New: internal helper class Helpers consolidating duplicated read patterns across Admin, Core, and GlobalView.
Update: WordPress 7.0 readiness validated — metadata, CI matrix, and deprecated API audit complete.
Warning: adopting the meta-key filters creates a soft data-binding to this version or newer. Rolling back to a pre-1.1.0 version after using a non-default meta key will cause the plugin to read from the default keys again; customized-key rows remain in the database and can be recovered by reactivating the filter on 1.1.0+.
