Safe Code Snippets & Theme Rollback Backups

Letting AI assistants write code on your live website requires uncompromising safety guardrails. Digent Smart AI is engineered with two major safety innovations: Crash-Proof Code Snippets and Automatic Theme Rollbacks.


1. The Isolated Safe Code Snippets Engine (wp_snippets)

Traditional snippet plugins run custom code directly in your active WordPress execution thread. If an AI writes a syntax error or calls a non-existent function, your site can crash with a fatal White Screen of Death (WSOD).

Digent Smart AI solves this completely:

  1. Pre-Execution Syntax Linting: Every PHP snippet is tokenized and verified using php_check_syntax() before saving to disk.
  2. Isolated mu-plugin Execution: Snippets are saved inside wp-content/mu-plugins/digent-smart-ai-snippets.php.
  3. Fatal Error Containment: Snippets execute within structured try/catch wrappers. If any snippet throws an unhandled error, only that specific snippet is disabled, keeping your website 100% online.

2. Automatic Rollback Backups (wp_files)

Whenever an AI modifies an active theme file (e.g., functions.php, style.css, or template files):

  1. A timestamped snapshot of the original file is automatically saved into:
    wp-content/digent-smart-ai-backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-II-SS_filename.php
    
  2. If any edit causes an unexpected result, you or your AI can instantly revert to the previous snapshot with one command:

    "Revert the last modification to my child theme style.css from the backup snapshot."
