v0.2.3 — abilities-manager nudges + brand logo + tab rename + readme rewrite

Patch release bundling four merged PRs since 0.2.2.

Highlights

  • UX — In-context nudges to install the AcrossAI Abilities Manager add-on. When the sibling acrossai-abilities-manager plugin is not active, the server-edit Abilities and Tools tabs now surface a small WordPress-native notice-info block above the picker with a link to the shared Add-ons page (admin.php?page=acrossai-addons). Without the add-on both pickers only list the three core abilities WordPress ships by default (core/get-environment-info, core/get-site-info, core/get-user-info); the add-on registers a rich library of built-in abilities that populate both surfaces. See PR #64.
  • UI — AcrossAI brand logo on the AI Connectors placeholder tab. Replaces the hand-rolled interconnected-nodes SVG on the AI Connectors placeholder promo (?tab=ai-connectors when the acrossai-ai-connectors companion is missing / inactive) with the same brand SVG the vendor uses on the shared Add-ons page. Deleted the private render_network_svg() method; simplified the CSS by dropping the gradient icon tile in favor of a plain .acai-aic-promo__logo rule. See PR #65.
  • Refactor — Renamed the "MCP Tracker" tab to "Logs". The per-server tab formerly reached at ?tab=mcp-tracker is now ?tab=mcp-log, and the tab-bar label reads Logs instead of MCP Tracker. Priority slot 80 preserved so the tab-bar ordering is unchanged. Class name McpTrackerTab and body copy that identifies the third-party MCP Tracker plugin on WordPress.org (WPVMCPT) product name kept intact. Deep links to the old ?tab=mcp-tracker fall through to Registry's "first surviving tab" default (Overview) rather than 404. See PR #67.
  • Docs — Rewrote README.txt as a lean docs-hub pointer. The plugin's WordPress.org readme now defers to acrossai.co/doc-category/mcp-manager as the source of truth for every feature description — copy lives in one place instead of drifting between two. Description condensed; Key Features reshaped with per-bullet docs links; How It Works trimmed; new Connection Types section calls out the four supported paths (MCP Client, CLI Connections, WP-CLI STDIO, and the paid AI Connectors add-on); Requirements bumped to WP 7.0+ / PHP 8.1+ (matches the plugin header — old readme drifted to 5.9 / 7.4); FAQ trimmed with a new "Do I need the paid AI Connectors add-on?" entry; new Support section links to docs hub, FAQ page, and GitHub issue tracker. Deleted the stale post-F040 Experimental Direct Claude Connectors section, the CLI-flow deep dive, and the Provider Configuration Paths list. See PR #66.
  • Internal — ACROSSAI_MCP_MANAGER_VERSION constant + Stable tag bumped to 0.2.3 matching the plugin header.

Version bumps

  • Plugin header Version: 0.2.2 → 0.2.3
  • ACROSSAI_MCP_MANAGER_VERSION constant: 0.2.2 → 0.2.3
  • README.txt Stable tag: 0.2.2 → 0.2.3

Behavior notes

Patch bump — no new features, no API changes, no breaking changes. Bundle is UX nudges + a visual asset swap + a tab URL rename + a readme rewrite. All existing surfaces continue to work; the tab-slug rename ships with a graceful "unknown-slug falls through to Overview" fallback for the pre-existing Registry behavior.
