Problem

Ordo needs a single entry-point plugin file that WordPress recognizes, with a namespaced PSR-4 autoloader for the plugin's own classes and a hard floor on the supported PHP version. Everything else in v0.1.0 hangs off this bootstrap.

Acceptance criteria

A main plugin file declares a valid WordPress plugin header (Name, Version, License GPL-2.0-or-later, Text Domain, Requires PHP 7.4).
A Composer/PSR-4 autoloader loads the plugin's own namespace without touching global scope.
Activation aborts with an admin notice when PHP is below 7.4 instead of fatal-erroring.
The plugin activates and deactivates with no PHP notices or warnings on a clean WP install.

Notes

Version string is the single source of truth read from the plugin header, not duplicated in code.

Done in #105. Plugin header with GPL-2.0-or-later + Requires PHP 7.4; version read from the header via get_file_data (single source of truth); self-contained PSR-4 autoloader (src/Autoloader.php); activation aborts with an admin notice below PHP 7.4 instead of fatal-erroring; activates/deactivates with no notices.
