Plugin Directory: Drop the banner color used for generated icons - #1025
Jetpack deprecated Tonesque in 13.8, so every plugin import that calculates a banner color logs deprecation notices for Tonesque::__construct and Tonesque::imagecreatefromurl.
As discussed in comment:1 on the ticket and in review, this drops the banner color rather than reimplementing Tonesque. The color only applied to generated geopattern icons for plugins with a banner but no icon, while every import downloaded and decoded the banner to compute it.
Changes
Remove Tools::get_image_average_color().
Drop the banner fetch in cli/class-import.php and delete_post_meta() the stored assets_banners_color, so existing colors clear out on the next import.
Stop reading the meta in Template::get_geopattern_icon_url() and remove its unused $color parameter. GeoPattern now derives the color from the slug, as it already does for most generated icons.
Remove register_meta( 'assets_banners_color' ) and the assets_banners_color default in the upload handler.
Keep the geopattern-icon/<slug>_<color>.svg rewrite rule and route, since cached API responses still point at those URLs.
Testing
No references to get_image_average_color, Tonesque or assets_banners_color remain in the plugin directory, apart from the delete_post_meta() call.
Both URL forms the route serves return an SVG on s.w.org today: geopattern-icon/<slug>.svg, which generated icons now use, and geopattern-icon/<slug>_<color>.svg, which cached responses still use.
php -l and PHPCS pass on the changed lines.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Changes
Plugin banner colors are no longer calculated during import or stored with plugin listings, and are no longer available through the REST API.
Generated plugin pattern icons no longer use a banner color value; their appearance is based on the plugin slug.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The changes remove banner color calculation and REST exposure. Geopattern URLs now use only the plugin slug. Imports and uploads no longer write or initialize banner color metadata.

Add explicit timeout and response-size limits to the remote fetch.
wp_safe_remote_get() applies a finite default timeout, so this is not an unbounded-delay issue. However, the default does not limit the response body. This method reads the complete successful response before decoding it, so a large banner response can consume excessive memory.
wp_remote_retrieve_response_code() handles WP_Error values, so a separate WP_Error guard is not required before this call.

Thanks for the careful comparison! I'd rather go with the direction from comment:1 on the ticket and drop the banner color than reimplement Tonesque.
The color only shows up on generated geopattern icons for plugins that have a banner but no icon. In a sample of 750 plugins from the API (new, updated, popular), 5 icons used it. To get it, every import downloads and decodes the banner, even though almost every plugin has its own icon and never uses the result. Without the color, GeoPattern falls back to a color derived from the slug, which most generated icons already use.
Could you rework the PR to:
Remove Tools::get_image_average_color().
Drop the banner fetch in cli/class-import.php and delete_post_meta()assets_banners_color instead, so stored colors clear out on the next import.
Stop reading the meta in Template::get_geopattern_icon_url() and remove its unused $color parameter.
Remove register_meta( 'assets_banners_color' ) and the assets_banners_color entry in the upload handler.
Keep the geopattern-icon/<slug>_<color>.svg rewrite rule and route, since cached API responses still point at those URLs.
@muneeb-ashraf are you planning to rework this along the lines @obenland described (removing Tools::get_image_average_color() and the banner color, while keeping the geopattern route)? If you don't have time, I'd be happy to open a PR for that approach and include you in the props. (Also asked on https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8115.)
Generated geopattern icons for plugins without an icon were colored from
the average color of the plugin's banner, which needed the deprecated
Jetpack Tonesque library and a banner download on every import. Few
generated icons used it, so remove the banner color and let GeoPattern
derive the color from the slug.
- Remove Tools::get_image_average_color().
- Stop fetching the banner on import, and delete the stored
assets_banners_color meta so it clears out on the next import.
- Stop reading the meta in Template::get_geopattern_icon_url() and remove
its unused $color parameter.
- Remove the assets_banners_color meta registration and upload default.
The geopattern-icon/<slug>_<color>.svg rewrite rule and route stay, since
cached API responses still point at those URLs.

@obenland Reworked as you described, in affbf5d. All five points are covered, and the rewrite rule and route are unchanged. The PR description has the details.
@Deepak-Bhojwani Thanks for checking in and for the offer. It's ready for review now.
…every import
The stored color is dead data now, so deleting it on each import keeps a
call in the import path forever and never reaches plugins that are not
re-imported. Remove it once at deploy instead:
wp eval 'delete_post_meta_by_key( "assets_banners_color" );'
Also return the geopattern icon URL directly; the "cached resource"
comment explained the color cache buster, which is gone.
