IMPORTANT PRODUCT DIRECTION
============================================================

ShiftDB should remain a database maintenance, migration-safety and diagnostics product. Avoid adding arbitrary code execution, PHP/JavaScript editors, file-manager functionality or external executable-code downloads, because these conflict with current WordPress.org submission requirements.

Before public submission, the product name should be re-checked for trademark/project-name conflicts, the complete plugin should be tested with WordPress Plugin Check, and all legitimate findings should be resolved.
