The password was only ever checked for length. It is now checked on both sides, with each side doing the job it can actually do. The browser scores it with zxcvbn, through WordPress's own password-strength-meter script rather than a second opinion of our own, and refuses to submit below "medium". That is the nuanced test — it knows Tr0ub4dor&3 is weaker than it looks — but it is advice a client can decline to take. Auth\PasswordPolicy runs on the server and is the rule that holds. It does not try to reproduce a strength score in PHP; it rejects the categorically bad, which is what a server can check without shipping a dictionary: too short, a well-known leaked password, fewer than four distinct characters, or the user's own name or email inside it. No composition rules — NIST advises against them, and they mostly produce predictable substitutions. Both thresholds come from the same two constants, handed to JavaScript by wp_localize_script, so the sides cannot drift into disagreeing about what was accepted. The verdict is attached to the field with setCustomValidity() rather than by disabling a button. The form has up to three submits plus a "Next" that already gates on checkValidity(), and an invalid field stops all of them without any of them needing to know why. Email validation moved ahead of the password check, since the password is now checked against the email. A blank form therefore reports the email first, which also matches the order the fields appear in. Verified the browser half against a controllable scorer: each score band blocks or allows as intended, the identity list reaches the meter, and the gate stays open while zxcvbn's dictionary is still loading — the server covers that window.

Unsupervised Scheduler
A WordPress plugin for instructor/student lesson scheduling — private lessons and group classes — with offerings, intake questions, versioned policies, account registration, and online payments.
Version: 1.0.0 · Requires: WordPress 6.0+, PHP 8.1+ · License: GPL-2.0-or-later
Pre-release. The booking platform is being built feature-by-feature; see Implementation status below.
Overview
The plugin is organised package-by-domain under src/ (PSR-4
Unsupervised\Schedular\). Each domain owns its value objects, repositories,
REST endpoints, and admin/front-end controllers. All data access goes through
repository classes against custom {prefix}us_* tables; permissions are enforced
with WordPress capabilities, never role-name checks. There is no front-end
build step (vanilla JS/CSS in assets/).
Every feature has a spec in docs/features/ describing its data
model, REST API, classes, and tests. For contributor/architecture guidance see
CLAUDE.md.

Shortcodes
| Shortcode | Purpose |
|---|---|
[us_booking] |
Student calendar + private-lesson registration flow |
[us_group_classes] |
Browse and enrol in group classes |
[us_student_login] |
Front-end student login |
[us_student_register] |
Account registration — invite-based, or open self-signup with email confirmation + admin approval (accepts signup policies) |
REST API
All endpoints live under /wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/ (e.g. /offerings,
/availability, /bookings, /enrollments, /policies, /questions).
Permissions are enforced via permission_callback capability checks. See each
feature doc for the routes and required capabilities.
Roles & capabilities
Three custom roles — Studio Admin (us_studio_admin), Instructor
(us_instructor), and Student (us_student) — plus a user_has_cap filter
that grants every studio-admin capability to WordPress administrators, so the site
owner runs the studio without a separate role. Full capability matrix in
user-roles.md.
Installation
- Build a distributable zip (see Development):
composer build # -> dist/unsupervised-schedular-<version>.zip - In wp-admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install, and activate.
Activation creates the us_* database tables and registers the roles. CI also
publishes an installable zip artifact on every merge to main.
Development
composer install # install dependencies
composer test # PHPUnit (run after every change)
composer lint # PHPStan (level 6)
composer cs # PHPCS (WordPress coding standards)
composer cs:fix # auto-fix coding standards
composer build # build the plugin zip into dist/
# a single test file / single test
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Unit/Offering/OfferingRepositoryTest.php
./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter testInsertReturnsId
Tests use Brain\Monkey and Mockery to
stub WordPress and $wpdb without a full WP install. To run the plugin in a real
WordPress without Docker, wp-now works well: npx @wp-now/cli@latest start.
CI
Gitea Actions (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) runs on every push and pull request:
lint (PHPCS), static-analysis (PHPStan), test (PHPUnit on PHP
8.1/8.2/8.3), and no-debug (rejects debug statements in src/). On merge to
main a build job publishes the installable plugin zip as an artifact.
