Plugin updates trigger fatal PHP errors that lock site owners out of wp-admin.

What's going wrong
Site owners running this WordPress.com Editing Toolkit plugin report that after installing or updating it, the admin dashboard throws fatal or critical PHP errors, sometimes leaving them unable to log in or reach their panel at all. Several reports cite missing class or undefined function errors, and some had to rename the plugin folder or roll back to an older version to regain access. Others say each new release brings more errors and that the same problems keep returning, with developers seemingly not testing before pushing. Staging-first installs help a few people, but many do not test first. The pattern points to a clear opportunity for a staging check with automatic rollback.
