docs: add meeting data model reference for migrations
Adds an opt-in include_available_years REST param that returns the distinct calendar years with published meetings, independent of the request's own included_years/start_date/end_date filtering. Gated behind the param so ordinary requests pay no extra query cost.
A checkbox field for switching the table into single-year mode, picked up automatically by the shortcode/builder/block controls through the shared field registry.
Adds the empty edbs-year-switcher-<id> container next to the existing table/pagination/info containers, and the year/select/prev/next strings the frontend year switcher needs.
Adds defaultRenderYearSwitcher (dropdown + prev/next, mirrors defaultRenderPagination) and wires it into instance.js: goToYear() resets pagination and refetches, URL state gets a new edbs_year_<id> param alongside the existing edbs_page_<id>, and the default request builder scopes included_years to the selected year and requests available_years once yearView is on. The template contract in registries.js documents the new renderYearSwitcher override and the year-switcher-rendered/year-changed events.
Matches the existing pagination-button styling.
Adds the year_view field, include_available_years REST param, the renderYearSwitcher template contract addition, and the new year-switcher-rendered/year-changed events to the extension-points table. Regenerates docs/hooks.md (line-number drift only).
WalkthroughBoardScribe now supports year-based meeting views. The REST endpoint returns available meeting years when requested. The frontend renders year navigation, updates URL state, fetches year-scoped meetings, and exposes template and lifecycle hooks. ChangesYear View
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new single-year view can present an incomplete year list because date-string ordering may hide newer meeting years, and related date parsing and filter-hook documentation concerns remain unresolved. Merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance of these bounded risks. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

edbs_agenda_link has the edbs_meeting_formatted_date description, and edbs_minutes_link has the row-builder description. Both filters operate on generated link markup. Correct the generator or source documentation, then regenerate this file so add-ons receive the correct callback contract.

Confirmed pre-existing — same wrong descriptions exist on develop before this PR, just at different line numbers (the doc generator's docblock-matching picks the wrong nearest block for these two filters). Out of scope for this PR; leaving as-is.

@pattonwebz, thanks for confirming the defect is pre-existing on develop.
This PR does not need to change the generated hook descriptions. Would you like me to create a follow-up GitHub issue for the docblock matching problem in tools/generate-hooks-docs.php?

Learning: In the BoardScribe repository, `docs/hooks.md` is generated by `tools/generate-hooks-docs.php`. The generator can associate `edbs_agenda_link` and `edbs_minutes_link` with the wrong nearest docblock, which produces incorrect hook descriptions. This pre-existing documentation-generator defect is unrelated to the Year View feature.

…y dates Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #91: - get_available_years() now runs through the same edbs_rest_query_args filter get_meetings() uses, so a Pro taxonomy/meta constraint on the main query excludes matching years from the switcher too. - Derives each year via parse_date() instead of a raw SQL YEAR(), so legacy d/m/Y-formatted meta values resolve to the correct year.
Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #91: - fetchMeetings() tags each request with an incrementing ID so a slower, superseded response (e.g. from a quick year switch) can no longer render or emit edbs:fetch-error after a newer one already has. - A year read from the URL that isn't in available_years (a stale bookmark, or since-deleted content) now falls back to the newest available year instead of rendering an empty table under a switcher with both navigation buttons disabled.

Fix the m/d/Y parsing failure before claiming support.
DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '03/15/2023') returns 2024-03-03 with a warning. Because parse_date() accepts this result, get_available_years() can assign the meeting to 2024. Validate parsing errors and normalized output, then add an m/d/Y regression case.

Confirmed — this is a real bug in parse_date() itself (it doesn't check DateTime::getLastErrors()/normalized output, so an overflowed d/m/Y parse of an m/d/Y-formatted value is silently accepted). But parse_date() is shared, public/static, and documented as the contract Pro relies on for its own date derivation (see its docblock) — fixing its acceptance logic changes output for every existing caller (display formatting, block preview, etc.), not just this PR's new get_available_years(). That's a bigger, separately-scoped fix than a year-view feature PR should carry. I've left a comment in the test noting this is a known pre-existing limitation, and will file it as a follow-up issue rather than fix it here.
Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #91: get_available_years() was calling apply_filters( 'edbs_rest_query_args', $args, null ), which would fatal a Pro callback type-hinted against WP_REST_Request (the filter's documented type everywhere else it fires). get_meetings() already has the real request in scope, so pass it through instead.
…uses A security review flagged two issues in get_available_years(), both on an anonymous public route: - It ran posts_per_page => -1 (genuinely unbounded), then called get_post_meta() once per post - fields => 'ids' skips WP_Query's cache priming, so that's an uncached query per post (N+1). Now bounded by the same edbs_rest_absolute_max_per_page cap get_meetings() already applies to -1/"show all" requests, ordered newest-first so a capped result still favors the years a switcher's users care about most, with update_meta_cache() priming the cache in one query before the loop. - It used get_posts(), which defaults to suppress_filters => true - unlike get_meetings()'s WP_Query, so a visibility-scoping plugin's posts_where/posts_join clause would apply to the meetings list but not the year list, letting a caller infer the existence of a year whose posts were meant to be hidden. Switched to WP_Query with suppress_filters => false to match get_meetings() exactly.

WordPress WP_Query orderby meta_value sorts post meta value SQL documentation
💡 Result:
In WordPress, using 'meta_value' or 'meta_value_num' in WP_Query's orderby parameter directs the query to sort results based on the content of the 'meta_value' column in the 'wp_postmeta' table [1][2]. Because all meta values are stored as strings (LONGTEXT) in the database, the choice between these two options determines how MySQL handles the data type during sorting [2]. 1. meta_value: Sorts the meta data as a string (alphabetical order) [2]. For example, the values '1', '10', and '2' would be sorted as '1', '10', '2' [2]. 2. meta_value_num: Forces the database to cast the 'meta_value' to a numeric type before sorting [3][2]. This ensures that values like '1', '2', and '10' are sorted as integers (1, 2, 10) [2]. For either parameter to function, you must define the associated 'meta_key' within your query arguments [1][2]. If 'meta_key' is omitted, the ordering parameter typically fails and defaults to the post date [2]. Under the hood, WordPress performs an INNER JOIN (or LEFT JOIN depending on the query) with the 'wp_postmeta' table [4][2]. When 'meta_value' or 'meta_value_num' is set, WP_Query generates SQL that orders by the 'meta_value' column of that joined table [5][4]. For more complex scenarios—such as ordering by multiple meta values or specific sub-clauses in a complex 'meta_query'—it is recommended to assign keys to your meta clauses [1][6]. You can then reference those specific clause keys directly in the 'orderby' array, which provides greater control and avoids ambiguity regarding which meta table alias the SQL should target [1][6][4]. top_results: [1][3][4][2]

Order capped available-year queries by a canonical meeting date.
WP_Query orders raw edbs_meeting_date strings with orderby => 'meta_value'. get_available_years() applies the cap before parse_date() extracts years, so 31/12/2023 can displace 01/01/2025 while 01/01/2026 remains selected. The response can omit a newer available year. Use a canonical sortable date before applying the cap, and add the three-date integration test.

Summary
Adds an opt-in "Single Year View" to the table display: a year switcher (dropdown + prev/next) that scopes the meetings list to one calendar year at a time, with pagination continuing to work as normal within that year.
Prompted by a WordPress.org review (it-simply-works-85) asking for a way to browse many years of meetings without one long paginated list — the reviewer's workaround today is placing one shortcode/block per year manually. This is PR 1 of 2; a follow-up PR adds transient-backed REST caching for the review's second, separate ask (endpoint was slow on a host with no object cache).
year_viewcheckbox field on the shared field registry — automatically appears in the shortcode builder and the block's InspectorControls, no separate wiring needed.include_available_years(opt-in, so ordinary requests are unaffected) returns the distinct calendar years with published meetings, independent of anyincluded_years/start_date/end_datefiltering on the same request.defaultRenderYearSwitcher(dropdown + prev/next buttons), wired intoinstance.jsviagoToYear()— resets pagination to page 1, adds a newedbs_year_<id>URL param alongside the existingedbs_page_<id>for shareable/bookmarkable links, and refetches.template.renderYearSwitcheroverride point and two new lifecycle events (edbs:year-switcher-rendered,edbs:year-changed) documented inregistries.jsandCLAUDE.md, matching the existing pagination/info override pattern.Test plan
