Subject: [PATCH] setup wizard: ask for a wallet, not a mailbox The installer is the one place in WordPress where the fork cannot do its work from a plugin. It runs before plugins load, and it refuses to finish without an email address, so a site with no mail identity cannot be installed at all. The change is the smallest one that removes the requirement: - "Your Email" becomes "Your wallet address", and it is optional. The installer has nothing to verify a signature against yet — the site does not exist — so an address typed here is taken on trust and can be replaced from the profile screen afterwards, where it CAN be proved. - The two is_email() gates become one address check. - wp_install() still receives an email string, because its signature and everything downstream of it expects one. It gets a permanently unroutable .invalid placeholder. The two helper functions are defined by the Sirius Press bootstrap must-use plugin, which loads before this file on every request including the installer. If that plugin is missing, they fall back to accepting nothing and the installer behaves as it does on stock WordPress minus the email field.
