fix: rewrite board-data-provider without null bytes (bash-mount artifact)

The previous commit had class-board-data-provider.php written via the
Windows Write tool which pads the file with CIFS block-aligned null bytes.
Rewrite from Python string literal in /tmp to produce a clean UTF-8 file
with no null bytes.

-**Hidden admin page convention (v0.19.3):** See CONVENTIONS.md §Hidden Admin Pages for the full rule. Summary: hidden admin pages (link-accessed only, not visible in nav) MUST use `options.php` as the `add_submenu_page()` parent. NEVER unset/remove registered pages from `$submenu` after registration -- doing so causes `get_admin_page_parent()` to fail at request time, which makes WP recompute the hookname in the `admin_page_*` orphan namespace, find no registered handler, and call `wp_die(403)`. This is the dossier 403 incident (v0.19.2→v0.19.3). Same hookname-mismatch class as the board 404 (v0.19.0→v0.19.1); the only difference is that the board bug was a priority-ordering issue at registration time while the dossier bug was a post-registration $submenu mutation.

-### #23: Article Dossier page — per-article inspection (v0.19.2)
-
-The dossier is a read-only per-article admin page that exposes the full substrate view for
-a single post: generation run, stage I/O, cost receipts, raw-trace toggles, editorial
-decisions, and image A/B pairs. It is link-accessed only (hidden submenu) — no navigation
-entry appears in the WP sidebar.
-
-**Page registration** (`class-dossier-page.php`): uses the canonical hidden-admin-page
-pattern -- registered under parent **`options.php`** at `admin_menu` priority **12**. The
-hookname is `admin_page_prautoblogger-dossier` at BOTH registration time and request time,
-so there is no hookname mismatch and no need to manipulate `$submenu`. The page does not
-appear in the WP admin sidebar (options.php-parent pages are hidden by construction).
-URL shape: `admin.php?page=prautoblogger-dossier&post_id=<int>` (unchanged from v0.19.2 --
-deep-link URLs are parent-agnostic). Secured by `manage_options` capability. Static
-`url_for_post(int $post_id): string` provides the canonical deep-link.
-
-v0.19.2 used `prautoblogger-settings` as parent with post-registration `unset($submenu[...])` to
-hide the page. This caused `get_admin_page_parent()` to fail at request time -> orphan
-`admin_page_*` hookname -> no handler registered -> `wp_die(403)`. Fixed in v0.19.3 by switching
-to `options.php` parent and removing all `$submenu` mutation. See CONVENTIONS.md §Hidden Admin
-Pages for the full rule and ARCHITECTURE.md §22b for both incident records.
-
-Regression test: `tests/unit/Admin/DossierMenuRegistrationTest.php` -- the
-`test_request_time_hookname_matches_registration_hookname` test replicates the request-time
-resolution algorithm (simulate `get_admin_page_parent()`) so it FAILS on hide-by-unset and
-PASSES on options.php-parent.

-1. wp_prautoblogger_runs       WHERE run_id = %s             -- 1 row (run metadata)
-2. wp_prautoblogger_run_stages WHERE run_id = %s             -- N rows (per-stage status/cost)
-3. wp_prautoblogger_generation_log WHERE run_id = %s         -- N rows (model/pv/tokens/request)
-4. wp_prautoblogger_run_decisions WHERE run_id = %s          -- N rows (editorial rationale)
-5. get_post_meta($post_id)                                    -- WP object cache hit
-```
-
-All queries are keyed on `run_id` (indexed). No N+1. Stage output is reconstructed from
-`run_stages.meta_json → json_decode → meta['output']` (same path as `Run_Stage_State::
-get_output()`). The dossier assembler does NOT call `Run_Stage_State` directly; it performs
-its own raw queries so the view is not coupled to the cache layer.
-
-**Legacy graceful state (binding 5):** Posts published before v0.18.0 (no runs/run_stages
-rows) and posts where `_prautoblogger_run_id` is absent or blank return `['has_run' => false]`.
-The template renders a clean "No generation record for this article" notice. No PHP notices
-or fatals.
-
-**Amortized research rows:** `generation_log` rows with `prompt_version = NULL` and
-`agent_role = ''` (from the `llm_research` stage orphan-reaper path) are rendered with
-model shown as "—" and no raw-trace toggle (request_json may be NULL). No fatal/notice.
-
-**Raw-trace security (binding 4):** `request_json` stores the OpenRouter request body —
-model identifier, messages array, temperature. Authorization headers are never logged (the
-outbound HTTP client strips them before logging, per the original architecture decision on
-`wp_prautoblogger_generation_log`). The dossier template renders `request_json` via
-`esc_html()` inside a `<pre>` block. All model-generated text rendered via `wp_kses_post()`
-(rendered view) or `esc_html()` (raw trace). Both paths treat content as untrusted HTML.
-
-**File naming note:** `PRAutoBlogger_DB_Migrations` is loaded via explicit `require_once`
-in `prautoblogger.php` (not the autoloader). The autoloader converts `DB_Migrations` to the
-kebab segment `d-b-migrations`, producing `class-d-b-migrations.php` — which does not match
-the file `class-db-migrations.php`. Explicit loading is the canonical pattern for classes
-whose names do not round-trip cleanly through the kebab converter. `class-prautoblogger.php`
-uses the same pattern (also explicitly required in `prautoblogger.php`).

-### #24: Edit + single-step re-run under CPO guardrails (v0.20.0, db 1.3.0, June 2026)
-
-Phase 2 admin M3 (design contract: cpo seq 8 Proposal C + the five guardrails of the
-edit+rerun delta ruling; decision `2026-06-12-admin-redesign-direction-c.md`).
-
-**B1 — request_json persistence.** The OpenRouter provider stashes every outgoing chat
-request BODY in the process-scoped `PRAutoBlogger_Request_Recorder` (the Run_Context
-pattern) right after `build_body()`; `Cost_Tracker::log_api_call()` consumes it into
-`generation_log.request_json`. Consume-once + overwrite-on-record means a stale body can
-never attach to an unrelated row; recording happens pre-dispatch so error rows carry the
-request too. Authorization can never be recorded: headers are built separately
-(`build_headers()`) and `build_body()` copies only whitelisted option keys. Retention
-rides the existing `prautoblogger_request_json_retention_days` prune unchanged.
-
-**Two re-run primitives, both chained-cron (never synchronous):** the dossier AJAX layer
-(`Dossier_Actions`) only validates + queues; the cron handlers (`Rerun_Executor`)
-re-validate eligibility UNDER the generation lock before mutating anything.
-
-1. **Replay** — one governed chat call from the latest edited input fork
-   (`stage_inputs`, INSERT-only versions). `Stage_Replay::options_from_body()` is the
-   exact inverse of `build_body()`+`apply_reasoning_budget()` (reasoning headroom
-   subtracted back out; reasoning pinned explicitly so global-setting drift cannot
-   reshape a replay). The call goes through `send_chat_completion`, so the cost
-   governor reserves against the SAME run ledger row (guardrail 4), with the normal
-   retry/empty-completion machinery. Output lands in the stage's run_stages snapshot —
-   the same place downstream rebuilds read from.
-2. **Rebuild ("re-run from here")** — demotes the target + downstream chain stages to
-   `pending` and re-enters `Article_Worker` with the idea reconstructed from the stored
-   seed (`stage_inputs`, source='seed', persisted at worker start because re-deriving
-   the idea from post fields could break the item_key hash and duplicate a post).
-   Upstream done stages are reused (never re-charged); demoted stages rebuild their
-   prompts from CURRENT upstream snapshots — this is how an edit propagates downstream.
-
-**Stale is a column, not a status.** A stale stage stays `done`, so
-resume-without-recharge logic can never silently re-run it — guardrail 3 (no silent
-auto-rerun; each downstream re-run is a deliberate operator action) holds by
-construction. Only `Run_Stage_Writes::done()` clears `stale`; only
-`Run_Stage_Rerun_State` (operator-action paths) may demote a done row. `human_modified`
-is sticky for the life of the run (set when a fork enters execution, surfaced as header/
-stage chips in the dossier, a board-card chip, and a Review Queue link-chip — the
-run-list-level visibility the product AC requires).
-
-**Run reopening.** `Run_State::reopen()` is the atomic terminal→running gate for re-run
-spend; it RE-SNAPSHOTS `ceiling_usd` from the current setting (a deliberate re-run
-adopts the operator's current per-run policy, exactly like a new run) and never resets
-reserved/settled — re-runs are new spend on the same run. Handlers always restore a
-terminal status (or record failed/halted) so the run-reaper's stuck-running sweep stays
-meaningful; jobs hold the global generation lock and ride the M1 status transient, so
-board/dossier polling shows queued → pickup → result and the existing R2/R3 orphan
-recovery covers dead re-run processes unchanged.
-
-**Eligibility (guardrail 5).** Posts with status publish/future/private freeze their
-run server-side (and `Publisher` refuses to touch them: re-run output refreshes only
-UNPUBLISHED posts, preserving their status — re-runs never publish). Editable stages
-are the item-scoped writer chat stages (outline/draft/polish); review/publish re-run
-via rebuild (their inputs are derived), run-level and image stages are excluded with
-visible in-UI reasons. Phase-2b stages inherit the mechanism when they exist as
-item-scoped chat calls.
-
-**F2/F3 (QA M2):** the sidebar consolidates per-stage model/pv/role; image (and other
-log-only) stages render from generation_log + the `_prautoblogger_image_role`
-attachment set — wiring the dossier to real data was deliberately chosen over teaching
-the live image pipeline to write run_stages (that belongs to the Phase-2b restructure).

 **Important:** If your OpenRouter account has a global spending limit, set each plugin's budget to less than half the total. PRAutoBlogger will hard-stop when its budget is exhausted, but Peptide News currently has no budget enforcement — a spike in news fetches could consume shared quota.
 
 **Future improvement:** A shared `wp_options` key (e.g., `ecosystem_monthly_llm_budget`) that both plugins read, with each plugin reserving its allocation on startup. This requires coordination at the ecosystem level and is tracked as a medium-term goal.

-## §25 Chained-Cron Checkpoint Generation Path (v0.21.0, M4)
-
-### Problem
-
-Hostinger shared hosting kills PHP background processes after ~120 s. The former
-`on_manual_generation()` path in `Executor` ran the complete orchestrate +
-generate pipeline in a single PHP process — meaning a host kill mid-run left the
-generation lock held, the run row stuck in `running`, and partially-generated
-articles orphaned with no status broadcast.
-
-### Solution: Two-Tick Checkpoint Machine
-
-`PRAutoBlogger_Generation_Checkpoint_Runner` (v0.21.0) splits the pipeline into
-independent cron ticks, each of which completes well within Hostinger's limit:
-
-| Tick | WP-Cron action | What happens |
-|------|---------------|-------------|
-| 1 | `prautoblogger_gen_orchestrate` | Collect sources → analyze → score ideas. Serialize ideas to `prautoblogger_article_queue` option. Schedule Tick 2. |
-| 2..N | `prautoblogger_gen_tick` | Pop ONE idea from queue. Call `Article_Worker::generate()`. Persist updated queue. Reschedule next Tick, or finalize. |
-
-If the host kills any tick:
-- The idea queue is persisted (option survived the crash).
-- The next CRON run picks up naturally (no orphan).
-- `Run_Reaper` reclaims truly stuck runs via its daily sweep.
-
-### Entry Points
-
-| Caller | Path |
-|--------|------|
-| Board "New Article" button | AJAX `prautoblogger_generate_now` → `Generation_Status_Poller::on_ajax_generate_now()` → schedules `prautoblogger_manual_generation` → `Executor::on_manual_generation()` → `kick_off()` |
-| WP-CLI | `wp prautoblogger generate` → `WP_CLI_Commands::generate_command()` → `kick_off()` |
-| Old cron hook (retained) | `prautoblogger_manual_generation` → `Executor::on_manual_generation()` → `kick_off()` |
-
-### SSH Workaround Retirement
-
-The former `wp eval 'do_action("prautoblogger_manual_generation")'` workaround
-fired `on_manual_generation()` synchronously in the CLI PHP process, bypassing:
-- Nonce/capability checks (running as CLI user, not WP user)
-- Cron-based loopback spawning
-- Per-process time limits

-This path is retired. `Executor::on_manual_generation()` now delegates immediately
-to `Generation_Checkpoint_Runner::on_orchestrate_tick()` (the Tick 1 handler),
-which acquires the lock and runs orchestration within its own process. The
-`wp prautoblogger generate` WP-CLI command provides the supported CLI path.
-
-### Key State
-
-| Store | Key | Contents |
-|-------|-----|---------|
-| DB option | `prautoblogger_article_queue` | `{run_id, ideas[], results{}}` — persisted across ticks |
-| DB option | `prautoblogger_checkpoint_run_id` | Current run UUID (for finalize/cleanup paths) |
-| Transient | `prautoblogger_generation_status` | Status broadcast (polling by board/dossier JS) |
-| DB | `prautoblogger_runs` | Per-run ledger with status, cost ceiling |
-
-### Budget / Halt Contract
-
-`Cost_Tracker::is_budget_exceeded()` is checked at the START of Tick 1 and each
-generate tick. A halted run (`Run_State::get_status() = 'halted'`) causes the
-generate tick to abort without calling `Article_Worker`, clean up the queue, and
-release the lock — same guarantee as `Pipeline_Runner`'s queued-article path.

-## [Unreleased - Internal]
-
-### Internal
-- CI constants guard (`scripts/check-constants.php`): new required CI step (`Check PRAUTOBLOGGER_* constants`) fails the build when any `PRAUTOBLOGGER_*` constant referenced in shipped plugin PHP is neither defined in `prautoblogger.php` nor `defined()`-guarded at the reference site. Prevents a recurrence of the v0.19.0 admin-500 regression class.
-
-## [0.22.0] - 2026-06-16
-
-### Changed
-- **CI adopted estate standard (reusable workflow)**: `ci.yml` is now a thin
-  caller of `peptiderepo/peptide-e2e/.github/workflows/ci.yml@main` with
-  `tests: brain-monkey`. Removes duplicate per-repo lint, PHPCS, and PHPUnit
-  jobs (now provided by the reusable workflow). The phpcbf auto-fix commit-back
-  pattern (prautoblogger gold standard) is now the reusable implementation.
-- **Deploy gate upgraded**: `deploy.yml` no longer runs a standalone PHP-lint
-  validate job; it calls `./.github/workflows/ci.yml` (which includes the full
-  reusable suite) via `workflow_call`. This closes the gap where deploy's lint
-  gate was weaker than CI's PHPCS gate.
-- **Constants guard retained**: `check-constants` job kept as a second parallel
-  job in `ci.yml` alongside the reusable `ci` job. No regression from the
-  v0.19.0 protection.
-- **`composer.json` test script added**: `composer test` now runs
-  `vendor/bin/phpunit --testdox` (required by the reusable workflow's phpunit job).
-
-### Refactored (300-line rule compliance)
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Keyword_Extractor` (new, `core/class-keyword-extractor.php`):
-  shared keyword tokeniser extracted from `Idea_Scorer` and `Semantic_Dedup`;
-  both now delegate to `PRAutoBlogger_Keyword_Extractor::extract()`.
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Aspect_Ratio` (new, `providers/class-image-aspect-ratio.php`):
-  aspect-ratio snap utility extracted from `OpenRouter_Image_Provider` and
-  `OpenRouter_Image_Batch`; both now call `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Aspect_Ratio::snap()`.
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Settings_Sanitizer` (new, `admin/class-settings-sanitizer.php`):
-  all option sanitization logic extracted from `Admin_Page::sanitize_field()`;
-  `Admin_Page` delegates via `PRAutoBlogger_Settings_Sanitizer::sanitize_field()`.
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Settings_Fields_Images` (new, `admin/class-settings-fields-images.php`):
-  image-section field definitions extracted from `Settings_Fields_Extended`;
-  `Settings_Fields_Extended::get_fields()` merges via array union.
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Runware_Validator` (new, `providers/class-runware-image-validator.php`):
-  `validate_credentials_detailed()` extracted from `Runware_Image_Provider`;
-  provider delegates via `PRAutoBlogger_Runware_Validator::validate()`.
-- `class-runware-image-batch.php`: 15 individual `phpcs:disable` lines collapsed
-  to a single grouped suppression (equivalent effect, saves 14 lines).
-- `class-open-router-image-provider.php`: `snap_aspect_ratio` private method and
-  `STANDARD_ASPECTS` constant removed (now handled by `Image_Aspect_Ratio`).
-
-## [0.21.0] - 2026-06-14
-
-### Added
-- **Board “New Article” button (Phase 2 admin M4)**. Manual generation is now
-  accessible from the kanban board (not just the Settings page). The button fires
-  the existing `prautoblogger_generate_now` AJAX action; the board status area
-  shows generation progress via the existing transient poller. Requires
-  `manage_options` capability.
-- **Chained-cron checkpoint machine** (`PRAutoBlogger_Generation_Checkpoint_Runner`).
-  Replaces the monolithic `on_manual_generation()` synchronous path with a
-  two-tick checkpoint machine so Hostinger’s PHP-process kill cannot abort a
-  mid-pipeline run:
-  - Tick 1 (`prautoblogger_gen_orchestrate`): collect → analyze → score ideas,
-    persist to `prautoblogger_article_queue` option, schedule Tick 2.
-  - Tick 2…N (`prautoblogger_gen_tick`): pop ONE idea, generate one article,
-    reschedule or finalize. Persists consumed queue BEFORE generating to prevent
-    orphan-recovery duplication on restart.
-  - Budget / halt: `Cost_Tracker::is_budget_exceeded()` checked per tick;
-    a halted run aborts all remaining ticks without calling `Article_Worker`.
-- **WP-CLI `wp prautoblogger generate` command**. Routes through the same
-  chained-cron checkpoints as the board button. Replaces the retired SSH-only
-  `wp eval 'do_action("prautoblogger_manual_generation")'` workaround.
-- **Settings-backed board pagination** (perf pass). All hardcoded LIMIT / `posts_per_page`
-  values in board queries replaced with two new settings:
-  - `prautoblogger_board_column_limit` (default 20, constant `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_BOARD_COLUMN_LIMIT`)
-  - `prautoblogger_ideas_per_page` (default 30, constant `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IDEAS_PER_PAGE`)
-- **DB indexes** (via `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DB_VERSION` → `1.4.0`):
-  - `generation_log`: `KEY run_id_post_id`, `KEY created_status` (board query + failed-cards).
-  - `analysis_results`: `KEY analyzed_type` (ideas-browser pagination + type filter).
-  - `runs`: `KEY started_at` (articles-list pagination `ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT n OFFSET m`).
-- **Query helper split**: `PRAutoBlogger_Ideas_Browser_Query` (new `class-ideas-browser-query.php`)
-  carries static query helpers extracted from `class-ideas-browser.php` to enforce the
-  300-line rule (CONVENTIONS §1).
-- **Guard P2s** (`scripts/check-constants.php`):
-  - Added `--self-test` mode: synthesizes a missing constant and asserts the scanner catches it.
-  - Added inline comment documenting `CONSTANTS_GUARD_WINDOW = 4`.
-  - Wired `--self-test` as a CI step after the main constants check.
-- **PHPUnit test** `tests/unit/Core/GenerationCheckpointRunnerTest.php`: tick-by-tick
-  state-machine proof (kick_off schedules only, empty queue finalizes, halted run aborts,
-  multi-idea queue pops one and reschedules).
-- **Pipeline_Status** now exports `write_initial()` and `write_error()` for the
-  checkpoint runner to set the status transient before the first cron tick fires.
-
-### Changed
-- `Executor::on_manual_generation()` now delegates to
-  `Generation_Checkpoint_Runner::on_orchestrate_tick()` instead of running the full
-  pipeline synchronously. The method body is 1 line; the synchronous path is retired.
-- `Pipeline_Runner::orchestrate_only()` added as a public wrapper exposing the private
-  `orchestrate()` method for use by `Generation_Checkpoint_Runner`.
-
-### Removed
-- **SSH-only workaround retired**: `wp eval 'do_action("prautoblogger_manual_generation")'` no
-  longer fires the pipeline synchronously in one PHP process. Use `wp prautoblogger generate`
-  instead (routes through the chained-cron checkpoint machine). See ARCHITECTURE.md §25.
-
-## [0.20.1] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Fixed
-- **Restore three bootstrap constants deleted by the v0.19.0 constants-block regression**
-  (`PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_RUN_CEILING_USD` 0.50, `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_REQUEST_JSON_RETENTION_DAYS` 14,
-  `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_REASONING_MAX_TOKENS` 2048 — verbatim v0.18.3 values). PR #156 (v0.19.0)
-  dropped them from `prautoblogger.php`; the gap was latent because `tests/bootstrap.php` defines
-  its own fallbacks (CI green) and no exercised v0.19.x runtime path read them (prod reasoning
-  disabled). v0.20.0's activator defaults + run-state ceiling read them on the admin
-  migration path -> fatal 500 on all plugin admin pages immediately after the v0.20.0 deploy
-  (2026-06-12; front-of-site unaffected; hot-patched on prod within minutes, this commit makes
-  it canonical). Follow-up owed: CI guard asserting every referenced PRAUTOBLOGGER_* constant
-  is production-defined or defined()-guarded (maintenance thread).
-
-## [0.20.0] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Added
-- **Edit + single-step re-run (Phase 2 admin M3)** under the five CPO guardrails
-  (cpo seq 8, hard AC). From the Article Dossier, eligible stages can have their
-  input edited and re-run as QUEUED background jobs (chained-cron — the UI never
-  implies synchronous execution; board + dossier polling shows queued → pickup →
-  result).
-  - **Immutable input versions (guardrail 1).** Edits fork into the new INSERT-only
-    `prautoblogger_stage_inputs` table (monotonic versions per stage scope); the
-    executed original in `generation_log.request_json` is never overwritten. The
-    editor locks message structure (count/roles) so every fork stays replayable.
-  - **Visible human-modified audit (guardrail 2).** `run_stages.human_modified` +
-    `run_decisions.human_modified` set when an edited fork enters execution (sticky,
-    never cleared); surfaced as dossier header + stage chips, a board-card chip, and
-    decisions recorded while rebuilding a human-modified item are flagged too.
-  - **Explicit downstream invalidation (guardrail 3).** Re-running a stage marks all
-    downstream chain stages `stale` (new column — rows STAY 'done', so the resume
-    machinery can never silently auto-re-run them). Stale chips render per stage, in
-    the dossier header, and as a Review Queue warning chip linking to the dossier
-    (stale state visible at publish). Downstream re-runs are deliberate: per-stage
-    "Re-run from here" rebuilds the target + downstream from current upstream
-    snapshots via the existing worker resume path.
-  - **Cost governor applies to re-runs (guardrail 4).** Replays go through the normal
-    provider seam: reserve-before-call against the SAME run ledger row.
-    `Run_State::reopen()` re-snapshots the ceiling from the current setting and never
-    resets accumulated spend. The dossier shows a Run Spend card + per-panel spend
-    strip and warns when committed spend reaches the ceiling fraction (filterable,
-    `prautoblogger_rerun_ceiling_warn_fraction`, default 0.8).
-  - **Published posts are frozen (guardrail 5).** publish/future/private lock the run
-    server-side (not just hidden UI); `Publisher` refreshes re-run output onto
-    UNPUBLISHED posts only, preserving their status — a re-run never publishes.
-- **B1 — `request_json` persisted on every chat LLM call** (QA M2 F1). The provider
-  records the outgoing request BODY pre-dispatch (process-scoped recorder, consume-once);
-  `log_api_call()` writes it to the row. Authorization headers can never be recorded
-  (built separately; body keys whitelisted — covered by tests). Retention rides the
-  existing `prautoblogger_request_json_retention_days` prune; the dossier raw-trace
-  "Request payload" section now renders for new runs.
-- **Idea seeds.** `Article_Worker` persists the exact `Article_Idea` payload once per
-  item (stage_inputs, source='seed') so re-run-from-here reconstructs the precise idea
-  (re-deriving from post fields could break the item-key hash and duplicate a post).
-- **Dossier sidebar consolidation (QA M2 F2).** New "Models & Prompts" card: per-stage
-  model + prompt version + agent role at a glance, plus the "Run Spend" card.
-- **Image sections wired to real data (QA M2 F3).** image_a/image_b (and every
-  log-only stage: llm_research, image_prompt_rewrite, …) now render from their actual
-  generation_log rows, with the post's pipeline attachments (featured/og/square via
-  `_prautoblogger_image_role`) shown as an image grid — chosen/featured highlighted.
-- **Schema (db 1.3.0).** `run_stages` + `human_modified`/`stale`; `run_decisions` +
-  `human_modified`; new `stage_inputs` table. dbDelta-idempotent via the standard
-  self-healing migration path (admin_init + cron init); half-migrated sites degrade
-  gracefully (done() retries the legacy statement; M3 features no-op until migrated).
-  Uninstall drops the new table and clears the two new cron hooks.
-
-### Changed
-- **`PRAutoBlogger_Run_Stage_State` split** (300-line cap, M2 pattern): pipeline write
-  bodies moved verbatim to `Run_Stage_Writes` (public API unchanged via thin proxies);
-  operator-action mutations (restart / mark_stale / demote_to_pending) isolated in
-  `Run_Stage_Rerun_State` — the ONLY code allowed to demote a done row. `done()` now
-  clears `stale` on fresh output.
-- **Dossier is item-scoped** (M2 correctness fix): stage rows filter to THIS post's
-  item (idea-hash meta), and gen_log rows linked to OTHER posts of a multi-article run
-  are excluded (unlinked run-level rows are kept).
-- **`Publisher` idempotency short-circuit** now refreshes existing UNPUBLISHED posts
-  with re-run content (title/content/verdict meta; status untouched) instead of
-  silently discarding regenerated output. Published posts remain untouched.
-- Review Queue rows show a stale-stages warning chip linking to the dossier; board
-  cards show a "Human-modified" chip (single batched query, no N+1).
-
-### Fixed
-- Dossier "Request payload" raw trace was always empty (request_json never populated —
-  QA M2 F1); image sections always rendered the absent state (QA M2 F3).
-## [0.19.4] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Added
-- **GD-rung unit tests.** New `ImageComposerEditorTest.php` (7 tests) covering
-  `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Composer_Editor`: `wp_get_image_editor` WP_Error, resize WP_Error,
-  upscale-guard size mismatch, save WP_Error, zero-width target geometry guard, missing-role
-  guard, and successful OG resize happy path. Orchestrator ladder test
-  `test_gd_rung_emits_passthrough_featured_and_single_warning` added to `ImageComposerTest.php`,
-  asserting the Imagick renderer is never called on the `gd` rung and pass-through featured is
-  always first.
-  (Source: QA verdict `Peptide Repo CTO/qa-reviews/prautoblogger/2026-06-11-6f76df1.md` P2-1.)
-
-### Fixed
-- **Dead layout keys removed.** `caption_margin_right` (og) and `caption_side_padding` (square)
-  were defined in `Layout::defaults()` and exposed via the `prautoblogger_image_compose_layout`
-  filter but never consumed by the Imagick renderer. The og renderer positions text from
-  `logo_x + logo_w + caption_gap` (left-anchor); the square renderer uses centered `x` alignment.
-  Right-edge overflow is enforced via `caption_chars_per_line` on both variants. Keys removed;
-  filter users tuning these values had no effect and received no error.
-  (Source: QA verdict `Peptide Repo CTO/qa-reviews/prautoblogger/2026-06-11-6f76df1.md` P3-3.)
-- **Amortized research row now carries audit fields.** `Post_Assembler::amortize_research_costs()`
-  previously inserted per-article `llm_research` copies without `prompt_version` or `agent_role`,
-  leaving those columns NULL/empty while the original (correctly stamped) row was deleted.
-  SELECT now includes both columns; INSERT carries them forward from the original row.
-  (Source: phase-1 thread seq 49, seq 50 carried-list: "amortized llm_research rows pv=null/role
-  empty" — `convo/prautoblogger/threads/2026-06-pipeline-v2-phase1/`.)
-- **`fetch_page()` error body included in exception.** Non-200 responses from the Runware
-  modelSearch API now include up to 200 chars of the response body in the `RuntimeException`
-  message, making diagnosis from logs actionable without re-reproducing the request.
-  (Source: phase-1 thread seq 50 carried-list: "`fetch_page()` error-body logging".)

-
-## [0.19.3] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Fixed
-- **Dossier page 403 (P0 hotfix).** `PRAutoBlogger_Dossier_Page::on_register_menu` registered the
-  dossier as a hidden submenu under `prautoblogger-settings` then called `unset($submenu[...])` to
-  hide it from the nav. This is the **hide-by-unset anti-pattern**: at registration time WP records
-  the render callback under hookname `prautoblogger_page_prautoblogger-dossier`; at request time
-  `get_admin_page_parent()` scans `$submenu`, finds the slug absent (it was unset), returns false,
-  and WP recomputes the hookname under the orphan `admin_page_*` namespace -- no handler registered
-  there -- `wp_die(403)`. Same hookname-mismatch class as the board 404 (v0.19.1), different vector.
-  **Fix:** register under parent `options.php` (canonical hidden-page pattern). Hookname is
-  `admin_page_prautoblogger-dossier` at both registration and request time. No `$submenu` mutation
-  required or permitted. Asset enqueue gate updated to match (`admin_page_*` prefix).
-  Deep-link URLs (`admin.php?page=prautoblogger-dossier&post_id=N`) are parent-agnostic and
-  unchanged. Board cards and the post metabox link continue to work without modification.
-
-### Changed
-- **Regression test upgraded to request-time faithful** (`DossierMenuRegistrationTest`).
-  New `test_request_time_hookname_matches_registration_hookname` simulates
-  `get_admin_page_parent()` against the post-registration `$submenu` state and asserts it
-  equals the registration-time hookname. FAILS on hide-by-unset (4 failures on v0.19.2 code,
-  captured in test evidence). PASSES on options.php-parent. New
-  `test_hide_by_unset_would_fail_request_time_check` documents the broken pattern inline.
-- **CONVENTIONS.md §Hidden Admin Pages** added: options.php-parent is the only permitted
-  pattern for hidden admin pages; `$submenu` mutation after registration is explicitly
-  prohibited; full incident history (board 404 + dossier 403) and test methodology documented.
-- **ARCHITECTURE.md §22b** updated with hidden-page convention cross-reference.
-  **§23** updated to reflect options.php-parent registration and the v0.19.2→v0.19.3 fix.
-- **tests/bootstrap.php**: added `PRAUTOBLOGGER_PLUGIN_URL` and `PRAUTOBLOGGER_VERSION`
-  constants so admin enqueue tests resolve without "Undefined constant" errors.
-
-## [0.19.2] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Added
-- **Article Dossier page (M2).** Per-article read-only inspection page at
-  `admin.php?page=prautoblogger-dossier&post_id=<id>`. Accessible via board card
-  deep-links and the slim post metabox link. Shows: header (title, verdict pill, tier,
-  status), sidebar (run metadata, per-stage cost receipt with model + prompt-version),
-  vertical stage sections (rendered output default, per-stage raw-trace toggle exposing
-  `generation_log` request JSON + tokens + cost + role), editorial decisions rationale,
-  image A/B pair sections.
-- **Board card deep-links.** All Kanban cards now deep-link directly to the article
-  dossier page (`dossier_url` on card data; `click_action = dossier` in board JS).
-- **Slim post metabox.** `PRAutoBlogger_Post_Metabox` now renders a single "View
-  generation dossier →" link (was a verbose generation-metadata dump).
-- **Dossier CSS/JS.** `assets/css/dossier.css` (warm editorial palette, verdict pills,
-  cost receipt, raw-trace toggle) + `assets/js/dossier.js` (vanilla JS toggle,
-  `aria-expanded` / `aria-controls` accessible).
-- **Menu registration test coverage.** `DossierMenuRegistrationTest.php` — asserts
-  dossier hook fires at priority > board (> parent), uses hidden-submenu pattern,
-  correct slug, and `url_for_post()` URL shape. Mirrors `BoardMenuRegistrationTest`.
-- **Raw-trace credential check (binding 4).** `request_json` column contains only
-  OpenRouter request bodies (model, messages, temperature — no Authorization headers
-  per architecture). All model output escaped via `esc_html()` / `wp_kses_post()`;
-  treated as untrusted HTML throughout the render path.
-- **Legacy graceful state (binding 5).** Posts with no run record (pre-v0.18.0) render
-  a clean "No generation record" notice — no notices, no fatals. Amortized research
-  rows (pv=null, role='') render model as "—" with no raw-trace toggle.
-
-### Changed
-- **`class-prautoblogger.php` → `class-db-migrations.php` split (binding 1).**
-  All DB-migration methods extracted byte-identically into new static class
-  `PRAutoBlogger_DB_Migrations` (`includes/class-db-migrations.php`, 129 lines).
-  `class-prautoblogger.php` shrinks from 407 → 258 lines; delegates via thin proxy.
-  Loaded via explicit `require_once` in `prautoblogger.php` (autoloader filename
-  collision avoidance — see ARCHITECTURE.md §File Naming Notes).
-
-## [0.19.1] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Fixed
-- **Board admin submenu 404 (P0 hotfix).** `PRAutoBlogger_Board_Page::on_register_menu`
-  was hooked at `admin_menu` priority 10, identical to
-  `PRAutoBlogger_Admin_Page::on_register_menu`. Because the board hook was
-  registered first in `register_admin_hooks()`, `add_submenu_page()` fired while
-  `$admin_page_hooks['prautoblogger-settings']` was still unset. WordPress fell back
-  to the `admin_page_prautoblogger-board` hookname; at request time it recomputed
-  `prautoblogger_page_prautoblogger-board`, found no registered callback, and called
-  `wp_die()` with "Invalid plugin page". Board CSS/JS also never loaded (same
-  enqueue-gate mismatch). Fix: parent menu hook stays at priority 10; board submenu
-  hook moves to priority 11, guaranteeing `add_menu_page()` fires first. Board is
-  kept as the first submenu item via explicit `$submenu` reorder in
-  `PRAutoBlogger_Board_Page::on_register_menu()`.
-- **Regression test added:** `tests/unit/Admin/BoardMenuRegistrationTest.php` —
-  three assertions covering priority relationship, execution order, and parent-slug
-  correctness. Includes a "documents the bug" test that fires the unfixed hook order
-  to prove the broken state.

-## Hidden Admin Pages (v0.19.3 convention, codified after two incidents)
-
-### Rule: use options.php as parent; NEVER unset/remove registered pages from $submenu
-
-When a WordPress admin page must be accessible by URL but hidden from the nav menu, use the
-**options.php-parent pattern** exclusively:
-
-```php
-add_submenu_page(
-    'options.php',                     // parent: built-in WP page; pages hidden by construction
-    __( 'My Page', 'prautoblogger' ),  // page title
-    __( 'My Page', 'prautoblogger' ),  // menu title (never shown; options.php is hidden)
-    'manage_options',                  // capability
-    'my-page-slug',                    // page slug
-    array( $this, 'render_page' ),     // callback
-);
-// No $submenu manipulation. options.php-parent pages are hidden from nav by construction.
-```
-
-The resulting hookname is `admin_page_my-page-slug` at BOTH registration time and request time.
-
-### Why the hide-by-unset pattern causes 403 (the incident class)
-
-WordPress computes the page hookname at two distinct moments:
-
-**Registration time** (inside `add_submenu_page`):
-WP resolves the parent slug against `$admin_page_hooks`. If found, hookname = `{parent_key}_page_{slug}`. WP registers the render callback and `$_registered_pages` entry under that name.
-
-**Request time** (inside `wp-admin/admin.php`):
-WP calls `get_admin_page_parent()` which scans `$submenu` for the page slug. If found, it derives the hookname the same way as (1). If **not found** (e.g., because the entry was unset), it falls back to `admin_page_{slug}`.
-
-When these two hooknames diverge, WP dispatches the request to a hookname with no registered callback → `wp_die(403)`.
-
-**Why options.php avoids this:** `options.php` is a built-in page that WordPress always keeps intact in `$admin_page_hooks` and `$submenu`. For its children, `get_admin_page_parent()` returns `options.php` consistently at both moments, so both produce `admin_page_{slug}`. No mutation required.
-
-### Incident history
-
-| Version | Symptom | Root cause | Fix |
-|---------|---------|------------|-----|
-| v0.19.1 | Board page 404 | Board submenu registered at same priority as parent (both 10) — add_submenu_page fired before add_menu_page → wrong hookname at registration time | Board moved to priority 11, after parent at 10 |
-| v0.19.3 | Dossier page 403 | Dossier registered under `prautoblogger-settings` parent (priority 12, after parent ✓) but post-registration `unset($submenu[...])` removed the slug → get_admin_page_parent() returned false at request time → orphan `admin_page_*` hookname → no handler → 403 | Switched to `options.php` parent; removed all $submenu mutation |
-
-Both incidents are in the same **hookname-mismatch class**: registration-time hookname ≠ request-time hookname.
-
-### Test pattern
-
-The `DossierMenuRegistrationTest::test_request_time_hookname_matches_registration_hookname` test
-replicates the request-time resolution algorithm (scan `$submenu` for the slug; if found derive
-hookname; if absent return `admin_page_*`) and asserts it equals the registration-time hookname.
-This test FAILS on hide-by-unset implementations and passes on the options.php-parent pattern.
-Apply the same test strategy to any new hidden admin page.
-
-### Asset enqueue gate
-
-For `options.php`-parent pages, the hook suffix passed to `admin_enqueue_scripts` is
-`admin_page_{slug}`. For plugin-parent pages it would be `{parent_key}_page_{slug}`. Always
-match the asset enqueue gate to the actual hookname for the chosen parent pattern:
-

- *   → WP recomputes hookname in the 'admin_page_*' orphan namespace

- * phpcs:ignore WordPress.Files.FileName.InvalidClassFileName -- class naming convention differs from WordPress standard
- *
- * Chained-cron checkpoint runner for in-admin manual article generation (v0.21.0, M4).
- *
- * What: Replaces the monolithic on_manual_generation() path with a two-tick
- *       checkpoint machine so Hostinger's background-PHP-process kill cannot
- *       abort a mid-pipeline run:
- *         Tick 1 (ORCHESTRATE): collect sources -> analyze patterns -> score ideas ->
- *                                persist idea queue to option -> schedule Tick 2.
- *         Tick 2..N (GENERATE): pop one idea from queue -> Article_Worker ->
- *                                update transient -> schedule next tick or finalize.
- *
- * Why separate from Rerun_Executor: Rerun_Executor targets existing run_stages
- * rows (replay/rebuild). This class creates a brand-new run from scratch.
- *
- * SSH retirement (v0.21.0): the former `wp eval 'do_action("prautoblogger_manual_generation")'`
- * workaround fired on_manual_generation() synchronously in one PHP process --
- * bypassing the nonce and running the full pipeline without checkpoints.
- * That path is retired: Executor::on_manual_generation() now delegates here,
- * and `wp prautoblogger generate` queues via kick_off() (see ARCHITECTURE.md ss25).
- *
- * Cost governor: Run_State::ceiling_setting() is applied per-run; a halted run
- * aborts all remaining ticks (same guarantee as Pipeline_Runner's queued-article path).
- *
- * Who triggers it: PRAutoBlogger_Executor::on_manual_generation() (cron),
- *                  PRAutoBlogger_WP_CLI_Commands (wp prautoblogger generate).
- * Dependencies: Pipeline_Runner (orchestration), Run_State (run ledger),

- *       Two row kinds, discriminated by `source`:

- *         scope — there is deliberately no UPDATE path in this class, so
- *         originals (and earlier forks) can never be overwritten (CPO
- *         guardrail 1; the executed original lives untouched in
- *         generation_log.request_json).
- *       - 'seed': the serialized Article_Idea persisted at worker start
- *         (stage='', version=1). Re-run-from-here reconstructs the EXACT
- *         idea from it — rebuilding the idea from post fields would risk
- *         an item_key hash mismatch (post_title is sanitized at insert)
- *         and a duplicate post.
- *       Self-healing: every method no-ops (null/false/empty) when the
- *       table is missing (half-migrated schema).
- *       Retention: human fork bodies are NULLed by the run-reaper after
- *       R days (same setting as all heavy payloads); seed rows are ~1KB
- *       structural state and are kept.
- * Who triggers it: Dossier_Actions (save fork), Rerun_Executor (read fork

- *       place downstream rebuilds read from) and a generation_log row
- *       is written with the replayed request body.
- *
- *       options_from_body() is the exact inverse of Request_Builder::
- *       build_body() + apply_reasoning_budget(): the v0.18.1 reasoning
- *       headroom is subtracted back out (the builder re-adds it), and

- *       body had none — so a later change to the global reasoning
- *       setting can never alter the replay's shape.

- *       (after eligibility re-validation, lock, reopen, restart and

- * Tests for Board submenu registration order and hook-suffix correctness.
- *
- * Root-cause regression guard for the v0.19.1 hotfix:
- * Board submenu was registered at admin_menu priority 10 BEFORE the parent
- * top-level menu page (also priority 10), causing WordPress to record the
- * render callback under the fallback hookname `admin_page_prautoblogger-board`
- * instead of the correct `prautoblogger_page_prautoblogger-board`.
- * At request time WP recomputes the hookname and finds nothing -> wp_die 404.
- *
- * ## Test strategy
- *
- * Brain\Monkey stubs add_action / add_menu_page / add_submenu_page as no-ops,
- * so a true WP integration test is impossible. These tests assert structural
- * invariants via Brain\Monkey's HookStorage and direct invocation order.
- *
- * ### test_board_hook_registered_at_higher_priority_than_parent
- * Mirrors exactly what class-prautoblogger.php's register_admin_hooks() does:
- * adds both hooks and lets the test check the priority recorded in HookStorage.
- * - FAILS on origin/main (both add_action calls at default priority 10).
- * - PASSES after fix (board at priority 11, parent at priority 10).
- * This test is the true regression guard: revert to both-at-10 = test fails.

- * Calls on_register_menu() in the FIXED (parent-first) order and asserts
- * add_menu_page fires before add_submenu_page.

- * ### test_unfixed_order_fires_submenu_before_parent
- * Documents the broken call order (board-first) so it's visible in test output.

-/**
- * Tests for Dossier admin page hookname faithfulness — request-time mechanism.
- *
- * ## Why the v0.19.2 hide-by-unset pattern caused a 403
- *
- * WordPress computes a page's hook suffix at TWO separate moments:
- *
- * 1. Registration time (inside add_submenu_page):
- *    WP resolves the parent slug against $admin_page_hooks. If found, the hookname
- *    becomes "{parent_key}_page_{slug}" (e.g. "prautoblogger_page_prautoblogger-dossier").
- *
- * 2. Request time (inside wp-admin/admin.php):
- *    WP calls get_admin_page_parent() which scans $submenu for the slug. If not found
- *    (because it was unset post-registration), it falls back to "admin_page_{slug}".
- *
- * When these two hooknames diverge, the render callback lives under name-A but WP
- * dispatches to name-B -- no handler found -- wp_die(403).
- *
- * The fix: options.php-parent guarantees "admin_page_{slug}" at BOTH moments.
- * No $submenu mutation is needed or permitted.
- *
- * ## Discriminator function: simulate_request_time_hookname
- *
- * Replicates get_admin_page_parent() + hookname derivation in wp-admin/admin.php.
- * Returns different hooknames for hide-by-unset vs options.php-parent, making the
- * 403 divergence mechanically verifiable in a unit test.
- *
- * Structural invariant tests (parent slug, URL shape, priority) live in
- * DossierMenuRegistrationTest.
- *
- * @see DossierMenuRegistrationTest -- structural invariants + deep-link URLs + priority.
- * @see ARCHITECTURE.md             -- §22b (hidden admin page convention).
- * @see CONVENTIONS.md              -- §Hidden Admin Pages.
