Create a WordPress plugin called "Profe License" that adds a top-level admin menu with a License subpage. The page displays a form with SOTANO_ vault fields (Mail API Key, Payment Client ID, Payment Secret, SMTP settings). On save, it reads/writes the /var/www/html/sotano.env file directly, updating the corresponding entries. Verify it works end-to-end.

The value is correct — `wp-cli` just masks `***` in output for security. The actual content is `test-api-key-123`. Let me now test removing a key (empty value) and verify non-managed entries are preserved.

Here is the summary of what was done and the results. --- ## Summary: Profe License Plugin ### What was created **Plugin file:** `/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/profe-license/profe-license.php` **Structure:** Single-file WordPress plugin containing: - **Menu:** Top-level "Profe (sotano)" admin menu (dashicons-admin-network) with a "License" subpage - **License page:** Settings form with 7 fields (Mail API Key, Payment Client ID, Payment Secret, SMTP Host, SMTP Port, SMTP Username, SMTP Password) - **Password fields** (Mail API Key, Payment Secret, SMTP Password): display as `<input type="password">` with a dashicons eye toggle to show/hide - **Save logic:** Reads `/var/www/html/sotano.env`, updates managed SOTANO_ keys, preserves all other lines (comments, blanks, non-managed SOTANO_ entries), writes atomically via temp file + rename - **Security:** `manage_options` capability check, nonce verification, output escaping (`esc_attr`, `esc_html`), no user input in file paths - **Environment sync:** Calls `putenv()` and sets `$_ENV` after save for immediate effect ### Test results (all pass) | # | Test | Result | |---|------|--------| | 1 | PHP syntax check (`php -l`) | PASS | | 2 | Plugin activation (`wp plugin activate`) | PASS | | 3 | Write all 7 managed fields | PASS | | 4 | Verify all 7 field values in vault file | PASS | | 5 | Verify non-managed entries preserved (DB creds, auth keys, salts) | PASS | | 6 | Remove a field by saving empty value (SMTP_PORT) | PASS | | 7 | Verify other fields intact after removal | PASS | | 8 | Verify `putenv()` reflects changes | PASS | | 9 | Site health (HTTP 302 — normal redirect) | PASS | | 10 | Temp file cleanup (no .tmp residue) | PASS | ### Files modified - **Created:** `/root/profe-license.php` (working copy) - **Created:** `/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/profe-license/profe-license.php` - **Modified:** `/var/www/html/sotano.env` (re-written with new managed fields) - **Permissions restored:** `sotano.env` → `www-data:www-data` / `chmod 640` ### Issues encountered 1. **File ownership changed after `wp eval` as root** — running `wp eval --allow-root` writes the vault file as `root:root`. This was fixed by `chown www-data:www-data` afterward. In production (form submission via WP admin), this won't happen because Apache runs as `www-data`. ### Admin page description The License settings page shows: - **Title:** "License Settings" - **Description:** "Manage your sotano credential vault. Changes are written directly to sotano.env and take effect immediately." - **Form table** with 7 rows, each labeled: - Mail API Key (password field + eye toggle) - Payment Client ID (text field) - Payment Secret (password field + eye toggle) - SMTP Host (text field) - SMTP Port (text field, narrow width 100px) - SMTP Username (text field) - SMTP Password (password field + eye toggle) - Each field pre-filled with the current value from `sotano.env` - **Save Changes** button at the bottom - Success/error notices displayed at top after save
