### Terms Import/Export

The first Manage Terms tab can import or export terms for any public taxonomy and
post type selected in the screen filter. Exports include unused terms and use
UTF-8 CSV with `slug,name,description,post_ids`. Hierarchical taxonomies add a
`parent_slug` column so category relationships are retained. `post_ids` contains
pipe-delimited content IDs.
Term metadata, post content, and new posts are not transferred.

Back up the destination database first. The same post IDs must identify the same
intended posts on both sites; the tool cannot verify migration identity. Imports
add associations without replacing unrelated terms. Existing term names,
descriptions, and parents are updated by default. Missing or unsupported content
assignments are skipped without blocking valid terms and assignments. Results
report readable assignment and affected-content counts without listing raw IDs.
Malformed IDs and permission denials are never skipped. Validation precedes writes, but runtime failures may leave
partial results; there is no transaction or automatic rollback.

Import limits: 5 MiB, 5,000 terms, and 25,000 associations per file, including
skipped targets. Name/slug limits are 200 bytes each; descriptions 10,000 bytes.
Export is uncapped; split large CSV files with a CSV-aware tool and retain headers.
Preserve the original CSV to retain Unicode, multiline descriptions, backslashes,
and reversible spreadsheet-formula escaping.

The Manage Terms feature must be enabled. Transfer requires `simple_tags` and
the selected taxonomy's management capability; import also requires its editing
capability. Associations require assignment permission and permission to edit
every compatible content item. Export checks permission to read every associated
content item before delivering any attachment. Results appear as dismissible
page-level notices, scoped to the current user/site, and expire after five minutes.
