- TMDO_Type_Caster: text / textarea values that are arrays or objects are
stored with maybe_serialize() (was (string) → the literal "Array", which
bridge-restore-native then wrote back over native meta); from_db()
unserializes them with TMDO_Safe_Unserialize. text columns are
VARCHAR(255): longer values are stored NULL (native keeps them) and
logged as text_overflow.
- Add `wp tmdo repair-array-literals [--entity] [--confirm]`
(TMDO_Array_Literal_Repair): rewrites flat "Array" values from native
meta and lists native rows that are "Array" themselves (backup needed).
- Verify: TypeCasterSerializeTest 13 OK, ArrayLiteralRepairTest 3 OK;
unit 685 OK, integration 483 OK, phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK;
live `serialized` 3 PASS; dev36 repair dry-run lists the value corrupted
by the 2026-09-26 round trip (user #1 community-events-location)
- PR: PR-055
- Add tests/live: a `wp eval-file` runner (PASS/FAIL/XFAIL/XPASS/SKIP) with
fixtures that override entity modes in process (pre_option) and read
native / flat values with plain SQL, so WP core meta flows run for real
- shadow_write suite reproduces the dev36 finding: in shadow_read,
update_*_meta returns false and native meta is never written
(3 XFAIL marked for PR-056); the dual_write control passes
- Move the dev36 integration harness into tests/live/tools; outputs go to
cwd / $TMDO_LIVE_OUT, site URL and path are env-configurable
- Verify: wp --path=<dev36> eval-file tests/live/run.php shadow_write
→ 1 passed, 3 xfail; unit 658 OK, integration 480 OK,
phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK
- PR: PR-052
