/**
* Abilities API: core functions for registering and managing abilities.
*
* The Abilities API provides a unified, extensible framework for registering
* and executing discrete capabilities within WordPress. An "ability" is a
* self-contained unit of functionality with defined inputs, outputs, permissions,
* and execution logic.
*
* ## Overview
*
* The Abilities API enables developers to:
*
* - Register custom abilities with standardized interfaces.
* - Define permission checks and execution callbacks.
* - Organize abilities into logical categories.
* - Validate inputs and outputs using JSON Schema.
* - Expose abilities through the REST API.
*
* ## Working with Abilities
*
* Abilities must be registered on the `wp_abilities_api_init` action hook.
* Attempting to register an ability outside of this hook will fail and
* trigger a `_doing_it_wrong()` notice.
* Example:
*
* function my_plugin_register_abilities(): void {
* wp_register_ability(
* 'my-plugin/export-users',
* array(
* 'label' => __( 'Export Users', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'description' => __( 'Exports user data to CSV format.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'category' => 'data-export',
* 'execute_callback' => 'my_plugin_export_users',
* 'permission_callback' => function(): bool {
* return current_user_can( 'export' );
* },
* 'input_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'enum' => array( 'subscriber', 'contributor', 'author', 'editor', 'administrator' ),
* 'description' => __( 'Limits the export to users with this role.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'required' => false,
* ),
* 'output_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'description' => __( 'User data in CSV format.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'required' => true,
* ),
* 'meta' => array(
* 'show_in_rest' => true,
* ),
* )
* );
* }
* add_action( 'wp_abilities_api_init', 'my_plugin_register_abilities' );
*
* Once registered, abilities can be checked, retrieved, and managed:
*
* // Checks if an ability is registered, and prints its label.
* if ( wp_has_ability( 'my-plugin/export-users' ) ) {
* $ability = wp_get_ability( 'my-plugin/export-users' );
*
* echo $ability->get_label();
* }
*
* // Gets all registered abilities.
* $all_abilities = wp_get_abilities();
*
* // Unregisters when no longer needed.
* wp_unregister_ability( 'my-plugin/export-users' );
*
* ## Best Practices
*
* - Always register abilities on the `wp_abilities_api_init` hook.
* - Use namespaced ability names to prevent conflicts.
* - Implement robust permission checks in permission callbacks.
* - Provide an `input_schema` to ensure data integrity and document expected inputs.
* - Define an `output_schema` to describe return values and validate responses.
* - Return `WP_Error` objects for failures rather than throwing exceptions.
* - Use internationalization functions for all user-facing strings.

/**
* Registers a new ability using the Abilities API. It requires three steps:
*
* 1. Hook into the `wp_abilities_api_init` action.
* 2. Call `wp_register_ability()` with a namespaced name and configuration.
* 3. Provide execute and permission callbacks.
*
* Example:
*
* function my_plugin_register_abilities(): void {
* wp_register_ability(
* 'my-plugin/analyze-text',
* array(
* 'label' => __( 'Analyze Text', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'description' => __( 'Performs sentiment analysis on provided text.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'category' => 'text-processing',
* 'input_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'description' => __( 'The text to be analyzed.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'minLength' => 10,
* 'required' => true,
* ),
* 'output_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'enum' => array( 'positive', 'negative', 'neutral' ),
* 'description' => __( 'The sentiment result: positive, negative, or neutral.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'required' => true,
* ),
* 'execute_callback' => 'my_plugin_analyze_text',
* 'permission_callback' => 'my_plugin_can_analyze_text',
* 'meta' => array(
* 'annotations' => array(
* 'readonly' => true,
* ),
* 'show_in_rest' => true,
* ),
* )
* );
* }
* add_action( 'wp_abilities_api_init', 'my_plugin_register_abilities' );
*
* ### Naming Conventions
*
* Ability names must follow these rules:
*
* - Include a namespace prefix (e.g., `my-plugin/my-ability`).
* - Use only lowercase alphanumeric characters, dashes, and forward slashes.
* - Use descriptive, action-oriented names (e.g., `process-payment`, `generate-report`).
*
* ### Categories
*
* Abilities must be organized into categories. Ability categories provide better
* discoverability and must be registered before the abilities that reference them:
*
* function my_plugin_register_categories(): void {
* wp_register_ability_category(
* 'text-processing',
* array(
* 'label' => __( 'Text Processing', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'description' => __( 'Abilities for analyzing and transforming text.', 'my-plugin' ),
* )
* );
* }
* add_action( 'wp_abilities_api_categories_init', 'my_plugin_register_categories' );
*
* ### Input and Output Schemas
*
* Schemas define the expected structure, type, and constraints for ability inputs
* and outputs using JSON Schema syntax. They serve two critical purposes: automatic
* validation of data passed to and returned from abilities, and self-documenting
* API contracts for developers.
*
* WordPress implements a validator based on a subset of the JSON Schema Version 4
* specification (https://json-schema.org/specification-links.html#draft-4).
* For details on supported JSON Schema properties and syntax, see the
* related WordPress REST API Schema documentation:
* https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/schema/#json-schema-basics
*
* Defining schemas is mandatory when there is a value to pass or return.
* They ensure data integrity, improve developer experience, and enable
* better documentation:
*
* 'input_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'description' => __( 'The text to be analyzed.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'minLength' => 10,
* 'required' => true,
* ),
* 'output_schema' => array(
* 'type' => 'string',
* 'enum' => array( 'positive', 'negative', 'neutral' ),
* 'description' => __( 'The sentiment result: positive, negative, or neutral.', 'my-plugin' ),
* 'required' => true,
* ),
*
* ### Callbacks
*
* #### Execute Callback
*
* The execute callback performs the ability's core functionality. It receives
* optional input data and returns either a result or `WP_Error` on failure.
*
* function my_plugin_analyze_text( string $input ): string|WP_Error {
* $score = My_Plugin::perform_sentiment_analysis( $input );
* if ( is_wp_error( $score ) ) {
* return $score;
* }
* return My_Plugin::interpret_sentiment_score( $score );
* }
*
* #### Permission Callback
*
* The permission callback determines whether the ability can be executed.
* It receives the same input as the execute callback and must return a
* boolean or `WP_Error`. Common use cases include checking user capabilities,
* validating API keys, or verifying system state:
*
* function my_plugin_can_analyze_text( string $input ): bool|WP_Error {
* return current_user_can( 'edit_posts' );
* }
*
* ### REST API Integration
*
* Abilities can be exposed through the REST API by setting `show_in_rest`
* to `true` in the meta configuration:
*
* 'meta' => array(
* 'show_in_rest' => true,
* ),
*
* This allows abilities to be invoked via HTTP requests to the WordPress REST API.

* Receives optional mixed input data (same as `execute_callback`) and
* must return `true`/`false` for simple checks, or `WP_Error` for
* detailed error responses.
* @type array<string, mixed> $input_schema Optional. JSON Schema definition for validating the ability's input.

* constraints for input data. Used for automatic validation and
* API documentation.
* @type array<string, mixed> $output_schema Optional. JSON Schema definition for the ability's output.

* `execute_callback`. Used for documentation and validation.
* @type array<string, mixed> $meta {
* Optional. Additional metadata for the ability.
*
* @type array<string, bool|null> $annotations {

* @type bool $show_in_rest Optional. Whether to expose this ability in the REST API.
* When true, the ability can be invoked via HTTP requests.
* Default false.
* }
* @type string $ability_class Optional. Fully-qualified custom class name to instantiate
* instead of the default `WP_Ability` class. The custom class
* must extend `WP_Ability`. Useful for advanced customization
* of ability behavior.
