AI Launchpad: rework the sell goal to lead with store setup by Copons · Pull Request #50178 · Automattic/jetpack

Copons · 2026-07-02T15:18:12Z

Proposed changes

Reworks the AI Launchpad "sell" goal so it leads with store setup and shows the full commerce roadmap instead of collapsing to a couple of tasks on a fresh site.

Prepends two synthetic lead tasks: Install the WooCommerce plugin (to-do → installed-but-inactive "Activate" → complete-when-active) and Set up your store (completes when the WooCommerce core profiler is completed/skipped).
When WooCommerce is inactive, the woo_* commerce tasks that the catalog visibility gate would otherwise drop are kept as a disabled preview of the roadmap (muted, lock icon, expandable to the subtitle + an "Available once WooCommerce is active." hint, no CTA/Skip). They become actionable once WooCommerce is active.
Reorders the deterministic sell fallback list and the tailoring prompt to lead store-first.
Disabled previews never resolve completion or a CTA path — this avoids the WooCommerce completion callback's side-effect write firing during a read, and keeps a stale completion flag from rendering a locked task as "done".

Synthetic tasks are injected read-side in AI_Launchpad_REST; the shared launchpad catalog is untouched.

This is the third and last of the AI Launchpad first-pass design-feedback follow-ups, stacked on the gallery-task PR (#50166). Merge order: #50127 → #50166 → this.

Testing instructions

The AI Launchpad is behind a feature flag and off in production; test on an Atomic site where it's enabled (e.g. a WoA dev site with the mu-wpcom build synced).

Ensure the site has a persisted sell tailored output (goal sell), with WooCommerce not active.
Open wp-admin → AI Launchpad. You should see the full roadmap: Install the WooCommerce plugin and Choose a theme actionable; Set up your store, Customize your store, Add your products, Set up payment method, Launch your store shown as muted, locked cards that expand to their subtitle + "Available once WooCommerce is active." with no CTA/Skip.
Install + activate WooCommerce. Reload — the commerce tasks become actionable, Install the WooCommerce plugin shows complete, and Set up your store links to the WooCommerce setup wizard.
Complete or skip the WooCommerce setup wizard, reload — Set up your store shows complete.
Edge case: with WooCommerce inactive but a commerce task previously marked complete in woocommerce_task_list_tracked_completed_tasks, the task still renders as a locked preview (not "done"), and loading the list does not write launchpad_checklist_tasks_statuses.

Pull request overview

This pull request updates the AI Launchpad sell goal so store setup is always the lead-in, and WooCommerce-gated commerce tasks remain visible as a locked “roadmap” preview until WooCommerce is active. The change is implemented read-side in AI_Launchpad_REST (leaving the shared catalog untouched), with UI support for a new disabled task state and expanded PHPUnit/Jest coverage.

Changes:

Inject two synthetic lead tasks for sell: Install WooCommerce (to-do → activate → complete) and Set up your store (completes when WooCommerce onboarding profiler is completed/skipped).
Keep WooCommerce-gated commerce tasks in the tailored list as disabled preview cards (no CTA/skip, lock icon, expandable subtitle + hint) while WooCommerce is inactive.
Reorder the sell fallback and tailor prompt guidance to be store-first, with new tests covering disabled-task behavior and side-effect avoidance.

No change needed: this calls WordPress core’s global is_plugin_active(), which already returns true for network-activated plugins (it ORs is_plugin_active_for_network() internally). Additionally, AI Launchpad only runs on WoA/Atomic sites, which are single-site, not multisite networks.

Leads the sell sequence with an "install WooCommerce" task (CTA to the wp-admin plugin-install search); completes live once WooCommerce is active, so the visibility-gated woo_* tasks surface only after the store exists.

Reorder the sell fallback list and tailoring prompt store-first (customize store, then products, then payments), and add the "Set up store" CTA label.

Make the store and gallery synthetic tasks mutually exclusive by goal (a sell site with a visual niche no longer gets an off-target gallery task), drop the store task once WooCommerce is active instead of pinning a completed lead card, and inline the single-use goal predicate.

Replace the single store task with two single-concern lead tasks: an "Install the WooCommerce plugin" task (to-do / in-progress-when-inactive / complete-when-active) and a "Set up your store" task that appears once WooCommerce is active and completes when the core profiler is finished or skipped. All states read live from the plugin and woocommerce_onboarding_profile options.

Give the install task a distinct "Activate WooCommerce" CTA in its installed-but-inactive state instead of the draft-oriented "Continue", and simplify the lead injection to a plain array_merge (dropping the now-redundant insert_lead_task helper).

…Commerce is active

A disabled woo preview kept flowing through is_task_complete(), whose WooCommerce callback marks the task complete as a side effect — a persistent write during a read — and produced a completed flag the card rendered as done. Disabled tasks now short-circuit to completed=false with no CTA path, and the card checks disabled before completed.
