Remove unused wordpress-rs dependency from the stats widget

[jkmassel]

Removes a stray dependency that linked the entire wordpress-rs static library into the stats widget, which never used it.

Summary

• XcodeTarget_StatsWidget (the SPM product backing JetpackStatsWidgets.appex) declared .product(name: "WordPressAPI", package: "wordpress-rs"), but nothing in the widget references it.
• wordpress-rs ships as a static library (libwp_mobile.a), so it was copied into the widget binary as dead code — duplicating what the main app already carries.
• Dropping the one line removes ~26.6 MB of loaded code from the widget (arm64/Release).

Root Cause

The widget target imports only JetpackStatsWidgetsCore, WidgetKit, and Foundation. JetpackStatsWidgetsCore depends solely on BuildSettingsKit, and none of the widget's other declared dependencies (WordPressKit, WordPressShared, WordPressUI, TracksMini) pull in wordpress-rs. The WordPressAPI product was the sole path linking it in, and it was unreferenced — grepping the widget target and its core module for any WordPressAPI / uniffi / wp_api symbol returns nothing.

Dead code stripping doesn't cover this: DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING is already on for Release, but linking the WordPressAPI Swift module pins its metadata → the uniffi FFI thunks → the Rust archive, so the linker retains the whole thing even though the widget's own code never calls it. The fix is to not link it. The main app is wordpress-rs's only genuine consumer and is unchanged.

Impact

Measured on the arm64 device slice, Release configuration, JetpackStatsWidgets.appex:

Metric	Before	After	Delta
__TEXT (code)	32.96 MB	7.98 MB	−25.0 MB
__DATA_CONST + __DATA	2.60 MB	1.00 MB	−1.6 MB
Loaded code total	35.57 MB	8.98 MB	−26.6 MB
wordpress-rs / uniffi / WordPressAPI symbols	146,506	0	—

Figures are uncompressed — the App Store download delta will be smaller after compression, but the on-device install footprint drops by the full amount.

Test Plan

• JetpackStatsWidgets builds and links in Release (arm64) with the dependency removed
• Confirmed zero wordpress-rs / uniffi / WordPressAPI symbols remain in the widget binary
• Stats widgets still render and refresh on device (Small / Medium / Large)

1 Warning

⚠️

Modules/Package.swift was changed without updating its corresponding Package.resolved. If the change includes adding, removing, or editing a dependency please resolve the Swift packages as appropriate to your project setup (e.g. in Xcode or by running swift package resolve). If the change to the Package.swift did not modify dependencies, ignoring this warning should be safe, but we recommend double checking and running the package resolution just in case. .
