Static-analysis fixes, no behaviour change. When reading GPS coordinates from raw EXIF, the check that rejects a 0,0 position now compares as floats explicitly. PHPStan could not infer the type, so it reported the comparison as always false. The map’s data-zoom attribute now passes a string to esc_attr() instead of an int. PHPStan level 5 is clean after this release.

Standards clean-up release (lh-tasks #149947), with no change to hooks, meta keys, REST routes or block names. The main file header now carries License: GPLv3 or later, License URI, Requires at least: 6.3 (the map block uses block.json apiVersion 3 and a render file) and Requires PHP: 7.4, so the compiled readmes no longer warn about missing fields. The hard-coded LH_PLACES_VERSION constant, stuck at 1.30, is gone. Script versions now come from a new plugin_version() that reads the Version header, so browser caches of the classic-editor script, the block-editor geo panel and the Leaflet map script now refresh on every release. The class follows the LH plugin structure: plugin_name() and plugin_version() identity methods, a private constructor, an initialised singleton property, and an lh_places_init_plugin filter in plugin_init() that lets a site disable the plugin without deactivating it. The class_exists() wrapper around the whole file is removed, because that pattern caused the lh-tasks early-binding outage. The wp-geometa-lib loader still runs at file level so its version arbitration happens before plugins_loaded. register_activation_hook() was being passed two stray arguments, which are now removed. This release also includes the 1.30.3 status filtering for the map block, documented in that release.
