Completes the instructor-management half of #9: the studio admin can now create instructor accounts and toggle each instructor's capabilities. - InstructorController (manage_instructors): list instructors, create a us_instructor WP user (emailing a set-password link), and a per-instructor capability detail view. - InstructorCapabilities: pure, unit-tested rules for which managed caps an admin may assign and how a submitted form maps to assignments. Managed caps are manage_offerings, manage_questions, view_own_payments, export_payments; manage_availability and view_own_lessons are core to every instructor. - A studio admin can never grant a capability it does not itself hold: only held caps (checked via current_user_can, so an administrator's dynamic grant counts) are offered, and on creation any managed cap the admin lacks is denied on the new instructor so they never exceed their creator. The role grants the managed caps by default; the page layers per-user overrides. - AdminMenu: register the Instructors page in the people section. - Tests for the capability logic; docs/features/user-roles.md updated.

Unsupervised Scheduler
A WordPress plugin for instructor/student lesson scheduling — private lessons and group classes — with offerings, intake questions, versioned policies, account registration, and (coming) online payments.
Version: 1.0.0-rc.1 · 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.
Implementation status
| Feature | Spec | Status |
|---|---|---|
| User roles & capabilities (studio admin / instructor / student) | user-roles.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Offerings (private-lesson types & group classes) | offerings.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Availability (durations, weekly recurrence, calendar) | availability-management.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Registration questions (per-offering intake) | registration-questions.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Policies (drafting, versioning, tracked acceptance) | policies.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Account registration (invite-only, signup policy acceptance) | account-registration.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Lesson booking (offering → questions → policies) | lesson-booking.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Group classes (capacity-enforced enrolment) | group-classes.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Student administration (studio-admin view) | student-administration.md | ✅ Implemented |
| Payments (e-transfer/comp + receipts + HST; Stripe card charge pending) | payments.md | 🟡 Partial |
| Payment reporting (monthly per-instructor + HST + CSV) | payment-reporting.md | ✅ Implemented |
Payments are deliberately deferred to the end: booking and enrolment ship with a clean seam (a lesson lands
pending, an enrolmentactive, withpayment_idnull) into which the pay→confirm + receipt step plugs later.
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] |
Invite-based account registration (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.
