Changelog

Everything learned from the beta round, plus a full pre-launch engineering audit.

Accuracy (beta-tester driven)

• Colors set through variables or theme styles (var(--bg-surface)) are no longer flagged as hardcoded.
• posts_per_page is treated as a cap, not the rendered count — a sensible query-loop limit is never flagged.
• BEM-structured classes (elements, modifiers, and component roots) are excluded from duplicate-merge and single-use findings.
• Deep-nesting discounts required list semantics (ul > li card grids).
• Responsive overflow findings now carry exact, checkable measurements (“extends 37px past the right edge”), and invisible sub-pixel spills are ignored.
• Classes used only in header/footer templates now correctly count as used — previously they could be reported unused.
• Long finding titles (duplicate-class lists, 250 unused variables) collapse to readable counts.

Smart Fix safety

• Content writes preserve backslashes in custom CSS and Code elements exactly (apply, rollback, and undo).
• Snapshots are verified before any write; a corrupt snapshot can never be restored over your content.
• Fixes take a site-wide lock, so two overlapping applies can’t interfere.
• Delete/merge fixes refuse when a class is used in header/footer templates or inside components.
• Merging duplicate variables refuses if the losing token is still referenced in theme styles, components, or custom CSS.

Scans at scale

• Scan progress persists per job and survives timeouts — an interrupted scan can no longer wedge the dashboard.
• The health score stays density-normalized at any site size (large sites no longer drift toward 100).
• Responsive checks show which breakpoints are being measured, live, and a Stop button aborts instantly.

Housekeeping

• Real server error messages now surface in the dashboard instead of generic failures.
• A new setting: optionally delete all plugin data when the plugin is deleted.
• Uninstall now removes every option, transient, and capability the plugin created.

The first public beta of Bricks Health.

• Design Consistency Audit — flags hardcoded colors that should be variables, near-duplicate styles, and off-scale spacing and typography.
• Global Class Intelligence — finds elements styled identically across your project and offers to consolidate them into one class.
• Responsive Layout Inspector — measures every breakpoint in a real browser to catch overflow, clipping, and small tap targets.
• Performance Inspector — surfaces oversized images, unbounded query loops, autoplaying media, and empty wrappers.
• Website Health Score — rolls every finding into a single trackable score.
• Smart Fixes — one-click repairs that snapshot your page first, verify the result, and undo cleanly.
