Surface the canary and email the admin when it trips (WebDecoy/app#679) - #81
Merged
Conversation
…app#679) Every zero-config install already arms a honeytoken canary; until now the owner could never see it (the hidden link skips logged-in users and the path appeared nowhere in admin) and a trip produced a database row and nothing else. Now: - the honeytoken settings section shows the canary URL with a 'Trip it now' link (and notes that an allowlisted IP's trip is ignored) - the Detections page empty state becomes the trip-it-yourself prompt - the dashboard widget offers the canary while there is nothing to show - a honeytoken trip emails the site admin (wp_mail, at most one per hour, canary_email_enabled default on, toggle in settings). Other tripwires stay email-silent: public scanners hit bait paths all day, but nothing legitimate ever touches the honeytoken.

The plugin already plants a live canary on every zero-config install (the honeytoken path plus its invisible link) — but the owner could never see it, and tripping it produced a silent database row. This PR makes the canary a first-class trip-it-yourself experience, canarytokens-style, with zero cloud dependency:
94 tests pass; phpcs 0 errors. Ships with the next release (2.7.0) via bin/release-all.sh — not releasing here.
