Merge BD Bookshelf (0.1.0), BD BookShelfHelper (2.0.0) and BD SimpleEmail
(2.0.0) into a single plugin released as Umbra Bookshelf 1.0.0, with the
BD Bookshelf theme left as a separate, unrenamed artifact.
Modules
includes/books/ catalogue, ISBN/ASIN, series, retail, ratings, shortcodes,
SEO, GDPR, scrapers, admin, CSV/post import
includes/library/ book post type + series taxonomy, pen names, data entry,
shortlinks, reviews, migrate
includes/email/ subscribers, newsletters, composition, sending
Renamed: plugin headers, text domains (all three -> umbra-bookshelf), classes
(BD_*/BDM_* -> Umbra_*), constants (-> UMBRA_BOOKSHELF_*), asset handles, JS
globals and admin slugs.
Deliberately not renamed -- persisted contract with live installs and with
published post content: table names, option keys, post meta keys, transients,
nonce actions, cron hooks, AJAX actions, shortcodes ([bd-book], [bd-books],
[bdm_signup]), post type `book`, taxonomy `series`, cookies and CSS classes.
BD_BookShelfHelper survives only as a class_alias for the unmodified theme.
Collisions resolved
* class-umbra-theme-compatibility.php declared BD_BookShelfHelper, the same
name as the library module's helper. Latent while the plugins were
separate (only fired when both were active), but an unconditional fatal
once merged. Renamed to Umbra_Theme_Compatibility with a class_alias.
* All three modules called add_menu_page. One top-level menu is now
registered by the bootstrap at admin_menu priority 9.
* BD Bookshelf and BookShelfHelper both claimed bd-bookshelf-settings, leaving
one Settings screen unreachable -> umbra-bookshelf-settings and
umbra-bookshelf-library-settings.
* Catalogue and library both enqueued bd-bookshelf-admin; the second enqueue
was silently discarded -> unique handles per module.
* Umbra_Admin and Umbra_Migration both registered bd_bookshelf_import_csv, so
one handler silently replaced the other. The import page now lives only in
Umbra_Admin (the variant wired to the admin JS); Umbra_Migration keeps only
the preview/run endpoints it uniquely provides.
* Modules were constructed from an init callback, so their own init
registrations raced the hook being dispatched. Now constructed on
plugins_loaded behind a re-entrancy guard.
Also
* Missing assets created: assets/images/default-cover.png (referenced but
never committed, so every cover-less book 404'd) and email/assets/js/
admin.js (enqueued on every email admin page but never committed).
* Library module's strpos($hook, 'bd-bookshelf') asset check matched every
catalogue and email screen once slugs shared the umbra-bookshelf- prefix;
now matched against its own slug list.
* Consolidated uninstall deduplicates the double drop of bd_books/bd_series.
* Specs aligned to the new name; pre-merge specs retained under
spec/archive/ with provenance notes.
* Tests added: tests/verify_structure.py (static) and tests/smoke_runtime.php
(WordPress-stub runtime boot, front-end and admin contexts).
Deferred and recorded in docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md: the catalogue and library
modules still create bd_books and bd_series with two incompatible schemas
(pre-existing, now unconditional), and Goodreads/Amazon scraping is still
implemented twice on shared cron hooks.
Archived specifications
These are the design documents for the three plugins as they existed before the Umbra Bookshelf consolidation. They are kept for provenance: the reasoning behind the original data models is not captured anywhere else.
They describe superseded code and must not be used as an implementation
reference. Where they disagree with ../SPEC_Umbra_Bookshelf_Plugin.md, the
consolidated specification is correct.

Old plugin names, class names and table names are preserved verbatim in these files on purpose — they are a record of what was, not a description of what is.
The pre-merge .docx specifications (BDMurphy-Plugin-Specifications-v2.2.docx,

archived Bookshelf repository rather than rewritten here.
