<?php
/**
 * RELEASE GUARD — per-visitor rate limiting (plan 284318).
 *
 * Three things must hold, or a logged-out cap does not hold either:
 *   (a) the counter is keyed on an address the visitor cannot choose —
 *       REMOTE_ADDR, or CF-Connecting-IP only when the request really came
 *       from a Cloudflare edge; Client-IP / X-Forwarded-For are never read;
 *   (b) the hourly reset parses counter names correctly and deletes a
 *       counter only once its window has elapsed — the old split-on-'_'
 *       parser mis-read every name and deleted every counter every hour;
 *   (c) counters are written without autoload and the number of visitor
 *       counters per bot is bounded.
 *
 * Run on a test site (it writes and removes its own rate-limit options and
 * briefly rewrites mxchat_options.rate_limits, restoring the original):
 *
 *   wp eval-file wp-content/plugins/mxchat-basic/tests/verify-rate-limit-284318.php
 *
 * A build that prints FAIL is NOT releasable.
