Introduces Peptide_News_Logger class with leveled logging (info, warning,
error, debug) to a custom DB table, auto-pruning at 2000 rows. Adds a
filterable, paginated log viewer to the admin settings page. Instruments
the LLM and Fetcher classes with structured log calls for fetch cycles,
AI processing, and error tracking. Version bumped to 2.1.0.

Add 3s delay between successful batches and 10s retry delay with
up to 3 retries when rate-limited. Prevents exhausting free-tier
rate limits (20 req/min) on OpenRouter.

Surface actual API error messages in the admin UI instead of just
showing a generic failure count. This helps diagnose issues with
the OpenRouter API configuration.

Adds a "Generate AI Summaries" button to the Peptide News settings page
that processes all articles missing summaries in batches of 50. The UI
loops automatically until every article has been summarized, showing
real-time progress. The admin batch overrides the per-cycle limit so it
isn't capped at 10 — the existing 120-second timeout guard still applies.

Remove all AI thumbnail generation infrastructure (too expensive,
poor results) and rewrite the public-facing article feed as a React
SPA mounted via WordPress shortcode.
Changes:
- Remove thumbnail generation, OG scraping, and image download code
from fetcher, LLM, and admin classes
- Replace server-rendered PHP templates with React component
(PeptideNewsFeed.jsx) using WordPress-bundled React/ReactDOM
- Add Babel build pipeline for JSX transpilation
- Update REST API to serve ai_summary instead of thumbnail fields
- Redesign public CSS: clean card layout, loading skeletons,
dark mode, responsive, no thumbnail imagery
- Remove dead admin settings (llm_image_model, thumbnail_fallback)
- Fix call_openrouter() visibility for Content Filter cross-class use
- Bump version to 1.3.0

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

Temporary debug version that returns query counts, URL resolution results,
and OG scraping outcomes to identify why thumbnail scraping returns 0.
Also adds Google News URL decoder (base64/protobuf approach).

The OG image scraper was using Google News redirect URLs (source_url) directly,
which don't serve og:image tags. Added resolve_scrape_url() to follow redirects
(including meta-refresh and JS redirects) to reach the actual publisher page
before scraping. Also added a backfill AJAX endpoint and admin button to
re-scrape thumbnails for existing articles.

Google News RSS feeds report every article as coming from
"news.google.com" because the source was extracted from the feed URL
rather than the individual article. This adds a multi-strategy
resolver that extracts the real publisher name via:
1. SimplePie <source> element (Google News provides this)
2. Title suffix parsing ("Headline - Source" format)
3. HTTP HEAD redirect resolution as a fallback
Also adds a one-click "Fix Article Sources" backfill button on the
settings page to correct existing articles in the database.

Two-tier filtering during article fetch: keyword/pattern rules as a fast
first pass, then optional LLM classification for borderline cases via
OpenRouter. Configurable sensitivity (strict/moderate/lenient), editable
keyword lists, blocked domain list, and admin stats display. Includes
30 unit tests covering domain blocking, title/body keywords, URL paths,
edge cases, and prompt structure.
