Description

Fixes the fatal error when running Plugin Check on WordPress 7.0 beta 2 by removing the custom AI Connect integration and migrating Plugin Namer to WordPress core AI APIs.

Fixes #1192

Changes

• Use core AI client
  Plugin Namer now uses wp_ai_client_prompt() and core-compatible prompt builder calls instead of the old AI Connect layer.

• Official provider/model listing flow (core source aligned)
  Model listing now follows the same approach as the official source:

  • AiClient::defaultRegistry()
  • getRegisteredProviderIds()
  • isProviderConfigured( $provider_id )
  • modelMetadataDirectory()->listModelMetadata()
    Only configured providers are listed, and models are grouped by provider in the UI.

• Remove plugin-level AI settings integration
  Removed:

  • includes/Admin/Settings_Page.php
  • includes/Traits/AI_Connect.php
  • assets/js/admin-settings.js
    AI configuration is handled in WordPress core settings/connectors only.

• Namer availability and UX updates

  • Added core AI availability checks (wp_ai_client_prompt, WP 7.0+, text generation support).
  • If AI is unavailable/not configured, Namer shows guidance only (no input fields, no submit button).
  • Added a direct button to open connectors settings:
    wp-admin/options-general.php?page=connectors-wp-admin.

• Plugin registration cleanup

  • Plugin_Main no longer registers the removed Settings page.

• Documentation update

  • readme.txt now states Plugin Namer requires WordPress 7.0+ with configured core AI connectors.

• Dependencies/config

  • Removed AI client package dependency from composer.json/composer.lock related to the old integration.
  • Updated PHPMD handling to match the refactor and keep checks green.

Benefits

• Removes WP 7.0 beta 2 fatal error path.
• Aligns Plugin Namer with WordPress core AI architecture.
• Avoids duplicated provider/key settings inside Plugin Check.
• Uses the official configured-provider model listing behavior.
• Provides clear fallback UX when connectors are unavailable.

Testing Instructions

1. Check out this branch and activate Plugin Check in WP 7.0 beta 2+.
2. Open Tools → Plugin Check and confirm no fatal errors.
3. Open Tools → Plugin Check Namer and verify:
   • With configured connectors: form is visible, provider-grouped model select is populated, name evaluation works.
   • Without configured connectors: advice-only view is shown (no fields/button), with a button to open connectors settings.
4. On WordPress < 7.0, open Tools → Plugin Check Namer and confirm requirement messaging appears without fatals.
5. Run:
   • composer lint
   • composer phpmd
   • composer phpstan (if applicable)
