Three fixes in one:
1. Duplicate image: prepend_caption_to_post() was embedding the full
image + caption as a <figure> block, but the theme already displays
the featured image. Now only the caption text is prepended — no
second copy of the image.
2. Hardcoded model names: removed all FLUX.1/FLUX.2 references from
model-agnostic code (pipeline, prompt builder, sideloader, OpenRouter
provider, interface, admin labels). The Cloudflare provider still
references FLUX since it specifically wraps that model family.
3. Test alignment: OpenRouterImagePricingTest was asserting against
removed models (flux-2-pro, seedream). Updated to match current
COST_PER_IMAGE entries (Gemini Flash, GPT-5 Image).

Captions were being baked into the image by the FLUX model, causing
text to get cut off at the edges. Now the LLM generates scene and
caption separately — the scene drives image gen (with explicit
"no text in the image" instruction), and the caption is inserted
as a styled <figure>/<figcaption> HTML block at the top of the post.
Changes:
- rewrite_via_llm() returns array{scene, caption} instead of string
- build_article_prompt() and build_source_prompt() return {prompt, caption}
- Style suffix v4: removes "caption text" instruction, adds "no text" directive
- Image pipeline destructures prompt/caption, stores caption in attachment meta
- prepend_caption_to_post() inserts figure+figcaption HTML into post content
- Deduplicated generate_image_a/b into shared generate_single_image()
- One-time v4 migration auto-updates existing style suffix on deploy

Replace photography-style prompts with a comedy writer system prompt
that generates Far Side-style single-panel comic concepts with punchy
captions. The LLM rewriter now outputs a comic scene + caption line,
and the style suffix renders as classic black-ink newspaper comic on
yellowed newsprint.
Includes v3 style migration to auto-replace both the old infomercial
and the short-lived photography style in wp_options. Bumped max_tokens
to 180 to accommodate scene + caption output.

Two fixes:
1. Image attachment: moved set_post_thumbnail() and Image B post meta
into generate_and_attach_images() so they persist immediately after
each image generates. Previously the caller set them after both images
completed — if the process timed out (common with GPT-5 Image at
~30s/image), the featured image was never attached and Image B was
never attempted.
2. Image prompts: replaced FLUX.1-optimized rewriter system prompt and
90s infomercial style suffix with prompts optimized for Gemini Flash
Image and GPT-5 Image. New style: premium scientific lifestyle
photography with golds/teals color grading. Includes one-time migration
to update stored style suffix.
Also logs when Image B is skipped due to missing source data (previously
silent), helping diagnose why some posts only get one image.

PHP 8.3 TypeError and Error extend \Throwable but NOT \Exception,
so catch(\Exception) silently drops them — explaining why the
generation pipeline fails at the publishing step with no activity
log entry. Now every catch in the generation path catches
\Throwable and logs the exception class name for diagnostics.
Bump to v0.2.7.

Replaces the rule-based prompt builder with a cheap LLM call
(analysis model via OpenRouter) that distills article content into
concise visual scene descriptions. The old rule-based method becomes
the fallback if the LLM call fails.
Key design decisions:
- System prompt teaches the LLM to describe objects/setting/lighting
instead of abstract concepts, and to avoid faces (FLUX.1 weakness)
- Uses the analysis model (gemini-2.5-flash-lite) at ~$0.001/call
- Cost is logged to the analytics dashboard via log_api_call()
- Style suffix is still appended separately so the rewriter only
handles scene composition
Cost impact: +~$0.001 per image on top of ~$0.0008 generation cost.

Completes the image + A/B experiment workstream by integrating
image generation into the post publishing pipeline.
New classes:
- class-image-pipeline.php: Orchestrates A/B generation (article-driven
Image A → featured; source-driven Image B → post meta). Each image
independently fallible; article publishes even if both fail.
- class-image-prompt-builder.php: Synthesizes visual prompts from article
title+content and Reddit source data. Appends CEO-locked 90s infomercial
style suffix. Keeps prompts concise for FLUX.1 quality.
- class-image-media-sideloader.php: Downloads image bytes, creates temp
file, sideloads via media_handle_sideload(), sets alt text and metadata,
cleans up temp files.
Changes to existing files:
- Publisher.attach_generated_images(): Runs image pipeline post-creation,
sets _thumbnail_id (Image A) and _prautoblogger_image_b_id (Image B).
Errors logged but don't block post publication.
- Settings: prautoblogger_image_enabled (toggle, default off).
Tests:
- ImagePipelineTest.php: Orchestration, cost tracking, graceful failures.
- ImagePromptBuilderTest.php: Prompt generation, length limits.
Docs:
- ARCHITECTURE.md: New step 6b in data flow, new files in file tree.
- CHANGELOG.md: Commit 1a/1b breakdown.
