Connecting a source's users to WordPress.org accounts with the CSV on its Users page (#1180, #1181) created or switched on each row's user, with access to the mailboxes their conversations are in, even when the source had deleted that user. For WordCamp US's import that switched on 128 users for people deleted from scout.wc-us.org; they've been disabled by hand.

Now rows for deleted users are still connected and credited, so their old replies keep their WordPress.org name and avatar, but they aren't switched on: a user created for them, or one an import created disabled, stays disabled. A user who's already active here still gets access to the mailboxes that row's conversations are in, since those are credited and assigned to them. The Check page says so on those rows. When someone's deleted and current users name the same account, the current one's row still switches the user on, whichever row comes first.

The source's API doesn't give a user's status. Core appends _deleted and the time to a deleted user's email, which is what People::is_deleted() checks.

Bumps the module to 1.1.1.

Testing

  • test_csv_connects_users_who_will_work_here gains a deleted user, who's connected but stays disabled.
  • test_csv_credits_rows_naming_the_same_account_to_one_user puts the deleted user's row first, and checks the user still ends up active.
  • Full FreeScout suite (507 tests) and phpcs pass locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Deleted source accounts remain connected and credited to the appropriate user, but are not enabled or granted mailbox access.
    • Connection plans now clearly mark accounts deleted at the source as not switched on.
    • Existing local users retain their active status when a deleted source account shares their connection.

Connecting a CSV row created or switched on the row's user, with access to
the mailboxes their conversations are in, even when the source had deleted
that user. Rows for deleted users are still connected and credited, but their
user isn't switched on or given access, and one created for them is
disabled. When someone's deleted and current users name the same account,
the current one's row still switches the user on, in either order.

The source's API doesn't give a user's status; core appends `_deleted` and
the time to a deleted user's email, which is what tells them apart.

Walkthrough

The importer detects deleted WordPress.org users, records that status in the connection plan, and does not activate those users during application. The connection view, instructions, and tests reflect this handling.

Changes: Deleted user connection

People::is_deleted() recognizes the deleted-email suffix followed by 14 digits. The connection plan records whether each resolved remote user is deleted.

Deleted users are not activated during application. The connection table and instructions describe the handling. Tests cover a new deleted-user mapping and a shared account where the active mapping follows the deleted mapping. The module version changes to 1.1.1.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 41472

Deleted source users are now connected and credited without being enabled. In the narrow case where a deleted row and a current row share one account, the deleted row's imported work may still grant mailbox access to the shared active user. The login instructions could also mislead operators about disabled users. Both are bounded and easy to correct, so the change is mergeable with awareness of them.

A critical compatibility issue can cause an Error on older FreeScout cores during CSV processing, and the regression test also omits verification that deleted users do not receive mailbox access.

What changed in this PR

Updates the FreeScout import so source-deleted users remain connected for historical attribution without being activated or granted mailbox access. The module version is bumped to 1.1.1.

Changes:

  • Detects deleted users through FreeScout’s _deleted email suffix.
  • Keeps deleted users disabled and skips activation and mailbox access.
  • Preserves duplicate-account crediting while allowing current users to activate the shared account.
  • Updates the Check page, documentation, regression tests, and module metadata.
  • Critical: People.php unconditionally references User::EMAIL_DELETED_SUFFIX, which can cause an Error on older compatible FreeScout installations.
  • Nit: The regression test should also assert that deleted users do not receive mailbox access.

A deleted remote user's row skipped People::activate() entirely, so an
already-active user it was credited to, like a connected agent or one an
earlier row switched on, didn't get access to the mailboxes that user's
conversations are in. Only a disabled user is left alone now.

The Users page said every connected user can log in with their
WordPress.org account, but one deleted on the source stays disabled. The
README said such a user isn't given mailbox access either, while an already
active user still gets access to the mailboxes they're credited in, so it
now says only that a disabled one stays disabled.
