Thickbox is a library that is packaged with WordPress. When loaded, it adds the css/js to show modals.
It isn't a recommended library but it is hard to remove from Core https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10955.

Preferred to remove it as:

  • It loads the lib & assets every page request
  • Testing with it was difficult

This PR will replace it with the native browser dialog.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Image details and backup restoration now use accessible dialogs with responsive sizing, scrolling, and improved close-button feedback.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Backup restoration shows progress while running, closes its dialogs after success, and displays an error message if restoration fails.
    • Invalid backup requests and failed restorations now return appropriate error responses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The details interface replaces Thickbox with native dialogs. JavaScript handles dialog controls and backup restoration. The restore endpoint sets HTTP 400 or 500 for the corresponding failure cases. CSS and integration tests are updated.

Changes

Native Dialogs and Backup Restoration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Details dialog markup and controls
src/class-tiny-plugin.php, src/views/compress-details.php, src/js/admin.js, src/css/admin.css, test/integration/compression.spec.ts, test/integration/conversion.spec.ts
The details view uses a native dialog with open, close, and backdrop-click handling. The plugin no longer calls add_thickbox(). CSS styles the dialog, and integration tests check for the native dialog.
Backup restoration through the dialog
src/class-tiny-plugin.php, src/views/compress-details-backup.php, src/js/admin.js, src/css/admin.css, test/integration/backup.spec.ts
The restore button submits through a delegated handler. The endpoint sets status 400 for attachment-request validation errors and status 500 when restoration fails. The handler closes dialogs and replaces the container on success. On failure, it displays an error and re-enables the button.

Editor Test Setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Welcome guide setup in post creation
test/integration/utils.ts
For WordPress versions above 5, the post creation helper waits for the editor store and disables the welcome guide when it is active.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 717ed

Restore failures preserve the retry interface, and the editor test helper uses APIs available across its supported WordPress versions. No demonstrated change-specific workflow failure remains.

Return an error status for restore failures.

The validation errors returned by validate_ajax_attachment_request() and a false result from restore_backup() are echoed and exited without setting an error status. A 200 response resolves restoreBackup(), so the handler can close both dialogs and replace the container with the error text instead of preserving the retry UI.

 			echo esc_html( $response['error'] );
 			exit();
