wp_cache_flush_group() before each run; with Redis Object Cache's selective
flush both are one server-side Lua scan over the site's keys, which blocked
the shared Redis for 5–20 s on dev36 (3 M keys) and broke other sites'

qbench.php bumps the routed count version (posts' last_changed before 1.3.0)

- 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

was invalidated every few seconds and keyword/filter searches recounted

direct SQL write heals on the next write.
- update_metadata_by_mid key changes: the old key is remembered in
update_{type}_metadata_by_mid and re-synced too.
- wpdo_after_write / wpdo_after_delete fire from the sync with the same
arguments; aeav_only keeps the pre-filter short-circuit unchanged.
- $internal_ops lock key includes the entity type (user 5 ≠ post 5).
- Live suite resync: 4 entities × 2 modes × 3 scenarios (old code: 16 of
24 FAIL); integration: pre-filter leaves flat to the sync, delete_all
re-syncs every touched user.
- Verify: live resync + shadow_write + serialized + zero_side_effect 33/33
PASS; unit 687 OK, integration 485 OK, phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK
- PR: PR-057
- TMDO_Zone_Router::delete_post() deleted from wp_wpdo_hot_/cold_{post_type}
whenever fields were registered for that zone, so every post delete on a
HivePress site (cold fields registered, module idle, table never created)
logged a "table doesn't exist" error. Hot and cold deletes now also need
the table to exist; module state is not checked, so a table left by a
rolled-back module still loses the rows of deleted posts.
- Live suite zero_side_effect: saving / updating / deleting an hp_listing
issues no query on missing zone tables (covers PR-054 and this PR).
- Verify: ZoneRouterTest 22 OK; live zero_side_effect + shadow_write +
serialized 9/9 PASS (old code: zero_side_effect FAIL); unit 687 OK,
integration 484 OK, phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK

- In shadow_read, TMDO_Hook_Bus::intercept_get() returned the flat value.
update_metadata() reads the old value through that filter after the Hook
Bus has upserted the new one, so WP saw old === new and never wrote native
meta: every update in shadow_read was lost on demotion (dev36 2026-09-26).
shadow_read now returns $check (native) and compares flat on a sample of
reads (filter tmdo_shadow_compare_sample_rate, default 0.1). aeav_only is
unchanged; the post query router still routes in shadow_read.
- Live suite shadow_write: xfail markers removed, HivePress listing case
added (new int key hp_rating_count); fixtures gain post() and a
post_type-scoped field()/flat().
- Verify: live shadow_write + serialized 8/8 PASS (old code: 4 FAIL);

- 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
- TMDO_Cache_Layer::prefetch() / warm_post() (and so on_save_post /
on_loop_start) queried wp_wpdo_cold_{post_type} whenever cold fields
were registered, even with the cold module idle and the table never
created: every HivePress / WC save logged "table doesn't exist" errors.
They now return unless the module is write-active and the table exists.
- CacheLayerTest activates the module in setUp; new cases assert zero cold
queries while idle or when the table is missing.
- Verify: CacheLayerTest 12 OK; unit 671 OK, integration 480 OK,
phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK; dev36 live: seeding listings/products/
vendors with cold_hp_listing idle → 0 wpdo_cold errors (was hundreds)
- PR: PR-054
- 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.
- Admin notice lists guarded entities already in aeav_only with the
restore-native command (no forced demotion on read).
- Verify: PromotionGuardTest 8 OK; unit 668 OK, integration 480 OK,
phpcs (phpcs.xml) 0, stan OK; dev36 live: 4 promotions + post-cleanup
refused, wpdo_bridge_modes unchanged
- PR: PR-053
- 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
