* Keep JNA/UniFFI classes so wordpress-rs survives R8 in release builds (#22916) AGP 9's R8 strips the @com.sun.jna.Structure.FieldOrder annotation that wordpress-rs JNA bindings read reflectively at runtime, causing a launch crash in minified release builds. Keep the JNA classes, UniFFI bindings, and the annotation so native struct layouts still resolve. * Add temporary release notes * Merge release_notes/26.8 into release/26.8 (#22917) * Update WordPress `PlayStoreStrings.po` for version 26.8 * Update Jetpack `PlayStoreStrings.po` for version 26.8 * Update translations * Update translations * Update WordPress metadata translations for 26.8 * Update Jetpack metadata translations for 26.8 * Bump version number --------- Co-authored-by: Tony Li <tony.li@automattic.com>

Android reads \\ as an escaped literal backslash, which hides the %s placeholder from lint, so StringFormatMatches fails: ChooseSiteActivity supplies 1 argument but the string is seen as requiring 0. Use a single-backslash escape (\") to match the English source and every other locale. * Fix Czech delete-confirmation translations breaking release lint term_delete_confirmation_message carried the same doubled backslash (\\") as confirm_remove_site, hiding its %1$s placeholder so lint sees 0 args while TermsDataViewActivity supplies 1 (StringFormatMatches). It was the second such error; lint prints only the first failure, so it surfaced once confirm_remove_site was fixed. Also fix the two identical siblings delete_menu_item_confirmation_message and delete_menu_confirmation_message, which share the defect. Verified locally: :WordPress:lintWordpressRelease BUILD SUCCESSFUL, 0 errors. * Bump version number --------- Co-authored-by: Tony Li <tony.li@automattic.com> Co-authored-by: Jeremy Massel <1123407+jkmassel@users.noreply.github.com>

Private Atomic hosts gate anonymous requests, so discovery fails and the My Site "Unable to connect to your site" banner appears even though the site is reachable. Fall back to an authenticated app-password probe against the same host when discovery fails and credentials exist. * Log authenticated direct-host probe failures for diagnosability The authenticated app-password fallback previously returned a silent `false` on a non-success response, and the no-credentials path was also silent. Log both (mirroring the discovery-failure log) so a recurrence of the connectivity banner can be diagnosed from AppLog rather than being indistinguishable from "discovery failed, no creds". * Suppress the connectivity banner while the app password is being minted On first login an Atomic site's application password is minted asynchronously on the My Site screen, so the connectivity capability fetch can race ahead of it and fail purely for lack of credentials — flashing a false "unable to connect" banner that clears on the next refresh. Treat a credential-less fetch as pending rather than a connection failure, mirroring the existing offline suppression; the application-password card already owns the no-credentials state. * Re-detect editor capabilities when an app password is established The connectivity banner's capability fetch and the application-password mint both run on the My Site screen with no ordering, so on first login the fetch loses the race and capability flags aren't detected until the next resume/refresh. Add an app-scoped CredentialsChangedNotifier that both credential-establishment paths (headless mint and interactive login) emit to, and have the connectivity slice re-run detection on it — re-reading a fresh site so it observes the just-persisted credentials. This also closes the asymmetry where only the interactive path announced credential changes globally. * Hoist connectivity banner suppression into a named flag The four-way suppression condition tripped detekt's ComplexCondition threshold once the pending-credentials term was added. Lift it into a named `suppressBanner` flag — clearer intent, and out of the if-condition detekt inspects. No behavior change. * Surface the connectivity banner when the app-password mint fails The pending-credentials suppression also hid the banner when the headless mint *terminally* failed — and the application-password card can't render for private Atomic sites either (its authorize-URL discovery hits the same gated host), so the user was left with a broken site and no signal at all. Track terminal mint failure in the renamed ApplicationPasswordMonitor (was CredentialsChangedNotifier) and suppress only while provisioning is genuinely in flight; once the mint fails, surface the banner. The monitor also wakes capability detection on failure so the banner appears without waiting for the next resume/refresh. * Revert "Surface the connectivity banner when the app-password mint fails" This reverts commit 357fd82. The terminal-failure surfacing called onMintFailed on every non-success, including transient failures, so a transient first-login mint failure latched hasMintFailed and showed the false connectivity banner this PR set out to suppress. Revert to the pending-suppression behavior; the durable single-source-of-truth redesign is tracked in #22942. --------- Co-authored-by: Automattic Release Bot <mobile+wpmobilebot@automattic.com> Co-authored-by: Tony Li <tony.li@automattic.com>
