The CPT is not registered `show_in_rest`, so it never appears on `/wp/v2/`, and — same WordPress-core boundary already established for woo-discount-rules (plugins/README.md's admin-page-only note) — the CPT list/edit screens render only inside an authenticated wp-admin session that Application Passwords do not authenticate. classified admin-page-only for that reason even though the underlying storage is a CPT, not a settings page."

Unlike woo-discount-rules (whose per-order-meta `_wdr_discounts` summary is real even though a fuller ledger also lives in a private table), THIS plugin puts the entire ledger in the private tables with no order-meta or order-item-meta trace at all — grepped the full tree for `update_post_meta`/`add_meta_data`/`update_meta_data` near order objects, zero hits."

In this (most common) mode there is no signal anywhere in `/wc/v3/orders` that a discount was ever applied to a given line, so even the historical fact of a discount is unrecoverable from REST — only the private tables above have it."

In this mode the discount would surface as a normal `coupon_lines[]` entry on `/wc/v3/orders` (title from option `coupon_discount_coupon_name`), reachable through the existing generic WooCommerce-coupon path (ecom/order-applied-discount's `coupon` one-of variant, via stores/coupon) — but it carries only the lump total, never the per-rule breakdown the private tables hold, and this mode is not the plugin default."

    "Options `vtprd_setup_options` (settings incl. `discount_taken_where`) and `vtprd_rules` are additional low-value detection candidates if a future run needs a second signal — not declared in `detect` here because neither was checked for `show_in_rest`/autoload exposure live.",
