Walks back v0.7.3's Update URI guard pattern. Plugin Check raised
`plugin_updater_detected` on the v0.7.3 build:
"Including An Update Checker / Changing Updates functionality.
Plugin Updater detected. Use of the Update URI header is not
allowed in plugins hosted on WordPress.org."
PCP scans the source as-shipped, not as-distributed, so the v0.7.3
build-time `sed` strip never had a chance to run before the scan.
The simpler correct answer is to delete the custom updater entirely
and rely on wp.org as the canonical update channel once accepted.
Removed:
* `inc/updater.php` — recoverable from git history at tag v0.7.3 if
ever needed for a non-wp.org distribution.
* `Update URI:` header line in `radio.php` (plus the NOTE block).
* `require_once RADIO_PATH . 'inc/updater.php';` in `radio.php`.
* Updates panel render + `function_exists()` guard in `inc/settings.php`.
* "Self-hosted update checker" line in `README.md`.
* "Self-hosted updater" bullet in `readme.txt` Privacy section.
Added (GPL declaration loop closed):
* `LICENSE` — verbatim canonical GPL v2 text (338 lines from
gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt).
* GPL header block in `assets/css/radio.css`.
* GPL header block in `assets/js/radio.js` (original module overview
preserved verbatim below the license header).
* GPL header block in `radio.php` docblock alongside the existing
`License:` / `License URI:` fields.
Migration: existing Gitea-installed copies of v0.7.3 or earlier
become orphaned of auto-updates after this lands on them (the
updater code is gone, so nothing advertises newer versions back).
Recommended path is to uninstall + reinstall from wp.org once the
plugin is accepted. No data loss — station + volume + theme +
history + favourites all live in user_meta.
No user-visible behaviour changes for the player itself. Only the
small `Updates` panel that sat at the bottom of Radio → Settings
is gone.
