Summary

Resolves #101. Updated to follow the requested browser/filter policy rather than adding an admin option.

• Remove the proposed Reduced Motion checkbox, option default, and sanitization entry. No new admin setting remains.
• Respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce for every button theme.
• Add sce_skip_control_reveal (default boolean, comment ID). Its default is true when WP ULike is active, detected by WP_ULIKE_VERSION, so SCE does not add a decorative fade beside ULike's buttons. Plugins can return true or false; false never overrides the browser's reduced-motion preference.
• Keep the normal 0.6-second reveal otherwise. Controls still wait for an affirmative uncached permission response, including unlimited editing; failed checks stay hidden and outside keyboard navigation. This removes decorative delay, not the authorization round trip or differences in independent plugin rendering times.
• Merge current master, preserving the dynamic-comment initializer and WooCommerce changes.

Files and patterns

• simple-comment-editing.php: existing wrapper-class/filter pattern, with the documented per-comment reveal filter.
• src/scss/frontend.scss: hidden/pending controls and theme-independent reduced-motion overrides.
• src/js/comment-editing/editing.js: affirmative can_edit requirement and fail-closed permission errors, preserving repeat-safe initialization.
• dist/sce-editing.js, dist/sce-frontend.css, dist/sce-frontend.css.map: rebuilt using the existing webpack command.
• README.md, readme.txt, DESIGN.md: filter contract, browser precedence, caching/authorization limits and motion policy.
• includes/Options.php and includes/Admin/Tabs/Settings.php now match master; the proposed setting has been removed entirely.

Verification

Implementation head: 9e250eb (plus the resolved master merge 8f4ed54).

Passed locally:

git diff --check
php -l simple-comment-editing.php
composer phpcs -- includes/Options.php includes/Admin/Tabs/Settings.php simple-comment-editing.php
php -d memory_limit=1G vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G simple-comment-editing.php includes/Options.php includes/Admin/Tabs/Settings.php
npx --no-install eslint src/js/comment-editing/editing.js
npm run build

PHPCS: no errors, four existing direct-database warnings in unchanged cleanup queries. Scoped PHPStan: no errors. ESLint: no errors, six existing warnings. Webpack succeeds with the existing admin-bundle size/performance warnings; unrelated admin-bundle regeneration drift was discarded.

The existing focused PHPUnit command was attempted but exits before running: Set WP_TEST_DB_NAME to a disposable database ending in _test. The development site's database was not used for PHPUnit. Current-head CI remains required; old-head green checks are not evidence for this update.

Real-browser verification

Tested the actual built PR worktree on the configured WordPress site with Twenty Twenty-Five, using separate named Chromium sessions for the guest owner, subscriber and non-owner. The shared plugin symlink was switched with operator permission; stale local PHP bootstrap caching was resolved by an operator-authorized graceful PHP reload.

Check	Observed result
WP ULike 5.2.4 inactive, normal motion	No ULike markup; authorized SCE controls use showContainer, duration 0.6s.
Browser reduced motion	Computed animation is none.
WP ULike active, normal motion	Both plugins render comment controls; SCE wrapper has sce-reduced-motion, computed animation none.
Filter returns false with ULike active	Normal browser uses showContainer; reduced-motion browser still uses none.
Filter returns true without ULike	Computed animation is none. Temporary filter consumer removed afterward.
Guest submission, Save, Cancel and timer	Submitted in the browser; Save persisted with ULike active and inactive, verified via WP-CLI; Cancel restored saved text; countdown updated.
Subscriber	Own timed controls and Save verified; existing unlimited-editing filter scoped to its fixture produced authorized controls without a timer. Enter opened the textarea; Cancel restored its saved content. Temporary policy removed afterward.
Non-owner	No editor markup; a request with a valid general nonce returned can_edit: false.
Expiry	Expiring the owned guest fixture removed its editor on reload.
Permission failure	Invalidated permission nonce returned HTTP 403; controls remained visibility: hidden, with the request error in the status region.
Layout	Viewport screenshots inspected at 1280x900 and 390x844 with and without ULike; timer wraps on mobile without horizontal overflow.
Diagnostics	Fresh subscriber reload has no console/page errors; permission and Save requests returned 200 in successful flows. Deliberate invalid-nonce requests returned 403.

Separate compatibility finding: WP ULike's like button disappears after guest inline Save until reload. Saved text persists, and reload restores the button. Tracked independently in #123; do not treat this as a complete ULike integration sign-off. Its response/formatting sources are unchanged by this PR.

Temporary fixture post/comments/user and integration policies are removed after testing; ULike is restored to inactive. The site and authorized PR worktree symlink remain available for follow-up. No release, merge, or live deployment is included.

Implementation Checkpoint

• What: Opt-in reduced-motion controls, automatic browser reduced-motion support, and fail-closed permission-dependent visibility; implementation is preserved, not yet runtime-verified.
• Issue: Offer reduced-delay edit controls without weakening server-side authorization #101.
• Files changed: Options/settings, permission-checked wrapper rendering, frontend JS/SCSS and generated JS/CSS/source map, DESIGN.md, and readme.txt.
• Testing: PHP syntax, scoped PHPCS, scoped ESLint, webpack build, and diff whitespace checks pass. Existing warnings are distinguished from introduced failures in the PR. PHPUnit cannot run without a configured disposable _test database; actual WordPress/browser acceptance remains unverified.
• Key decisions: Preserve the authoritative AJAX permission round trip for timed and unlimited editing; do not infer ownership from cached HTML or reveal controls on request failure. Reduced motion removes only decoration, never authorization. Personalized author HTML still requires shared-cache exclusion.
• Readiness: Draft remains blocked on the isolated SCE runtime/test database described in the PR. No merge, issue closure, release, or deployment is claimed.
