fix: expand single-line associative array to multi-line (PHPCS L89)

New eval framework:
- eval/dataset.json: 20 frozen peptide topic eval items
- class-opik-eval-scorer.php: LLM-as-judge using Gemini Flash 1.5
  Scores on: scientific_signal, readability, style_adherence (0-10)
- class-opik-eval-runner.php: orchestrator for full eval pass
  Loads dataset, runs generation (no publish/images), scores, pushes to Opik
  run(int $limit = 0, bool $dry_run = false): array
- class-wp-cli-commands.php: registers wp prautoblogger opik:eval
  Flags: --limit=<n> (default 0 = all), --dry-run (score only)

Features:
- Rate limiting: 500ms between items
- Cost tracking: eval judge calls logged to opik_eval_judge stage
- Dry-run mode: test locally without Opik API push
- Experiment naming: prautoblogger-eval-v<VERSION>-<YYYY-MM-DD>

-### #20: Editorial illustration prompt + style-template setting (v0.16.0, May 2026)
-
-Commit 1 of the in-plugin editorial image pipeline (brief `docs/proposals/2026-05-29-image-pipeline-in-plugin-brief.md`). The image style pivots from a single-panel newspaper comic to a **text-free editorial scientific illustration**. Two changes ship here; the deterministic PHP composer is a later commit.
-
-1. **Prompt structure.** `Image_Prompt_Builder::REWRITER_SYSTEM_PROMPT` now asks the rewriter LLM for a concise 1-2 sentence topic/mechanism summary (one concrete centered focal subject, no text/people-as-gag/logos) as the SCENE, keeping the short CAPTION line for the unchanged HTML-caption-below-image path. The scene/caption parsing contract (`Image_Scene_Parser`) is unchanged.
-2. **Template substitution.** The old `trim($scene . ' ' . $style_suffix)` concat is replaced by `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Template_Filler::fill($scene)` in all three entry points (`build_article_prompt`, `build_source_prompt`, `build_fallback_prompt`). The filler resolves the active template (admin override → default), strips control chars and clamps the summary length (brief A5), then substitutes the single `{{ topic_summary }}` token. Degradation (brief A5/A6): if the template lacks exactly one token it appends the summary and logs a warning; if the summary is empty it emits the style-only prompt — a blank or token-only prompt is never sent to the provider.
-3. **Setting.** New textarea `prautoblogger_image_style_template` (default `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_STYLE_TEMPLATE`) replaces the Style Suffix field. On save it is sanitised with `sanitize_textarea_field` and validated to contain exactly one token (`Image_Template_Filler::sanitize_for_save`). The old `prautoblogger_image_style_suffix` is mirrored to `..._deprecated` for one cycle and not deleted (one-time migration `prautoblogger_migrated_style_template_v0160`).

-Provider/model are unchanged — only the prompt text changes, so production keeps emitting via Runware FLUX.1 schnell but now produces text-free editorial base images.

 ### #17: Runware as default image backend (v0.9.0, Apr 2026)
 
 After a comic-style A/B round in Apr 2026, FLUX.1 schnell via Runware was chosen as the default image backend. Cost is ~$0.0006/image vs ~$0.039/image for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image via OpenRouter (≈65× cheaper), and the looser schnell fidelity reads as editorial-cartoon style — a feature, not a bug, for our single-panel comic aesthetic. FLUX.1 dev (~$0.02/image, 28 steps) remains available as an opt-in for higher-fidelity runs. The Runware layer mirrors the OpenRouter split (interface + provider + support + pricing + batch), all under the 300-line cap. The batch class dispatches `imageInference` POSTs via `curl_multi_init/exec/select` — wall-clock time for the A/B pair drops to ≈ the slowest single image. A v0.9.0 one-time migration (`prautoblogger_migrated_default_image_v090`) flips sites still on the legacy default; explicit user selections are preserved. Cloudflare Workers AI was removed as an image provider in v0.10.0 (see ADR #16 note below).

-## [0.16.0] - 2026-05-29
-
-### Changed
-- **Editorial image prompt (Commit 1 of the in-plugin editorial image pipeline).**
-  The image style pivots from a single-panel newspaper comic to a text-free
-  editorial scientific illustration. The rewriter LLM now emits a concise
-  1-2 sentence topic/mechanism summary as the SCENE (one centered focal
-  subject, no text/people-as-gag/logos), keeping the short CAPTION line for the
-  unchanged HTML-caption-below-image behavior. The scene/caption parsing
-  contract is unchanged. Provider/model are unchanged — production keeps
-  generating via Runware FLUX.1 schnell but now produces text-free editorial
-  base images. See `docs/proposals/2026-05-29-image-pipeline-in-plugin-brief.md`.
-- The prompt builder now substitutes the rewriter scene into an editable style
-  template's `{{ topic_summary }}` slot via the new
-  `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Template_Filler`, replacing the old
-  `scene + style suffix` concatenation, across all three entry points
-  (`build_article_prompt`, `build_source_prompt`, `build_fallback_prompt`).
-  Before substitution the scene is stripped of control characters and
-  length-clamped (brief A5). If the template lacks exactly one token the
-  summary is appended and a warning logged; if the summary is empty the
-  style-only prompt is emitted — a blank or token-only prompt is never sent to
-  the provider (brief A5/A6).
-
-### Added
-- New setting **Style Template** (`prautoblogger_image_style_template`,
-  textarea) replacing the Style Suffix field. Default =
-  `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_STYLE_TEMPLATE` (the editorial template). On save
-  it is validated to contain exactly one `{{ topic_summary }}` token; an invalid
-  template keeps the previous value and surfaces a settings error.
-
-### Deprecated
-- `prautoblogger_image_style_suffix` is deprecated and no longer read by the
-  prompt builder. A one-time migration (`prautoblogger_migrated_style_template_v0160`)
-  mirrors its value to `prautoblogger_image_style_suffix_deprecated` for one
-  version cycle and seeds the new template default. The old option is NOT
-  deleted this cycle.
-
-## [0.15.1] - 2026-05-14
-
-### Fixed
-- Cost preview in AI Models settings tab no longer prints a WordPress database
-  error notice; query now uses canonical column names (`prompt_tokens`,
-  `completion_tokens`, `created_at`). Bug present since v0.11.0 (2026-04-23).
-
-## [0.14.0] - 2026-04-26
-## [0.15.0] - 2026-04-26
-
-### Added
-- **Live Runware Model Catalog Sync**: New `class-runware-model-catalog.php`
-  fetches the live Runware model list via their `/v1` endpoint (task-based API),
-  filters to `taskType=imageInference` (text-to-image only, excluding inpainting),
-  normalizes to the Image_Model_Registry shape, and caches in `prautoblogger_runware_model_cache`
-  with a 24-hour TTL. Fixes the pattern from v0.13.8 and v0.14.0 where the
-  hardcoded Runware model list was a maintenance burden and gaps (missing models,
-  wrong prices) went unnoticed until customer images generation broke.
-- Daily WP-Cron sync (`prautoblogger_sync_runware_models`) scheduled on activation
-  and unscheduled on deactivation.
-- On-demand "Sync now" AJAX button in PRAdmin (Images settings section) with
-  nonce protection and `manage_options` cap check. Refreshes model count and
-  last-synced timestamp in the UI without full page reload.
-- Smart caching + fallback strategy: if cache is < 24h old, use it; if stale,
-  trigger a sync; if sync fails, use the last-known-good cache; if no cache,
-  fall back to hardcoded list (never returns empty array).
-- Pricing merge: Runware API may not expose per-image cost. The catalog pulls
-  costs from `class-runware-image-pricing.php::COST_PER_IMAGE` on every sync,
-  ensuring pricing data is always authoritative and up-to-date.
-- Unit tests for `PRAutoBlogger_Runware_Model_Catalog`: sync success/failure,
-  fallback on API unreachable, stale cache behavior, cost merge logic.
-- `class-image-model-registry.php` refactored: `get_models()` now delegates to
-  the catalog for Runware models + static OpenRouter list. Extracted fallback
-  lists into private `get_runware_fallback_models()` and `get_openrouter_models()`
-  for clarity.
-
-### Fixed
-- Silent model list gaps no longer possible: Runware no longer depends on manual
-  model list maintenance in the pricing class. The live catalog is the source of
-  truth; pricing is merged in on every sync.
-
-### Changed
-- `class-image-model-registry.php`: `get_models()` is now a thin wrapper around
-  the catalog + OpenRouter static list. Breaking change: callers that expect a
-  specific static list should note the new dynamic Runware side.
-
-
-### Fixed
-- Runware image generation now correctly uses the admin-selected model instead
-  of silently falling back to FLUX.1 schnell (runware:100@1) for all non-schnell
-  and non-dev selections. Root cause: `class-runware-image-pricing.php` only
-  had 2 models in its `COST_PER_IMAGE` whitelist (schnell + dev), but the
-  image model registry was expanded to 15 Runware models in v0.13.8 without a
-  matching update to the pricing class. Any model ID not in the whitelist caused
-  `resolve_model()` to fall back to schnell, so every Stable Diffusion, FLUX.2,
-  HiDream, TwinFlow, Z-Image, Qwen-Image, Krea, and GLM-Image selection was
-  silently downgraded.
-- Added all 15 Runware model IDs to `COST_PER_IMAGE` and `DEFAULT_STEPS` with
-  correct per-image costs and step counts sourced from runware.ai/pricing (April 2026).
-- Added `@see` cross-reference to `class-image-model-registry.php` in pricing
-  class docblock to prevent future drift.
-
-## [0.13.9] - 2026-04-26
-
-### Fixed
-- Model picker sort by price now works correctly for image models — previously
-  \`applySort\` always read \`input_price_per_m\` (undefined on image models),
-  so every image had an effective price of 0 and price sort was a no-op.
-  Fix: detect image models via \`cost_per_image\` and use that field instead.
-
-## [0.13.8] - 2026-04-26
-
-### Added
-- Image model picker expanded from 7 to 21 models
-- New Runware text-to-image models: Stable Diffusion 3, HiDream-I1 Full/Dev/Fast,
-  FLUX.1 Krea [dev], Qwen-Image, FLUX.2 [dev], FLUX.2 [klein] 9B, FLUX.2 [klein] 4B,
-  GLM-Image, Z-Image, Z-Image-Turbo, TwinFlow Z-Image-Turbo
-- New OpenRouter model: openai/gpt-5.4-image-2
-- Registry now includes last-verified date and update instructions in source comment

-
-## [0.13.7] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Posts list column layout: title was set to 35% which, combined with 3 fixed-width PRAB columns, left ~50px for every remaining column (Author, Categories, Tags, Date all word-wrapping). Replaced with a balanced budget: title 22%, author 6%, categories 7%, tags 9%, date 8%, PRAB columns 85/85/50px, Peptide Topics 75px.
-
-## [0.13.6] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Peptide Topics column still rendering vertically: WordPress posts table uses `table-layout: fixed` which ignores `min-width` entirely. Changed to explicit `width: 80px` which is respected under fixed-layout tables.
-
-## [0.13.5] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Cost column in Posts list was always showing $0.00: a PHP `// phpcs:ignore` comment was embedded inside the SQL string literal, causing a MariaDB syntax error on every query. Moved comment above the `prepare()` call.
-- Peptide Topics column header in Posts list was being squeezed to near-zero width by the fixed-width PRAB columns. Added `min-width: 80px` to `.column-taxonomy-peptide_topic`.
-
-## [0.13.4] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Model picker price column now consistently right-aligned. Root cause: price and description were siblings inside .ab-mp-row-meta, with description first and variable-length — this shifted price left/right per row. Fix: moved price to last position with flex-shrink: 0 so its right edge is always pinned to the row edge; capped description at max-width 200px with ellipsis; swapped column headers to match new DOM order.
-
-## [0.13.3] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Price column header now right-aligned with `min-width: 90px` to match data cells — header and prices now track the same column edge.
-
-## [0.13.2] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Changed
-- Model picker: added sortable column headers (Model, Price, Context); clicking a header sorts the list ascending/descending; active column highlighted with sort arrow; sort preference persists while the picker is open.
-
 ## [0.12.3] — 2026-04-24
-## [0.13.1] - 2026-04-24
-
-### Fixed
-- Model picker price column now right-aligned with a minimum width so values like `$0.0006/image` and `$0.0800/image` stack cleanly instead of floating at uneven offsets.
-
 ## [0.13.0] - 2026-04-24

+Given an article title and summary about peptides, supplements, or biohacking, create a SINGLE-PANEL COMIC concept. Output TWO parts separated by a blank line:
 
-SCENE: A concise 1-2 sentence description of the article's core topic or mechanism, written as the SUBJECT of a single editorial illustration. Name ONE concrete, centered focal subject and the few supporting visual elements around it (e.g. a labelled-free vial and dropper, a stylised receptor on a cell membrane, a molecular chain, a dosing syringe, an organ cross-section). Favor a clear central focal point with margin around it so the image crops well. This is image-gen direction, not prose.
+SCENE: One sentence describing the visual gag — a funny, absurd, or ironic situation related to the article's topic. Favor CONCRETE, HUMAN-SCALE scenes: people reacting to things, doctors and patients, scientists in a lab, gym bros with peptide vials, partners at a kitchen table, ordinary objects in ordinary rooms. Keep it simple — one clear visual joke, 1-3 characters max.
 
-CAPTION: A short, informative caption line (under 15 words) for display as HTML text below the image. Plain and editorial, not a joke.
+CAPTION: A short, punchy caption or speech bubble line (under 15 words) that delivers the punchline. The humor should be dry, nerdy, and accessible — the reader should chuckle even if they only half-understand the science.
 
 Rules:
-- The SCENE must depict the article's actual subject/mechanism, not a generic science scene.
-- NO text, words, captions, speech bubbles, labels, or logos described in the SCENE — the illustration is text-free; text is rendered separately.
-- NO people used as a visual gag and NO cartoon/comic framing. A human anatomical element (a cell, an organ, a hand holding a vial) is fine if it is the legitimate subject.
-- Do NOT personify molecules, peptides, hormones, or proteins (no "smiling molecule"); depict them as clean stylised diagrams or structures.
-- Keep the staging simple with one clear focal subject, readable at small sizes.
+- The joke MUST relate to the article's actual subject matter, not generic science humor
+- DO NOT personify molecules, peptides, hormones, proteins, or other chemical structures (no "anthropomorphic molecule", no "cartoon hormone"). Image models render anthropomorphized chemistry as incoherent blobs. If the article is about a substance, show a PERSON reacting to or using the substance; if the article is abstract (a mechanism, a process, a concept), fall back on a human observer reacting to its effect.
+- Characters can have simple cartoon faces (round heads, dot eyes, expressive eyebrows)
+- Keep the scene physically simple — few objects, clear staging, easy to read at thumbnail size
+- The caption should work as a standalone joke even without the image
+- No logos, watermarks, or branding
 - Output ONLY the scene and caption. No preamble, no explanation.
 
 Example output format:
-A single glass peptide vial on a clean surface with a fine dropper above it, a faint stylised molecular chain arcing behind as a backdrop, centered with generous negative space.
+A muscular gym bro stares, deflated, at a tiny glass vial in his hand while his friend squats a barbell effortlessly in the background.
 
-A concentrated look at how the compound is prepared before use.
