 # Peptide Starter Theme - Changelog
 
-## [2.2.2] - 2026-04-29 — Front page layout restructure
-
-### Changed
-
-- `template-parts/module-cards.php`: Removed Science Feed from the module card
-  grid. The grid is for interactive tools only; news is content. Grid is now
-  5 cards: Peptides, Calculator, Protocol Builder, Tracker, Subject Log. No card
-  in this set goes inactive-dimmed due to a plugin registration check.
-- `front-page.php`: Replaced the full `[peptide_news]` inline feed with a
-  3-item teaser row (`[peptide_news count="3"]`) and a "View all research →"
-  CTA linking to `/news`. Reduces page weight and drives traffic to the
-  dedicated news page.
-
-## [2.2.1] - 2026-04-29 — RCT inline abbreviation tooltip
-
-### Added
-
-- `.pr-abbr` tap-target on the term "RCT" in the Established verdict card on
-  the verdict legend strip (homepage). Tapping/clicking opens a small inline
-  popover with the full definition: "Randomized Controlled Trial — the gold
-  standard for clinical evidence." Closes on outside click, Escape key, or
-  focus leaving the element.
-- `assets/js/abbr-tooltip.js` — new JS module (~130 lines) for popover open/
-  close, outside-click dismissal, keyboard accessibility (Enter/Space/Escape),
-  and ARIA attributes (`aria-expanded`, `aria-describedby`, `role="tooltip"`).
-  Enqueued on front page only (`is_front_page()`).
-- `peptide_starter_render_desc( string $text, array $abbrs ): string` helper in
-  `inc/verdict-helpers.php`. Builds safe HTML from `esc_html`/`esc_attr`
-  components; verdict taxonomy items carry an optional `abbrs` map.
-- `.pr-abbr` and `.pr-abbr-popover` CSS in `style.css` — dashed underline
-  affordance, fade-in animation, dark-mode-safe surface variables.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- `PEPTIDE_STARTER_VERSION` constant in `functions.php` was stale at
-  `2.0.0-alpha.3`; realigned to `2.2.1` to match `style.css` Version header.
-
-## [2.1.8] - 2026-04-28 — Homepage verdict section spacing fix
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Added missing CSS for `hero-featured-verdicts`, `hero-verdict-card`, and
-  `hero-verdict-explainer` BEM classes used in `front-page.php`. These classes
-  were referenced in the template but had zero CSS rules, causing the Featured
-  Verdicts section to render with bare browser defaults (no grid layout, no card
-  padding, no visual separation between verdict entries).
-- Added responsive 3-column grid for verdict cards at ≥900px breakpoint.
-- Added 5-column grid for verdict explainer items at ≥900px, 3-column at ≥640px.
-- Verdict card left-border now tints to match verdict state via CSS `:has()`.

 All notable changes to the Peptide Starter Theme are documented in this file.
 
-## [2.1.7] - 2026-04-27 — Newsletter signup infrastructure (Beehiiv)
+## [1.7.0] - 2026-04-24 — Remove WooCommerce integration
 
-### Added
+WooCommerce is not used on peptiderepo.com. Removing dead code reduces the asset
+dequeue surface and eliminates the function_exists() guard introduced in the 2026-04-23
+hotfix.
 
-- `page-subscribe.php` — single-column conversion template for `/subscribe/` landing page.
-  No sticky ToC; signup-form-centric layout.
-- `single-peptide.php` — compact Beehiiv signup block inserted after monograph article,
-  before prev/next navigation. Copy: "Want updates on monographs like this? One email a
-  week, no spam." Form ID: `6edcd482-cbea-4767-8777-97ac17d6d609`.
-- `footer.php` column 1 — "Get our weekly digest →" link to `/subscribe/` below brand blurb.
-- `functions.php` — `peptide_starter_enqueue_beehiiv_attribution()` loads Beehiiv's
-  `attribution.js` site-wide (footer, async) for UTM source capture across all placements.
-
-### Notes
-
-- Beehiiv form ID and embed script URL are compile-time constants in the templates.
-  If the form ID changes, update `single-peptide.php` and `page-subscribe.php`.
-- `single-repo_daily.php` and `archive-repo_daily.php` signup placements deferred to
-  the Repo Daily sprint (templates don't exist yet).
-- Sender: `repo-weekly@mail.peptiderepo.com`. DNS records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC for
-  `mail.peptiderepo.com`) to be added by Terence in Cloudflare when Beehiiv
-  sending-domain verification runs.
-
-## [2.1.6] - 2026-04-27 — Our Methodology page template + footer link
-
-### Added
-
-- `page-our-methodology.php` — two-column ToC template for the `/our-methodology/`
-  editorial-standards page. Mirrors `page-how-we-review.php` layout; CSS classes
-  use `page-our-methodology` prefix. The `#last-verified` anchor on this page is the
-  deep-link target for Phase 2 verdict-card "Last verified" lines.
-- Footer "Our Method" section now includes **Our Methodology** link (`/our-methodology/`)
-  alongside How We Review Peptides and Editorial Standards.
-
-### Notes
-
-- No changes to existing templates, CSS, or JS.
-- `footer.php` also backports the section-5 "Our Method" block from the v2.1.5 brand
-  sprint which was live on the server but not committed to the repo.
+### Removed
+- WooCommerce asset dequeue block from `inc/perf-asset-policy.php` (styles:
+  woocommerce-layout, woocommerce-smallscreen, woocommerce-general; scripts:
+  wc-add-to-cart, woocommerce, sourcebuster-js, wc-order-attribution)
+- Cart icon in `header.php` (was conditional on `class_exists('WooCommerce')`)
+- `peptide_starter_perf_woocommerce_styles` and `peptide_starter_perf_woocommerce_scripts`
+  filter hooks
+- WooCommerce-specific tests from `tests/test-perf-asset-policy.php`
+- WooCommerce section from README.md and CONVENTIONS.md
 
 ## [1.6.0] - 2026-04-23 — Mobile Performance Phase 1
 
-Mobile optimization targeting LCP reduction through conditional asset dequeue,
-font weight slimming, and font server preconnect. Measured baseline LCP on
-Moto G Power (Slow 4G): 5.4s; target: sub-4s after Phase 1 deployment.
+Mobile-perf optimization targeting LCP reduction through conditional asset
+dequeue, font weight slimming, and font server preconnect. Measured baseline
+LCP on Moto G Power (Slow 4G): 5.4s; target after Phase 1: ~2.5s.
 
-### Performance improvements
+### Added
 
-- **Conditional asset dequeue**: WooCommerce, Elementor, and USMI assets now
-  dequeue on pages that don't use them. Removes ~100KB from non-shop pages.
-- **Google Fonts slimming**: Roboto and Roboto Slab trimmed from 72 faces to 5
-  (400/500/700 weights, no italics). Font CSS shrinks ~6KB → <1KB; woff2 payload
-  reduced ~80%.
-- **Preconnect hints**: `fonts.googleapis.com` and `fonts.gstatic.com` now
-  preconnect in `<head>`, eliminating separate TLS handshake latency on cold cache.
-- **Cookie-notice defer**: Cookie banner script deferred to unblock initial render.
+- `inc/perf-asset-policy.php` — five-function module:
+  - `peptide_starter_perf_dequeue_plugin_assets()` — dequeues WooCommerce,
+    Elementor, and Ultimate Social Media Icons assets on pages that don't
+    use them. Hook: `wp_enqueue_scripts` priority 100.
+  - `peptide_starter_perf_slim_google_fonts()` — `style_loader_src` filter;
+    rewrites Roboto and Roboto Slab `family=` queries to keep only weights
+    actually used (400/500/700 + 400/700). Drops 72 font faces to 5.
+  - `peptide_starter_perf_resource_hints()` — `wp_resource_hints` filter;
+    adds preconnect hints for `fonts.googleapis.com` and `fonts.gstatic.com`.
+  - `peptide_starter_perf_defer_cookie_notice()` — `script_loader_tag` filter;
+    appends `defer` attribute to the cookie-notice front-end script.
+  - `peptide_starter_page_uses_elementor( int $post_id )` — helper.
+- Kill-switch constant `PEPTIDE_STARTER_PERF_DEQUEUE` (default `true`).
+  Define `false` in `wp-config.php` to disable all dequeues instantly.
+- Filterable handle lists: `peptide_starter_perf_woocommerce_handles`,
+  `peptide_starter_perf_elementor_handles`, `peptide_starter_perf_usmi_handles`,
+  `peptide_starter_perf_font_weights`.
+- `tests/test-perf-asset-policy.php` — 13 unit-test cases covering kill-switch,
+  per-page-context dequeue logic, font slim happy/edge cases, filter overrides,
+  preconnect insertion, defer attribute application.
 
-### Technical
+### Changed
 
-- New module `inc/perf-asset-policy.php` (~245 lines, PHPUnit tested).
-- Kill-switch constant `PEPTIDE_STARTER_PERF_DEQUEUE` (default true) allows
-  disable via `wp-config.php` for rollback.
-- All dequeue lists and font weights exposed as filters for customization.
-- Production handle verification: WC (layout/smallscreen/general), Elementor
-  (frontend/frontend-legacy + per-post CSS), USMI (SFSImainCss + 4 scripts).
+- `style.css` Version header bumped 1.5.2 → 1.6.0.
+- `PEPTIDE_STARTER_VERSION` constant bumped to `1.6.0`.
 
-### Tests
+### Why
 
-- `test-perf-asset-policy.php` — 8 new unit cases covering dequeue conditions
-  (shop/non-shop/Elementor/USMI), font rewrite happy path and edge cases,
-  preconnect addition, defer application, and kill-switch disable.
-
-### Out of scope
-
-- Critical CSS inline (Phase 2 candidate after measuring Phase 1 lift).
-- jQuery dequeue (WC/PSA/Elementor compat risk too high).
-- Image optimizations (no images on homepage critical path).
-- LiteSpeed Cache settings (CTO tunes post-deploy if Phase 1 insufficient).
-
-### Breaking changes
-
-None. All optimizations are transparent to plugin authors; dequeues use
-standard WordPress APIs and can be overridden via filters or re-enqueued by
-plugins if needed.
+PageSpeed Insights mobile score on `https://peptiderepo.com/` was 74 with
+LCP 5.4s, FCP 2.6s. Desktop scored ~95 — the gap was mobile-specific
+(weaker CPU + slower network amplify the cost of 13 render-blocking CSS
+files in `<head>`, of which the homepage actually needed at most 4).
+Phase 1 trims the asset graph for non-shop pages without touching plugin
+code or template files.

- * so we never expose unescaped user or data-layer content. Each substitution is:
- *   esc_html( $text ) → str_replace( literal_term, safe_abbr_html )
- * This is safe because the abbr tag, class, and data-def are all hardcoded or

- * @param array  $abbrs Associative array of term => definition. Keys are literal
