New endpoint: GET /{owner}/{repo}/updates/wordpress.json
Generates JSON compatible with the YahnisElsts plugin-update-checker
library — the standard for commercial WordPress plugin self-hosted
updates. Returns name, slug, version, download_url, homepage,
requires_php, author, sections (changelog HTML), icons, and banners.
License key validation: reads from ?license_key=, ?dlid=, or ?key=
query params (PUC sends these via addQueryArgFilter). When RequireKey
is enabled, returns minimal empty response without download_url.
Changelog section built from release notes (last 10 stable releases),
converting markdown list items to HTML <ul>/<li> elements.
Icon/banner URLs point to conventional paths in the repo:
assets/icon-128x128.png, assets/icon-256x256.png
assets/banner-772x250.png, assets/banner-1544x500.png
Route registered at /updates/wordpress.json alongside existing
/updates.xml (Joomla) and /updates/dolibarr.json.
