🔄 Chat Performance Optimizations

NV oOS includes several performance optimizations to enhance the chat experience:

• Message bundling - Reduces API calls by grouping rapid user inputs

• Token budget management - Prevents API limit overruns with safety margins【F:docs/features/performance/tpm-limit-validation.md†L1-L50】

• Chat history persistence - LocalStorage (24h) + optional JetEngine CCT storage【F:docs/user-guides/chat/chat-history-persistence.md†L1-L50】

• Automatic model switching - Seamlessly handles token overflow scenarios

• Rate limit protection - Intelligent retry with exponential backoff【F:docs/features/performance/rate-limit-protection.md†L1-L50】

➡️ See docs/features/chat/chat-performance-optimizations.md for detailed performance tuning guide.

🌐 Mesh Compute Routing

NV oOS includes intelligent mesh compute routing that automatically distributes AI workload across multiple sites OR multiple providers using AI-powered decision-making. This feature works in two modes:

1. Multi-Site Mesh: Distribute load across multiple WordPress installations

2. Single-Site Multi-Provider: Balance load across OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, NVIDIA NIM, Hugging Face, Cloudflare, and Ollama on one site

Both modes use the same AI-powered routing engine to optimize for cost, performance, and reliability.

Key Capabilities

• AI-Optimized Routing - Analyzes prompt complexity and routes to optimal provider/site

• Cost Optimization - Use GPT-4o-mini for simple queries, GPT-4o for complex tasks

• Automatic Failover - Switch providers on rate limits or outages

• Compute Hubs - Designate powerful servers for heavy workloads

• Rate Limit Management - Auto-switch to alternative providers when limits hit

• Privacy Control - Route sensitive data to local Ollama instances

Quick Start Examples

Single-Site Setup (No mesh required):

• Configure multiple AI providers (OpenAI + Gemini + Anthropic + Hugging Face + Cloudflare + Ollama)

• Set assistant routing strategy to "AI Optimized"

• Save 90% on costs by routing simple queries to cheaper models

Multi-Site Setup (Distributed compute):

• Enable mesh networking on all sites

• Designate compute hubs with larger models

• Automatic load balancing across peer sites

• Cross-server compute pooling for Cloudways, SiteGround, etc.

➡️ See docs/features/federation/mesh-routing-guide.md for complete setup guide, routing strategies, and use cases. ➡️ See docs/features/federation/mesh-compute-pooling.md for architecture and authentication details.

🕵 Code Review

The 2025-10-31 internal review confirms the hardening of the group email automation (header filtering and attachment caps) and the case-sensitive variable handling in the OpenAI external action tool, and only flags a low-severity performance concern around guest token transient churn for public chat embeds. These findings have been consolidated into the master code review document. One follow-up action item recommends re-using or rate-limiting guest tokens to keep the options table tidy on cache-less hosts.

🔒 MCP Server Authentication

Remote MCP assistants should authenticate with Auth0-issued bearer tokens (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN) whose audience and scope align with the values configured under Settings → NV oOS. Same-origin experiences (the dashboard editor and shortcode UI) continue to rely on the X-WP-Nonce header tied to the logged-in WordPress session. Review docs/reference/api/mcp-server-authentication.md for a complete setup guide plus a breakdown of the structured error responses returned on failure, and keep the deployment troubleshooting checklist handy when diagnosing capability or credential regressions.

MCP transports (v1.1.55+): POST /wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/mcp speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP by default. Legacy HTTP+SSE clients (SSE-only Accept: text/event-stream or ?stream=true) get a credential-bound session handshake from GET /mcp and receive responses as event: message on the GET stream — enable with WP_MCP_AI_LEGACY_SSE_ENABLED. JSON-RPC errors return HTTP 200 with the {"jsonrpc","id","error"} envelope so agent SDKs that drop non-2xx bodies relay tool errors instead of hanging; auth/permission failures keep real HTTP statuses. Assistant credential headers may be sent as Authorization: Bearer cred_xxxxx.SECRET or raw Authorization: cred_xxxxx.SECRET. Tool-call traffic is governed by the settings-driven tool rate limiter (credential tokens exempt by default), and GET/HEAD discovery probes never consume the request quota. See docs/developer/implementation-plan-mcp-agent-compat.md and docs/developer/legacy-sse-transport-plan.md for the full rationale.

Using NV oOS as an MCP server

1. Install the plugin and create assistants. Each WordPress instance that activates NV oOS exposes an MCP-ready assistant directory backed by the ai_assistant custom post type, so every published assistant becomes available to remote clients once credentials are issued.【F:includes/assistants/class-wp-mcp-ai-assistant-cpt.php†L460-L620】

2. Configure the REST and connector settings. Populate the Auth0, model provider, and optional integration credentials under Settings → NV oOS so the REST controller can advertise the correct namespace URLs and enforce bearer tokens per your tenant, scope, and provider defaults.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L36-L118】

3. Expose the MCP directory endpoints. The REST layer publishes /assistants, /chat, /tools, and an SSE-compatible /sse handshake inside the wp-json/mcp-ai/v1 namespace, automatically scoping responses to the authenticated assistant or returning every assistant the caller may read.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L234-L703】 Hand-held clients can subscribe to the streaming directory event or call the JSON routes directly using the base URLs returned in the directory payload.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L653-L703】

4. Register any additional tools. Extend the server’s capabilities by hooking into wp_mcp_ai_register_tools and loading custom tool classes; registered slugs flow through the assistant directory and tool execution endpoint without extra wiring.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-registry.php†L75-L195】

5. Verify the deployment before sharing credentials. Run wp mcp-ai remote https://example.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1 --token=YOUR_TOKEN from any WP-CLI environment to confirm authentication, assistant scope, and chat probes succeed before you hand tokens to operators or client teams.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-cli-command.php†L137-L220】

Operating multiple MCP deployments

Provision a separate WordPress site (or network site) for each MCP server you need, activate NV oOS, and repeat the configuration steps above with environment-specific Auth0 audiences, scopes, and provider keys. Because the assistant directory response includes the resolved REST base and namespace metadata, MCP clients can be pointed at different deployments simply by swapping the base URL and the bearer credential minted for that site’s assistants.【F:includes/admin/class-wp-mcp-ai-admin-settings.php†L48-L118】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L653-L703】

Sites that enable the Simple JWT Login integration can now reuse those bearer tokens alongside Auth0 credentials. The plugin validates tokens with Simple JWT Login’s native services, falls back to manual JWT decoding when the dependency cannot resolve a user, and automatically scopes REST requests to the assistant encoded in the token so cross-assistant hops are blocked with actionable errors.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-simple-jwt-login-integration.php†L47-L214】【F:includes/integrations/class-wp-mcp-ai-integration-simple-jwt.php†L240-L378】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L2769-L2808】

🌐 Connecting Remote MCP Clients

NV oOS works seamlessly with popular MCP clients including Claude Desktop, LM Studio, and ChatGPT connectors. Each client connects to your WordPress site via the MCP REST API at /wp-json/mcp-ai/v1 and can access assistants, execute tools, and interact with your WordPress data remotely.

SSE Support: All MCP endpoints support Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time streaming. Enable SSE in your client configuration for better response times and real-time updates. See the SSE Streaming Support section for details.

Quick Start

1. Generate an assistant credential from any published assistant's API Credentials meta box

2. Copy the token (format: cred_xxxxx.SECRET) — shown only once!

3. Configure your MCP client with your site's base URL and the credential

4. Test the connection using the provided test script or WP-CLI command

Claude Desktop setup

Claude Desktop supports MCP servers through a JSON configuration file. Add your WordPress site:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress-site": {
      "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer cred_xxxxx.SECRET"
      },
      "sse": true
    }
  }
}

See the complete Claude Desktop setup guide and example configurations for multi-assistant deployments.

LM Studio Setup

⚠️ Having SSE content-type errors? Use the JSON-RPC endpoint instead!

LM Studio can connect using two methods:

Method 1: JSON-RPC (Recommended - No SSE)

Use this if you're getting SSE error: Invalid content type, expected "text/event-stream":

{
  "servers": [
    {
      "id": "wordpress-mcp",
      "name": "WordPress Site",
      "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "type": "bearer",
        "token": "cred_xxxxx.SECRET"
      },
      "timeout": 30000
    }
  ]
}

Configure in LM Studio:

• Server Name: WordPress Site

• URL: https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/mcp

• Auth Type: Bearer Token

• Token: cred_xxxxx.SECRET

• Do NOT enable SSE

Method 2: SSE Streaming (Optional)

If you want to use SSE for real-time updates:

• Base URL: https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1

• Enable SSE: ✓ (checked)

• SSE Endpoint: /sse

See the complete LM Studio setup guide and example configurations:

• lmstudio-mcp-without-sse.json - Recommended

• lmstudio-config.json - With SSE

ChatGPT connector setup

⚠️ Note: ChatGPT connectors currently require Auth0 authentication. Assistant-issued credentials are not yet supported by OpenAI's ChatGPT platform.

To connect via ChatGPT:

1. Configure Auth0 in Settings → NV oOS

2. Generate an Auth0 access token with the configured audience

3. Add the MCP server in ChatGPT's connector settings

See the ChatGPT connector guide for detailed Auth0 setup steps.

Testing your connection

Use the built-in test script to verify connectivity:

./bin/test-remote-connection.sh \
  -u https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1 \
  -t cred_xxxxx.SECRET

Or use WP-CLI:

wp mcp-ai remote https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1 \
  --token=cred_xxxxx.SECRET

Expected output confirms the server is reachable and lists available assistants.

🎫 Token Management UI

NV oOS 1.0.0 introduces a centralized Token Manager for managing all external agent access tokens across your assistants. Access it via NV oOS → Token Manager in the admin menu.

Features

• Centralized Control - Manage all assistant credentials in one place

• Security Best Practice - Tokens shown only once after creation (cannot be retrieved later)

• Lifecycle Management - Create, view, revoke, and delete credentials

• Audit Trail - Track who created/revoked each token and when

• Metadata Display - See creation date, status (active/revoked), associated assistant

• Bulk Visibility - View credentials across all assistants at a glance

How It Works

The Token Manager follows industry standards similar to GitHub Personal Access Tokens, Stripe API keys, and Auth0 credentials:

1. Create Token - Generate new credentials from the assistant editor

2. Copy Immediately - Token shown once and cannot be retrieved later

3. Use in MCP Clients - Configure external applications (Codex CLI, MCP clients, custom integrations)

4. Revoke When Needed - Disable compromised tokens without deleting audit history

5. Delete When Done - Permanently remove tokens and all metadata

Security Notes

• Tokens are hashed before storage (only hash stored, never plaintext)

• Requires manage_options capability

• All actions logged with user attribution

• Revoked tokens cannot be reactivated (must create new)

• HTTPS strongly recommended for token transmission

Usage Example

# In assistant editor: Create credential → Copy token immediately
# Token format: cred_[YOUR_PREFIX].[YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE]
# Example format only - never share real tokens!

# Configure MCP client (e.g., Codex CLI)
export WPOOS_BEARER_TOKEN="your_token_here"
codex chat --assistant 123 "Hello world"

# Later: Revoke from Token Manager UI if compromised
# Or: Delete entirely when integration removed

⚠️ Security Warning: The examples above use placeholder tokens. Never share real tokens publicly or commit them to version control.

Access Requirements

• Capability: manage_options (administrators only)

• Menu Location: NV oOS → Token Manager

• REST API: /wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/token-manager/*

For complete documentation, see Token Management Guide.

🤖 ChatGPT Connector

OpenAI’s ChatGPT connector beta currently authenticates exclusively through Auth0. Because NV oOS issues its own assistant-scoped bearer credentials, you can connect LM Studio, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-aware clients today, while ChatGPT support will require either Auth0 bridging or native bearer support from OpenAI. We’ll update this section as soon as ChatGPT adds compatibility with first-party tokens.【F:docs/reference/api/mcp-server-authentication.md†L22-L46】

🛰 REST API Endpoints

All front-end chat surfaces ultimately call the MCP REST namespace at /wp-json/mcp-ai/v1, which exposes dedicated endpoints for chat completions and direct tool execution. Both routes share the same authentication rules described above: supply an Auth0 bearer token, a plugin-issued assistant credential, or a WordPress REST nonce for same-origin requests. Guest tokens issued by the shortcode or Elementor widget continue to be honoured when allow_guests="true" is enabled.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L230-L322】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L289-L343】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L1288-L1336】

• GET /assistants – Returns a directory of accessible assistants with provider defaults, tool counts, capability metadata, and implementation details so remote clients can choose which assistant to call. Credential tokens are automatically scoped to their issuing assistant while Auth0 tokens and REST nonces surface every published assistant the caller can read.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L238-L666】 The endpoint also supports Server-Sent Events for MCP clients that expect streaming discovery payloads, emitting a single directory event with cache-busting headers before closing the stream.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L1690-L1772】

• GET /sse – Mirrors the assistant directory response but forces a Server-Sent Events handshake so MCP clients that negotiate /sse subscriptions receive the streaming directory payload without additional query parameters.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L400-L715】

• POST /chat – Normalises structured messages, injects assistant defaults, auto-enables the Submit Document Prompt tool when uploads are present, and forwards the request through the language model router. Responses include the assistant ID and the raw provider payload so clients can stream or render messages as needed.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L230-L322】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L931-L1095】

• POST /tools – Executes a specific registered tool outside of a chat turn. The endpoint enforces assistant tool allowlists, scopes credential-based requests to the issuing assistant, merges assistant defaults (such as external action identifiers), and returns the tool result with execution metadata.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L264-L322】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L1162-L1321】

See docs/reference/api/rest-api.md for payload examples, attachment handling rules, and troubleshooting tips when integrating custom clients.

🌊 SSE Streaming Support

NV oOS includes comprehensive Server-Sent Events (SSE) support for real-time streaming responses, enabling faster perceived response times and better user experience.

What is SSE?

Server-Sent Events provide unidirectional server-to-client streaming over HTTP, allowing the server to push updates as they become available rather than waiting for the complete response.

Benefits:

• ⚡ Faster perceived response time - Users see content immediately as it's generated

• 🔄 Real-time updates - Progressive loading for long-running operations

• 📶 Connection keep-alive - Prevents timeouts during lengthy responses

• 🎯 Better UX - ChatGPT-style typing effect for AI responses

SSE-Enabled Endpoints

1. Assistant Directory Streaming (GET /assistants)

Stream the assistant directory for MCP clients expecting SSE handshakes:

curl -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/assistants

The endpoint emits a single directory event with all accessible assistants, then closes the connection.

2. Dedicated SSE Endpoint (GET /sse)

Force SSE mode for MCP clients that specifically probe the /sse endpoint:

curl https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/sse

This mirrors the /assistants response but always uses SSE format, ensuring compatibility with LM Studio and Claude Desktop.

3. Job Status Streaming (GET /jobs/{job_id}/stream)

Subscribe to real-time updates for async operations like Crawl4AI jobs:

const eventSource = new EventSource(
    `/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/jobs/${jobId}/stream?max_duration=300&poll_interval=2`
);

eventSource.addEventListener('status', (e) => {
    const status = JSON.parse(e.data);
    console.log('Progress:', status.progress + '%');
});

eventSource.addEventListener('complete', (e) => {
    console.log('Job finished:', e.data);
    eventSource.close();
});

SSE Configuration

Enable POST Method for SSE (LM Studio Compatibility)

By default, SSE uses the standard GET method. For clients with SSE bugs (like LM Studio), enable POST support:

1. Go to Settings → NV oOS → Assistant Settings

2. Enable "Enable POST Method on SSE Endpoint"

3. Save settings

⚠️ Note: Standard SSE specification uses GET. Only enable POST if you experience client compatibility issues.

Modern SSE Features (2024-2025)

The SSE implementation includes current best practices:

• Automatic reconnection with retry: directive (3-second interval)

• Event IDs for tracking reconnection state

• HTTP/2 compatibility for multiplexing

• Proper CORS headers for cross-origin requests

• Cache-Control directives to prevent proxy buffering

• Heartbeat messages to keep connections alive

Frontend Integration

Enable SSE streaming in your JavaScript client:

// Request streaming in chat
const response = await fetch('/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/chat', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'text/event-stream',
        'X-WP-Nonce': wpMcpAi.nonce
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        assistant_id: 123,
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
        stream: true
    })
});

// Process SSE stream
const reader = response.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
let buffer = '';

while (true) {
    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
    if (done) break;
    
    buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
    const events = buffer.split('\n\n');
    buffer = events.pop();
    
    for (const event of events) {
        if (event.startsWith('data: ')) {
            const data = JSON.parse(event.substring(6));
            // Update UI with streaming chunk
            updateChatUI(data);
        }
    }
}

🛠 Assistant Editor Overview

Assistant posts ship with dedicated controls that map directly to runtime behaviour:

• Available Tools – Choose which registered tools (core, WooCommerce, JetEngine, or custom) the model may invoke. Dependency-aware notices explain why certain tools are unavailable, and you can now disable the pre-built prompt shortcuts that tools normally contribute.

• Quick Tool Selection Presets – one-click presets group the current live registry by use-case (🤖 Agentic Workflow, 🛒 E-commerce, ⚕️ Healthcare, 💬 Communication, 💻 Development, 📋 Registration & Compliance, and more). Click a preset to add its tools to the current selection; click again to remove them. Combine multiple presets freely. Use ✓ Select All / ✗ Clear All for bulk actions. Implemented in includes/helpers/class-wp-mcp-ai-tool-presets-helper.php.

• Model Defaults – Provide assistant-specific overrides for the OpenAI model, temperature (0–2), and system prompt applied to every conversation.

• Base Knowledge – Attach Media Library items that are chunked, truncated, and streamed as memory context, and optionally store an external Vector Store ID to coordinate retrieval workflows.

• Prompt Shortcuts – Capture labelled prompts with optional descriptions and tool affinities; they render as accessible quick actions in the chat UI so operators can seed conversations instantly.【F:includes/assistants/class-wp-mcp-ai-assistant-cpt.php†L893-L1048】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L430-L693】【F:assets/js/chat.js†L600-L666】

If an API or shortcode request omits the assistant parameter, the plugin automatically uses the default assistant configured in the global settings.

📊 Assistant Storage: CPT vs CCT

NV oOS uses a Custom Post Type (CPT) as the primary storage for AI assistants, with automatic synchronization to a JetEngine Custom Content Type (CCT) when JetEngine is available.

Storage Architecture

• CPT (mcp_ai_assistant): The authoritative source for all assistant data

  • Full-featured WordPress editor with 14 meta fields

  • Supports credentials, shortcuts, memory files, and advanced features

  • Always available in both Base and Full versions

  • Primary REST endpoint: /wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/

• CCT (assistants): Synchronized secondary storage (Full Version only)

  • Receives automatic updates when CPT is saved

  • 7 basic fields: title, description, provider, model, system_prompt, temperature, tools

  • Available via JetEngine REST endpoint: /wp-json/jet-cct/assistants

  • Ideal for JetEngine-based integrations and queries

Automatic Synchronization (v1.0.0+)

When you save an assistant through the WordPress admin:

1. CPT is updated with all settings

2. CCT is automatically synced (if JetEngine is active)

3. Link is maintained via _wp_mcp_ai_cct_item_id meta

4. Deletion cascades - removing CPT also removes linked CCT item

What gets synced: Basic configuration (title, description, provider, model, system_prompt, temperature, tools)
What's CPT-only: Advanced features (credentials, shortcuts, memory files, role rules, vector store, external actions)

When to Use Each Endpoint

Use CPT endpoint (/wp-json/mcp-ai/v1/) for:

• Chat, tools, and directory interactions

• Full assistant configuration access

• Credential-based authentication

• Primary integration scenarios

Use CCT endpoint (/wp-json/jet-cct/assistants) for:

• JetEngine-specific queries and filters

• Building JetEngine relations

• Integrating with JetEngine dashboards

• Querying basic assistant metadata

➡️ Read the complete CPT vs CCT guide for detailed comparisons, code examples, and migration information.

⚡ Assistant Tool Shortcuts

Every assistant exposes a Prompt Shortcuts meta box so editors can curate prewritten instructions, scope them to registered tools, and add operator-facing descriptions that appear as tooltips and screen reader hints in the chat UI.【F:includes/assistants/class-wp-mcp-ai-assistant-cpt.php†L893-L1048】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L430-L693】【F:assets/js/chat.js†L600-L666】 The shortcode merges these custom prompts with each tool’s declared shortcut tasks and always appends a safe fallback so assistants remain usable even without bespoke entries.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L430-L693】

Developers can extend or replace these prompts with filters such as wp_mcp_ai_assistant_custom_tool_shortcuts and wp_mcp_ai_default_tool_shortcut, letting sites tailor default quick actions per assistant or environment.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-shortcode.php†L444-L692】

➡️ Read the full guide to assistant prompt shortcuts.

🧠 Agent Skills

Agent Skills (agentskills.io) are reusable, portable behaviour packages that extend any assistant without touching its system prompt. Each skill is a SKILL.md file — a standard Markdown document with a small YAML frontmatter block — that lives in wp-content/uploads/mcp-ai-skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md. When an assistant loads a skill, its instructions are automatically injected into the conversation context so the model knows exactly when and how to use that capability.

67 Pre-Built Skills (Base Plugin)

The base plugin ships with 67 pre-built skills that are automatically installed to wp-content/uploads/mcp-ai-skills/ on first activation. No Pro add-on is required — they are available on every install out of the box. The skills include 24 general-purpose tools (document handling, design, testing), 22 WordPress developer skills (security, APIs, plugin patterns), 21 design-* skills (analytics through video creation), and the bundled mcp-ai-wpoos-plugin skill.

How Skills Are Loaded

Skills are selected per-assistant via the Skills meta box in the assistant editor. Whichever skills are checked, their combined instructions are prepended to the system prompt under an # Active Skills heading at inference time. This means skills are composable — you can combine pdf + xlsx + doc-coauthoring on a single document-specialist assistant.

Skills are stored as plain text files and can be customised in-place. The original bundled content can be restored at any time from Settings → Advanced → Skill Management → Force Reinstall Bundled Skills.

Managing Skills

Base plugin — Skill management is available under Settings → Advanced → Skill Management:

• View installed skills and their metadata

• Refresh the skill index

• Install or force-reinstall the 16 bundled skills

Pro add-on — The dedicated Skill Manager admin page (Assistants → Skill Manager) adds:

• Upload a SKILL.md file or a ZIP archive containing a skill directory

• Install a skill from a remote URL

• Inline CodeMirror editor to create or edit SKILL.md content directly in the browser

• Delete / uninstall skills

SKILL.md Format

---
name: my-skill
description: One-line description of what this skill does.
compatibility: claude-3-5-sonnet, claude-3-opus
---

# My Skill

Detailed instructions for the model go here in standard Markdown.
Use headings, lists, code blocks — whatever best conveys the behaviour.

The name field (max 64 chars) becomes the skill's slug. The description field (max 1 024 chars) is shown in the admin UI. The compatibility field is optional and informational.

➡️ See Agent Skills reference for the complete specification, filters, and developer API.

🧪 Backend Testing

Test assistants, professions, and teams directly from the WordPress admin before deploying to end users:

Test Assistant (Admin → AI Assistants → Test Assistant)

• Full feature parity with frontend chat interfaces

• All tools enabled including sensitive/restricted tools (admin-only)

• File upload support with complete MIME type configuration

• Transcript saving for debugging and analysis

• Tool shortcuts pre-loaded from assistant configuration

• Streaming responses with real-time feedback

Test Profession (Admin → Professions → Test Profession)

• Preview profession templates before creating assistants

• Validate role descriptions and expertise areas

• Test default tool selections in live conversations

• Verify knowledge base content and accuracy

• Assess AI model performance with profession-specific tasks

Test Team (Admin → Teams → Test Team)

• Test entire teams before deployment

• Validate team member coordination and role separation

• Verify shared settings propagate correctly

• Multi-assistant conversations to test team dynamics

• Performance benchmarking across team members

Security Note: All test pages require manage_options capability and are restricted to WordPress administrators. Sensitive tools are enabled in test environments because administrators already have full site access.

🔑 Assistant API credentials

Administrators can issue per-assistant access tokens from the API Credentials meta box that appears on every assistant edit screen. Tokens are only available to users with the manage_options capability, surface the credential history in a table, and expose one-click revoke and delete actions for rapid cleanup.【F:includes/assistants/class-wp-mcp-ai-assistant-cpt.php†L483-L595】 When you click Generate Credential the plugin produces a single-use token in the form cred_xxxxx.SECRET, hashes the secret server-side, and records the issuer so you have an audit trail of who created each credential.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-credentials.php†L94-L135】

Remote integrations can authenticate by sending that token in the standard Authorization: Bearer header—no Auth0 dependency required. The REST layer validates the credential, emits structured errors when a token is revoked or malformed, and scopes the request to the assistant that issued the token so clients cannot hop between assistants without an explicit credential for each one.【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L316-L444】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-rest.php†L1282-L1321】【F:includes/class-wp-mcp-ai-credentials.php†L242-L297】

🐳 Local Development with Docker

Spin up a disposable WordPress instance that mounts the plugin source directly into the container:

docker compose up -d

• WordPress will be available at http://localhost:8000.

• The plugin source in this repository is mounted to /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/mcp-ai-wpoos inside the container, so edits on your machine are reflected immediately.

• The MySQL service is provisioned with the wordpress database, user, and password (wordpress / wordpress).

Visit the site in your browser to complete the standard WordPress installation flow, using the database credentials above when prompted. When you're finished developing, stop the stack with docker compose down.

🔁 Codex environment startup script

If you are working inside an OpenAI Codex environment, add bin/codex-startup.sh to your workspace start-up tasks so a fresh WordPress install is provisioned automatically for every session — no Docker required.

bin/codex-startup.sh

The script performs the following steps:

• Downloads WP-CLI locally (if necessary) and uses it to fetch the latest WordPress core files into .codex-wordpress/wordpress.

• Installs the SQLite Database Integration plugin so WordPress can run without a MySQL server.

• Symlinks this repository into the new install's wp-content/plugins/mcp-ai-wpoos directory.

• Installs Composer development dependencies (when available) and provisions the WordPress test suite so composer run test works immediately.

• Runs wp core install, activates the NV oOS plugin, enables pretty permalinks, and sets a default site tagline.

• Boots a development server on port 8000 via wp server and logs output to .codex-wordpress/wp-server.log.

Default credentials:

Override any of these values by exporting the environment variables WORDPRESS_URL, WORDPRESS_TITLE, WORDPRESS_ADMIN_USER, WORDPRESS_ADMIN_PASSWORD, WORDPRESS_ADMIN_EMAIL, or WORDPRESS_PORT before running the script.

🧑‍💻 Development Tooling

Install the PHP development dependencies (including PHP_CodeSniffer, the WordPress Coding Standards ruleset, and PHPUnit) with:

bin/setup-dev.sh

The script runs composer install and makes the following Composer scripts available:

These commands automatically resolve the bundled vendor/bin tools (such as phpcs, phpcbf, and phpunit), so a global installation is no longer required.

NPM Dependencies & Bundling

For details on how NPM dependencies are managed and bundled for both the base plugin and Pro addon, see DEPENDENCIES_BUNDLING.md.

Quick Reference:

• Base plugin dependencies: @microsoft/fetch-event-source, dompurify, marked, ky, chart.js, @neplex/vectorizer, @langchain/*, @mlc-ai/web-llm

• Build commands: npm run build:js, npm run install:chartjs, npm run install:vectorizer, npm run build:js:pro

• Pro addon has separate addons/pro/package.json for Pro-specific dependencies

📦 NPM Packages

Twenty-three standalone browser-utility packages have been extracted from the oOS chat UI and published to the NPM registry under the @nvdigitalsolutions scope. Each package is independently usable in any JavaScript/TypeScript project (no WordPress required).
