src/content-helper/dashboard-page/pages/traffic-boost/sidebar/components/post-details.tsx (2)

4-4: Good addition for loading state management.

Adding the Spinner component provides a better user experience by showing a loading indicator.

---

19-20: Props interface updates align well with loading state requirements.

Making the post property optional and adding the isLoading boolean enhances component flexibility. This change properly supports the loading state pattern.

src/content-helper/dashboard-page/pages/traffic-boost/sidebar/components/tabs/inbound-links-tab.tsx (4)

5-5: Good addition of internationalization support.

Adding the __ function from @wordpress/i18n ensures proper localization of user-facing strings.

---

38-39: Well-implemented loading state management.

Correctly adding and using the loading state from the store follows best practices for React and WordPress data management.

Also applies to: 44-45

---

54-54: Good prop passing for loading state.

Properly passing the loading state to the child component ensures consistent UI behavior.

---

62-66: Excellent UX with empty state handling.

Adding a specific empty state message improves user experience by providing clear feedback when no inbound links are available. The internationalized message follows WordPress guidelines.

src/content-helper/dashboard-page/pages/traffic-boost/sidebar/components/add-new-link-button.tsx (3)

6-7: Good addition of required dependencies.

Adding the useSelect hook and TrafficBoostStore imports follows WordPress coding standards for proper state management.

Also applies to: 17-17

---

47-48: Well-implemented state access.

Using useSelect to access the current post from the store follows WordPress data management best practices.

---

54-62: Important UX improvement to prevent self-referential links.

The logic properly excludes the current post from suggestions, which prevents users from accidentally creating links to the same post they're working on. This is a valuable improvement that helps prevent potential user errors.

The dependency array correctly includes both suggestions and currentPost, ensuring the effect runs when either value changes.

src/services/suggestions-api/endpoints/class-endpoint-suggest-inbound-links.php (4)

1-7: Overall structure looks good.

All high-level elements (namespace, class declaration, docblocks) are well-structured and adhere to WordPress and PHP standards.

---

69-69: Consider renaming blending_weight.

A past review comment already suggested changing this to performance_blending_weight.

---

133-133: Update the @since tag.

Past feedback suggests this should match 3.18.0 for consistency with the rest of the file.

---

85-90:

❓ Verification inconclusive

Verify the existence of anchor_texts.

There is no safeguard if $link['anchor_texts'] is missing or null. Ensure the remote API always returns anchor_texts; otherwise, add a fallback or error check.

---

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Searches for references to 'anchor_texts' usage beyond this file to confirm assumptions about the remote API response structure.
ast-grep --pattern $'$_["anchor_texts"]'

Length of output: 41

Action Required: Confirm the API’s "anchor_texts" Key Exists

The code in src/services/suggestions-api/endpoints/class-endpoint-suggest-inbound-links.php (lines 85–90) assumes that $link['anchor_texts'] is always defined. However, our initial ast-grep search for this key didn’t yield any further occurrences in the repository. Please manually verify that the remote API response consistently includes the "anchor_texts" key. If there’s any chance it might be missing or null, add a safeguard (for example, by wrapping the access in an isset() check or providing a default value).

585-585: Prevent potential XPath injection.

This line builds the XPath query directly using $this->uid. Ensure $this->uid is sanitized or encoded to avoid injection.

- $query = sprintf( '//a[@data-smartlink="%s"]', $this->uid );
+ $sanitized_uid = esc_attr( $this->uid );
+ $query         = '//a[@data-smartlink="' . $sanitized_uid . '"]';

src/Models/class-smart-link.php (2)

40-47: Recheck @since 3.16.0.

Previous reviews noted this likely belongs to a later version (e.g., 3.18.0) since the property is newly added.

---

1-1019: All other changes appear consistent.

No further security or functionality concerns in the remaining lines. Good adherence to WordPress coding standards and code organization.

src/rest-api/content-helper/class-endpoint-traffic-boost.php (5)

7-7: Version annotation verification.

You've placed multiple @since 3.17.0 annotations across this file. Verify that the version references accurately map to features introduced in 3.17.0 vs. 3.18.0, as some functions are tagged with 3.18.0.

---

32-34: Reusable trait usage looks clean.

Using the Content_Helper_Feature trait and Use_Post_ID_Parameter_Trait keeps code modular and consistent with the rest of the plugin. No issues noted here.

---

79-83: Missing explicit REST permissions callback.

While the routes are registered correctly, it’s not obvious whether Base_Endpoint enforces a permissions check. Ensure that each route requires the correct user capability to prevent unauthorized API calls.

---

92-92: We aren’t setting required here, in contrast to other route registrations.

This is identical to a past review comment mentioning the inconsistent use of 'required' => true for parameters across routes. If the parameter truly isn't mandatory, please confirm or document why.

---

293-303: Discarding previous suggestions logic appears correct.

The optional discard_previous parameter and its handling here look well-implemented. This helps avoid stacking stale suggestions. No further adjustments needed.
