+# Folder Structure
+
+This document outlines the folder structure of the plugin and explains the purpose of each directory.
+
+## Root Directories
+
+- **admin/** - Contains admin-specific functionality and assets
+- **includes/** - Contains core plugin functionality and classes
+- **languages/** - Contains translation files
+- **scripts/** - Contains build and deployment scripts
+- **.ai-workflows/** - Contains documentation for AI assistants
+- **.github/** - Contains GitHub-specific files like workflows
+- **.wordpress-org/** - Contains WordPress.org assets like banners and screenshots
+
+## Admin Directory Structure
+
+- **admin/css/** - Admin-specific CSS files
+- **admin/js/** - Admin-specific JavaScript files
+- **admin/images/** - Admin-specific images
+- **admin/partials/** - Admin-specific template partials
+- **admin/settings/** - Admin settings functionality
+- **admin/tools/** - Admin tools functionality
+- **admin/lib/** - Admin-specific library files and helper functions
+  - **admin/lib/admin.php** - Admin class for handling admin-specific functionality
+  - **admin/lib/modal.php** - Modal class for handling the update source selector modal
+
+## Includes Directory
+
+The `includes/` directory contains the core plugin functionality:
+
+- **includes/core.php** - Core class for handling the main plugin functionality
+- **includes/plugin.php** - Main plugin class that initializes all components
+- **includes/updater.php** - Updater class for handling plugin updates
+
+## File Naming Conventions
+
+- All PHP files in the `includes/` directory use lowercase filenames
+- All directories use lowercase names
+- JavaScript and CSS files use kebab-case (e.g., `update-source-selector.js`)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Unique Directory Names**: Each directory should have a unique name to avoid confusion
+2. **Logical Organization**: Files should be organized logically by function
+3. **Consistent Naming**: File and directory names should follow consistent naming conventions
+4. **Clear Separation**: Admin functionality should be separate from core functionality
+5. **Minimal Dependencies**: Files should have minimal dependencies on other files
+
+## @mentions for AI Assistants
+
+When referring to files or directories in AI conversations, use the following format:
+
+- **@includes/plugin.php** - Main plugin class
+- **@includes/core.php** - Core functionality
+- **@admin/lib/admin.php** - Admin functionality
+- **@admin/lib/modal.php** - Modal functionality
+- **@includes/updater.php** - Updater functionality
+- **@admin/js/update-source-selector.js** - Update source selector JavaScript

+# Incremental Development and Testing Guide
+
+This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with incremental development and testing for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
+
+## Time-Efficient Development Principles
+
+### Branch Naming for Development
+
+1. **Initial Development Branches**
+   - Use descriptive names without version numbers:
+     - `fix/issue-description` - For bug fixes
+     - `feature/descriptive-name` - For new features
+     - `patch/descriptive-name` - For small improvements
+     - `refactor/descriptive-name` - For code restructuring
+   - **Don't update version numbers** during this phase
+   - Focus on implementing and testing the changes
+
+2. **Version Branches**
+   - Only create after changes are confirmed working:
+     - `v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}` (e.g., `v2.2.3`)
+   - Only update version numbers at this point
+   - This minimizes unnecessary version updates
+
+### Version Numbering Guidelines
+
+1. **Patch Versions (X.Y.Z → X.Y.Z+1)**
+   - Use for bug fixes and small improvements
+   - Example: `v2.2.3`
+
+2. **Minor Versions (X.Y.Z → X.Y+1.0)**
+   - Use for new features or significant improvements
+   - Example: `v2.3.0`
+
+3. **Major Versions (X.Y.Z → X+1.0.0)**
+   - Only increment when numerous features and fixes are tested and confirmed stable
+   - Reserved for breaking changes or significant overhauls
+   - Example: `v3.0.0`
+
+### Marking Stable Versions
+
+When the user confirms that changes are working correctly:
+1. Create a version branch and update version numbers
+2. Tag the version branch as stable
+   ```bash
+   git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
+   ```
+3. Document in the PR or issue that this version has been confirmed stable
+
+## Local Testing Workflow
+
+### 1. Create a Descriptive Branch for Development
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you have the latest main branch
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+
+# Create a descriptive branch (without version numbers)
+git checkout -b fix/plugin-activation-error
+```
+
+### 2. Make Changes Without Updating Version Numbers
+
+During the development and testing phase:
+- Implement the necessary changes
+- **Don't update version numbers** in any files yet
+- Focus on the functionality
+
+### 3. Build and Deploy Locally
+
+For local testing, use the current version number from the main plugin file:
+
+```bash
+# Get the current version from the plugin file
+CURRENT_VERSION=$(grep -o "Version: [0-9.]*" wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php | cut -d' ' -f2)
+
+# Build and deploy with current version
+./build.sh $CURRENT_VERSION
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Create a build directory
+2. Copy required files to the build directory
+3. Deploy the plugin to your local WordPress testing environment
+
+**Note**: For local testing iterations, you do not need to commit changes, push to remote repositories, or create tags unless specifically requested.
+
+### 4. Test and Evaluate
+
+Test the changes thoroughly in the local environment:
+- Verify that the specific issue is fixed or feature works as expected
+- Check for any regressions or new issues
+- Document the results
+
+### 5. Based on Testing Results
+
+- **If changes need further refinement**: Continue working in the same branch
+- **If changes work as expected**: Proceed to version branch creation
+
+### 6. Creating a Version Branch
+
+When changes are confirmed working and ready for release:
+
+1. Create a version branch with the appropriate version number:
+
+```bash
+# Determine the appropriate version increment (patch, minor, or major)
+# based on the nature of the changes
+git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+2. Now update version numbers in all required files:
+
+- Main plugin file (wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php)
+- CHANGELOG.md (add a new version section)
+- readme.txt
+- README.md
+- languages/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot (Project-Id-Version)
+
+3. Commit the version updates:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} - [brief description]"
+```
+
+4. Tag the version as stable:
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
+```
+
+## Remote Testing Workflow
+
+When the user specifically requests remote testing:
+
+### 1. Commit Changes to Remote Repository
+
+If testing a development branch (without version updates):
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "[brief description] for remote testing"
+git push origin [branch-name]
+```
+
+If testing a version branch (with version updates):
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} - [brief description]"
+git push origin v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+### 2. Create and Push Tag (For Version Branches Only)
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} for remote testing"
+git push origin v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+This will trigger GitHub Actions to build the installable ZIP file.
+
+### 3. Verify Remote Build
+
+Check that the GitHub Actions workflow completed successfully and the ZIP file is available for download.
+
+### 4. Test and Evaluate
+
+Test the remotely built version and document the results.
+
+## Contributing to External Repositories
+
+When working on issues for external repositories (pull/merge requests):
+
+### 1. Clearly Indicate Testing Status
+
+In the PR description and comments, clearly indicate the testing status:
+
+- **Not tested**: "This PR addresses [issue] but has not been tested locally or remotely. It's ready for community/maintainer testing."
+- **Locally tested**: "This PR has been tested in a local WordPress environment and [describe results]."
+- **Remotely tested**: "This PR has been tested with a remote build and [describe results]."
+
+### 2. Provide Testing Instructions
+
+Include clear instructions for maintainers on how to test the changes:
+
+- Steps to reproduce the original issue (if applicable)
+- Steps to verify the fix or feature
+- Any specific environments or configurations needed for testing
+
+### 3. Be Responsive to Feedback
+
+Monitor the PR for feedback from maintainers and be prepared to make additional changes if requested.
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+If a change causes issues after release:
+
+### 1. Identify the Last Stable Version
+
+Find the last version that was marked as stable:
+
+```bash
+git tag -l "*-stable"
+```
+
+### 2. Create a New Branch from the Stable Version
+
+```bash
+git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable
+git checkout -b fix/rollback-based-fix
+```
+
+### 3. Make Necessary Changes
+
+Implement the fix based on the stable version. Don't update version numbers yet.
+
+### 4. Test the Changes
+
+Test thoroughly to ensure the fix resolves the issues.
+
+### 5. When Confirmed Working
+
+Create a version branch with an incremented patch version and update all version numbers as described in the "Creating a Version Branch" section.
