I built a WordPress 7.0 compatibility scanner CLI that detects deprecated editor integrations and iframe-unsafe code patterns in plugins/themes. It gives rule IDs, migration replacements, and CI exit codes so teams can block risky code before release windows.

If you maintain WordPress 6.9.x sites, the main 7.0 Beta transition risks are clear on February 17, 2026: runtime drift from the new PHP minimum (7.4), regression churn during beta/RC, and plugin/theme compatibility assumptions that were safe on 6.9.x but fail on pre-release builds. The practical mitigation is a dual-track release process: keep production on 6.9.x while running structured 7.0 beta validation before RC freeze.
