Decision rule: directory metadata is a pre-flight signal, not a compatibility or security guarantee. Back up the database and files, verify that the backup is usable, and test critical site flows on staging before production updates.

Plugin	Version	Min WP / PHP	Tested to	Signal	Observed change/signal	Recommended action
WooCommerce `woocommerce`	10.9.4	6.9 / 7.4	7.0.2	HIGH	requires_wordpress_above_target	Do not update on this target: the plugin requires a newer WordPress version. Review the upgrade sequence first. Official directory record
Wordfence Security `wordfence`	8.2.2	4.7 / 7.0	7.0.2	LOW	None detected	No directory-metadata warning detected; still back up and test the update before production. Official directory record
