Vendor packages and autoload

This plugin uses Composer and loads vendor/autoload.php for:

• yahnis-elsts/plugin-update-checker (PucFactory) – update checks from GitHub.

Adding or changing vendor packages

1. Run composer require <package> or edit composer.json and run composer update.
2. For packages that might be loaded by other plugins (e.g. PUC), keep the class_exists() guard before require_once ... vendor/autoload.php so only one autoload runs.

Linting (WordPress PHP standards)

• Conditional lint (runs PHPCS only when plugin code has functions, methods, classes, or use statements): composer run lint
• Unconditional lint: composer run lint:all or ./vendor/bin/phpcs
• Auto-fix: composer run lint:fix or ./vendor/bin/phpcbf
• Fix twice then lint (all-in-one): composer run lint:run

To block merges to any branch when lint fails, enable branch protection and require the Lint status check; see .github/BRANCH_PROTECTION.md.
