+## [2.4.48] — 2026-09-14
+
+### Changed — Precision + consistency (traced to WP core dispatch)
+
+- Grounded the authz/nonce rules in the WordPress core dispatch: `wp_ajax_*` and
+  `admin_post_*` fire ONLY when `is_user_logged_in()`, while `*_nopriv_*` fire
+  unauthenticated. `missing_authz` is now scoped to nopriv handlers that perform
+  a state-changing/privileged operation.
+- Added a DANGEROUS_OP_RE gate: `missing_nonce`/`missing_authz` only fire when
+  the handler actually performs a WRITE (option/meta/user/post/comment writes,
+  file upload/write, `$wpdb->query/insert/update/delete`, `wp_mail`, `wp_redirect`).
+  Read-only handlers (list/search/get) are no longer flagged — removes the CSRF/
+  authz false-positive storm (forminator 90→16, elementor 11→4, wp-fastest-cache
+  15→1).
+- Removed `is_admin()` / `wp_doing_ajax()` from the auth surface — they are
+  request-context checks, not authorization (treating them as auth caused false
+  negatives).
+
 ## [2.4.47] — 2026-09-14
 
 ### Changed — WordPress integration coverage is now COMPLETE (class-method + direct handlers)
