What it does

Adds a focused WordPress semantic validator regression for wp_term_taxonomy.term_id rows left pointing at deleted wp_terms rows after merge.

Rationale

A source branch can delete a term while the target branch edits taxonomy rows that still reference that term. The row merge should keep the staged state reviewable and surface the stale owner edge instead of silently shipping an orphaned taxonomy row.

Implementation

  • Adds a wp_term_taxonomy fixture with two taxonomy rows sharing a deleted term owner.
  • Discovers a merge validator from mu-plugins that reports plugin-wp-term-taxonomy-missing-term findings.
  • Asserts the source term delete remains staged, target taxonomy edits remain visible, and plugin-scoped audit output includes the missing term_id, stale field, and affected taxonomy.
  • Updates docs/merge-reliability.md to list the new term-taxonomy reference coverage.

Testing instructions

php -l tests/cow/wp_semantic_validator.php
git diff --check
make test-cow-wp-semantic-validator
