## Changelog

#### 1.0.4

 * Release: Same changes as 1.0.3; version bump to restore WordPress.org auto-updates.

#### 1.0.3

 * Fix: Vulnerability matcher reported false positives for unfixed and eq feed records.
 * Fix: Matcher now correctly combines min/max bounds and handles the eq operator.
 * Fix: Example: WooCommerce 10.x no longer flagged for a 7.1.0-only issue.
 * Fix: Existing false-positive vulnerability rows and cached API responses are 
   purged on upgrade and re-evaluated silently with the corrected matcher.
 * Fix: Dashboard uptime auto-sync never fired due to an incorrect admin page slug
   check.
 * Change: Vulnerability scanning, AI Security Analysis, and 24/7 Uptime Monitoring
   are now correctly limited to Pro plans on the backend (not just hidden in the
   UI).
 * Security: Call-home requests (license verify, uptime, AI analysis, subscription)
   now authenticate with the per-site key.
 * Maintenance: Site registration now initialises on activation; removed dead code
   and leftover .bak files.

#### 1.0.2

 * Fix: Fatal error in cron-based file integrity check — `Bearmor_Checksum::get_checksum()`
   was renamed to `get_stored()` and the call site was not updated, causing daily
   scans to crash and trigger a WP recovery email
 * Fix: Hash algorithm mismatch in `check_root_directory()` — baseline stored SHA-
   256 but integrity comparison used SHA-1, causing all root-level files to be incorrectly
   flagged as changed

#### 1.0.1

 * Initial public release
