dwindown da84c9ec8a feat: Streamline settings and document addon support strategy
## 1. Eliminate Unnecessary Settings Tabs 

**Before:** 13 tabs (too many!)
**After:** 9 tabs (clean, focused)

**Removed:**
-  Advanced (just redirected to WC Admin)
-  Integrations (just redirected to WC Admin)
-  System Status (just redirected to WC Admin)
-  Extensions (just redirected to WC Admin)

**Kept:**
-  WooNooW (main settings)
-  Store Details
-  Payments (simplified WC UI)
-  Shipping & Delivery (simplified WC UI)
-  Tax (simplified WC UI)
-  Checkout
-  Customer Accounts
-  Notifications
-  Brand & Appearance

**Rationale:**
- Bridge tabs add clutter without value
- Users can access WC settings from WC menu
- Keep only WooNooW simplified UI
- Match Shopify/marketplace patterns

---

## 2. Settings Pages Implementation Plan 

Created SETTINGS_PAGES_PLAN.md with detailed specs for 4 missing pages:

### A. WooNooW Settings
- General settings (SPA mode, theme, items per page)
- Performance (caching, preload)
- Features (quick edit, bulk actions, shortcuts)
- Developer (debug mode, API logs)

### B. Checkout Settings
- Checkout options (guest checkout, account creation)
- Checkout fields (company, address, phone)
- Terms & conditions
- Order processing (default status, auto-complete)

### C. Customer Accounts Settings
- Account creation (registration, username/password generation)
- Account security (strong passwords, 2FA)
- Privacy (data removal, export, retention)
- Account dashboard (orders, downloads, addresses)

### D. Brand & Appearance Settings
- Store identity (logo, icon, tagline)
- Brand colors (primary, secondary, accent)
- Typography (fonts, sizes)
- Admin UI (sidebar, breadcrumbs, compact mode)
- Custom CSS

**Timeline:** 3 weeks
**Priority:** High (WooNooW, Checkout), Medium (Customers), Low (Brand)

---

## 3. Community Addon Support Strategy 

Updated PROJECT_BRIEF.md with three-tier addon support model:

### **Tier A: Automatic Integration** 
- Addons respecting WooCommerce bone work automatically
- Payment gateways extending WC_Payment_Gateway
- Shipping methods extending WC_Shipping_Method
- HPOS-compatible plugins
- **Result:** Zero configuration needed

### **Tier B: Bridge Snippets** 🌉
- For addons with custom injection
- Provide bridge code snippets
- Community-contributed bridges
- Documentation and examples
- **Philosophy:** Help users leverage ALL WC addons

### **Tier C: Essential WooNooW Addons** 
- Build only critical/essential features
- Indonesia Shipping, Advanced Reports, etc.
- NOT rebuilding generic features
- **Goal:** Save energy, focus on core

**Key Principle:**
> "We use WooCommerce, not PremiumNooW as WooCommerce Alternative. We must take the irreplaceable strength of the WooCommerce community."

**Benefits:**
- Leverage 10,000+ WooCommerce plugins
- Avoid rebuilding everything
- Focus on core experience
- No vendor lock-in

---

## Summary

**Settings:** 13 tabs → 9 tabs (cleaner, focused)
**Plan:** Detailed implementation for 4 missing pages
**Strategy:** Three-tier addon support (auto, bridge, essential)

**Philosophy:** Simplify, leverage ecosystem, build only essentials.

WooNooW

WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, myaccount) and the admin (orders, dashboard).

Three Admin Modes:

  • Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow)
  • Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
  • Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at yoursite.com/admin with custom login

🔍 Background

WooCommerce is the most used ecommerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With Reactbased blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woos legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.


🚀 Key Principles

  • No Migration Needed Woo data stays intact.
  • Safe Activate/Deactivate revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
  • Hybrid by Default SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/MyAccount.
  • Full SPA Toggle optional Reactonly mode for max performance.
  • HPOS Mandatory optimized datastore and async operations.
  • Compat Layer hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
  • Async Mail & Tasks powered by Action Scheduler.

🧱 Tech Stack

Layer Technology
Backend PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler
Frontend React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional)
Build & Package Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation
Architecture Modular PSR4 classes, RESTdriven SPA islands
