It now sends a bare, non-identifying signal (plugin version only \u2014 no site URL, WordPress version, or PHP version), distinct from a full survey response. Same fire-and-forget timing as before \u2014 deactivation is never delayed or blocked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.23.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: \"I need something to keep my food cold\" correctly inferred the implied product type \"cooler\", but this store's real matching product is titled \"Chest Freezer\" \u2014 the search found nothing and fell all the way to the Amazon-competitor fallback despite a relevant product existing. A broader \"freezer\" synonym is now retried once before giving up.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: \"Which is better, X or Y?\" comparison questions only ever restated the same price\/spec listing for both products without ever answering what was actually asked \u2014 now states a grounded trade-off (price-based value call plus each product's own description) before the breakdown, and the explicitly-named comparison path (\"Which is better, the Headphones or the Headset?\") now gets this same direct-answer treatment \"which one is cheaper?\" already had via conversation context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.23.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: The hybrid handoff's \/live-chat\/start 403 is now root-caused and fixed \u2014 QA isolated it via A\/B testing to only occur with an active WordPress login cookie present (e.g. an admin, or a logged-in WooCommerce customer account, browsing the storefront). Cause: WordPress core's own rest_cookie_check_errors() inspects the X-WP-Nonce header on every REST request when a login cookie is present, independent of any route's own checks \u2014 a nonce under that header wrong for the current logged-in context (e.g. served from a page-cache fragment shared across visitors) gets the whole request blanket-rejected before our own code ever runs, and refreshing to a nonce for the same wrong context doesn't help. The live-chat widget now sends its nonce under its own header name, which WP core never inspects, sidestepping the collision while keeping full CSRF protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.23.0 - 1.23.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improve: Live chat handoff is now \"hybrid\" \u2014 every handoff request is queued for the admin's live chat inbox as soon as it happens, regardless of whether an admin happens to have the Live Chats page open at that moment (previously the conversation was simply lost otherwise). Superseded by 1.23.4's actual root-cause fix for the \/live-chat\/start 403 this surfaced; see that entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.22.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: \"Cheapest [category]\" \/ \"most expensive [category]\" questions (\"What's your cheapest laptop?\", \"What's the cheapest TV you have?\") now filter by the named product type before sorting by price, instead of always showing the cheapest items catalog-wide with no laptop or TV in sight.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: \"What are the reviews like for the Fitness Smartwatch?\" and \"Are there any reviews for X?\" failed to resolve the named product \u2014 leading noise words (\"reviews\", \"like\", \"there\") were never stripped, and since they sat BEFORE the product name, the progressive-trim retry (which only drops keywords from the end) never got a chance to remove them. With no prior context this returned a generic \"which product?\" clarification; with a product previously shown in context, it incorrectly answered about THAT stale product instead of the one actually named.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.20.7 - 1.21.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: \"How many [Product] do you have in stock?\" (and without \"in stock\"\/\"available\" wording) failed to resolve the named product; \"What's new in stock?\" and \"best sellers\" misclassification; context\/keyword leakage across price-filter and cart-removal requests (now honestly redirects to the cart page); named coupon-code validity questions; shipping\/warranty\/policy hallucinated pages; product-spec and attribute questions ignoring the description field; savings questions not computing the actual number. New: Quantity\/total-cost questions now resolve the named product and compute quantity x price. Also fixed a stale auto-scroll position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.20.0 - 1.20.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: Cart-contents questions never actually read the real cart (silently deleted via a WC_Session_Handler validity check \u2014 now verifies the cookie's HMAC directly and reads via a plain read-only query); unescaped cart-session table-name DB parameter; hallucinated return-policy page reference; reversed order-status phrasing not recognized; price-filter follow-up discarding prior context and filler-phrase leakage into keyword extraction; gibberish input misclassified as a short product-name query. \"Tested up to\" bumped to 7.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.19.2 - 1.19.14<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: Cart-contents questions returned an HTTP 500 due to a WooCommerce session-init crash outside this plugin (a resumed session is now installed as the real <code>WC()-&gt;session<\/code> singleton); a discarded honest fallback message on non-200 HTTP responses; \"Tell me about the Wireless Gaming Headset\" returning 4 loosely-related products instead of the named one; bare-pronoun follow-up scoring, electronics category search, TV stock lookup, category-listing counts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"WinaltChat \u2013 AI chatbot and live human chat for WooCommerce.
