## Description

ServicePress Connector Core transforms WordPress into an enterprise operational 
integration edge for ServiceNow.

Built for enterprise WordPress environments, ServicePress provides centralized operational
visibility, inventory synchronization, event-driven workflows, multisite governance,
and controlled integration patterns between WordPress and ServiceNow.

ServicePress supports:

 * Single WordPress installations
 * WordPress Multisite networks
 * Large distributed WordPress environments
 * Enterprise operational workflows
 * Security and vulnerability visibility
 * Controlled transport and synchronization pipelines

Unlike earlier inventory-only integrations, ServicePress 2.0 introduces:

 * Controlled outbound transport architecture
 * Queue-based synchronization workflows
 * Enterprise multisite governance
 * Scoped payload management
 * Privacy and data filtering controls
 * Role-aware administrative operations
 * Diagnostic and operational tooling
 * Optional legacy pull API compatibility

### Version 2.2.0 Minor Update

ServicePress 2.2.0 is a minor update from ServicePress 2.1.1.

This release preserves the existing ServicePress integration model while
 adding
enterprise credential protection, authorization controls, transport security, operational
safeguards, and expanded administration capabilities.

Highlights include:

 * AES-256-GCM encrypted credential storage
 * Automatic migration of existing ServicePress credentials
 * Credential rotation, ownership, expiration, health, and audit metadata
 * Administrative credential views that never redisplay stored secrets
 * Dedicated least-privilege ServicePress capabilities
 * Capability and nonce protection for state-changing actions
 * Mandatory recursive secret redaction
 * Mandatory omission of request and response bodies from persistent logs
 * HTTPS-only ServiceNow transport validation
 * ServiceNow hostname allowlisting
 * Private, reserved, loopback, link-local, and metadata address rejection
 * Mandatory TLS certificate verification
 * Redirect prevention for credential-bearing outbound requests
 * Queue and retry management
 * Import Readiness validation
 * Multisite diagnostics and governance improvements
 * Secure-by-default Legacy Pull API controls
 * Multisite-aware uninstall and data-retention handling

### Enterprise Features

 * WordPress multisite inventory synchronization
 * Controlled ServiceNow integration workflows
 * Queue-based payload processing
 * Configurable transports and systems
 * Payload inspection and previewing
 * Event simulation and operational testing
 * Privacy and data scope controls
 * Multisite diagnostics and operational governance
 * Optional `/spnow/v1` compatibility layer for legacy pull integrations
 * Application Passwords disabled by default
 * Capability-protected administrative workflows

### ServiceNow Integration

ServicePress integrates with certified ServiceNow applications and workflows to 
provide:

 * WordPress operational visibility
 * Site inventory synchronization
 * Plugin and theme visibility
 * Event-driven operational workflows
 * Vulnerability intelligence integrations
 * Enterprise observability pipelines

Additional ServicePress integrations may include:

 * Wordfence
 * WooCommerce
 * LearnPress
 * Enterprise publishing workflows
 * Operational control extensions

### Security Model

ServicePress 2.0 introduces a significantly hardened architecture compared to earlier
releases.

Security improvements include:

 * Capability-protected REST routes
 * Controlled multisite context switching
 * Optional legacy compatibility APIs
 * Application Passwords disabled by default
 * Request sanitization helpers
 * Scoped payload controls
 * Privacy-aware synchronization settings
 * Queue isolation and controlled transport workflows

Legacy compatibility APIs are disabled unless explicitly enabled for migration or
integration compatibility purposes.

### Legacy Pull API Compatibility

ServicePress 2.0 optionally supports legacy `/spnow/v1` pull endpoints for backward
compatibility with existing ServiceNow integrations.

Supported compatibility routes include:

 * `/spnow/v1/sites`
 * `/spnow/v1/networks`
 * `/spnow/v1/network_info`
 * `/spnow/v1/site_settings`

These routes are:

 * Capability protected
 * Multisite aware
 * Governed through the new 2.0 architecture
 * Intended for migration and compatibility workflows

### Enterprise Multisite Safety

ServicePress 2.0 was designed specifically for enterprise and large multisite WordPress
environments.

The platform introduces controlled multisite context handling, scoped synchronization
workflows, capability-protected administrative operations, and optional compatibility
APIs designed to minimize operational risk in large distributed WordPress networks.

ServicePress does not perform uncontrolled recursive synchronization or unmanaged
background crawling across multisite environments.

### Legal Disclosure

ServicePress facilitates operational integration workflows between WordPress and
ServiceNow environments.

Each organization is responsible for:

 * The configuration of synchronization workflows
 * Data governance and transport policies
 * ServiceNow operational workflows
 * WordPress administrative governance
 * Compliance and operational review processes

ServicePress stores configuration and operational records required to execute configured
integration workflows. Data transmitted to external systems is limited by the configured
synchronization, privacy, and data-scope controls.
