Two new textareas in Content settings let admins provide custom
instructions for the analysis and chief editor LLM stages, matching
the Writing Instructions field added in v0.4.4. All three pipeline
stages now have user-controllable system prompt customization.

New textarea in Content settings lets admins provide custom instructions
appended to the writer's system prompt. Steers style, structure, voice,
and formatting without editing code.

Models like GPT 5.1 Nano ignore response_format: json_object and wrap
their JSON in ```json fences or add preamble text. New Json_Extractor
utility tries: (1) direct decode, (2) strip markdown fences, (3) find
outermost { ... } substring. Applied to analyzer and chief editor
parsers. Raw response logged on parse failure for debugging.

Title column was compressed to ~30px making post titles unreadable.
Give title 35% min-width with word-wrap, trim model columns to 100px
with text-overflow ellipsis, cost column to 55px.

v0.4.1 — Three new columns on the WordPress Posts admin page showing
which LLM wrote each article, which model generated its featured image,
and the total API cost. Model names shortened for compact display with
full ID in tooltip. Cost queries the generation_log table, skipping
the DB hit entirely for non-generated posts.

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

Hostinger's LiteSpeed web server kills any HTTP connection that runs
longer than 120 seconds with a 500 "Request Timeout" error. The full
pipeline (Reddit fetch → topic scoring → article generation → editorial
pass → image gen ×2) takes 120-180s, causing "Request failed: error"
on every manual generation attempt.
Architecture change:
- Generate Now AJAX handler now schedules a one-shot WP-Cron event
and returns immediately (~100ms response time)
- New prautoblogger_manual_generation cron action runs the pipeline
in a separate PHP process free from the connection timeout
- Pipeline progress is written to a transient at each stage
- New prautoblogger_generation_status AJAX endpoint lets the frontend
poll progress every 5 seconds
- Frontend auto-resumes polling on page load if a generation is running
- Direct wp-cron.php loopback ensures cron fires even if DISABLE_WP_CRON
is set (common on Hostinger)
Version bump: 0.2.9 → 0.3.0

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.

Three issues found in activity logs:
1. Image model IDs stale — FLUX and Seedream removed from OpenRouter.
Updated to current models: Gemini 2.5/3.1 Flash Image, Gemini 3 Pro
Image, GPT-5 Image/Mini. Default changed to gemini-2.5-flash-image.
2. openrouter/free router wraps upstream 429 errors in HTTP 200 body
with error object. Both text and image response parsers now detect
this pattern and surface a proper RuntimeException.
3. Image request used modalities: ["image"] but Gemini needs
["image", "text"]. Updated to include both.

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.

The _wp_http_referer hidden field didn't include the tab parameter, so
WordPress redirected to the default (API Keys) tab after every save.
Now the JS syncs the referer with the active tab on both tab switch and
page load. Bumped to v0.2.6 to bust JS cache.

The field renderer still checked for the old 'cloudflare_image' capability
but the setting was changed to 'image_generation'. Updated to resolve
model name/price from the shared get_image_models() list. Bumped to
v0.2.5 to bust browser JS/CSS cache.

Replaces Cloudflare Workers AI (FLUX.1 schnell) as the default image
provider with OpenRouter, which offers FLUX.2 Pro, Seedream 3.0,
Gemini Flash Image, and GPT Image 1 at comparable or better pricing.
- New provider class (3-file split: provider, pricing, support) reuses
the existing OpenRouter API key and Cloudflare AI Gateway
- Admin settings: new Image Provider dropdown (openrouter/cloudflare),
model picker shows all available image models from both providers
- Image pipeline auto-selects the configured provider at construction
- Cost logging now uses actual model name instead of hardcoded flux-1-schnell
- Default model changed to black-forest-labs/flux-2-pro ($0.03/image)
- Unit tests for pricing resolution and provider response parsing
Cost impact: FLUX.2 Pro at $0.03/image vs schnell at $0.0007/image —
~43x more expensive per image, but dramatically better quality. At 2
images/article × 1 article/day = ~$1.80/month. Seedream 3.0 ($0.003)
available as a budget alternative.

The image model popup shows 0 models because LiteSpeed/browser cache
serves the old model-picker.js (pre-cloudflare_image support) since
the version query string didn't change between commits.

Implements image-provider interface + Cloudflare Workers AI adapter with pricing and validator. Independent QA verdict: APPROVE on 52fd11e (qa-reviews/prautoblogger/2026-04-15-52fd11e2ce97dd9e659df5cc87ec1382a668bec1.md). All 4 CTO blockers resolved (PHPUnit retry mocks, XSS hardening on error strings, PHPCS on new files, 300-line cap via support-class extraction). PHPCS backlog (586 errors across 38 pre-existing files) remains on continue-on-error; Workstream C material.
The previous deploy served stale admin.js from browser cache because
the version string (used as cache-buster query param) was unchanged.

Address CTO audit findings for PRAutoBlogger:
- CI pipeline now runs PHPCS (WordPress standards) and PHPUnit before deploy
- Removed TikTok/Instagram/YouTube stub providers (dead code, not registered)
- Rewrote PublisherTest with real behavioral assertions (post_status, metadata,
taxonomy, log linking, hooks) instead of method-existence checks
- Added cross-system LLM budget coordination docs to ARCHITECTURE.md
- Bumped version to 0.2.2

PullPush.io index was frequently stale/unavailable. Reddit RSS/Atom feeds
work reliably from datacenter IPs (Hostinger) where .json gets 403.
- RSS is now the primary source for post fetching
- .json endpoints kept as fallback for posts and sole source for comments
- Deleted class-pull-push-client.php
- Updated admin UI, test connection handler, docs, and ARCHITECTURE.md
