Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/scottjgd/boreal-relay/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/scottjgd/boreal-relay ↗

Boreal Relay is the free WordPress.org edition of Borealform's BYOK AI support assistant. It includes chat, approved starter knowledge, conversation history, feedback, human escalation, and widget settings without a licence.

Public source: https://github.com/scottjgd/boreal-relay

The commercial boreal-relay-pro add-on is maintained separately and must never be copied into this plugin or its WordPress.org ZIP.

Build the WordPress.org package

node scripts/package-wordpressorg.mjs

The packager creates .wordpressorg-dist/boreal-relay.zip plus a versioned submission ZIP and rejects unexpected files, licence code, Pro source, external updater hooks, Borealform licence endpoints, legacy short global identifiers, and nested development artifacts.

Release checks

  1. Run PHP syntax checks across the free and Pro source.
  2. Build both ZIPs with their dedicated scripts.
  3. Run WordPress Plugin Check in strict mode against the extracted free ZIP.
  4. Test Free alone on a clean WordPress install.
  5. Test Pro inactive, valid, invalid, revoked, expired, and offline.
  6. Capture real WordPress screenshots for the directory listing.
  7. Upload only the free ZIP/source to WordPress.org.

External service boundary

Free contacts OpenAI only after the site administrator saves their own API key and a visitor uses chat. It does not contact Borealform, load remote code, perform licence checks, or use a commercial updater.
