DuckDuckGo's HTML search endpoint now requires vqd session tokens,
making server-side search-based URL resolution unreliable. Simplified
the thumbnail pipeline:
- OG scrape only for non-aggregator URLs (direct publisher pages)
- AI image generation via OpenRouter for aggregator articles (Google News)
- Added Image Model settings field in admin UI
- Added thumbnail_local column for AI-generated images
- Updated public/admin display to check thumbnail_local as fallback
- Removed all DuckDuckGo search code (find_article_url_via_search,
extract_ddg_url, resolve_article_for_scraping)

Google News RSS stores encrypted article URLs that cannot be resolved
server-side (JS SPA, no HTTP redirects, encrypted base64 IDs). Replace
the failed decode/parse strategies with DuckDuckGo search-based lookup
using article title + publisher name to find actual article pages, then
scrape OG images from those pages.
- Add find_article_url_via_search() using DuckDuckGo HTML endpoint
- Add resolve_article_for_scraping() combining redirect + search fallback
- Mark failed lookups with '_no_image' sentinel to avoid repeated retries
- Backfill button resets sentinels to allow manual re-scraping
- Clean up verbose debug instrumentation from prior attempts
- Update frontend to handle '_no_image' sentinel gracefully

Addresses QA Agent 2 findings:
- Add :focus outline on title and thumbnail links for keyboard navigation
- Wrap excerpt paragraph in conditional to avoid empty <p> when both
ai_summary and excerpt are missing

Rewrites public CSS to match actual .pn-* class names from the PHP
template and changes the default shortcode layout from card/grid to a
horizontal list: fixed-width thumbnail on the left, title + summary on
the right. Includes compact variant for widgets and responsive
stacking on small screens.

The Peptide_News_Loader class was referenced by class-peptide-news.php
but never committed, causing a fatal error on plugin activation.
Also adds public/css/public-style.css which is enqueued by the public
class.
