+# WordPress Functions Compatibility Data
+
+The `wp_functions_compatibility` check uses a generated dataset:
+
+- `includes/Vars/wp-functions-since.json`
+
+That file maps WordPress function names to the WordPress version where they were introduced (`@since`).
+
+## Regenerate Locally
+
+From this plugin root:
+
+```bash
+php tools/generate-wp-function-since-data.php \
+  --wordpress-dir=/absolute/path/to/wordpress \
+  --output=includes/Vars/wp-functions-since.json
+```
+
+Example for this repository's standard local layout:
+
+```bash
+php tools/generate-wp-function-since-data.php \
+  --wordpress-dir=../../../ \
+  --output=includes/Vars/wp-functions-since.json
+```
+
+## Automation
+
+The GitHub workflow:
+
+- `.github/workflows/generate-wp-functions-since-data.yml`
+
+regenerates this file on a schedule and via manual dispatch, and opens a pull request when the dataset changes.
