  summary: >-
    Gradual code-deprecation policy. Deprecated code is removed only after at
    least 8 major versions, giving addon developers time to migrate. Three phases:
    soft deprecation (a code comment marks the upcoming change), hard deprecation
    (a PHP notice is emitted when WP_DEBUG is true), and deletion (the code is
    removed and calling it may raise a fatal error).
  mechanism: >-
    A dedicated Deprecation PHP class (introduced in Elementor 3.1) handles all
    developer notices and backwards-compatibility. Since 3.14 deprecated
    functions/methods/classes carry @deprecated phpDoc/jsDoc tags so IDEs flag
    them during development.
  debug_constants:
  - WP_DEBUG
