-# GSAP Animation Builder for WordPress
-
-A powerful and customizable GSAP animation builder plugin for WordPress that allows you to create stunning animations with ease.
-
-## Features
-
-- 🎨 **Easy Animation Creation** - Build animations with a visual interface
-- ⚡ **Performance Optimized** - Lazy loading, caching, and conditional asset loading
-- 🏗️ **Modern Architecture** - Built with design patterns (Factory, Strategy, Decorator, Singleton)
-- 🔒 **Secure** - Comprehensive security measures and data sanitization
-- 🌐 **Extensible** - Easy to extend with custom strategies and decorators
-- 📚 **Well Documented** - Comprehensive developer documentation
-
-## Requirements
-
-- WordPress 6.7+
-- PHP 7.4+
-- GSAP Library (loaded separately or included)
-
-## Installation
-
-1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
-2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
-3. Configure settings as needed
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```php
-// Get plugin instance
-$plugin = \WcfAnimationBuilder\Plugin::get_instance(WCF_ANIMATION_BUILDER_PLUGIN_FILE);
-
-// Access helpers
-$option = \WcfAnimationBuilder\Helpers\Helper::get_option('my_key', 'default');
-```
-
-### Using Animation Strategies
-
-```php
-use WcfAnimationBuilder\Strategy\AnimationStrategyFactory;
-
-// Create fade animation
-$fade_strategy = AnimationStrategyFactory::create('fade');
-$config = ['duration' => 1, 'ease' => 'power2.out'];
-$animation_code = $fade_strategy->execute($config);
-
-// Create slide animation
-$slide_strategy = AnimationStrategyFactory::create('slide');
-$config = ['duration' => 1, 'direction' => 'left'];
-$animation_code = $slide_strategy->execute($config);
-```
-
-### Conditional Asset Loading
-
-```php
-use WcfAnimationBuilder\Decorator\ConditionalAssetLoaderDecorator;
-use WcfAnimationBuilder\Factory\ComponentFactory;
-
-$base_loader = ComponentFactory::create_asset_loader();
-$conditional_loader = new ConditionalAssetLoaderDecorator(
-    $base_loader,
-    fn() => is_single()
-);
-
-$conditional_loader->enqueue_style('my-style', 'assets/style.css');
-```
-
-## Performance Optimizations
-
-The plugin includes several performance optimizations:
-
-- **Caching System** - Object caching for options and expensive operations
-- **Lazy Loading** - Components loaded only when needed
-- **Conditional Loading** - Assets loaded based on context
-- **Duplicate Prevention** - Prevents duplicate asset enqueueing
-- **Skip Unnecessary Requests** - Skips initialization on AJAX/cron requests
-
-### Using Cache
-
-```php
-use WcfAnimationBuilder\Helpers\Cache;
-
-// Cache expensive operation
-$data = Cache::remember('key', function() {
-    return expensive_operation();
-}, 3600);
-
-// Get/Set cache
-Cache::set('key', $value, 3600);
-$value = Cache::get('key', 'default');
-```
-

+
+### Fifth pass — Plugin Check (PCP) live scan (2026-08-06)
+
+Ran the official Plugin Check scanner against the working directory. Real,
+actionable findings and fixes:
+
+- **Trademark: plugin name contained "WordPress"** — wp.org's naming policy
+  disallows "WordPress" anywhere in a plugin's display name, no exceptions.
+  Both `readme.txt`'s `=== ... ===` title and `motionkit.php`'s `Plugin Name:`
+  said "Motionkit – Visual Animation with GSAP for WordPress" → renamed to
+  "Motionkit – Visual Animation with GSAP" in both places. (Historical
+  references to the old name elsewhere in this doc's earlier dated passes are
+  left as-is — they're a record of what the name was at that point in time.)
+- **`Tested up to` had a patch version** — wp.org only accepts `major.minor`
+  for this header (e.g. `7.0`, never `7.0.2`). Had been set to `7.0.2` in an
+  earlier pass to match WordPress.org's actual current release number, which
+  was the right *version* but the wrong *granularity* — fixed to `7.0` in
+  both `readme.txt` and `motionkit.php`.
+- **`ConnectPage.php:737`** — `$_POST['_wpnonce']` was passed straight into
+  `wp_verify_nonce()` without `wp_unslash()`/sanitization first. Low
+  functional risk (nonces are alphanumeric, unaffected by magic-quotes
+  slashing in practice) but a real gap against the sanitize-input pattern
+  used everywhere else in this file — fixed to sanitize+unslash before the
+  `wp_verify_nonce()` call, matching the pattern already used for every other
+  `$_POST`/`$_GET` read in this class.
+- **Stray duplicate file**: `scripts/copy-to-editor copy.js` (space in the
+  filename — an accidental OS-level copy of `copy-to-editor.js`, an older,
+  hardcoded-path version of the same script vs. the current `.env`-driven
+  one). Unreferenced anywhere, dev-only (`scripts/` already excluded via
+  `.distignore`), deleted.
+- **`phpstan-bootstrap.php` stale version**: still said `1.5.1` after the
+  `1.0.0` version-rename pass — synced. (PCP's separate "missing ABSPATH
+  guard" flag on this file was **not** acted on: this is a dev-only PHPStan
+  CLI stub that fakes plugin constants for static analysis, never included by
+  a real WP request, and already `.distignore`d — adding an ABSPATH check
+  would be following the rule's letter against a file the rule doesn't
+  actually apply to.)
+
+**Findings investigated and NOT changed** (confirmed false-positives for this
+scan mode, not real defects):
+
+- `.env`, `.env.example`, `phpcs.xml.dist`, `.distignore`, `.gitignore`,
+  `.claude`, `.github`, `CLAUDE.md`, `flow.md`, `USAGE.md`,
+  `WPORG-SUBMISSION.md` — PCP scans the raw working directory, not the
+  `.distignore`-filtered dist ZIP. Confirmed (Third pass, "GitHub Actions CI"
+  section below, and independently re-checked this pass) that every one of
+  these is already listed in `.distignore` and would not ship. Re-verify with
+  an actual `wp dist-archive` build before the real upload, per the
+  pre-submission checklist below.
+- `WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended` warnings (~40+ across
+  `ConnectPage.php`/`OAuthHandler.php`/`Frontend.php`/`ScrollSmoother.php`) —
+  investigated individually and resolved with two different fixes depending
+  on what each flagged read actually was (all *after* this doc's Fifth-pass
+  entry above, as a same-day follow-up once PCP's per-file output was
+  reviewed line by line rather than accepted as one blanket category):
+  - **`ConnectPage.php`'s `?tab=`** (sidebar navigation): given a **real
+    nonce** — `wp_nonce_url()` stamps the sidebar tab links with a
+    `motionkit_tab_nav` nonce, verified in both `render_page()` and
+    `enqueue_admin_styles()`, falling back to the default `connect` tab on
+    a missing/invalid nonce rather than hard-failing (an expired bookmark
+    shouldn't lock out navigation). Verified live for all three cases
+    (valid/missing/garbage nonce).
+  - **`render_notices()`/`get_error_message()`'s redirect-appended flags**
+    (`?error=`, `?connected=`, `?disconnected=`, `?license_refresh=`,
+    `?tools_deleted=`, `?tools_all_deleted=`, `?verify=`, `?error_message=`):
+    also given a **real nonce**, per explicit direction to prefer an actual
+    nonce over a suppress comment wherever the redirect is one this plugin
+    controls. `wp_nonce_url()` now stamps every `wp_safe_redirect()` target
+    that appends these flags — `OAuthHandler::handle_callback()` (3 sites),
+    `handle_verify()` (2 sites), `handle_disconnect()` (1 site),
+    `ConnectPage::handle_tools_actions()` (2 sites) — all with one shared
+    `motionkit_notice` nonce action. The one non-PHP-redirect case
+    (`tools_all_deleted`, set by client-side JS after the bulk-delete AJAX
+    call already succeeded) gets the nonce via `wp_create_nonce()` localized
+    into the page and appended by the JS itself.
+    `render_notices()` verifies this nonce once at the top and returns early
+    (shows no notice at all) on missing/invalid — a hand-crafted or stale
+    URL just displays nothing, since none of these flags are destructive
+    either way, so a silent fallback is sufficient (no need to hard-fail
+    like an actual write operation would). `get_error_message()` is only
+    ever called from within the already-verified `render_notices()`, so it
+    doesn't re-verify — its `// phpcs:disable` documents that inheritance
+    rather than an independent justification.
+    Verified live via 4 direct cases: valid nonce shows the notice; missing,
+    garbage, and *wrong-action* (a nonce valid for `motionkit_tab_nav`, not
+    `motionkit_notice`) nonces all correctly show nothing. Also confirmed
+    `wp_nonce_url()`'s output round-trips cleanly through `wp_safe_redirect()`
+    (plain URL string with `&_wpnonce=...` appended, no encoding issues).
+  - **Left as documented suppressions** (a WP nonce genuinely isn't the
+    right mechanism for these, not just inconvenient to add):
+    `OAuthHandler::handle_callback()`'s *inbound* `$_GET['code']`/
+    `$_GET['state']` reads (OAuth's own `state` transient + `hash_equals()`
+    is the correct CSRF mechanism here — the callback is reached via
+    motionkit.io's redirect, which has no way to know a WP nonce secret to
+    produce one), `Frontend::is_editor_preview()` (gated by JWT validation,
+    a stronger authentication than a nonce, and the URL is generated by
+    editor.motionkit.io, not WP admin, so a WP nonce couldn't be embedded in
+    it either), `Frontend::is_full_preview()`/
+    `ScrollSmoother::run_scroll_smoother()` (pure read-only mode-detection
+    booleans set by the same editor-generated URLs, no state change), and
+    `Frontend::enqueue_editor_preview_scripts()` (only ever reached after
+    `is_editor_preview()` already validated the token earlier in the same
+    request). Each has a targeted method-level
+    `// phpcs:disable WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended` /
+    `// phpcs:enable` pair with the specific reasoning documented inline.
+
+    **Also added** (per explicit direction that a code comment alone might
+    not read as sufficiently convincing to a human wp.org reviewer, who
+    isn't running phpcs and won't see the inline suppression comments unless
+    they open the specific file): a dedicated `readme.txt` FAQ entry, "Why
+    don't all requests use a WordPress nonce?", written in plain language
+    for a non-developer to follow — explains that every state-changing
+    admin action *does* use a nonce, and that the two exceptions (OAuth
+    callback, editor-preview iframe) use OAuth's `state` parameter and a
+    signed JWT respectively because those requests originate from
+    motionkit.io/editor.motionkit.io, not from a link this WordPress site
+    generated, so a WP nonce literally cannot be produced by the other
+    party. Each affected inline comment now also points at this FAQ entry
+    by name, so a reviewer following either code or docs lands on the same
+    explanation.
+
+  Verified against the **unmodified** `WordPress-Extra` standard directly
+  (not just this project's lenient `phpcs.xml.dist`, since PCP doesn't
+  honor that file): a full `includes/` sweep for this sniff now returns
+  zero findings. `phpcs.xml.dist` and PHPStan both stay clean too, and the
+  site was smoke-tested live (loads clean, no fatals) after every change.
+- `WordPress.DB.DirectDatabaseQuery.*` warnings on the Tools tab bulk-delete
+  queries and `uninstall.php` — all use `$wpdb->prepare()` correctly; these
+  are one-shot admin-triggered/uninstall-time queries, not hot-path reads
+  that would benefit from `wp_cache_*` wrapping.
+- `Plugin.php:197` — `PreparedSQL.InterpolatedNotPrepared` /
+  `PreparedSQLPlaceholders.UnfinishedPrepare` on
+  `maybe_fix_autoload_flags()`'s dynamic `IN ({$placeholders})` clause. The
+  sniff can't trace that `$placeholders` is itself built from `%s` tokens
+  (`implode(',', array_fill(0, count($hot_options), '%s'))`) sized to match
+  the hardcoded `$hot_options` literal — the standard pattern for a
+  variable-length `IN (...)` with `$wpdb->prepare()`'s variadic args. Real
+  code, not user input; confirmed false-positive same as the equivalent
+  finding already excluded in `phpcs.xml.dist` for `ConnectPage.php`'s bulk
+  queries. Added a targeted `// phpcs:ignore` on the flagged line (rather
+  than another blanket `phpcs.xml.dist` exclusion) since PCP doesn't honor
+  that file — verified clean against the *unmodified* `WordPress-Extra`
+  standard directly, not just this project's lenient ruleset.
+- `PrefixAllGlobals.NonPrefixedVariableFound` on `uninstall.php`'s local
+  variables — WP core guarantees `uninstall.php` runs in an isolated,
+  single-execution scope; local variable names there can't collide with
+  anything.

-# Languages Directory
-
-This directory contains translation files for the plugin.
-
-## File Types
-
-### .pot (Portable Object Template)
-- Template file containing all translatable strings
-- Used by translators as a reference
-- Example: `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress.pot`
-
-### .po (Portable Object)
-- Source file for translations
-- Contains original strings and translations
-- Example: `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-en_US.po`
-
-### .mo (Machine Object)
-- Compiled binary version of .po file
-- Used by WordPress to load translations
-- Generated from .po file
-- Example: `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-en_US.mo`
-
-## File Naming Convention
-
-Translation files should follow this naming pattern:
-
-```
-gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-{locale}.{extension}
-```
-
-Where `{locale}` is the language code (e.g., `en_US`, `es_ES`, `fr_FR`)
-
-### Examples:
-- `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-en_US.po`
-- `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-es_ES.po`
-- `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-fr_FR.po`
-- `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-de_DE.po`
-
-## Loading Translations
-
-The plugin automatically loads translations via `load_textdomain()` in `Plugin.php`:
-
-```php
-load_textdomain(
-    'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress',
-    plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . '../languages/gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-' . get_locale() . '.mo'
-);
-```
-
-## Creating Translation Files
-
-### Using Poedit (Recommended)
-
-1. Download and install [Poedit](https://poedit.net/)
-2. Open Poedit and select "New Translation"
-3. Select the `.pot` file from this directory
-4. Choose your target language
-5. Translate the strings
-6. Save the file as `gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-{locale}.po`
-7. Poedit will automatically generate the `.mo` file
-
-### Using WP-CLI
-
-```bash
-# Extract translatable strings
-wp i18n make-pot . languages/gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress.pot
-
-# Create .po file from .pot
-wp i18n make-pot . languages/gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-es_ES.po
-
-# Generate .mo file from .po
-msgfmt languages/gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-es_ES.po -o languages/gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress-es_ES.mo
-```
-
-### Using grunt-wp-i18n (For Build Process)
-
-```javascript
-// gruntfile.js
-wp_i18n: {
-    default: {
-        options: {
-            domainPath: '/languages',
-            potFilename: 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress.pot',
-            type: 'wp-plugin'
-        },
-        files: {
-            src: ['**/*.php']
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Using Translatable Strings in Code
-
-### Basic Translation Function
-
-```php
-__('Text to translate', 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress')
-```
-
-### Echo Translation
-
-```php
-_e('Text to translate', 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress')
-```
-
-### Get Translation with Context
-
-```php
-_x('Text', 'Context', 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress')
-```
-
-### Plural Translation
-
-```php
-_n('Single item', 'Multiple items', $count, 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress')
-```
-
-### Translation with Placeholders
-
-```php
-sprintf(
-    __('Welcome, %s!', 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress'),
-    $username
-)
-```
-
-## Text Domain
-
-The plugin's text domain is: **`gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress`**
-
-Always use this text domain when calling translation functions:
-
-```php
-__('Hello World', 'gsap-animation-builder-for-wordpress')
-```
-
-## Default Language
-
-The plugin's default language is English (`en_US`). If no translation file exists for a locale, WordPress will fall back to the default language strings.
-
-## Contributing Translations
-
-1. Create a `.po` file for your locale
-2. Translate all strings
-3. Generate the corresponding `.mo` file
-4. Submit both files as a pull request or send to the plugin author
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always use translation functions** - Never hardcode translatable strings
-2. **Use descriptive text** - Make strings clear for translators
-3. **Avoid concatenation** - Use placeholders instead
-4. **Context matters** - Use `_x()` when context is needed
-5. **Plural forms** - Use `_n()` for plural strings
-6. **Keep text domain consistent** - Always use the plugin's text domain

+Yes. The editor connection uses signed, single-use session tokens rather than long-lived credentials in the browser. All input is sanitized, all output is escaped, admin actions are nonce-protected and capability-checked, and the stored connection token is encrypted at rest (AES-256). See "Why don't all requests use a WordPress nonce?" below for the handful of request types that use a different (equally strong) mechanism instead of `_wpnonce`.

+= Why don't all requests use a WordPress nonce? =
+
+Every admin action that changes something on your site — connecting, disconnecting, verifying the connection, deleting saved animations, and navigating between the admin page's tabs — is protected by a standard WordPress nonce (`wp_verify_nonce()`), checked before anything happens.
+
+A small number of requests use a different, purpose-built mechanism instead of a WordPress nonce, because a `_wpnonce` genuinely can't be used there — not because it was skipped:
+
+* **The OAuth callback from editor.motionkit.io** (after you click "Connect") is a redirect sent by Motionkit's server, not a link or form this site generated. A WordPress nonce is derived from this site's own secret keys, which Motionkit's server has no way to know, so it can't produce a valid one. Instead this step is protected the way OAuth is designed to be: a random, single-use `state` value this site generates before redirecting you to Motionkit, stored server-side, and checked with a timing-safe comparison when you're redirected back — the standard OAuth CSRF defense, and the reason this flow works the same way it does for "Sign in with Google/GitHub/etc." on any other site.
+* **The Motionkit editor's live-preview iframe** (opened from editor.motionkit.io, not from a link this WordPress site generated) identifies itself with a signed session token (JWT) rather than a nonce, for the same reason: the token has to be generated and validated by a party WordPress's nonce system doesn't share secrets with. The token is short-lived, single-use where applicable, and validated on every request — see "Is the plugin secure?" above for how it's issued and stored.
+
+In both cases the alternative mechanism is checked before any data is read or written; nothing is left unprotected, it's simply protected by the right tool for a request that doesn't originate from this WordPress site's own admin pages.

 **Why GSAP isn't bundled with this plugin:** GSAP is developed and licensed by Webflow, Inc. under the "GSAP Standard No Charge" license (https://gsap.com/licensing/), not the GPL or an OSI-approved open-source license. Under that license GSAP itself is free to use, including plugins that were formerly paid-only (SplitText, MorphSVGPlugin, DrawSVGPlugin, etc.), but its terms are not GPL-compatible, so this plugin cannot redistribute GSAP's source files inside its own (GPLv2-or-later) codebase. Loading it from a CDN at the version and URL you (or the Motionkit editor's defaults) configure keeps GSAP's own license terms intact and outside this plugin's redistribution — the same reasoning that governs any GPL WordPress plugin that depends on a non-GPL-compatible JavaScript library it can't ship internally.
