Fixes: SMTNC-2023

Added a new function lw_harbor_store_unified_license_key() to store the unified license key from the plugin's interface. It refuses when a key is already stored, and never replaces one.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a public function for host plugins to submit unified license keys during onboarding.
    • License keys are validated before storage.
    • Existing license keys cannot be overwritten, and failed submissions return a failure status.
  • Documentation
    • Added integration guidance, usage details, validation behavior, and troubleshooting information.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for valid, invalid, duplicate, malformed, and unavailable-service scenarios.

Every licensing function in the registry is a read, so a host plugin that
collects a key on its own onboarding screen has no supported way to hand it
to Harbor. The only PHP that stores one is License_Manager, which a consumer
would have to reach into through its own Strauss-prefixed copy — exactly what
this API exists to prevent.

lw_harbor_store_unified_license_key() validates the key against the portal
before storing it, so callers keep the "that key was rejected" answer the REST
endpoint gave them.

It refuses when a key is already stored, and never replaces one. The guard has
to run before the API call rather than after: validate_and_store() writes the
key unconditionally on success and fires the changed action that wipes the
cached products, so a check placed afterwards would be reporting on a key it
had already destroyed. Cheaper, too — a redundant store now costs no HTTP
request and none of the rolling failure budget that gates the whole site's
activation flow.

The bool return collapses "already stored", "rejected" and "the call failed",
so both failure branches are logged: consumers that need to tell the first
apart can check lw_harbor_has_unified_license_key() first.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds lw_harbor_store_unified_license_key() to validate and store unified license keys. The API preserves existing keys, returns boolean status, logs failures, and includes fixture-backed tests and integration documentation.

Changes

Unified license key API

Layer / File(s) Summary
License key validation and storage
src/Harbor/API/Functions/Actions/Store_Unified_License_Key.php, src/Harbor/API/Functions/Global_Function_Registry.php
Adds the storage action and registers it as a versioned global callback. The action validates keys for the site domain, prevents overwrites, stores valid keys, and handles errors.
Public function exposure
src/Harbor/global-functions.php
Adds the public wrapper, which delegates to the registered callback and returns false when no callback exists.
Behavior coverage and integration guidance
tests/wpunit/API/Functions/Actions/Store_Unified_License_KeyTest.php, tests/wpunit/API/Functions/GlobalFunctionsTest.php, docs/guides/integration.md, src/Harbor/API/Functions/README.md, changelog/smtnc-2023-store-license-key-api.yaml
Adds fixture-backed tests for validation, persistence, duplicate protection, error handling, and inactive services. Documents the function and records the feature.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4a131

Concurrent onboarding requests can cause the newly exposed API to replace one valid license key with another, violating its promise to never overwrite an existing key and potentially leaving the site activated against the wrong license. Merge should wait until the duplicate check and write are atomic.

- Around line 40-53: Replace the preflight key_exists() guard in the unified
license-key storage flow with an atomic conditional write in the licensing
repository or manager, so validate_and_store() rejects the operation when an
applicable site or network key exists at commit time. Preserve the existing
refusal result/logging behavior, and add concurrent-request coverage using two
different valid keys.

* Refuses when a key is already stored, and never replaces one. That includes
* re-submitting the key already stored, and includes a network-level key seen
* from a subsite. Consumers wanting to tell "this site is already licensed"
* apart from "that key was rejected" should call
* lw_harbor_has_unified_license_key() first, since the return value here
* collapses the two.
*
* Deliberately stricter than the REST and WP-CLI surfaces, which do replace an
* existing key: those are admin-authenticated actions taken by someone who can
* see what they are overwriting, whereas this runs wherever a host plugin calls
* it.

I wonder if we should name this lw_harbor_maybe_store_unified_license_key() instead?

With it named as just "store", I would expect it to always store the key and overwrite one if it exists.

But since this only stores one if a key doesn't exist, then using the WP convention of "maybe" I think could be helpful here going forward.

Why not just read/delete from License_Repository normally? This way if License_Repository changes how it reads the Unified Key in the future, this Test can properly determine if that change broke something. If we make raw read/write/delete that coupling is lost.

Everything you're trying to do here are public methods on that object.

Same concerns here. I don't like us manually clearing this state using delete_option() when we're not actually testing License_Repository directly. We should instead call License_Repository's own methods to delete it.

The one part i'm concerned about here is how much of this logic are we duplicating across services? We have the REST License_Controller.php, the CLI command src/Harbor/CLI/Commands/License.php - is there an opportunity to share logic or are they genuinely different enough to only pull in specific pieces?

Closing this ticket as we don't need it anymore in favour of the existing REST API endpoint provided in harbor https://github.com/stellarwp/harbor/blob/main/src/Harbor/API/REST/V1/License_Controller.php
