fix(phpcs): remove strict_types declaration that breaks file header order

PSR12.Files.FileHeader.IncorrectOrder requires the docblock immediately
after the opening PHP tag. The declare(strict_types=1) was inserted
between them.

+# Peptide News Aggregator - Architecture
+
+> **Cross-app context:** decisions that affect multiple plugins (Cloudflare AI Gateway routing, OpenRouter account sharing, the interface pattern, image-generation stack, social distributor choice) are recorded in `Peptide Repo CTO/docs/engineering/decisions/`. The incident runbook for cross-app failure modes is at `Peptide Repo CTO/docs/engineering/INCIDENT-RUNBOOK.md`. Read both before making decisions that cross plugin boundaries.
+
+**Version:** 2.4.0
+**Last updated:** April 2026
+
+## What it does
+
+Peptide News Aggregator is a WordPress plugin that fetches peptide research news from RSS feeds and NewsAPI, optionally enriches articles with LLM-generated keywords and summaries via OpenRouter, filters out promotional/press-release content, and presents the feed through a React-powered shortcode with click analytics and trend reporting.

+## Custom database tables
+
+| Table | Schema | Written by | Purpose |
+|-------|--------|-----------|---------|
+| `wp_peptide_news_articles` | id, source, source_url, title, excerpt, content, author, thumbnail_url, thumbnail_local, published_at, fetched_at, categories, tags, language, sentiment_score, ai_summary, hash (UNIQUE), is_active | Fetcher, LLM | Stores fetched articles with SHA-256 dedup hash |
+| `wp_peptide_news_clicks` | id, article_id (FK), clicked_at, user_ip, user_agent, referrer_url, page_url, session_id, user_id, country, device_type | Analytics | Granular click events per article |
+| `wp_peptide_news_daily_stats` | id, article_id (FK), stat_date, click_count, unique_visitors | Analytics | Aggregated daily metrics for fast trend queries |
+| `wp_peptide_news_llm_costs` | id, request_id, model, provider, operation, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, cost_usd, article_id, created_at | Cost_Tracker | Per-API-call cost log with token counts and USD cost |
+| `wp_peptide_news_log` | id, level, context, message, created_at | Logger | Structured application log (auto-pruned at 2000 rows) |
+
+Schema version tracked via `peptide_news_db_version` option. Migrations run via `dbDelta()` on activation and on `plugins_loaded` when version mismatch detected.
+
+## External API integrations
+
+| Service | Purpose | Integration code | Auth |
+|---------|---------|-----------------|------|
+| NewsAPI.org | Fetch news articles by keyword | `Fetcher::fetch_newsapi()` | API key (encrypted in wp_options) |
+| OpenRouter | LLM inference (keywords, summaries, content classification) | `LLM::call_openrouter()` | API key (encrypted in wp_options) |
+
+Both keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC via `Peptide_News_Encryption` (since v2.3.0). Legacy plaintext keys are decrypted transparently during the migration period.
+
+## Key architectural decisions
+
+**Transient-based fetch lock instead of database mutex.** The fetcher uses a 5-minute transient lock to prevent overlapping cron runs. This is simpler than a DB-level `INSERT IGNORE` mutex and sufficient for the plugin's write volume. The lock is released on completion or expires after 5 minutes as a safety net.
+
+**Two-tier content filter.** Rule-based keyword/domain matching handles obvious spam cheaply. Only borderline cases (1 body keyword match, below threshold) are sent to the LLM for classification. This keeps API costs near zero for most filter operations.
+
+**React frontend on WP-bundled React.** The feed component uses WordPress's bundled React to avoid shipping a duplicate. This ties us to WP's React version but avoids bloating the plugin.
+
+**CSV export capped at 50,000 rows.** The `export_clicks_csv()` method applies a SQL LIMIT to prevent memory exhaustion on high-traffic sites. The cap is defined as a class constant (`CSV_EXPORT_MAX_ROWS`) for easy adjustment.
+
+**API keys encrypted at rest.** All API keys stored in wp_options are encrypted using AES-256-CBC with `wp_salt('auth')` as key material. The encryption class handles legacy plaintext values transparently, so existing installations upgrade without manual re-entry.
+
+**Cascading foreign keys.** The clicks and daily_stats tables have ON DELETE CASCADE foreign keys referencing the articles table, so deleting an article automatically cleans up its analytics data.
+
+**LLM cost tracking in a dedicated table.** API call costs are logged to `wp_peptide_news_llm_costs` rather than post_meta because cost data is high-volume write data (2 rows per article processed) that needs date-range aggregation queries. The table is indexed on `created_at` and `model` for fast dashboard reporting.
+
+**Budget enforcement with hard-stop mode.** The cost tracker checks `is_budget_exceeded()` before every LLM API call. In `hard_stop` mode, calls are blocked when monthly spend meets the configured limit — this prevents silent overspending. Budget alerts fire at 50%, 80%, and 100% thresholds (once per month per threshold). The monthly spend is cached in a 5-minute transient to avoid excessive DB queries during batch processing.
+
+**OpenRouter usage data extraction.** Token counts and costs are extracted from the OpenRouter API response body (`data.usage` field) rather than response headers, because the response body is more reliable and includes model-specific token counts. If the API reports an explicit cost, that takes precedence over our calculated estimate.

+# Peptide News Aggregator - Conventions
+
+Project-specific patterns and step-by-step extension guides.
+
+## Naming conventions
+
+**Classes:** `Peptide_News_{Name}` (WordPress standard, one class per file).
+**Files:** `class-peptide-news-{name}.php` in `includes/`, `admin/`, or `public/`.
+**Options:** All prefixed `peptide_news_` (e.g., `peptide_news_fetch_interval`).
+**Transients:** Prefixed `peptide_news_` (e.g., `peptide_news_fetch_lock`).
+**Database tables:** `{$wpdb->prefix}peptide_news_{name}` (e.g., `wp_peptide_news_articles`).
+**Hooks:** Custom actions/filters prefixed `peptide_news_` (e.g., `peptide_news_cron_fetch`).
+**CSS classes:** `.pn-*` namespace to avoid collisions with theme and other plugins.
+**Constants:** `PEPTIDE_NEWS_*` (e.g., `PEPTIDE_NEWS_VERSION`, `PEPTIDE_NEWS_PLUGIN_DIR`).
+
+## Hook registration pattern
+
+All hooks are registered centrally in `class-peptide-news.php` via the Loader class. Never call `add_action()` or `add_filter()` directly in a module class. Instead, register in the appropriate `define_*_hooks()` method:
+
+```php
+// In class-peptide-news.php
+private function define_cron_hooks() {
+    $fetcher = new Peptide_News_Fetcher();
+    $this->loader->add_action( 'peptide_news_cron_fetch', $fetcher, 'fetch_all_sources' );
+}
+```
+
+## Error handling patterns
+
+**External API calls:** Always check `is_wp_error()` on `wp_remote_post()`/`wp_remote_get()` responses. Return `WP_Error` from methods that make API calls. Log errors via `Peptide_News_Logger`.
+
+**AJAX handlers:** Always verify nonce with `check_ajax_referer( 'peptide_news_admin', 'nonce' )` and check `current_user_can( 'manage_options' )` before any action. Return via `wp_send_json_success()` / `wp_send_json_error()`.
+
+**Fail-open for optional features:** If encryption is unavailable (no OpenSSL), store keys as plaintext. If LLM classification fails, let the article through (`'editorial'`). Never block core functionality due to optional feature failures.
+
+**Logging:** Use `Peptide_News_Logger` with appropriate levels and context tags. Available contexts: `fetch`, `llm`, `admin`, `cron`, `general`. The logger auto-prunes at 2000 rows.
+
+## How to add a new news source
+
+1. Add a new private method to `class-peptide-news-fetcher.php`:
+   ```php
+   private function fetch_new_source() {
+       // Return array of article arrays matching this structure:
+       // [ 'source' => 'SourceName', 'source_url' => '...', 'title' => '...', 
+       //   'excerpt' => '...', 'content' => '...', 'author' => '...', 
+       //   'thumbnail_url' => '', 'published_at' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s', 'categories' => '' ]
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Call the method from `fetch_all_sources()`, gated by an option:
+   ```php
+   if ( get_option( 'peptide_news_new_source_enabled', 0 ) ) {
+       $articles = array_merge( $articles, $this->fetch_new_source() );
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Add the setting to `class-peptide-news-admin.php` in `get_sanitize_callback()`.
+4. Add a field renderer method and register it in `register_settings()`.
+5. Update `ARCHITECTURE.md` with the new source in the data flow diagram.
+
+## How to add a new admin setting
+
+1. In `class-peptide-news-admin.php`:
+   - Add the sanitize callback in `get_sanitize_callback()`.
+   - Add a `render_{setting_name}_field()` method.
+   - Register the field in `register_settings()` using `$this->register_field()`.
+
+2. In `class-peptide-news-activator.php`:
+   - Add a default value in the `$defaults` array in `set_default_options()`.
+
+3. The option is automatically registered with the Settings API and will appear in the admin UI.
+
+## How to add a new LLM provider
+
+The plugin currently talks to OpenRouter, which proxies to multiple LLM providers. To add a direct provider:
+
+1. Create `includes/class-peptide-news-{provider}.php` implementing the same interface as `LLM::call_openrouter()`: takes `(string $api_key, string $model, string $prompt)` and returns `string|WP_Error`.
+
+2. Add a provider selection setting to the admin page.
+
+3. Update `LLM::process_article()` to dispatch to the selected provider.
+
+4. Encrypt the new provider's API key using `Peptide_News_Encryption::encrypt()` on save.
+
+## How to add a new REST API endpoint
+
+1. In `class-peptide-news-rest-api.php`:
+   - Add the route in `register_routes()`.
+   - Add the callback method.
+   - Use `check_admin_permissions` for admin-only endpoints.
+   - Use `'permission_callback' => '__return_true'` for public endpoints.
+
+2. For analytics endpoints, use the shared `get_date_range_args()` for consistent parameter handling.
+
+## How to add cost tracking for a new LLM operation
+
+1. In the method that calls the LLM API, use `call_openrouter_with_usage()` instead of `call_openrouter()`:
+   ```php
+   $response = self::call_openrouter_with_usage( $api_key, $model, $prompt );
+   ```
+
+2. After the API call, log the cost via `Peptide_News_Cost_Tracker::log_api_call()`:
+   ```php
+   if ( class_exists( 'Peptide_News_Cost_Tracker' ) && ! empty( $response['usage'] ) ) {
+       Peptide_News_Cost_Tracker::log_api_call(
+           $model,
+           'your_operation_name', // e.g., 'keywords', 'summary', 'filter'
+           $response['usage'],
+           $article_id,
+           $response['request_id'] ?? '',
+           $response['cost'] ?? 0.0
+       );
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Before the API call, check the budget gate:
+   ```php
+   if ( class_exists( 'Peptide_News_Cost_Tracker' ) && Peptide_News_Cost_Tracker::is_budget_exceeded() ) {
+       // Skip the call, log a warning, return early
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. If the model isn't in `DEFAULT_MODEL_PRICING`, add it to the constant array in `class-peptide-news-cost-tracker.php`.
+
+## Security checklist for every change
+
+- Sanitize all input: `sanitize_text_field()`, `absint()`, `esc_url_raw()`.
+- Escape all output: `esc_html()`, `esc_attr()`, `esc_url()`, `wp_kses_post()`.
+- Nonce on every form/AJAX: `wp_nonce_field()` / `check_ajax_referer()`.
+- Capability check: `current_user_can( 'manage_options' )` on every admin action.
+- API keys: always encrypt via `Peptide_News_Encryption::encrypt()`, decrypt via `::decrypt()`.
+- Never expose API keys to the browser (all API calls are server-side only).
+
+## Database migration pattern
+
+- Schema changes go in `Peptide_News_Activator::create_tables()` using `dbDelta()`.
+- The `plugins_loaded` hook in the bootstrap file checks `peptide_news_db_version` against `PEPTIDE_NEWS_VERSION` and re-runs activation if outdated.
+- Always use `$wpdb->prepare()` for queries with dynamic values.
+- Use `// phpcs:ignore` comments for unavoidable PHPCS warnings on `$wpdb->query()` calls.
+
+## Type safety
+
+All PHP files use `declare(strict_types=1)`. All public and private methods have typed parameters and return types. This catches type errors at call time rather than at runtime and gives AI agents structural information for reasoning about code.
+
+## Git Workflow — PR-Gated, Soft-Enforced
+
+This repo is private on GitHub's free plan, which does not support branch protection or rulesets. The review gate is enforced at the agent layer, not server-side. Every agent and human contributor follows these rules; the `.github/workflows/main-push-audit.yml` tripwire opens an audit issue on any direct push to `main` that did not come from a merged PR.
+
+### Rules
+
+1. **Never push to `main` directly.** Every change lands via a pull request that the maintainer merges. No self-merging. No force-pushing to `main`.
+
+2. **Branch naming**: `claude/<scope>-<YYYYMMDD>` for agent-authored work, `fix/<scope>` or `feat/<scope>` for human-authored. The scope is a 1–3 word kebab-case description.
+
+3. **Commit trailer**: every commit authored by an agent must end with an `Agent-Session:` trailer so commits can be correlated back to the conversation that produced them, even though all commits share the `peptiderepo` bot identity.
+
+   ```
+   feat: add per-request cost tracking
+
+   Agent-Session: cowork-2026-04-14-cost-audit
+   ```
+
+4. **PR description template**: every PR description covers
+   - **What changed** (one paragraph)
+   - **Why** (motivation or incident link)
+   - **Risk flags** (schema changes, API contract changes, cost impact, compatibility)
+   - **Test plan** (what was run locally, what to smoke-test after merge)
+
+5. **Emergency push exception**: if a situation genuinely requires pushing to `main` without a PR (site down, CI broken, one-line hotfix), surface it in the chat before doing it. Every emergency push gets a follow-up PR that commits the same changes through the normal flow so git stays the source of truth. The tripwire will open an audit issue — close it with a comment explaining why.
+
+### Opening a PR from an agent session
+
+The `gh` CLI is not installed in the Cowork sandbox. Use `curl` with the PAT from the workspace `.env.credentials`:
+
+```bash
+GH_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_PAT=" "$WORKSPACE/.env.credentials" | cut -d= -f2)
+
+git push -u origin HEAD
+
+curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GH_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  "https://api.github.com/repos/peptiderepo/<repo>/pulls" \
+  -d "$(jq -cn --arg title "<title>" --arg head "<branch>" --arg body "<body>" \
+      '{title:$title, head:$head, base:"main", body:$body}')"
+```
+
+### When this changes
+
+If the peptiderepo GitHub account is ever upgraded to Pro (or the repo goes public), replace this soft-enforcement section with a note pointing to the real branch protection rules in repo settings.
