Nice and practical plugin. It lets me see which AI bots are accessing my products and provides logs from the first day. It also generates product descriptions in a machine-readable format so AI systems can understand them more easily.

Änderungsprotokoll

2.3.2

Fixed: Activity Log now shows shopping query parameters for add-to-cart and buy-link traffic instead of hiding that signal behind the intent label.
Fixed: Activity Log now prefers canonical product URLs when a product ID can be recovered from the log row or shopping query parameters.
Improved: Category and tag endpoint display now uses canonical term paths when terms can be resolved.

2.3.1

Fixed: Dashboard analytics query blocks hardened for WordPress.org PHPCS compatibility across supported WordPress versions.
Fixed: i18n translator comments and SQL lint compliance improvements in admin analytics rendering.
Fixed: Admin dashboard stability update for analytics query parsing.

2.3.0

Security: Added signed write request verification for ACP/AJAX write surfaces, including timestamp freshness checks, replay protection, and stronger write authorization flow.
Security: Added optional agent-key write path (X-Ikaros-Agent-Key) for ACP and AJAX commerce actions.
Security: Added one-time automatic generation of missing security secrets/keys during activation and early runtime initialization.
Added: Public ACP Mode guardrails with honeypot protection, optional captcha enforcement, and strict per-minute/per-day per-IP throttling.
Added: Built-in captcha verification support for Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA v3.
Added: Settings controls for Public ACP mode, captcha provider/secrets, and quota/rate-limit configuration.
Changed: Manifest auth metadata extended for agent-key and hardened write-auth expectations.

2.2.9

Security: Removed public checkout nonce exposure from manifest and REST manifest discovery payloads.
Security: Mutating REST routes (/mcp/call, ACP write actions, and checkout session write actions) now require authenticated access via logged-in session or shared API key.
Security: Added transient-based rate limiting to mutating REST and AJAX commerce endpoints to reduce abuse and request flooding.
Changed: Checkout API metadata now advertises shared-key authentication (X-Ikaros-Key) instead of public nonce fields.

2.2.8

Fixed: Bot tracking allowlist now matches encoded REST route requests (rest_route=%2F...) for Ikaros namespaces and MCP/UCP/ACP paths.
Fixed: “API Endpoints Visited by Bot” query now matches both plain and encoded rest_route forms, ensuring REST API rows appear reliably across hosting/cache setups.

2.2.7

Fixed: “API Endpoints Visited by Bot” now includes /wp-json/ikaros/ and encoded rest_route endpoint patterns, so capabilities and protocol API hits are visible in the API table.
Improved: Bot logging now uses both parse_request and template_redirect (single-write guard) for broader request coverage, including REST requests.
Improved: API analytics cache is invalidated immediately after bot log inserts so new endpoint rows appear without delay.

2.2.6

Fixed: Bot visit tracking now runs on parse_request, ensuring REST API endpoint hits are logged reliably (not only template-driven frontend requests).
Fixed: Free tracking allowlist now includes /wp-json/ikaros/ and equivalent rest_route patterns so capability and protocol endpoints appear in API endpoint analytics.

2.2.5

Fixed: Free bot tracking now logs technical AI endpoints (/wp-json/ikaros-ai-manifest/, /wp-json/aigentic/, MCP/UCP/ACP paths, llms.txt, and manifest/feed endpoints) when tracking scope is products-only.
Improved: „API Endpoints Visited by Bot“ dashboard section now captures and displays API activity more reliably.

2.2.4

Added: New AI store capabilities endpoint at /wp-json/ikaros/v1/ai-capabilities exposing active protocols and AI capability flags.
Changed: Manifest plugin_type value updated to Ikaros Ai commerce layer across manifest outputs.
Fixed: Fallback manifest endpoint handling now returns explicit HTTP 200 for /ai-commerce.json.

2.2.3

Added: Manifest discovery metadata for the new checkout session endpoints.
Added: WooCommerce order creation on checkout session completion with returned order permalink payload.

2.2.2

Fixed: ACP WooCommerce session bootstrap no longer invokes non-prefixed external hook names, improving WordPress.org PHPCS compliance.

2.2.1

Fixed: ACP cart-dependent endpoints now initialize WooCommerce session, customer, and cart during REST requests.
Fixed: ACP add-to-cart, status, and checkout endpoints no longer fail with cart unavailable on stores where REST cart bootstrap was missing.
Improved: ACP production reliability for end-to-end agent checkout flow.

2.2.0

Added: ACP discovery metadata to the REST manifest (acp_supported and ACP endpoint URLs).
Changed: Product purchase_url now uses native WooCommerce add-to-cart flow.
Changed: Added ai_summary, product_category, and categories fields to manifest catalog items.
Changed: Deprecated custom direct-buy handler hook in favor of WooCommerce-native purchase flow.

2.0.0

Added: Dashboard page for AI visibility, bot category analysis, and top endpoint/product insights.
Added: Analytics page enhancements (date range filtering, bot intent classification, activity table, charts, CSV export).
Added: AI Readiness Score in product list (sortable/filterable column and bulk recalculate action).
Changed: Renamed „Intelligence“ section to „Dashboard“.
Changed: Consolidated free settings and policy controls into one unified Settings page.
Security: Strengthened nonce validation and request hardening for admin and AJAX flows.
