Proposed Changes

Refactoring & Maintenance

[MODIFY] class-core.php

• Rate Limiting: logic needs to be updated to support global/no-auth checks as noted in TODO comments.

[MODIFY] uninstall.php

• Mastodon Cleanup: Move inline API cleanup logic to a dedicated service handler methods to improve maintainability and testability.

[MODIFY] services/*/settings.php

• Reduce Duplication: Methods like process_callback and render_connect_form share significant boilerplate. Consider moving common logic to ServiceSettings abstract class.

Verification Plan

Automated Tests

• Future: Add PHPUnit tests covering the refactored logic.

Manual Verification

• Verify posting to all supported platforms after any refactoring.
• Verify uninstall process cleans up options correctly.
