+
+## About
+
+Multisite Language Switcher (MSLS) is a WordPress plugin that adds multilingual support to WordPress multisite installations. It connects content (posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies) across sites in a multisite network for language switching.
+
+## Commands
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+composer phpunit                    # Run PHPUnit test suite
+composer phpunit -- --filter=TestClassName  # Run a single test class
+composer phpunit -- --filter=testMethodName # Run a single test method
+composer phpunit:clover             # Run tests with code coverage (XML)
+composer phpunit:html               # Run tests with code coverage (HTML)
+```
+
+### Static Analysis & Linting
+```bash
+composer phpstan                    # PHPStan at level 8
+composer phpcs                      # PHP compatibility check (7.4+)
+vendor/bin/phpcs                    # WordPress coding standards (uses .phpcs.xml.dist)
+```
+
+### Building
+```bash
+npm run build                       # Build JS (uglify + less + Gutenberg block)
+npm run build-msls-block            # Build only the Gutenberg block
+```
+
+### E2E Tests
+```bash
+npx playwright test                 # Run Playwright tests (against msls.co)
+npx playwright test --ui            # Run with UI
+```
+
+### Local Development Environment
+```bash
+npx wp-env start                    # Start WordPress multisite via wp-env (PHP 8.3)
+npx wp-env stop
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Repository Layout
+- `MultisiteLanguageSwitcher.php` — plugin bootstrap
+- `includes/` — core PHP classes
+- `src/` — JavaScript source components
+- `assets/` — CSS, JS, flags, images
+- `docs/` — developer reference (API, hooks, snippets)
+- `tests/` — PHPUnit and Playwright tests
+
+### Namespace & Autoloading
+- PSR-4: `lloc\Msls\` maps to `includes/`, split into per-concern sub-namespaces: `Admin\`, `Blog\`, `Cli\`, `Component\`, `ContentImport\`, `ContentTypes\`, `Data\`, `Db\`, `Frontend\`, `Link\`, `Options\`, `Registry\`, `Request\`, `RestApi\`
+- PSR-4 (dev): `lloc\MslsTests\` maps to `tests/phpunit/`
+- Plugin bootstrap: `MultisiteLanguageSwitcher.php` — defines constants, then on `plugins_loaded` requires `includes/aliases.php`, `includes/deprecated.php`, and `includes/api.php`, builds the PHP-DI container from `config.php`, and calls `lloc\Msls\Plugin::init()` plus `lloc\Msls\Cli\Cli::init()`
+- **Backwards-compatibility aliases**: `includes/aliases.php` registers the ~60 pre-3.0 flat class names (`MslsOptions`, `MslsLink`, `MslsPlugin`, …) as `class_alias()` entries for their namespaced replacements. Write new code against the namespaced names; the aliases exist only for third-party consumers
+
+### Key Patterns
+- **Registry/Singleton**: `Registry\Instance` is the base class providing the `::instance()` static accessor (backed by `Registry\Registry`); `Registry\GetSet` extends it to add overloaded property access
+- **Factory methods**: `Options\Options::create()`, `Options\Tax\Tax::create()`, `Options\Query\Query::create()`, `ContentTypes\ContentTypes::create()` return context-aware instances based on WordPress conditional tags (is_category, is_tag, is_day, etc.)
+- **Options hierarchy**: `Options\Options` (base, extends `GetSet`) → `Options\Post\Post` (post translations) / `Options\Tax\Tax` → `Options\Tax\Term` → `Options\Tax\Category` (taxonomy translations) / `Options\Query\Query` → `Author`, `Day`, `Month`, `Year`, `PostType` (archive pages)
+- **Link rendering**: `Link\Link` base class with variants (`Link\TextOnly`, `Link\ImageOnly`, `Link\TextImage`) — selected by the display index 0–3 from `Link\Link::get_types()`, controlled by admin settings
+- **Content Import**: `ContentImport/` subsystem handles duplicating content across sites with importers for post fields, meta, terms, attachments, and thumbnails
+- **REST API / Quick Create**: `RestApi/` exposes the endpoints behind the editor metabox button and the "Add from Translation" submenu (`Admin\TranslationPicker\`)
+
+### Global API Functions
+`includes/api.php` exposes the template functions: `msls_the_switcher()`, `msls_get_switcher()`, `msls_get_permalink()`, `msls_get_flag_url()`, `msls_blog_collection()`, etc. Legacy names (`the_msls()`, `get_the_msls()`, …) live in `includes/deprecated.php` and forward to them with a `_deprecated_function()` notice.
+
+### Developer Documentation
+`docs/` holds the reference material: `api.md` (public API functions), `hooks.md` (every action and filter), `snippets.md` (integration recipes), `acknowledgements.md` (credits and translators). Keep these in sync when adding or renaming a hook or an API function.
+
+### Test Framework
+- PHPUnit 10 with Brain\Monkey for WordPress function mocking
+- Patchwork for redefining PHP internals (`filter_input`, `filter_input_array`, `filter_has_var`)
+- Base test class: `MslsUnitTestCase` — sets up Monkey, stubs common WP escaping/i18n functions
+- Tests mirror the source structure with a `Test` prefix: `includes/Options/Tax/Term.php` → `tests/phpunit/Options/Tax/TestTerm.php`
+
+## CI
+
+GitHub Actions runs PHPStan, PHPCS, PHPUnit, and Playwright on every pull request.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- WordPress Coding Standards enforced via PHPCS (tabs, Yoda conditions, WordPress function spacing)
+- All classes use `declare(strict_types=1)`
+- Text domain: `multisite-language-switcher` everywhere — in the plugin header and in every `__()` / `esc_html__()` call. Do not use `msls` as a text domain; it is the name of the plugin's option row (`get_option( 'msls' )`)
+- Do not modify the plugin header in `MultisiteLanguageSwitcher.php`
+- Do not edit `vendor/`, `build/`, `node_modules/`, or language files directly

+## 3.0.0
+
+* Add Quick Create for translations: create the translated post straight from the editor metabox, or pick a source post on the new "Add from Translation" submenu (single and bulk), backed by a REST endpoint and switchable in the settings.
+* Add `msls_quick_create_capability` so integrations can override the Quick Create permission checks, plus filters for the post data, the inserted post, the response, the untranslated-posts list, and the mapped taxonomy terms.
+* Add filter hooks for the AJAX suggest results of the post and term metaboxes.
+* Restructure `lloc\Msls\` into per-concern sub-namespaces (`Admin\`, `Blog\`, `ContentImport\`, `ContentTypes\`, `Frontend\`, `Link\`, `Options\`, `Registry\`, `RestApi\`). Every former flat `Msls*` class name keeps working through the aliases in `includes/aliases.php`.
+* Move the public helper functions into `includes/api.php` and make the `$attr` argument of `msls_get_switcher()` optional.
+* Add a PHP-DI container for service construction.
+* Documentation: add a developer reference under `docs/` (public API, hooks, snippets, acknowledgements) and refresh the class and package diagrams.
+* Fix: check authorization on the destination post during content import, and correct the ContentImporter permission and post type checks.
+* Fix: do not fall back to `home_url()` for taxonomy and query archives.
+* Fix: broken links on the page for the latest posts.
+* Fix: several issues in the blog collection.
+* i18n: close gaps in the WP-CLI messages and the Quick Create button title.
+* Internal: strict typing throughout, PHPStan level 8 clean, `ABSPATH` guards, Plugin Check and PHPCS findings addressed, wp-env setup for local multisite development.
+* Maintenance: numerous dependency updates.
+
 ## 2.10.1
 * Fix: Deprecated function warning pointed to non-existent function.
 * Documentation: update README.md code snippets to reflect new function names.
