The pipeline previously ran all articles sequentially in a single PHP
process. On Hostinger, this timed out at ~120s — enough for 1 article
but not 2+. Now the pipeline generates article 1 in-process, then
queues articles 2..N as individual WP-Cron events. Each article gets
its own PHP process with its own execution time budget, so we can
generate any number of articles regardless of server time limits.
Architecture:
- Pipeline_Runner: orchestrate (collect+analyze+score) + first article,
then serialize remaining ideas to wp_options and chain cron events
- Article_Worker (new): focused single-article worker extracted from
the pipeline loop — content gen + editorial + publish
- Executor: new on_process_article_queue() handler for chained events;
status poller re-schedules orphaned queue jobs automatically
- Article_Idea: added to_array() for queue serialization

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

Extract PRAutoBlogger_Generation_Lock (DB mutex) and
PRAutoBlogger_Ajax_Handlers (image/model/test AJAX) from the
482-line executor. Executor retains generation cron/AJAX + model
registry at 299 lines. Document background generation flow in
ARCHITECTURE.md.

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.

Replace plain text inputs for analysis/writing/editor model fields
with a rich model picker that fetches the OpenRouter model registry
and displays a searchable popup with model name, provider, input/output
pricing per 1M tokens, and context window. Also extracts source status
and model field renderers into dedicated field classes to keep
class-admin-page.php under the 300-line cap.
New files:
- assets/js/model-picker.js — popup UI with search, filtering, caching
- assets/css/model-picker.css — popup styles matching admin design system
- includes/admin/fields/class-open-router-model-field.php — server render
- includes/admin/fields/class-source-status-field.php — extracted field

Adds wp_ajax_prautoblogger_generate_image so images can be generated
for existing posts that were published before image gen was enabled
or fixed. Uses set_time_limit(120) to handle the Cloudflare API
latency that caused fatals when run via Code Snippets init hook.

Cron handlers (daily generation, metrics collection), AJAX handlers
(generate now, test connection), atomic generation lock, and model
registry access moved to PRAutoBlogger_Executor. Main orchestrator
retains hook registration, DB migrations, and cron schedule filter.
Backward-compatible proxy methods on PRAutoBlogger.

Foundation for the smart model picker. Fetches, normalizes, and caches
the OpenRouter model list (/api/v1/models — free, unauthenticated).
Daily refresh via the existing prautoblogger_daily_generation cron with
12h idempotency. 3-retry exponential backoff on transient failures;
serves last-good option payload when stale-and-fetch-fails.
New files:
- interface-model-registry.php — Phase 3-aware contract (94 lines)
- class-openrouter-model-registry.php — fetch + cache + query (226 lines)
- class-openrouter-model-normalizer.php — raw → standardized (114 lines)
Zero-coupling: no PRAUTOBLOGGER_* constants inside the service classes.
Config injected via constructor. Phase 2 lift into a shared Composer
package requires only namespace rename, zero internal edits.
Cost impact: $0/month (free endpoint, no LLM tokens).

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
