Move real-time collaboration code to lib/experimental/collaboration - #80469
Merged
Conversation
RTC is not part of WordPress 7.1, and whether it lands in a future release is still undecided. Move the sync/save servers, storage, the collaboration bootstrap, the RTC autosaves controller and its REST override, and the RTC meta-box compat out of compat/wordpress-7.1 into a dedicated experimental/collaboration directory. The autosaves controller extends WP_REST_Autosaves_Controller, so it stays inside the class_exists( 'WP_REST_Controller' ) guard; the meta-box compat moves to the unconditional Experimental features section.

What?
Part of #80387
Move the RTC PHP code out of
lib/compat/wordpress-7.1/into a dedicatedlib/experimental/collaboration/directory.Why?
RTC did not ship in WordPress 7.1. It could have moved to
lib/compat/wordpress-7.2/, but there is no certainty it will be released in 7.2 either. Until the target release is clear, keeping the code in an isolated experimental directory is a better place to keep developing it than a version-specific compat folder that implies a shipping target.Testing Instructions
This is a pure file/require relocation with no behavior change. All CI checks should pass.
