What this does

Prepares the 1.7.0 release: renames the plugin to AAA Autoload Optimizer, bumps the version and fixes two readme headers. Apart from the name strings, there are no code changes in this PR. The rest of the code in the release is what's already on develop since 1.6.1:

• Fix deadlocks when concurrent requests write tracked options #81: Fix deadlocks when concurrent requests write tracked options
• 4f2ca28: Fix W3 Total Cache DbCache fatal in batch_insert
• Rename plugin + readme optimization #76: Readme improvements

Changes

• Rename to "AAA Autoload Optimizer" (decided in today's meeting). Rename plugin + readme optimization #76 renamed the headers to "Autoload Optimizer", but the admin page, README.md, known-plugins.json and docblocks still said "AAA Option Optimizer". All of them now say "AAA Autoload Optimizer", and the Tools menu label is "Autoload Optimizer". The slug, text domain, option names and namespaces stay the same.
• Version / Stable tag / package.json → 1.7.0 (it was 1.6.2 before the rename), with a 1.7.0 changelog entry and upgrade notice. package.json had been stuck at 1.3.2.
• Requires at least: 6.4 → 6.7. Rename plugin + readme optimization #76 lowered it from the 6.7 that 1.6.1 shipped with. The plugin calls wp_autoload_values_to_autoload() (added in WP 6.6) unguarded in activation, the admin page and the REST endpoints, so WP 6.4/6.5 sites would be offered an update that fatals.
• Tested up to: 7.0 → 7.1. 7.1 is the current WordPress release; Plugin Check reports 7.0 as an error.

Testing

All tests ran on a local site (WP 7.1.3, MySQL 8.0, PHP 8.3) unless noted.

Deadlock fix (src/class-database.php)

• Stress test: 20 parallel processes × 50 batch_insert() calls of 200 shuffled options.
  • v1.6.1 code: 24,800 / 200,000 increments landed. About 88% of batches were lost, and none of them reported an error.
  • This release: 200,000 / 200,000.
• 300 concurrent front-end requests (pre_option mode) and 100 (legacy mode): no lost counts and no deadlocks in debug.log.
• Retry path: I forced a real InnoDB deadlock where the plugin transaction was the victim. It got ROLLBACK, one retry, COMMIT, and each row went up by exactly +1, so nothing was double counted.
• Edge-case option names (%d/%s, quotes, backslash, emoji, numeric, case-only duplicates) all write correctly.
• Missing tracking table: the front end still returns 200 and the failed write is logged once, with no fatal.

W3 Total Cache fix

• W3TC 2.10.5 with DbCache on ($wpdb is W3TC\DbCache_WpdbNew): 60 concurrent requests all returned 200, there were no fatals, and tracking still writes.

Rename (1.7.0)

• PHP lint, PHPCS and PHPStan pass. wp plugin list shows "AAA Autoload Optimizer 1.7.0".
• No "Option Optimizer" strings remain outside the slug and text domain.
• Admin page in the browser: the page title and heading read "AAA Autoload Optimizer", the Tools menu reads "Autoload Optimizer", the options table loads, and the console is clean.
• The tests below ran on the 1.6.2 code, before the rename.

Regression checks

• Migration from the old option format: done via REST (2,501 options, 3 chunks, exact totals, existing rows merged) and via the admin UI (1,500 options).
• REST endpoints: all list and write endpoints work for an admin. Logged-out requests get 401, subscribers get 403, and requests without a nonce get 403.
• Admin UI in the browser: every tab renders, and search, Remove autoload, Delete and bulk Delete all work. The console was clean and every REST call returned 200.
• Activation, deactivation, Reset, Uninstall (drops the table and option) and reactivation all work.

Static and packaging checks

• PHP lint, PHPCS, PHPStan, and the blueprint/known-plugins JSON checks pass. PHPCompatibilityWP (7.4+) is clean, and lint is clean on PHP 8.1 and 8.5.
• Plugin Check on the build that would ship: after these header fixes, only existing or false-positive warnings remain. src/autoload.php lacks an ABSPATH guard (unchanged since 1.6.1), and the "unescaped DB parameter" warnings are all table names built from constants or SQL that is already prepared.
• Build simulation (git archive + .distignore): same file list as the 1.6.1 zip on WordPress.org. The only shipped code diff is src/class-database.php.

Not covered

• Running the code on PHP 7.4. The local 7.4 binary is broken, so 7.4 was checked statically only.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

• composer audit: squizlabs/php_codesniffer CVE-2026-67434. It's a dev-only dependency and not shipped. Needs a bump to 3.13.6+.
• playground-merged.yml has failed on every run since at least September with a workflow-file error.
• Existing npm run lint:js prettier error at js/admin-script.js:654.

Renames beyond #76

#76 renamed the plugin only in the Plugin Name header and in readme.txt (the title, the intro, and "Search for…"). Those places now say AAA Autoload Optimizer. 30420bb also renames these:

Visible to users (translatable strings in src/class-admin-page.php)

1. Browser tab page title: "AAA Option Optimizer" → "AAA Autoload Optimizer"
2. Tools menu label: "Option Optimizer" → "Autoload Optimizer"
3. Page heading: "AAA Option Optimizer" → "AAA Autoload Optimizer"
4. The help texts at the top of the "Unused, but autoloaded", "Used, but not autoloaded" and "Requested options that do not exist" tabs: "…but AAA Option Optimizer has…" → "…but AAA Autoload Optimizer has…"

Readme
5. readme.txt: "Go to Tools → Option Optimizer" → "Tools → Autoload Optimizer". #76 added this line with the old menu name. It now matches the new menu label.

Repo and data files
6. README.md: heading "AAA Option Optimizer" → "AAA Autoload Optimizer"
7. known-plugins/known-plugins.json: the plugin's own entry name. Its options now show the new name in the Source column.
8. .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/suggest-plugin-s-option-prefix.md: the about: text

Internal only, not shown to users
9. phpcs.xml.dist: ruleset name and description
10. File and class docblocks in class-admin-page.php, class-database.php, class-plugin.php and class-rest.php

Unchanged: the slug aaa-option-optimizer, the text domain, option and table names, constants, and PHP namespaces.
