Sign the automated version bump commit in CI

main now requires signed commits, and Gitea refuses to merge a pull request carrying an unsigned one, so the post-release bump PR could not be merged without disabling the protection first. The runner now signs that commit with a dedicated release-bot SSH key held as an organisation Actions secret, trusted by the instance through [repository.signing] TRUSTED_SSH_KEYS. The key Gitea signs merge commits with lives on the server and no runner can reach it. The step fails fast when the secret is missing, unparseable or passphrase protected, and the commit is re-read before pushing so an unsigned one is caught here rather than days later at merge time.

+### Security
+- **Signing in on the front end no longer hands out a session cookie that can travel over plain HTTP.** The studio's own login form told WordPress not to work out for itself whether the site was secure, and WordPress took that as "it is not" — so on an HTTPS site every student's session cookie was issued without the flag that keeps a browser from ever sending it unencrypted. Anyone able to watch the network and provoke a single `http://` request to the site could have lifted a signed-in session with it. The form now leaves that judgement to WordPress, which is what the standard login screen has always done. Nothing changes for you; existing sessions are unaffected.
+- **Plugin updates are now only accepted from the release server itself.** The update check asks the repository where to download the new version and used to take whatever answer came back. An answer that was not really the release server's — a hijacked hostname, a tampered response — could have pointed the site at any file on the internet, which WordPress would then have unpacked over the plugin. The download address must now be `https` on `git.unsupervised.ca` exactly; a lookalike, a subdomain, or an unencrypted address is refused and no update is offered. Ordinary updates are unaffected.
+- **A student can no longer tell a booking that is not theirs from one that does not exist.** Cancelling someone else's lesson was already refused, but the refusal was worded differently from "no such booking" — enough for a signed-in student to work through the numbers and learn how many lessons the studio holds. Both now answer identically. Withdrawing from a group class was the same and has had the same treatment.
+- **Students created by anything other than the studio's own signup form now wait for approval.** Turning on open registration switches on WordPress's site-wide "anyone can register" setting and makes Student the default role for new accounts — which is what the studio's registration page needs, but it also arms any *other* signup form the site happens to have. An account created that way arrived able to book and be billed immediately, with no email confirmed, no approval and no policies agreed to. Any student account that appears without going through the studio's own form is now held and listed under **Students → Pending Students**, exactly like a self-signup; it can sign in, but cannot book until you approve it. Students you add yourself from wp-admin, invited students, and the children a parent adds are all unaffected.
+
+### Added
+- **You can now decide what deleting the plugin takes with it, on Access → Plugin removal.** WordPress gives an uninstall nothing to ask you with, so the answer is given ahead of time. By default your records stay: delete the plugin and your lessons, enrolments, payments, credits, intake answers, policy agreements, invites and family links are still there when you reinstall, so a delete during a migration or a bit of troubleshooting costs you nothing. Ticking **Erase everything when the plugin is deleted** — which also asks you to type DELETE, because there is no undo — drops every table, setting and role the plugin made. Either way your Stripe secret key and webhook signing secret are now forgotten on deletion, where before they stayed in the database indefinitely: they take a minute to paste back in, and live keys on a site that no longer has the code to use them are worth nothing but risk. The two WordPress settings open registration borrows are put back as they were, too, so deleting the plugin can never leave the site quietly accepting signups into a role that no longer exists.
+
+## [1.5.5]
+
+### Changed
+- **Payments moved up to version 21 of Stripe's PHP library**, from version 17. Being four major versions behind also meant asking Stripe to behave like an older version of its API; the plugin now uses API version `2026-07-29.dahlia`. Taking a card payment and handling a webhook are unchanged — the same charge is raised, the same events are honoured, and a forged webhook is still rejected. Nothing to do on your side.

+# CI
+
+CI and release jobs do not install PHP. They run inside the shared images
+maintained in [Unsupervised/ci-php](https://git.unsupervised.ca/Unsupervised/ci-php):
+
+```
+git.unsupervised.ca/unsupervised/ci-php:8.1
+git.unsupervised.ca/unsupervised/ci-php:8.2
+git.unsupervised.ca/unsupervised/ci-php:8.3
+git.unsupervised.ca/unsupervised/ci-php:8.5
+```
+
+The `Unsupervised` org is public, so they pull anonymously — no registry
+credentials in any job here. What the images contain, how they are published,
+and how to add a PHP version are documented in that repository's README.
+
+## Which job runs where
+
+| Job | Runs in |
+|---|---|
+| Coding Standards (PHPCS) | `ci-php:8.3` |
+| Static Analysis (PHPStan) | `ci-php:8.3` |
+| Tests | `ci-php:${{ matrix.php }}` |
+| Build Plugin Zip | `ci-php:8.3` |
+| No Debug Code | runner image — no PHP, and it uses GNU `grep --include` |
+| Open next-version bump PR (release.yml) | runner image — no PHP |
+
+PHPCS and PHPStan are separate jobs so a coding-standards failure still lets
+the static analysis result through. They run in parallel.
+
+## Composer
+
+`composer.lock` is committed, so every job installs the same dependency set
+and two builds of the same tag ship the same vendor tree. `bin/build-zip.sh`
+stages the lock into its build directory for the same reason, then removes it
+before writing the zip.
+
+The Composer download cache lives at `/composer/cache` — `COMPOSER_HOME` is
+`/composer` in the image — and is keyed on `composer.lock`.
+
+## Adding a PHP version to the test matrix
+
+The image has to exist first. Add the version to the `php` matrix in
+`ci-php`'s `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` and merge, then add it to the `test`
+matrix in `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` here.
+
+## Signing the version bump commit
+
+`main` is a protected branch that requires signed commits, and Gitea will not
+merge a pull request containing an unsigned one. The `bump-version` job in
+`release.yml` therefore signs the commit it makes, using a dedicated
+`release-bot` SSH key rather than the key Gitea signs merge commits with —
+that one is `[repository.signing] SIGNING_KEY` on the server and no runner can
+reach it. Keeping the CI key separate also means it can be rotated on its own
+if the secret ever leaks.
+
+There is deliberately no `release-bot` Gitea account. A key attached to an
+account is only consulted for signature checking after it has been through the
+web *Verify* flow, and that flow has no API — a bot account would need an
+interactive login to be worth anything. Listing the key under
+`TRUSTED_SSH_KEYS` instead makes Gitea verify commits signed with it without
+any account lookup, which is all the protected branch asks for.
+
+Set up once for the instance, and again only if the key is rotated:
+
+1. Generate a passphrase-less key (it has to be usable unattended):
+
+   ```
+   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C 'release-bot@unsupervised.ca' -f release-bot -N ''
+   ```
+
+2. Add the public half to `app.ini` and restart Gitea:
+
+   ```ini
+   [repository.signing]
+   TRUSTED_SSH_KEYS = ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3Nza... release-bot@unsupervised.ca
+   ```
+
+3. Store the private half as the **organisation** Actions secret
+   `RELEASE_BOT_SIGNING_KEY` (Org → Settings → Actions → Secrets): the whole
+   `release-bot` file verbatim, `-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----` header
+   and footer included — not the `.pub`, and not a GPG export. Organisation
+   secrets are readable as `secrets.RELEASE_BOT_SIGNING_KEY` from every
+   repository in the org, so no repository-level copy is needed. Delete both
+   local files afterwards.
+
+Two consequences of trusting the key instance-wide are worth knowing. Any
+commit signed with it verifies in *every* repository on the instance, not just
+these — the trust is in the key, not in a user with permissions you can scope.
+And the signature is attributed to `SIGNING_NAME` / `SIGNING_EMAIL`, not to the
+`Release Bot <[email protected]>` committer the job sets; that
+address backs no account and is only a label.
+
+The job fails fast if the secret is missing or `ssh-keygen` is absent from the
+runner image, and it re-reads the commit it just made to confirm a signature
+is attached before pushing — an unsigned bump commit would otherwise look fine
+until someone tried to merge the PR.
+
+Nothing else in the pipeline signs anything: release tags are made by a human
+through Gitea's release UI, and the merge commit is signed by the server when
+the PR is merged.

+### Holding signups that came from somewhere else
+Blocking core's own form is not the whole story. `users_can_register=1` and
+`default_role=us_student` are *site-wide* settings, so they also arm every other
+route into `wp_insert_user()` a site happens to have — another plugin's signup
+form, a membership add-on. An account minted that way arrives holding
+`book_lesson`, with no email confirmed, no studio approval and no policy

+
+So the pending state is not decided by whichever form created the account. It is

+| Anything else | **held** via `RegistrationStatus::hold()` and queued under **Pending Students** |
+
+A hold sets `us_awaiting_approval=1` *and* `us_email_confirmed=1`. The account was
+never asked to confirm anything and has no token to answer with, so blocking its

+admin approves it.

+- an invited student is approved outright by `RegistrationPage` before the auto-login — the invitation *is* the approval;
+- a guardian's child is approved outright by `GuardianService::createChild()`; the account is never signed in to, and queueing every child a family adds would be nonsense.

+# Feature: Data Removal
+
+## Overview
+What deleting the plugin takes with it, and how the site owner says so.
+
+WordPress gives an uninstall no interface of its own: `uninstall.php` runs
+headless, after the plugin is already gone from the screen, with no opportunity
+to ask anything. So the answer is given in advance, on **Access → Plugin
+removal**, and read back at uninstall time.
+
+Two things are true at once, and the split below is how both are honoured:
+
+- **A studio's records are irreplaceable.** Lessons taught, payments taken, what
+  families agreed to and when. A delete during a migration, or a
+  delete-and-reinstall while troubleshooting, must not be the thing that loses
+  them. So the data is **kept unless the owner explicitly says otherwise**.
+- **Credentials are not records.** A Stripe secret and webhook signing key can be
+  re-pasted from the Stripe dashboard in under a minute. Live keys sitting in
+  `wp_options` on a site that no longer has the code to use them are nothing but
+  exposure. So those are **always** removed.
+
+## Option `us_delete_data_on_uninstall`
+`'1'` or `'0'` (default `'0'`). Written only from the Access page.
+
+## Always removed
+Whatever the setting says:
+
+| What | Why |
+|---|---|
+| `us_stripe_secret_key`, `us_stripe_webhook_secret`, `us_stripe_publishable_key`, `us_stripe_mode` | Credentials, not records — cheap to restore, dangerous to leave |
+| `us_schedular_latest_release` transient | Cached release metadata; meaningless without the plugin |
+| The `us_generate_due_payments` cron event | Deactivation clears it too, but a site whose plugin files simply vanished never ran that hook |
+| `users_can_register` / `default_role` | Restored from the snapshot open registration took (`us_registration_prev_*`). These are the *site's* settings, borrowed; leaving them behind would leave the site accepting public signups into a Student role that is about to stop existing. Only acts when a snapshot exists |
+
+## Removed only on an explicit full purge
+- Every table in `Schema::TABLES` — all 14, dropped by name.
+- Every remaining `us_*` option, including the removal setting itself.
+- Every `us_*` user meta key, for all users (`delete_metadata( 'user', 0, $key, '', true )`) — billing overrides, child markers, birth years, pending-signup state.
+- The `us_studio_admin`, `us_instructor` and `us_student` roles.
+
+Roles go **only** on a full purge. A site keeping its data is keeping its
+students, and a student whose role was deleted out from under them holds no
+capabilities at all until the plugin is reinstalled.
+
+`Schema::TABLES` is the single list of tables the plugin owns; the `CREATE TABLE`
+statements in `Schema::tables()` spell their own names out, so a new table has to
+be added in both places or uninstalling will leave it behind.
+
+## Admin Interface
+**Access → Plugin removal** (`manage_options` — the same capability as deleting a
+plugin, so the switch and the act it governs are in the same pair of hands):
+
+- A read-only note stating what is removed regardless.
+- **Erase everything when the plugin is deleted** — off by default.
+
+Turning it **on** takes the tick *and* the word `DELETE` typed into a confirmation
+box. It is the only place in the plugin where a stray click is unrecoverable, so
+the checkbox alone is not enough. A refused confirmation reports why and still
+saves everything else on the page — a mistyped word must not silently swallow a
+capability change made in the same submit.
+
+Turning it **off** needs nothing but unticking the box. Saving the page for some
+other reason while it is already on leaves it on, without asking for the word
+again.
+
+## Implementation
+- `Unsupervised\Schedular\Uninstaller` — the option, and the whole of `run()`
+- `uninstall.php` — guards on `WP_UNINSTALL_PLUGIN`, loads the autoloader, calls `Uninstaller::run()`
+- `Unsupervised\Schedular\Schema::TABLES` — the table list
+- `Unsupervised\Schedular\Auth\AccessSettings` — the setting's UI and the typed confirmation
+- `templates/admin/access.php`

+/**
+ * What deleting the plugin takes with it.
+ *
+ * WordPress gives an uninstall no interface of its own — `uninstall.php` runs
+ * headless, after the plugin is already gone from the screen — so the choice has
+ * to be made in advance, on **Access → Plugin removal**, and read back here. Two
+ * things are true at once and the split below is how both are honoured:
+ *
+ * - A studio's records are irreplaceable. Lessons taught, payments taken, what
+ *   families agreed to and when: a deactivate-and-reinstall, or a delete during
+ *   a migration, must not be the thing that loses them. So the data is kept
+ *   unless the site owner has explicitly said otherwise.
+ * - Credentials are not records. The Stripe secret and webhook signing key can
+ *   be re-pasted from the Stripe dashboard in under a minute, and leaving live
+ *   keys in `wp_options` of a site that no longer has the code to use them is
+ *   nothing but exposure. So those go every time, choice or no choice.
+ *
+ * The two WordPress settings open registration borrows — `users_can_register`
+ * and `default_role` — are also always put back. They are the site's, not the
+ * plugin's, and leaving them behind would leave the site accepting public
+ * signups into a Student role that may no longer exist.
