## Tech Stack

### Backend
| Technology | Details |
|------------|---------|
| **PHP** | 8.0+ with strict types |
| **Framework** | WordPress REST API |
| **Namespace** | `PresszoneForumPlugin` |
| **Tables** | `presszone_forum_warnings`, `presszone_forum_reports` |

### Frontend (Admin SPA)
| Technology | Details |
|------------|---------|
| **JavaScript** | Vanilla ES6+ (NO framework) |
| **CSS** | Plain CSS with `--presszone-forum-*` variables |
| **Routing** | Hash-based: `#/moderation/overview`, `#/moderation/reports`, etc. |
| **Entry** | `admin/src-vanilla/pages/bans.js` |

---

## WordPress.org Compliance Rules

### Security Requirements

1. **Audit Logging** - All moderation actions MUST be logged
2. **Permission Checks** - Always verify `Roles::canModerate()` before actions
3. **Nonce Verification** - Use `check_ajax_referer()` for AJAX, REST nonces for API
4. **Input Sanitization** - Use `sanitize_textarea_field()`, `absint()`, etc.
5. **Prepared Statements** - Always use `$wpdb->prepare()` for queries

### JavaScript Naming (CRITICAL)

```javascript
// CORRECT - 4+ character descriptive names
const PresszoneForumApp = {};
window.presszoneForumData = {};

// FORBIDDEN - Will cause plugin rejection
const FPZ = {};      // 3 letters - TOO SHORT
const pz = {};       // 2 letters - TOO SHORT
```

---

## Ban System (`Bans` Class)

### Constants

```php
// User meta keys
private const META_BANNED = 'presszone_forum_banned';
private const META_BAN_EXPIRES = 'presszone_forum_ban_expires';
private const META_BAN_REASON = 'presszone_forum_ban_reason';
private const META_BANNED_BY = 'presszone_forum_banned_by';
private const META_BANNED_AT = 'presszone_forum_banned_at';
private const META_BAN_NOTES = 'presszone_forum_ban_notes';

// Predefined durations (seconds)
public const DURATION_1_DAY = 86400;
public const DURATION_1_WEEK = 604800;
public const DURATION_1_MONTH = 2592000;
public const DURATION_PERMANENT = 'permanent';
```

### Key Methods

| Method | Signature | Purpose |
|--------|-----------|---------|
| `ban()` | `static ban(int $userId, $duration, string $reason = '', string $notes = '', ?int $bannedBy = null): bool` | Ban a user |
| `unban()` | `static unban(int $userId): bool` | Remove ban |
| `isBanned()` | `static isBanned(int $userId): bool` | Check if currently banned |
| `getBanInfo()` | `static getBanInfo(int $userId): ?array` | Get full ban details |
| `getBannedUsers()` | `static getBannedUsers(int $limit = 50, int $offset = 0): array` | List banned users |
| `getBanMessage()` | `static getBanMessage(int $userId): string` | User-facing ban message |

### Ban Patterns

```php
// Ban a user for 1 week
Bans::ban($userId, Bans::DURATION_1_WEEK, 'Spam', 'Internal notes', get_current_user_id());

// Permanent ban
Bans::ban($userId, 'permanent', 'Repeated violations');

// Check before allowing actions
if (Bans::isBanned($userId)) {
    return new WP_Error('banned', Bans::getBanMessage($userId));
}

// Auto-unban on expiry (handled in isBanned())
// When checking isBanned(), expired bans are automatically cleared
```

### Protection Rules

```php
// Administrators CANNOT be banned
if (user_can($userId, 'administrator')) {
    return false;
}
```

---

## Warning System (`Warnings` Class)

### Types

```php
public const TYPE_WARNING = 'warning';  // Note only, no restriction
public const TYPE_MUTE = 'mute';        // Cannot post
public const TYPE_BAN = 'ban';          // Full ban (uses Bans class)
```

### Mute Durations

```php
public const DURATION_1_HOUR = 3600;
public const DURATION_24_HOURS = 86400;
public const DURATION_1_WEEK = 604800;
```

### Key Methods

| Method | Signature | Purpose |
|--------|-----------|---------|
| `issue()` | `static issue(int $userId, string $type, string $reason, ?int $duration, ?int $postId, ?int $issuedBy, ?string $moderatorNotes): int\\|false` | Issue warning/mute/ban |
| `getWarnings()` | `static getWarnings(int $userId, bool $activeOnly = false): array` | User's warnings |
| `getActiveMute()` | `static getActiveMute(int $userId): ?array` | Active mute info |
| `canPost()` | `static canPost(int $userId): bool` | Check if can post |
| `clear()` | `static clear(int $warningId): bool` | Deactivate a warning |
| `getSuggestedAction()` | `static getSuggestedAction(int $userId): array` | AI-style escalation suggestion |
| `getEscalationLevel()` | `static getEscalationLevel(int $userId): int` | 0-4 escalation level |

### Warning Patterns

```php
// Issue a warning (note only)
Warnings::issue($userId, Warnings::TYPE_WARNING, 'Off-topic post', null, $postId, get_current_user_id());

// Issue a 24-hour mute
Warnings::issue($userId, Warnings::TYPE_MUTE, 'Spam behavior', 86400, null, get_current_user_id(), 'Third offense this week');

// Check if user can post
if (!Warnings::canPost($userId)) {
    $message = Warnings::getMuteMessage($userId);
    wp_send_json_error(['message' => $message], 403);
}

// Get suggested action based on history
$suggested = Warnings::getSuggestedAction($userId);
// Returns: ['type' => 'mute', 'duration' => 86400, 'rationale' => 'User has 3 warnings...']
```

### Escalation Logic

| Level | Status | Description |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| 0 | Clean | No infractions |
| 1 | Warned | Has warnings |
| 2 | Muted | Has been muted |
| 3 | Banned | Has been banned |
| 4 | Perm Candidate | 3+ bans, permanent ban recommended |

### Configurable Thresholds (Options)

| Option | Default | Purpose |
|--------|---------|---------|
| `presszone_forum_warning_threshold_mute` | 3 | Warnings before suggesting mute |
| `presszone_forum_warning_threshold_ban` | 5 | Warnings before suggesting ban |
| `presszone_forum_permanent_ban_threshold` | 3 | Bans before suggesting permanent |
| `presszone_forum_default_mute_duration` | 86400 | Default mute length (seconds) |
| `presszone_forum_default_ban_duration` | 604800 | Default ban length (seconds) |

---

## Content Validation (CRITICAL - Use PostCreator)

### NEVER Duplicate Validation Logic

**ALWAYS use `PostCreator` methods. NEVER inline validation code.**

```php
// CORRECT - Reuse centralized methods
$creator = new PostCreator();
try {
    $creator->checkExternalLinks($content);  // Blocks external URLs
    $creator->checkWordFilter($content);      // Blocks banned words
} catch (\\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    // Handle error
}

// WRONG - Duplicating validation logic inline
$urlPattern = '#(?:https?://|www\\.)[^\\s<"\\')\\]]+#i';
if (preg_match($urlPattern, $message)) { ... }  // NO! Use checkExternalLinks()
```

### Available Validation Methods

| Method | Purpose | Throws |
|--------|---------|--------|
| `checkExternalLinks($content)` | Blocks external URLs when setting disabled | `InvalidArgumentException` |
| `checkWordFilter($content)` | Blocks banned words/phrases | `InvalidArgumentException` |
| `sanitizeMessage($content)` | HTML to BBCode conversion, sanitization | - |
| `parseMessage($content)` | BBCode to HTML for display | - |

### Word Filter Pattern

The word filter supports wildcards:

```php
// In admin settings: word filter option is comma-separated
// Examples:
// "spam" = matches only whole word "spam" (not "antispam")
// "*fuck*" = matches anywhere (fucking, motherfuck)
// "*fuck" = matches at word end
// "fuck*" = matches at word start
```

### External Links Check

```php
// Option: presszone_forum_allow_external_links ('1' or '0')
// When '0', blocks all non-site URLs:
// - http://example.com
// - https://example.com
// - www.example.com
```

---

## Report Queue (`Reports` Class)

### Report Statuses

| Status | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `open` | Pending review |
| `resolved` | Action taken |
| `rejected` | Dismissed, no action needed |

### REST Endpoints

| Route | Method | Permission | Purpose |
|-------|--------|------------|---------|
| `/reports` | GET | Moderator | List reports |
| `/reports/{id}/resolve` | POST | Moderator | Mark resolved |
| `/reports/{id}/dismiss` | POST | Moderator | Dismiss report |
| `/reports/{id}/delete-content` | POST | Moderator | Soft-delete content, resolve |
| `/reports/{id}/delete-thread` | POST | Moderator | Delete entire thread, resolve |

### Report Workflow

```php
// 1. User submits report (AJAX)
// Action: wp_ajax_presszone_forum_report_content

// 2. Moderator views queue
$reports = new Reports();
$data = $reports->getReports($request);  // Filtered by moderator's access level

// 3. Moderator takes action
// - resolve: Mark as handled, no content change
// - dismiss: Mark as rejected, no action
// - delete-content: Soft-delete the post, resolve
// - delete-thread: Soft-delete entire thread + all posts, resolve

// 4. Soft delete pattern
$wpdb->update(
    $this->prefix . 'posts',
    [
        'is_soft_deleted' => 1,
        'deleted_at' => current_time('mysql', true),
        'deleted_by' => get_current_user_id()
    ],
    ['post_id' => $contentId]
);
```

### Access Control

Forum Moderators only see reports from their assigned forums:

```php
if (!Roles::canModerateAll()) {
    $moderators = new Moderators();
    $nodeIds = $moderators->getAllModeratedNodes(get_current_user_id());
    // Filter reports by node_id in SQL
}
```

---

## Nested Content Parsing (BBCode)

### Use Negative Lookahead for Nested Structures

```php
// CORRECT - Matches innermost quotes first (no nested [quote inside)
'#\\[quote="([^"]+)"\\]((?:(?!\\[quote).)*?)\\[/quote\\]#is'

// WRONG - Matches first [/quote] found, breaks nesting
'#\\[quote="([^"]+)"\\](.*?)\\[/quote\\]#is'
```

Same for HTML blockquotes:

```php
// CORRECT - Innermost blockquotes first
'/<blockquote[^>]*data-author=["\\']([^"\\']+)["\\'][^>]*>((?:(?!<blockquote).)*?)<\\/blockquote>/is'
```

---

## Admin UI (bans.js)

### Tab Structure

```javascript
const tabDefs = [
    { id: 'overview', label: 'Overview', icon: '...' },     // Stats + quick actions
    { id: 'reports', label: 'Reports', icon: '...' },       // Report queue
    { id: 'warnings', label: 'User Lookup', icon: '...' },  // Search user, view history
    { id: 'warned', label: 'Warned', icon: '...' },         // Users with warnings
    { id: 'muted', label: 'Muted', icon: '...' },           // Currently muted users
    { id: 'bans', label: 'Banned', icon: '...' }            // Currently banned users
];
```

### Infraction Configuration

```javascript
const INFRACTION_CONFIG = {
    ban: {
        endpoint: '/bans',
        removeAction: 'unban',
        reasonField: 'ban_reason',
        durationField: 'ban_duration_human',
        // ...
    },
    mute: {
        endpoint: '/mutes',
        removeAction: 'unmute',
        reasonField: 'mute_reason',
        // ...
    },
    warning: {
        endpoint: '/warnings/active',
        removeAction: 'clear-warning',
        reasonField: 'warning_reason',
        // ...
    }
};
```

### UI Components Used

| Component | Usage |
|-----------|-------|
| `Tabs` | Tab navigation |
| `GridTable` | User lists |
| `Modal` | Issue infraction dialog |
| `UserAutocomplete` | User search |
| `Button` | Actions (Ban, Warn, Resolve, etc.) |
| `Confirm` | Confirmation dialogs |

### URL Deep Linking

```javascript
// Navigate to user with pending action
// #/moderation/warnings?user=123&action=ban

function getHashParams() {
    const hash = window.location.hash;
    const queryIndex = hash.indexOf('?');
    // Parse params...
}
```

---

## REST API Patterns

### Permission Callbacks

```php
// Moderator permission (admin, super mod, or forum mod)
'permission_callback' => function () {
    return Roles::canModerate();
}

// Full moderator access (admin, super mod only)
'permission_callback' => function () {
    return Roles::canModerateAll();
}
```

### Issuing Infraction (POST /users/{id}/warnings)

```php
$data = [
    'type' => 'mute',           // warning | mute | ban
    'reason' => 'Spam behavior',
    'duration' => 86400,        // null for permanent/warning
    'moderator_notes' => 'Third offense'  // Internal only
];
```

### Audit Hooks

```php
// Hook into actions for logging
do_action('presszone_forum_user_banned', $userId, $expires, $reason, $notes, $bannedBy);
do_action('presszone_forum_user_unbanned', $userId);
do_action('presszone_forum_warning_issued', $warningId, $userId, $type, $reason);
```

---

## Email Notifications

### Ban Notification

```php
// Template placeholders:
// {username}, {reason}, {expires}, {site_name}

// Options:
// presszone_forum_banned_email_subject
// presszone_forum_banned_email_body
```

### Warning/Mute Notification

```php
// Options:
// presszone_forum_enable_warning_emails (default: true)
// presszone_forum_warning_email_subject
// presszone_forum_warning_email_body
// presszone_forum_mute_email_subject
// presszone_forum_mute_email_body

// Template placeholders:
// {username}, {reason}, {site_name}, {duration}, {expires}
```

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

| Mistake | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Duplicating validation logic | Use `PostCreator->checkExternalLinks()` and `checkWordFilter()` |
| Using `.*?` for nested BBCode | Use `(?:(?!\\[quote).)*?` negative lookahead |
| Not checking admin protection | Never ban users with `administrator` capability |
| Forgetting soft delete fields | Always set `is_soft_deleted`, `deleted_at`, `deleted_by` |
| Missing audit hooks | Always fire `do_action()` for logging |
| Skipping permission check | Always verify `Roles::canModerate()` first |
| Hardcoded durations in UI | Use duration constants or configurable options |
| Not refreshing user stats | Call `Maintenance->recountUserStats()` after delete |
| Using short JS prefixes | Use `presszoneForumData`, not `FPZ` |
| Missing Toast for errors | Always show `Toast.error()` for user-facing errors |
| Not syncing TinyMCE | Call `tinymce.triggerSave()` before form submit |
| Inline notification code | Use `Toast` component from `components/Toast.js` |

- **2025-01-04** - Initial creation with full moderation system knowledge

---

## Quick Reference

### Check Before Any Mod Action

```php
// 1. Permission check
if (!Roles::canModerate()) {
    return $this->respondError('forbidden', 'Access denied', 403);
}

// 2. Target protection (for bans/warnings)
if (user_can($userId, 'administrator')) {
    return $this->respondError('forbidden', 'Cannot moderate administrators', 403);
}

// 3. Sanitize inputs
$reason = sanitize_textarea_field(wp_unslash($request->get_param('reason')));
$duration = absint($request->get_param('duration'));
```

### Content Validation Flow

```php
$creator = new PostCreator();
try {
    // 1. Check external links (if restricted)
    $creator->checkExternalLinks($content);

    // 2. Check word filter
    $creator->checkWordFilter($content);

    // 3. Sanitize for storage
    $sanitized = $creator->sanitizeMessage($content);

    // 4. Parse for display
    $html = $creator->parseMessage($sanitized);
} catch (\\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    // AJAX: wp_send_json_error(['message' => $e->getMessage()], 400);
    // REST: return $this->respondError('validation', $e->getMessage(), 400);
}
```

### Moderation Action Pattern

```php
// Issue infraction
$warningId = Warnings::issue(
    $userId,
    Warnings::TYPE_MUTE,
    $reason,
    $duration,
    $postId,
    get_current_user_id(),
    $moderatorNotes
);

// Action fires automatically via do_action()
// Email sent automatically

// Return success
return $this->respondSuccess(['id' => $warningId], 201);
```

---

## Testing Patterns

### Unit Tests Location

`tests/php/includes/`

```php
class TestBans extends WP_UnitTestCase {
    public function test_cannot_ban_administrator() {
        $adminId = $this->factory->user->create(['role' => 'administrator']);
        $result = Bans::ban($adminId, 'permanent', 'Test');
        $this->assertFalse($result);
    }

    public function test_expired_ban_auto_clears() {
        $userId = $this->factory->user->create(['role' => 'subscriber']);
        // Ban for 1 second
        Bans::ban($userId, 1, 'Test');
        sleep(2);
        $this->assertFalse(Bans::isBanned($userId));
    }
}
```

### Integration Test Pattern

```php
class TestModerationEndpoints extends WP_UnitTestCase {
    public function test_issue_warning_requires_moderator() {
        $request = new WP_REST_Request('POST', '/presszone-forum/v1/users/1/warnings');
        $request->set_param('type', 'warning');
        $request->set_param('reason', 'Test');

        // As regular user
        wp_set_current_user($this->subscriber_id);
        $response = rest_do_request($request);
        $this->assertEquals(403, $response->get_status());

        // As moderator
        wp_set_current_user($this->moderator_id);
        $response = rest_do_request($request);
        $this->assertEquals(201, $response->get_status());
    }
}
```
