How AI was used in this PR

I used Claude for both planning and implementation.

Proposed Changes

This PR includes all changes from #4430, with resolved merge conflicts, plus logic to display a "Your site's backup exceeds 5 GB" warning after the pull, if applicable.

That warning is needed because even when Reprint pulls are launched, pushes will still be powered by Jetpack Backups for a while longer, and there's a 5 GB upload limit for those that continues to apply.

Testing Instructions

TBD

Pre-merge Checklist

  • Have you checked for TypeScript, React or other console errors?

flat-docroot --force deletes whatever stands where a symlink must go,
so a first pull wiped the plugins, themes and uploads that only the
local site had. --on-flatten-to-conflict=adopt moves those entries into
the fs-root first, so they survive and stay where a later push can read
them, and a plugin or theme the pull also carries is left to the pull
rather than merged with the local copy.

Still first-pull only. A delta re-pull passes no mode at all, keeping
the default that refuses to overwrite a live site.

Reprint is pinned to the committed phar while these changes are
unreleased, so the download step no longer replaces it.
Testing pull-reprint end to end needs all three unreleased Reprint
changes at once, and no single branch carries them:

  #557 preserve-local-content-into-fs-root    02d0ab73
       --on-flatten-to-conflict=error|replace|adopt
  #540 f26d/apply-runtime-db-apply-option     ba329f38
       --target-* options for apply-runtime
  #436 adamziel/expose-import-layout-metadata 6dc0141f
       source layout and artifact status from import-metadata

Built from integration/studio-test-build in the reprint worktree, which
merges the three cleanly; its Import suite passes at 650 tests. Rebuild
by merging those three heads and running composer build:phar.
Reprint's adopt conflict mode now moves the wp-content entries that
only the site directory holds into the fs-root, so Studio no longer
needs its own pass to do it. The two overlapped on every remaining
case: an unselected path, a kept database and a local-only plugin are
all simply absent from the fs-root, which is what adopt keys on.

Reprint's version is also the more careful one. It stops at whole
plugins and themes, where seedEntry() recursed into any directory both
sides had and would merge two versions of the same plugin. And it runs
where the source of each component is already resolved from preflight,
so a detached uploads directory is adopted against the directory it
actually came from.

The first-pull selective-sync test now asserts what Studio is
responsible for — asking for the adopt mode — rather than the file
movement a mocked Reprint never performs.
resolveOnlyPathsToAbsolute() existed to tell the local preservation
pass which remote paths the selection covered. Nothing asks that
question now, so it and its token table go, along with the test that
was its only remaining consumer.

Also drops a stale line claiming a partial first-pull selection has its
unselected local content preserved here; the flatten step keeps it.
#436 and #540 have landed on Reprint's trunk, so the bundled build no
longer needs an integration branch carrying three heads. This one is
trunk plus the merge-wp-content PR, which replaces #557's
--on-flatten-to-conflict with a command of its own:

  merge-wp-content <url> --state-dir=DIR --fs-root=DIR --from=DIR

Built from the merge-wp-content branch in the reprint worktree with
composer build:phar; its Import suite passes at 650 tests. Rebuild by
checking out that branch and running the same command.

The download step in scripts/download-wp-server-files.ts stays disabled
while these changes are unreleased.
A first pull onto a site that already has content kept that content by
asking flat-docroot to adopt it. Reprint has replaced that mode with a
command of its own, so the pull now runs it as a step:

  merge-wp-content <url> --state-dir --fs-root --from=<site path>

It moves the plugins, themes, uploads and anything else only the local
wp-content has into the fs-root, so the symlink the flatten then puts in
their place still reaches them, and files-push, which reads the fs-root
and nothing else, can still see them. Entries the pull already has are
left alone, and a plugin or theme both sides have is never merged:
keeping the files the pulled version dropped would leave a directory
matching no release.

The step runs only on a first pull. Afterwards the site's wp-content is
a symlink into the fs-root, so it has nothing of its own left to move
and the command would find nothing. It has to follow pull-files, whose
local index Reprint reads as the record of a finished file pull; run any
earlier and every unfetched path looks absent, so local copies move in
and the pull writes remote versions over them.

flat-docroot goes back to --force on a first pull, exactly as it was
before the adopt mode existed.

Two consequences worth knowing, both unchanged from adopt. A blank
Studio install's wp-content/db.php and wp-content/mu-plugins/
sqlite-database-integration move into the fs-root, which is the tree
Reprint indexes and a future files-push would send, even though
Studio's own exporter excludes both as local-only. Neither runs: the
generated runtime.php pre-sets $wpdb, so require_wp_db() returns before
it would require db.php, and WordPress does not auto-load mu-plugin
subdirectories. And on a first pull with the database excluded, the live
wp-content/database/.ht.sqlite moves too, resolving again through the
symlink the flatten places, so there is a window between the two steps
where the site's database is not at its path.
Review of the Reprint side turned up two defects, both fixed on the
merge-wp-content branch at 3f8020ca and neither visible in Studio's
invocation, so this is a phar refresh with no code change beside it.

A relative symlink pointing inside the wp-content being merged now keeps
its value instead of being recomputed against where its target stood
before the run. A child theme pointing at its parent broke as soon as
both moved, which a first pull onto a site using one would have hit.

And --from is resolved against the working directory when relative. That
threw "Path must be absolute" on every run with anything to move.
Studio passes the absolute site.path from its own site record, so it
never reached this one.

Built from the merge-wp-content branch in the reprint worktree with
composer build:phar, and checked through the archive itself: a relative
--from resolves, an in-tree sibling link keeps its value and finds its
parent, and a link pointing out of the tree is still rewritten and still
resolves.

Reprint's --from took a site directory and appended wp-content to it.
It now takes that directory, so a site which moved WP_CONTENT_DIR merges
like a conventional one, and pointing the flag at a wp-content directory
no longer succeeds having done nothing.

Studio passes metadata.sitePath + wp-content, which is the same path it
was resolving to before, so the pull behaves as it did.

The bundled Reprint is rebuilt from the branch carrying that change.

A pulled site's wp-content is a symlink into the pull's raw directory,
and nothing that looks for symlinks descends through one: `find` needs
-L to follow, the Node walk treats a symlinked directory as a leaf, and
chokidar runs with followSymlinks off. So the open_basedir scan of the
site directory stopped at that link and never saw the plugins and themes
behind it, and the watcher, pointed at the same link, saw nothing at all.

A theme symlinked into wp-content before a pull survives the pull now,
and then fails to load:

  Warning: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
  File(…/wp-content/themes/koinonia) is not within the allowed path(s)

Resolving the directory before scanning it fixes both. On the test site
that takes the granted set from 4 entries to 12; seven of the new ones
are WP.com's symlinked plugins, which resolve inside the pull directory
and were already covered, and the eighth is the theme, which points at
~/Downloads and was not.

The scan resolves its own argument, so any caller handing it a symlink
is covered. That alone does not reach the reported case: the startup
scan is given the site directory, which is real, and the link is one
level inside it — hence the second scan naming wp-content.

realpath is the native variant for the reason getFullyResolvedTmpDirPath
already uses it: these paths become an INI value, and a Windows 8.3 short
name carries a tilde that PHP's argument scanner rejects.

Ports the `Reprint pull engine` beta feature onto the current pull-reprint
command. `pullSite` now takes its trailing arguments as an options object
carrying the engine, while keeping the cancellation plumbing and the progress
`action` passthrough that landed on trunk in the meantime.

The pull also reports overall progress as a percentage, exits non-zero when it
fails, reinstalls the SQLite integration so phpMyAdmin keeps working, announces
a reused content selection when it resumes, and defers marking a site `pulling`
until the first step that actually rewrites the site directory.

Both front ends read the same beta feature: the `studio ui` server resolves it
from app.json through a shared helper rather than staying on Jetpack silently.

This is a re-application of #4430 onto #4582; the original branch could not be
rebased, so its commits do not appear here.

A Reprint pull used to ignore what the user picked and fetch the whole site.
The selection was only ever reduced to Jetpack backup node ids, which Reprint
has no use for, but the tree it came from also carries the wp-content path
Reprint does select by.

The dialog now reduces the tree a second way, to wp-content-relative paths and
a database flag, and both forms travel together so the engine can be resolved
where the pull runs. Picking a single plugin now pulls only that plugin.

The new reduction mirrors the CLI picker's, and both are tested against the
same cases so they cannot drift apart.

A Jetpack pull can warn before downloading, because it sizes up the one backup
archive it is about to fetch. Reprint streams the site in pieces, so there is
no total to read up front and the question can only be answered afterwards.

Studio now measures wp-content once the pull finishes and says so if the site
is over the limit. The tally is of uncompressed files while the limit applies
to a gzipped upload, so it over-reports and the wording says the push "may"
fail. That bias is deliberate: a false alarm is cheap, and staying quiet would
let the user hit the ceiling at push time instead.

Both front ends answer the question the same way, through one function that is
meant to be deleted once push moves to Reprint and the ceiling goes away.

@fredrikekelund I tested this and it kept failing. There is some path mismatch issue. Let me know if I need to something differently.
