Verify candidate finding V11 about cli_reset_postmeta production guard

Done

The assistant read the plugin's cli_reset_postmeta method (lines 945-968), grep'd for WP_ENV definitions across the repo, examined wp-config.php (Dotenv loading and required() call), checked .env files for WORDPRESS_HOME and ENV values, and inspected the phpdotnet validator's assertCallback. It then assessed each sub-claim: WP_ENV is never defined (holds), production bypass via empty WP_HOME is refuted because wp-config.php's required() throws before the command runs, and staging misfire is confirmed because the suffix match blocks staging.thedarkroom.com. The assistant produced a final JSON verdict of PLAUSIBLE.

outcome

Final verdict JSON produced with verdict PLAUSIBLE, sub-claim verdicts: WP_ENV never defined HOLDS, bypass (a) REFUTED, misfire (b) CONFIRMED.

key decisions

Checked wp-config.php's Dotenv required() behavior to refute the bypass claim, rather than assuming the guard fails silently.
Confirmed that the codebase uses ENV not WP_ENV, making the WP_ENV check dead code.
Verified that the suffix match on .thedarkroom.com blocks staging.thedarkroom.com, confirming the misfire.
