Research direction

Start by locating the Jetpack Dependency script and reviewing issue #28 for the related investigation. Trace how requirements are determined for a child theme and its parent, then verify that the child-theme message reflects the combined Jetpack functionality required by both.

Description

enhancement jetpack-dependency

This came up while investigating a recent issue (#28): it would be great if the Jetpack Dependancy script could 'figure out' what's required from both the parent and child theme, to be displayed in the message on the child theme.

It looks like the only parent/child theme pair Automattic has that has different Jetpack functionality is Superhero/Sidekick, but that could change down the road. This could help make the message more accurate in those cases.
