- cached counts followed posts' last_changed, which WordPress moves on any
post meta write; themes write meta on page views (on dev36 Blocksy saved a
dynamic-CSS descriptor for each listing a crawler visited), so the cache
was invalidated every few seconds and keyword/filter searches recounted
- counts now follow their own last_changed group (tmdo_posts), bumped on
clean_post_cache (post saved or deleted; hooked in every mode) and on flat
writes through the Hook Bus, plus terms' last_changed; a routed search reads
no unmanaged meta

save or flat write recounts), integration 588, unit 703, phpcs, stan;
dev36 front-end
- PR: PR-117 (2.3 acceptance)
- a deferred group whose stored definition matches again (reverted, or
upgraded by another process) goes through end_deferral() instead of staying
native for good (review F2)
- the tmdo_ensure_group_indexes handler upgrades deferred tables itself: with
ALTERNATE_WP_CRON the event runs after init in a visitor's request (F3)
- a new group table created while the entity writes to flat stays native
until the drift fix has filled it from native meta; an opted-in HivePress
attribute no longer routes searches to an empty table (F6)
- direct_read() returns native values for a deferred group (F10); the Hook
Bus ignores deferral in aeav_only, as the router does
- dbDelta failures: the definition is recorded only when every column exists
(schema.upgrade_failed otherwise), so a failed ALTER is retried and the
group is not released onto missing columns
- test bootstrap: get_metadata() reads the real meta table
- Verify: SchemaUpgradeDeferralTest (6), Hook Bus direct read, integration
587, unit 703, phpcs, stan
- PR: PR-114 (2.3 acceptance correctness review)

tmdo_schema_ddl_allowed); web requests, including /wp-admin/ before
auth_redirect() and admin-post.php, schedule tmdo_ensure_group_indexes instead
- MySQL GET_LOCK keeps it to one process (add_option() is INSERT ... ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and cannot serve as a lock); released by MySQL if the
process dies
- the applied signature is recorded only when every ALTER succeeds; failures
log schema.index_failed and stay in pending_indexes(), which doctor reports

- WooCommerce reads product meta directly and writes stock by SQL, so a flat copy drifted (R-2.1 V1 T4); product meta now stays in native only (plan decision 2). TMDO_Post_Fields registers wp_core, attachment and nav_menu_item. Existing wp_wpdo_post_wc_product tables are left in place and still dropped on uninstall; the orphan restore registers nothing for them while native meta holds the keys; `wp tmdo bridge-restore-native post --group=wc_product --retire` archives them.
- Tests that route products register the former group themselves (tmdo_test_register_wc_product_group(), same name and table); live router Q06 runs on wp_core's _wp_page_template instead of _sku. The post stress tester already skips flat tables that do not exist.
- Verify: PostFieldsRegistrationTest (RED before); dev36: wc_product absent from the registry and not restored as an orphan, a CLI order took stock 452 → 450 in native with no DB error (reverted), drift post 10 groups 0.
- PR: PR-077
- doctor: entity flat tables come from the registry (TMDO_CLI::check_entity_tables()) instead of a hard-coded user list naming the never-registered sso group, which failed doctor on every site; it also reports Promotion Guard violations and the recorded drift status per entity (report_guard_and_drift()).
- term-comment-diagnose: filter status comes from each filter's is_enabled() (the garbage filter and misc bucket default to off but were shown enabled); a filter whose add-on is not active shows "not installed".
- bridge-status: flat_rows counts rows holding a value (wp_core keeps an all-NULL row per post: 15306% on dev36) and eav_ids of a post-type group counts only its post types.
- Tests: the WP_CLI stubs record their output in $GLOBALS['_wp_cli_output'].
- Verify: DoctorTest, CliFilterStatusTest, CliBridgeStatusTest (RED before); dev36 doctor exit 1 → 0, wp_core 15306% → 100%.

- The post query router routes no clause of a group whose last drift-check recorded miss / diff / extra; all or nothing, so such a query stays fully native. A group never checked keeps routing (decision 2026-09-27: no slowdown after upgrading; PR-073 samples daily).
- The check sits in route_clause(), which every routed clause, HivePress sort shape and meta_key sort goes through.
- Verify: PostQueryRouterDriftTest (drifting group and drifting sort key RED before); dev36 hp_listing price search in shadow_read: clean → flat, drift → native, unchecked → flat, found 90347 each.

- posts_request only drops SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, but WordPress then treated the request as filtered and selected full post rows through a temporary table; split_the_query now keeps the ID-first split for routed searches when nothing else changed the request, and posts_request_ids drops SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS from the split ID query
- Verify: tests/live/run.php router (12/12, IDs-first request, found_posts == native); dev36 fe.sh price 589→340 ms, price__asc 961→427 ms, rating__desc 1724→872 ms, hourly_rate__desc 855→884 ms (was 1206)

- 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 TMDO_Promotion_Guard: HivePress models read every meta key with an
empty-key get_*_meta() and WooCommerce does the same for products (and
writes stock/sales with direct SQL), so on those sites native meta must
stay authoritative. Promotion to aeav_only is refused in
TMDO_Mode_Manager::set() (covers REST, CLI, phases, auto-promoter) for
post/user/term/comment with HivePress and post/user with WooCommerce;
TMDO_Post_Migration::cleanup() and the cleanup phase refuse too.
Demotion stays open; filter tmdo_promotion_guard_allow overrides.

- retire() read native meta with wpdb::get_col(), which (via get_var())
returns null for an empty string, so a flat '' written back as '' was
counted as a mismatch and blocked the retirement. It now reads raw rows
with get_results().
- The integration test wpdb stub's get_var() / get_col() now read '' as
null like the real wpdb, so tests see WordPress behaviour.

- TMDO_Post_Query_Router drops SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS from routed searches
(posts_request) and answers found_posts_query from a COUNT(*) of the
same query, cached in the object cache under posts' last_changed.
- Hook Bus flat post writes and deletes move posts' last_changed: in
aeav_only they skip update_metadata()'s own hooks, so query caches
would otherwise outlive the write.
- Bench (1M): cached page 8 ms (was 694 / 363 ms for scenarios 1 / 2);

- TMDO_Post_Status_Sync: post group tables get post_status / post_date
columns (posts' collation) and an (post_status, post_date) index.
Brand-new empty tables get them on creation; existing tables only via
`wp tmdo post-status-sync [--dry-run] [--batch]`, never as DDL on a
populated table in a web request. Per-group state in
tmdo_post_status_columns ('columns' | 'ready').
