 PRAutoBlogger is a WordPress plugin that monitors social media (starting with Reddit) for recurring questions, complaints, and comparisons in a configured niche, uses LLM agents (via OpenRouter) to generate high-quality blog articles from those insights, runs them through a chief editor agent for quality review, and auto-publishes them on a configurable daily schedule. All collected data and generation metrics are stored for a self-improvement feedback loop.

-- ADR log scaffolded: `docs/adr/` created as the app-local decision log for this plugin; `docs/adr/README.md` is the index; ADR-0001 documents the v0.16.0 editorial illustration image-style pivot. `ARCHITECTURE.md` updated to point to the folder. No runtime changes; docs-only.
 - 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.
 
-## [0.22.1] - 2026-06-22
-
-### Added
-- **`wp prautoblogger generate --sync`** (VPS orchestrator mode): runs the full
-  checkpoint pipeline synchronously in the calling process — acquires lock, calls
-  `on_orchestrate_tick()` in-process, then loops `on_generate_tick()` until the
-  queue is empty or a terminal state is reached (max 20 ticks). Exits 0 on
-  success with a JSON summary line; exits 1 on error. Designed to be called from
-  the Coolify VPS over a held-open SSH session, where Hostinger's ~10-min
-  background-process kill does not apply.
-
-### Fixed
-- **`$sync_mode` guard in `Generation_Checkpoint_Runner::on_generate_tick()`**:
-  when running under `--sync`, the internal `wp_schedule_single_event()` +
-  `fire_cron_now()` reschedule is suppressed so the VPS's external loop cannot
-  race with a competing background wp-cron tick. Existing async (cron/AJAX) paths
-  are unaffected.
-- **Reaper timezone fix** in `Run_Reaper::sweep_stuck_stages()` and
-  `sweep_stuck_runs()`: `$cutoff` was computed with `gmdate()` (UTC) while
-  `updated_at` is stored via `current_time('mysql')` (server local time, UTC+8).
-  Changed to `wp_date()` so the cutoff respects the site timezone. On this host
-  the 8-hour delta could suppress reaping of a same-day-stalled run; the 44h-old
-  run `ee6e7d91` was already far outside the threshold and unaffected.
-- **Scoped self-heal migration** in `DB_Migrations`: restores the low-stakes
-  maintenance cron events (`prautoblogger_reap_orphan_research_rows`,
-  `prautoblogger_collect_metrics`, `prautoblogger_sync_runware_models`) that
-  vanished after the 06-15 deploy cycle. **`prautoblogger_daily_generation` is
-  deliberately NOT re-registered** — the VPS systemd timer owns generation
-  scheduling as of v0.22.1. Note: wp-cron reliability on this Hostinger host is
-  suspect (background PHP killed ~10 min); maintenance crons are low-stakes and
-  acceptable on this transport; generation is not.
-- **Sync-mode guard tests** (QA NF-1 remediation 2026-06-23): moved sync-mode
-  tests to `GenerationCheckpointRunnerSyncModeTest.php`; fixed
-  `test_orchestrate_tick_in_sync_mode_does_not_schedule_background_event` to
-  return >= 1 idea from `orchestrate_only()` so execution reaches the sync guard
-  at line ~181 (was vacuous -- previous stub returned `[]` causing early return);
-  added `test_generate_tick_sync_mode_suppresses_reschedule` for the
-  `on_generate_tick()` guard; async regression test preserved in same file.
-- **Root `CONTEXT.md`**: created domain glossary (run/run_stages/checkpoint/
-  idea-queue/Generation_Lock) and execution mode comparison (async wp-cron vs.
-  `--sync` VPS).
-- **`ARCHITECTURE.md` SS25**: added `WP-CLI (sync / VPS)` row to Entry Points table.

-
-Quick reference for the generation pipeline domain model. For full design rationale
-see `ARCHITECTURE.md` (§21–§25) and `CONVENTIONS.md`.
-
----
-
-## Core Domain Terms
-
-**run**
-A single end-to-end article generation cycle: orchestrate → generate idea(s) →
-finalize. Represented as a row in `wp_prautoblogger_runs` (status, cost ceiling,
-timestamps). One run may produce multiple articles if the daily idea-count > 1.
-
-**run\_stages** (`wp_prautoblogger_run_stages`)
-Sub-steps within a run (research, analysis, generation, publish). Each stage has
-its own status and can be replayed independently via `Rerun_Executor`. Generation
-checkpoint runs populate stages as Article_Worker progresses.
-
-**checkpoint**
-The persistence boundary between pipeline ticks. After each tick the idea queue
-and run state are written to `wp_options` so a process kill cannot lose work. The
-next tick reads the queue option and continues. See §25 of ARCHITECTURE.md.
-
-**idea queue** (`prautoblogger_article_queue` option)
-Serialized array of `Article_Idea` objects written by `on_orchestrate_tick()` and
-consumed one-at-a-time by successive `on_generate_tick()` calls. Deleted on
-finalize or cleanup.
-
-**Generation\_Lock** (`wp_prautoblogger_generation_lock` or `wp_options`)
-DB mutex that prevents two concurrent runs. Acquired at the start of
-`on_orchestrate_tick()`, released by `Helpers::finalize()` or on error/halt.
-
----
-
-## Execution Modes
-
-### Async (wp-cron driven)
-
-Default path for the Board "New Article" button and the plain
-`wp prautoblogger generate` WP-CLI command.
-
-1. `kick_off()` schedules `prautoblogger_gen_orchestrate` and calls `fire_cron_now()`.
-2. `on_orchestrate_tick()` runs in a background PHP process, schedules
-   `prautoblogger_gen_tick`, and calls `fire_cron_now()` to spawn the next process.
-3. Each `on_generate_tick()` spawns the next until the queue drains.
-
-Limitation: Hostinger kills background PHP processes at ~10 min. Orchestrate tick
-(LLM-free) and individual generate ticks (one LLM call each) are both well within
-this limit; the checkpoint design is the mitigation.
-
-### Sync (VPS-driven / `--sync`)
-
-Used by the Coolify KVM8 VPS systemd timer via `infra/vps/orchestrate-generation.sh`
-in `peptide-e2e`. Introduced v0.22.1.
-
-1. `run_sync()` sets `Generation_Checkpoint_Runner::$sync_mode = true`.
-2. Calls `on_orchestrate_tick()` **in-process** (no background spawn).
-3. Loops calling `on_generate_tick()` directly until queue empty or terminal state.
-4. `$sync_mode = true` suppresses all `wp_schedule_single_event` +
-   `fire_cron_now` calls inside both tick methods, preventing a competing
-   background cron chain from forming in parallel.
-
-The VPS SSH session is held open; the process is not subject to Hostinger's
-background-kill constraint.
-

-
-## Table Shorthand
-
-Throughout the codebase `wp_prautoblogger_*` tables are referenced by their
-`$wpdb->` property names (e.g. `$wpdb->prab_runs`, `$wpdb->prab_run_stages`).
-Full table names are defined in `class-activator.php`.

-- **Deciders:** CTO, Engineer PRAutoBlogger

-  `docs/proposals/2026-05-29-image-pipeline-in-plugin-brief.md`;
-  ARCHITECTURE.md §#21 (v0.17.0 deterministic composer, the follow-on commit)
-
----
-
-## Context
-
-PRAutoBlogger generates two AI images (A/B pair) for each article and publishes
-them as featured images. From the initial comic-strip launch (commit b17ed47,
-`feat: switch to single-panel newspaper comic style for article images`) through
-v0.15.x, the image style was a **single-panel newspaper comic** — the rewriter
-LLM was asked to produce a comic gag or visual pun, and the result was appended
-to a style suffix and sent to the diffusion model.
-
-By April 2026 two problems had accumulated:
-
-1. **Text legibility.** Small diffusion models (FLUX.1 schnell is the default
-   since v0.9.0 at ~$0.0006/image) cannot reliably render readable text inside
-   an image. Comic panels depend on legible speech bubbles or captions burned
-   into the image; both were routinely garbled (confirmed in the 2026-04-21 A/B
-   finding documented in ARCHITECTURE.md §#21).
-
-2. **Caption path already existed.** A separate HTML caption below the image had
-   been extracted as early as commit 214f57b (`Separate comic captions from
-   generated images`, 2026-04-18). The scene/caption split in
-   `Image_Scene_Parser` was already live, meaning there was an established path
-   for readable text that did not depend on the diffusion model rendering it.
-
-Together these created pressure to stop asking the diffusion model to render
-text at all, and instead shift all readable copy to the HTML caption path that
-was already in place.
-
-## Decision drivers
-
-1. **Image quality on default model.** FLUX.1 schnell (the default since v0.9.0)
-   produces garbled text in generated images. A style that depends on readable
-   in-image text degrades silently on the model we actually ship.
-2. **Editorial trust signal.** Peptide Repo's editorial direction is
-   science-informational; comic gags undercut the authority the site needs for
-   health-adjacent content.
-3. **Reuse the existing caption path.** The scene/caption split and HTML caption
-   path were already live; the change is a prompt rewrite + template substitution
-   with no new infrastructure.
-4. **Admin configurability.** The style suffix was a single string appended to
-   every prompt; a template with a named substitution token (`{{ topic_summary
-   }}`) is more maintainable and admin-overridable without a code deploy.
-5. **Cost and provider neutrality.** The change is prompt-only; provider, model,
-   and pricing are unchanged.
-
-## Options considered
-
-### Option A — Keep the comic style, fix text rendering per-model
-
-Ask the rewriter LLM to omit text from comic panels (no speech bubbles, no
-caption burns), and describe a visual scene instead. Keep the style suffix
-pattern.
-
-**Pros:**
-- Minimal code change — just a prompt edit.
-- Comic aesthetic is recognisable and differentiating.
-
-**Cons:**
-- Does not solve the underlying mismatch: the style suffix is a static string
-  that gives no per-article context to the diffusion model. The rewriter scene
-  still has no slot to insert topic-specific imagery.
-- Comic gags require the LLM to invent a joke per peptide, which is inconsistent
-  in tone.
-- Comic aesthetic conflicts with the editorial trust direction for health content.
-
-### Option B — Pivot to text-free editorial scientific illustration + template substitution (chosen)
-
-Change the rewriter system prompt so the LLM emits a concise 1-2 sentence
-topic/mechanism summary as the SCENE — one concrete centered focal subject, no
-text, no people-as-gag, no logos. Replace the style suffix with an editable
-template (`prautoblogger_image_style_template`) that contains a single
-`{{ topic_summary }}` token filled per-article by
-`PRAutoBlogger_Image_Template_Filler`. The CAPTION line from the scene/caption
-split continues to flow to the HTML-caption-below-image path unchanged.
-
-**Pros:**
-- Diffusion model is never asked to render text; garbled-text failures are
-  eliminated.
-- The editorial scientific illustration style is consistent with the site's
-  authority positioning.
-- Template substitution gives admins a single editable field to control the
-  entire visual style without touching the per-article rewriter logic.
-- Degradation is explicit: missing token → append + warning; empty summary →
-  style-only prompt; a blank prompt is never sent to the provider.
-- Provider, model, and cost are unchanged.
-
-**Cons:**
-- Breaks the comic gag aesthetic for any site running PRAutoBlogger in a
-  context where that was intentional (low risk for this deployment).
-- The old `prautoblogger_image_style_suffix` option must be migrated
-  (handled via one-time migration `prautoblogger_migrated_style_template_v0160`
-  and mirroring to `_deprecated` for one cycle).
-
-### Option C — Generate text overlays in PHP (deterministic composer only)
-
-Skip the style change; solve legibility by compositing text onto images in PHP
-after the diffusion model runs.
-
-**Pros:**
-- Diffusion model input is unchanged (comic style preserved).
-- Composited text is always readable regardless of model.
-
-**Cons:**
-- Compositing a comic-style gag is much harder than compositing a caption band
-  (arbitrary layout vs. a fixed panel at the bottom).
-- Does not address the editorial direction mismatch.
-- The deterministic PHP composer (ARCHITECTURE.md §#21) was already planned as
-  a follow-on commit specifically for OG/social variants — pursuing it as the
-  sole fix conflates two separate problems.
-
-## Decision
-
-**Option B** — pivot to text-free editorial scientific illustration with
-caption-as-HTML and template substitution.
-
-This was shipped as v0.16.0 (2026-05-29, PR #146, commit d00e746). The changes
-are entirely in the prompt layer:
-
-- `Image_Prompt_Builder::REWRITER_SYSTEM_PROMPT` now asks for a concise
-  topic/mechanism SCENE and keeps the CAPTION line for the HTML path.
-- `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Template_Filler::fill()` replaces the old
-  `trim($scene . ' ' . $style_suffix)` concat at all three entry points
-  (`build_article_prompt`, `build_source_prompt`, `build_fallback_prompt`).
-- New admin setting `prautoblogger_image_style_template` with
-  single-token validation replaces the Style Suffix field.
-- One-time migration preserves the old suffix value for one cycle.
-
-The deterministic PHP composer for OG/social branding (ARCHITECTURE.md §#21)
-was deliberately deferred to a follow-on commit (v0.17.0, #152) so that the
-prompt-only change could ship and be verified first.
-
-## Consequences
-
-**Accepted benefits:**
-- Garbled-text image failures are eliminated on the default FLUX.1 schnell model.
-- The editorial scientific illustration style is consistent with the site's
-  health-content positioning and sustainable across future model changes.
-- The template + token pattern makes style updates admin-configurable without
-  code changes.
-
-**Accepted costs:**
-- The comic aesthetic is gone and cannot be restored by toggling a setting;
-  switching back requires a prompt and template change.
-- The `prautoblogger_image_style_suffix` option is deprecated; the migration
-  runs once on upgrade and the old option is not deleted until a future cycle.
-
-**Follow-up created:**
-- ARCHITECTURE.md §#21 (v0.17.0): deterministic PHP image composer to composite
-  branded OG and square card variants — necessary because the social/OG image
-  travels without the HTML caption and therefore needs text burned in by PHP,
-  not by the diffusion model.
