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.

Apply the same interactive model picker UI to the image model field.
Since Cloudflare models don't come from OpenRouter's registry, the
two FLUX models are embedded as static data in the page config and
the JS popup renders cost-per-image instead of token pricing.

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
