Five coordinated changes answering one question: when the plugin stops rendering its own revisit widget because a footer link was verified, is the visitor actually left with a way to withdraw consent?

The gap

Withdrawal_Path::marker_present() answered with a regex. A marker can sit in the markup and still be unusable — inside a <template>, on a disabled button, under a hidden or inert ancestor — and a substring match cannot tell the difference. The plugin was switching its own widget off on that evidence.

What changed

Server side. marker_present() now parses the response and walks the ancestor chain of every element carrying the attribute, rejecting the control when it or any ancestor is a template, noscript, script, style or head element, carries hidden/inert/disabled, or hides itself with an inline display / visibility / content-visibility declaration.

strip_non_markup() stops removing <template> for this to work: templates nest, so the first closing tag is not their end and a scanner cannot bound them — the ancestor walk can. Scripts and styles are still stripped before parsing, which also keeps the parse cheap and avoids feeding an inline bundle to libxml.

Client side, for what no server can see. Verification cannot prove the theme's CSS, the viewport, or a later DOM mutation keep the link usable. Geo_Runtime now emits revisitConsent.verifiedAlternative when the rule set requires a reopen control, the footer route verified, and the widget is therefore off. script.js keeps the widget in the template but hidden, reveals it whenever the page has no usable withdrawal control, and watches for changes — so the fallback appears if the theme hides the footer, if the control is removed later, or if a breakpoint drops it. It is never exposed over an open notice or preference panel.

AMP stops consuming that verification. A footer probe proves a script.js trigger exists; it says nothing about an AMP tap action, which is a different mechanism. AMP keeps its native post-consent control.

Cache_Compatibility::is_shared_cache_render() gains the strict-shell bootstrap as a third reason to answer true: with the bootstrap active, normal pages share one shell even when routing has a country source, so a per-visitor language is safe there. It reads the same readiness gate as Frontend, including the request-specific AMP exclusion, so the language seam and the cache headers the page is sent with cannot disagree.

Frontend asks has_active_banner_for_law() instead of loading the banner with get_active_banner_for_law(), since the veto only needs to know whether one exists.

Tests — every change has its own

area coverage
marker_present() test-withdrawal-path-php.php, 64 assertions: template, nested templates, disabled, disabled="false", hidden ancestor, inert ancestor, fieldset disabled
the browser fallback withdrawal-fallback.spec.ts (new), 10 cases × 3 browsers: missing / disabled / hidden / inert / CSS-hidden / templated / empty footer each keep a working reopen control; a usable footer suppresses the widget and reopens consent itself; removal and restoration update the fallback; theme visibility and viewport changes keep a usable route
strict-shell bootstrap test-geo-cache-bootstrap-php.php: bootstrap active with cache compatibility paused, shell stays cacheable with a country source, and the language gate agrees with it
AMP test-amp-consent-bridge-php.php: a verified normal footer does not remove AMP's postPromptUI, and AMP still renders a native reopen action
readiness predicate test-banner-law-readiness-php.php (new)
template flag test-template-cache-php.php

Verified before pushing: 198/198 unit suites, 324 browser-intent tests, php -l clean across the plugin, and script.min.js matches a fresh build of the source.

Note on provenance

This work was sitting uncommitted in the working tree on main. It is complete and tested, so it goes through a branch and this PR rather than straight into main — the release gate requires a clean tree and no unreviewed code in a compliance path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Nuove funzionalità

    • Quando il controllo nel footer per riaprire il consenso non è disponibile o utilizzabile, viene mostrata un’alternativa. Se il controllo è disponibile, l’alternativa resta nascosta.
    • L’alternativa si aggiorna quando cambiano la pagina o la visibilità del tema e non compare mentre il banner o le preferenze sono aperti.
    • Il controllo nativo di riapertura del consenso in AMP è mantenuto.
  • Correzioni

    • La verifica dei controlli nel footer ignora elementi nascosti, disabilitati o non azionabili, compresi quelli nei modelli HTML.
    • La disponibilità dei banner GDPR viene rilevata senza caricare o localizzare il banner.

Five coordinated changes, all on the same question: when the plugin stops
rendering its own revisit widget because a footer link was verified, is the
visitor actually left with a way to withdraw consent?

Withdrawal_Path::marker_present() no longer answers with a regex. A marker can
sit in markup and still be unusable, and a substring match cannot tell the
difference. It now parses the response and walks the ancestor chain of every
element carrying the attribute, rejecting the control when it or any ancestor
is a template, noscript, script, style or head element, carries hidden, inert
or disabled, or hides itself with an inline display/visibility/
content-visibility declaration. strip_non_markup() stops removing <template>
for this to work: templates nest, so the first closing tag is not their end
and a scanner cannot bound them — the ancestor walk can.

That still leaves what no server can see. Verification cannot prove the
theme's CSS, the viewport or a later DOM mutation keep the link usable, so
Geo_Runtime now emits revisitConsent.verifiedAlternative when the rule set
requires a reopen control, the footer route verified, and the widget is
therefore off. script.js keeps the widget in the template but hidden, reveals
it whenever the page has no usable withdrawal control, and watches for changes
— so the fallback appears if the theme hides the footer, if the control is
removed later, or if a breakpoint drops it. It is never exposed over an open
notice or preference panel.

AMP stops consuming that verification. A footer probe proves a script.js
trigger exists; it says nothing about an AMP tap action, which is a different
mechanism. AMP keeps its native post-consent control.

Cache_Compatibility::is_shared_cache_render() gains the strict-shell bootstrap
as a third reason to answer true: with the bootstrap active, normal pages
share one shell even when routing has a country source, so a per-visitor
language is safe there. It reads the same readiness gate as Frontend,
including the request-specific AMP exclusion, so the language seam and the
cache headers the page is sent with cannot disagree.

Frontend asks has_active_banner_for_law() instead of loading the banner with
get_active_banner_for_law(), since the veto only needs to know whether one
exists.

Tests, every change with its own:

- test-withdrawal-path-php.php (64 assertions): template, nested templates,
  disabled, disabled="false", a hidden ancestor, an inert ancestor and
  fieldset disabled.
- withdrawal-fallback.spec.ts, new, 10 cases x 3 browsers: a missing,
  disabled, hidden, inert, CSS-hidden, templated and empty footer each keep a
  working reopen control; a usable footer suppresses the widget and reopens
  consent itself; removal and restoration update the fallback; theme
  visibility and viewport changes keep a usable route.
- test-geo-cache-bootstrap-php.php: the bootstrap is active with cache
  compatibility paused, the shell stays cacheable with a country source, and
  the language gate agrees with it.
- test-amp-consent-bridge-php.php: a verified normal footer does not remove
  AMP's postPromptUI, and AMP still renders a native reopen action.
- test-banner-law-readiness-php.php, new, for the readiness predicate.
- test-template-cache-php.php for the template-side flag.

Verified: 198 of 198 unit suites and 324 browser-intent tests pass, php -l is
clean across the plugin, and script.min.js matches a fresh build of the merged
source.

Walkthrough

Il PR verifica l’utilizzabilità dei controlli di revoca e usa il risultato per configurare e mostrare un widget di fallback. Modifica inoltre la selezione dei banner attivi e i controlli del bootstrap geografico e della cache condivisa.

Changes

Fallback per la riapertura del consenso

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verifica dei controlli di revoca
includes/class-withdrawal-path.php, tests/unit/test-withdrawal-path-php.php
La verifica usa DOM e considera validi solo i controlli utilizzabili, escludendo quelli disabilitati, nascosti o inerti. I test coprono anche marker in testo, commenti, noscript e template.
Configurazione runtime e markup di fallback
admin/modules/banners/includes/class-banner.php, frontend/includes/class-geo-runtime.php, frontend/class-amp-consent.php, admin/modules/banners/includes/class-template.php, tests/unit/test-withdrawal-path-php.php, tests/unit/test-amp-consent-bridge-php.php, tests/unit/test-template-cache-php.php
Il flag runtime verifiedAlternative viene mantenuto nelle impostazioni e usato per conservare il widget nel markup. La firma della cache include lo stato del widget e l’alternativa verificata. I test coprono anche il rendering AMP.
Aggiornamento del fallback nel browser
frontend/js/script.js, tests/browser-intent/withdrawal-fallback.spec.ts
Lo script mostra il fallback quando manca un controllo di revoca utilizzabile. Aggiorna la visibilità dopo modifiche DOM, cambiamenti di stile e ridimensionamenti. I test verificano visibilità e interazione.

Readiness dei banner e cache condivisa

Layer / File(s) Summary
Selezione e disponibilità dei banner
admin/modules/banners/includes/class-controller.php, frontend/class-frontend.php, tests/unit/test-banner-law-readiness-php.php, tests/unit/test-geo-cache-bootstrap-php.php
Il controller seleziona l’ID prima di creare e localizzare il banner. Il controllo booleano verifica la disponibilità senza risolvere la lingua. I test verificano readiness e selezione per il rendering.
Stati del bootstrap e della cache condivisa
includes/class-cache-compatibility.php, tests/unit/test-geo-cache-bootstrap-php.php
La cache condivisa considera attivo il bootstrap strict-shell per richieste non AMP. I test verificano la gestione delle lingue nel rendering condiviso e non condiviso.

ℹ️ No critical issues. One gap in the client-side fallback is worth closing.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed the whole PR: server-side DOM verification of the withdrawal marker, the runtime verifiedAlternative fallback through Geo_Runtime → Banner → Template → script.js, the AMP decoupling, and the strict-shell bootstrap branch in Cache_Compatibility. Locally, the five touched PHP suites pass and script.min.js matches a fresh terser build.

  • DOM-based marker check: body_has_marker() now parses the page and rejects controls under template/noscript/head, hidden/inert/disabled, or an inline hiding style. It fails closed when ext-dom is missing.
  • Runtime-only fallback flag: apply_ui_requirements() emits verifiedAlternative, and Banner carries it across sanitization without persisting it. prepare_html() keeps the already-faz-revisit-hide widget in the markup, and the layout signature invalidates stale cached templates.
  • Browser re-check: _fazShowRevisit() suppresses the widget only while a usable [data-faz-open-preferences] control exists. A rAF-throttled MutationObserver plus resize re-evaluates this. It does nothing while the notice or a preference modal is open.
  • AMP: AMP stops consuming the normal-page footer verification, so its native postPromptUI stays.
  • Readiness split: has_active_banner_for_law() selects the banner without resolving language, which avoids recursion through faz_current_language() → is_shared_cache_render() → bootstrap readiness.
  • Shared-cache gate: a paused Cache Compatibility mode now answers true when the strict-shell bootstrap is active. It uses the same AMP exclusion as Frontend::is_geo_bootstrap_cache_active().

Rigenera script.min.js prima della suite browser.

Se script.js cambia e il bundle non viene rigenerato, test:consent:browser può passare usando una versione obsoleta: il test legge script.min.js all’importazione e il comando non esegue build:min. Anche il job CI consent-browser usa questo comando. Il job separato di coerenza controlla i bundle, ma non esegue la suite sul bundle appena generato.

…ked test

All three findings were valid against the code as pushed.

Late stylesheets bypassed the re-check (Pullfrog). The watcher observed
document.body mutations and `resize`, and a stylesheet that finishes loading
after the first check hides the footer control without causing either — while
the first check runs from _fazRemoveBanner() at init, usually before that CSS
has applied. The widget stayed hidden and the visitor was left with no
withdrawal route at all, which is the one outcome this fallback exists to
prevent. Common sources are the deferred-CSS tricks cache plugins use: a
`media="print"` sheet swapped on load, critical CSS followed by the full sheet,
a <link> injected into <head>.

Two changes, and the control runs show both are load-bearing. A capturing
`load` listener on `document` catches every stylesheet, including late ones;
capture also runs before the link's own onload media swap, and refresh()
defers to the next animation frame, so the re-check reads the styles the swap
produced. And the observer root moves from document.body to
document.documentElement, because a <style> injected into <head> is invisible
to a body-rooted observer. `media` joins the attribute filter.

`disabled` was treated as a generic off switch (CodeRabbit). It is defined
only on form controls and never disables a link, so `<footer disabled>`,
`<div disabled>` and `<form disabled>` are not disabled states — the attribute
is ignored, the element renders, and a marked <a> inside it keeps receiving the
handler. Rejecting those reported a usable footer route as `marker_missing`,
and the administrator saw verification fail with nothing visible to fix.

Withdrawal_Path::is_disabled() now applies the spec rule: the attribute counts
on the control itself only when the control is a form control, and on an
ancestor only for `<fieldset>`, whose disabled state propagates to descendant
form controls with the elements inside its FIRST <legend> exempted. The browser
side drops `[disabled]` from its `closest()` selector and keeps `:disabled`,
which asks the real question and already accounts for fieldset propagation and
the legend exemption — so the two sides cannot diverge, which is what the
finding asked for.

A test asserted nothing (CodeRabbit). The URL-based WPML case ran after
weglot_get_current_language() was defined, and faz_current_language() consults
Weglot first; a PHP function definition is permanent, so `fr` came from the
Weglot mock and the WPML branch never executed. The case moves ahead of the
mock, and now also asserts that no Weglot source exists yet and that
faz_wpml_language_in_url() is true, so the negotiation type is pinned rather
than inferred from the resolved language.

Coverage added, each with a control run:

- 9 assertions for the disabled semantics: `<footer disabled>`, `<div disabled>`,
  `<form disabled>` and `<a disabled>` stay usable, a first-<legend> control
  stays usable, and a disabled fieldset still disables a control outside that
  legend, nested deeper, or inside a second <legend>. Restoring the old
  behaviour turns exactly the five "no effect" assertions red.
- 2 browser-intent cases: a stylesheet that loads after init (response delayed
  on purpose, so the <link> insertion's own mutation cannot make the test pass
  without the listener) and a late <style> in <head>. Removing the load
  listener fails the first across all three browsers; reverting the observer
  root fails the second.

Docstring Coverage remains the documented permanent exception.

Verified: 198 of 198 unit suites, 330 browser-intent tests, php -l clean, and
script.min.js rebuilt from the edited source.

✅ No new issues found. The late-stylesheet gap from the previous review is closed, and the disabled handling now matches the HTML spec on both sides.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed dc30da3 against the prior Pullfrog review at 6b55a4c. Locally, the withdrawal-path and geo-cache-bootstrap suites pass, and script.min.js matches a fresh terser build.

  • Late CSS re-check: _fazWatchWithdrawalControl() now observes document.documentElement, so <style> injected into <head> triggers a re-check. It also watches media swaps and adds a capturing load listener for LINK. The new browser case delays the stylesheet response by 400ms, so it can only pass because of the load listener.
  • Spec-accurate disabled: body_has_marker() is now split into control_is_usable() and is_disabled(). disabled only counts on form controls, either set on the control itself or inherited from an ancestor <fieldset disabled>. Controls inside that fieldset's first <legend> are exempt, and outer fieldsets are still checked. The JS side drops the [disabled] ancestor match and uses :disabled, so server and browser agree. Unit cases cover both directions.
  • WPML test ordering: the WPML case now runs before the Weglot mock is defined, with a premise assertion. The WPML branch is now actually exercised instead of being answered by Weglot.
