+# 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.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to Peptide News Plugin are documented here.
+Format: [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
+Versioning: [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
+
+## [2.5.1] - 2026-06-17
+
+### Fixed
+- PHP 8.3 `TypeError` on Articles admin page: `number_format()` rejects the numeric string returned by `$wpdb->get_var()`. Cast `$total` to `(int)` at point of assignment in `admin/partials/articles-list.php` (#32).
+- PHP 8.3 `TypeError` on Analytics Dashboard page: `number_format()` rejects SUM aggregate strings returned by `$wpdb->get_results()`. Cast `$article->total_clicks` and `$article->total_unique` to `(int)` inline in `admin/partials/dashboard.php` (same-class fix, no PR number — follow-on to #32).
+
+## [2.5.0] — 2026-06-16
+
+### Changed
+- **CI standardization (estate wave 2):** Replace per-repo CI jobs in
+  `ci.yml` with a thin caller of `peptiderepo/peptide-e2e/.github/workflows/ci.yml@main`
+  (`tests: stubs`, `has_js: true`). Adds `workflow_call` trigger so `deploy.yml`
+  gate remains valid.
+- Extract `security-audit` job from `ci.yml` into standalone
+  `.github/workflows/security-audit.yml` (kept as-is, unique to this repo).
+- `deploy.yml`: elevate permissions to `contents: write` so the nested
+  phpcbf commit-back step in the reusable workflow receives the correct token scope.
+- `composer.json`: pin `test` script to `vendor/bin/phpunit --configuration phpunit.xml.dist`
+  for explicit path resolution in CI; pin `lint` / `lint:fix` to `vendor/bin/`.
+- `phpunit.xml.dist`: add XSD reference for PHPUnit 9.6; drop deprecated
+  `convertErrorsToExceptions`, `convertNoticesToExceptions`, `convertWarningsToExceptions`
+  attributes.
+
+### Notes
+- `rollback.yml` and `cto-review.yml` and `main-push-audit.yml` unchanged — unique / estate-separate.
+- No functional code changes in this commit.

+# 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.

+# Peptide News Aggregator v2.6.0 — Complete Implementation & Deployment Plan
+
+**Target Architecture:**
+- **Shared Hosting Server**: Prepaid WordPress hosting (MySQL Database `wp_peptide_news_articles`, public WordPress frontend, Admin UI).
+- **Hostinger KVM8 VPS (Coolify)**: Dedicated VPS running Coolify to execute the standalone worker (`tools/vps-worker/`) for heavy 3-step OpenRouter LLM processing, PubMed XML extraction, and Google News URL redirect unwrapping.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Current Codebase Status (100% Implemented & Verified)
+All v2.6.0 features and adversarial security hardenings have been implemented in `c:\Users\terence\Projects\peptidenews`:
+- **89/89 PHPUnit tests passing** (`vendor/bin/phpunit`).
+- **REST API Worker Routes (`/wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/*`)**: Authenticated via `X-Peptide-News-Token` (with timing-safe comparison and automatic token decryption).
+- **Standalone Coolify Worker (`tools/vps-worker/`)**: Complete with `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, and `worker.php` supporting both CLI arguments and Coolify environment variables (`WP_URL`, `VPS_TOKEN`, `OPENROUTER_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_MODEL`, `WORKER_ACTION`, `BATCH_SIZE`).
+- **3-Step AI Pipeline**:
+  - **Step 1 (Gatekeeper)**: Assigns scientific rigor score (1–10) and classifies study type. Rejects low-quality/promotional spam (`score < 3` or `is_spam = true`) by setting `'is_active' => 0`.
+  - **Step 2 (Extraction)**: Extracts target peptides, mechanism, experimental model, and keywords, saving checkpoint to `ai_metadata`.
+  - **Step 3 (Generation)**: Creates a 300–500 word structured Markdown summary (`## Executive Summary`, `## Scientific Context & Mechanism`, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Instructions for the Agent: Step-by-Step Execution
+
+### Step 1: Package as an Installable WordPress Plugin ZIP
+Before deploying to WordPress, create a clean, installable ZIP archive (`peptidenews-v2.6.0.zip`) that can be uploaded directly via **WordPress Admin -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin**:
+1. From the parent directory of `peptidenews`, generate a clean zip archive containing the `peptidenews/` root folder while excluding development, test, and git files:
+   ```bash
+   # Linux / macOS / Bash:
+   zip -r peptidenews-v2.6.0.zip peptidenews/ \
+       -x "peptidenews/.git/*" \
+       -x "peptidenews/tests/*" \
+       -x "peptidenews/phpunit.xml*" \
+       -x "peptidenews/.phpunit*" \
+       -x "peptidenews/scratch/*" \
+       -x "peptidenews/*.md"
+   ```
+   *(On Windows PowerShell, use `Compress-Archive -Path .\peptidenews -DestinationPath .\peptidenews-v2.6.0.zip` after excluding `tests` and `.git`).*
+2. **Verify ZIP Archive Structure**: Ensure `peptidenews/peptide-news-plugin.php` is located at the top level inside the zip archive so WordPress correctly recognizes it as a valid plugin.
+
+### Step 2: Deploy & Configure WordPress on Shared Hosting
+1. Upload and install `peptidenews-v2.6.0.zip` via WordPress Admin or extract it into `/wp-content/plugins/peptidenews/` on the shared WordPress server.
+2. In WordPress Admin -> **Settings -> Peptide News**:
+   - Under **NCBI API Key**, enter an NCBI API key (optional, increases PubMed rate limit to 10 req/sec).
+   - Under **VPS Worker Integration**, enter a strong secret token (e.g., `coolify_secret_token_2026`) and save.
+3. Verify the REST API endpoint responds correctly. **The token MUST be sent as a query parameter for GET requests** — the shared host's LiteSpeed caches REST responses per-URI and ignores `X-LiteSpeed-Cache-Control: no-cache`, so header-only auth on GET would let a cached authenticated response leak to unauthenticated requests:
+   ```bash
+   curl -i "https://your-wordpress-site.com/wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/pending?limit=5&token=coolify_secret_token_2026"
+   ```
+   POST routes (`/worker/update`, `/worker/ingest`) are never cached and accept the `X-Peptide-News-Token` header (or query `token`).
+
+### Step 3: Deploy Worker Application to Coolify (Hostinger KVM8 VPS)
+Use the Coolify UI or Coolify MCP to create and configure the standalone worker:
+1. **Create Application in Coolify**:
+   - Add a new **Application** and point it to the repository (or upload `tools/vps-worker/`).
+   - Set **Build Pack** to `Dockerfile` with path `tools/vps-worker/Dockerfile`.
+2. **Configure Environment Variables in Coolify**:
+   ```env
+   WP_URL=https://your-wordpress-site.com
+   VPS_TOKEN=coolify_secret_token_2026
+   WORKER_ACTION=process-llm
+   OPENROUTER_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-openrouter-api-key
+   OPENROUTER_MODEL=google/gemini-2.0-flash-001
+   BATCH_SIZE=25
+   ```
+3. **Configure Scheduled Task (Coolify Cron)**:
+   - Under **Scheduled Tasks** / Cron Jobs for the application, create a new schedule:
+     - **Cron Expression**: `0 * * * *` *(runs hourly)*
+     - **Command**: `php /app/worker.php`
+   - Click **Deploy** to build and launch the Alpine PHP container.
+4. **IMPORTANT — keep the container alive**: the Dockerfile `CMD` runs the worker once and exits, and Coolify's scheduled tasks execute via `docker exec` (which fails while a container is restarting). Coolify ignores `start_command` for `dockerfile` build packs, so set **Custom Docker Run Options** to `--entrypoint "tail -f /dev/null"`. This is a Coolify-side setting (not in the repo), so re-apply it if the application resource is ever recreated. The scheduled task remains the only worker driver.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Automated Verification Checklist for the Agent
+1. **Verify Plugin ZIP Installation**: Confirm `peptidenews-v2.6.0.zip` installs and activates cleanly in WordPress Admin without warnings or missing dependencies.
+2. **Run Unit Tests Locally**: Execute `vendor/bin/phpunit` and confirm `OK (89 tests, 231 assertions)`.
+3. **Test One-Off Execution in Coolify**:
+   - Trigger the Coolify scheduled job or run `php /app/worker.php --action="pending"` inside the container.
+   - Confirm it connects to WordPress without HTTP 403 or 500 errors.
+4. **Check Gatekeeper Database State**:
+   - Confirm in WordPress Admin that legitimate scientific articles (`rigor_score >= 3`) receive structured Markdown summaries and tags.
+   - Confirm that rejected promotional spam (`rigor_score < 3` or `is_spam`) is automatically updated with `'is_active' => 0` and excluded from frontend widgets.

+# Peptide News Aggregator — Hybrid Shared Hosting + Coolify VPS Architecture
+
+This directory contains the **v2.6.0 Standalone VPS Worker**, designed for high-signal peptide news pipelines where WordPress is hosted on a **shared server (e.g., prepaid shared hosting)** and heavy AI/scraping processes are offloaded to a **dedicated Linux VPS running Coolify** (e.g., Hostinger KVM8).
+
+---
+
+## Why Use a Hybrid Architecture?
+
+### 1. Shared Hosting Server (WordPress + Database)
+- **Strengths**: Serves public visitors, runs WordPress admin UI, stores `wp_peptide_news_articles`, and handles lightweight web WP-Cron tasks.
+- **Limitations**:
+  - PHP execution timeouts (60-second CGI limit).
+  - Shared IP addresses may be rate-limited or blocked by Google News or NCBI/PubMed.
+
+### 2. Dedicated VPS Worker (Coolify Container / Scheduled Task)
+- **Strengths**:
+  - Uncapped execution time for OpenRouter/Gemini 3-Step AI Pipeline calls.
+  - Dedicated VPS IP address for reliable PubMed E-utilities XML fetching and Google News redirect URL resolution.
+  - Zero load on your shared WordPress server's CPU or memory during AI article generation.
+  - Effortless management using **Coolify UI** or Coolify MCP.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+```
+[Shared Hosting: WordPress Server]
+  ├── Hosts wp_peptide_news_articles & Web Admin Dashboard
+  └── REST API (/wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/*)
+          ▲                      ▲
+          │ 1. GET /pending      │ 3. POST /update (ai_summary, rigor_score)
+          ▼                      │
+[Coolify Instance on VPS: peptide-news-worker]
+  ├── Runs via Coolify Scheduled Task / Docker Container
+  └── Calls OpenRouter / Gemini API (3-Step Pipeline: Gatekeeper -> Extract -> Markdown Brief)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deploying on Coolify (Step-by-Step)
+
+### Step 1: Set a Secret Token in WordPress
+1. Log into your shared WordPress site dashboard.
+2. Go to **Settings** -> **Peptide News**.
+3. Under **VPS Worker Integration**, enter a secret token (e.g. `vps_secret_token_12345`) and save.
+
+### Step 2: Deploy to Coolify as a Scheduled Task (Recommended)
+1. In your Coolify dashboard, click **+ Add Resource** -> **Application** -> select your Git repository (or use **Dockerfile** deployment).
+2. Set the **Build Pack** to `Dockerfile` (pointing to `tools/vps-worker/Dockerfile`).
+3. Under **Environment Variables**, configure:
+   - `WP_URL`: `https://your-shared-wordpress-site.com`
+   - `VPS_TOKEN`: `vps_secret_token_12345`
+   - `WORKER_ACTION`: `process-llm`
+   - `OPENROUTER_KEY`: `sk-or-v1-...`
+   - `OPENROUTER_MODEL`: `google/gemini-2.0-flash-001`
+   - `BATCH_SIZE`: `25`
+4. Under **Scheduled Tasks** (or Coolify Cron Jobs), create a new schedule:
+   - **Cron Expression**: `0 * * * *` (runs every hour)
+   - **Command**: `php /app/worker.php`
+5. Click **Deploy**. Coolify will build the lightweight Alpine PHP container and execute the job automatically on schedule.
+
+---
+
+## REST API Worker Endpoints
+
+All endpoints require either WordPress admin authentication OR a valid `X-Peptide-News-Token: <your-token>` header:
+
+- `GET /wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/pending?limit=20`  
+  Returns pending articles requiring AI analysis. The worker fetches this with the token also in the query string (`&token=...`) so the cached response is namespaced by the secret, which survives shared-host LiteSpeed caching that ignores `X-LiteSpeed-Cache-Control: no-cache`; the header is still sent alongside.
+- `POST /wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/update`  
+  Updates an article with completed AI summaries, tags, and scientific rigor scores.
+- `POST /wp-json/peptide-news/v1/worker/ingest`  
+  Bulk-ingests new articles scraped directly on the VPS into the WordPress database.
