Summary of work done

Sam clarified that sidebar phone cleanup should be treated as a quick win so long as the skills and agent guidance do not cause a reversion. I traced the current rule sources and confirmed the Python quality gate already flags sidebar_visible_phone, and sail-sidebars already says the sidebar CTA should use a click-to-call link with the phone number only in the tel: href.

The gap was broader guidance: agents working from page-builder or revise skills could edit sidebars without being forced to load sail-sidebars or apply the phone anti-reversion rule. I patched that guidance.

Files updated

QA

Verified the updated guidance appears in all four files with rg. The audit code already catches visible sidebar phone numbers in /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/wp-content-visual-scripts-2026/scripts/wp_content_quality_gate.py, so no code change was needed there.

Reason for ending session

The guidance patch is complete. No live WordPress pages were changed in this step. The next execution step can safely treat sidebar phone cleanup as a quick-win batch, then rerun the May 20 audit to confirm sidebar_visible_phone and sidebar_cta_label_drift counts drop.

Suggested next step

Proceed with sidebar phone cleanup as a published-page batch, starting with the May 20 audit failures. Because the guidance is patched, future agents should be less likely to restore visible phone-number text in sidebar CTAs.

Importance: High. Status: complete for guidance, pending for live page cleanup.
