cf-removal: move PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL define to test bootstrap

On v0.9.0 this constant was implicitly defined by CloudflareImageProviderTest::setUp()
— deleted in this PR. OpenRouterImagePricingTest relied on PHPUnit's alphabetical
file order (C before O) to have the constant defined before its assertion.
Deleting the CF test broke that chain; OR pricing test errored with 'Undefined
constant "PRAutoBlogger\\Tests\\Providers\\PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL"'.

Fix: hoist the define into tests/bootstrap.php alongside the other
PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_* constants. No test ordering dependency remains.

Orphans that still have no siblings after 7 days are deleted outright as sunk cost.

-### #16: Image generation via Cloudflare Workers AI (FLUX.1), direct (not via AI Gateway)
+### #17: Runware as default image backend (v0.9.0, Apr 2026)
-The image-generation layer (started 2026-04-15, tracked in `convo/prautoblogger/threads/2026-04-image-pipeline/`) uses FLUX.1 [schnell] on Cloudflare Workers AI as its default model, chosen for its ~$0.0011/MP cost and 2–3 sec latency. FLUX.1 [dev] is a ~4× cost upgrade exposed as a dropdown for specific posts that warrant it. Calls go directly to `https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{id}/ai/run/@cf/black-forest-labs/...`, *not* through the Cloudflare AI Gateway that we use for OpenRouter — the gateway route to Workers AI currently 403s (pre-existing open issue). The provider lives behind `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Provider_Interface`, so the decision is trivially reversible: switching to a different image API (DALL-E, Replicate, a future AI Gateway route) is a new class implementation plus a one-line swap in the pipeline wiring. Trade-off: we run two different Cloudflare integration paths (gateway for OpenRouter LLMs, direct for Workers AI images) until the gateway route stabilizes — minor cognitive overhead, zero functional downside.
+
+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).
+
+### #16: Image generation via Cloudflare Workers AI (FLUX.1) — SUPERSEDED v0.10.0
+Kept here for history. Until v0.8.2 the default image backend was FLUX.1 schnell on Cloudflare Workers AI, routed via the Cloudflare AI Gateway for caching + unified telemetry. In v0.9.0 (2026-04-21) Runware FLUX.1 schnell became the default (65× cheaper, see ADR #17). In v0.10.0 (2026-04-21) the Cloudflare Workers AI provider was removed entirely — classes, settings, tests, and registry entries are gone; any CF user is migrated to `runware:100@1` on upgrade via `PRAutoBlogger_Migrate_Remove_Cloudflare_V0100::run()`. The Cloudflare AI Gateway in front of OpenRouter (ADR #15) is unaffected — it is a distinct integration.
+
 
 ### #15: Optional Cloudflare AI Gateway in front of OpenRouter
 We already use Cloudflare for DNS/CDN on peptiderepo.com, so layering AI Gateway in front of OpenRouter is zero marginal infrastructure. It gives us response caching (meaningful for repeated classification/scoring calls), a unified cost/latency dashboard, rate limiting, and provider fallback — all of which we would otherwise have to build ourselves to satisfy the CTO cost-tracking rules. Kept as an opt-in URL setting (`prautoblogger_ai_gateway_base_url`) so the plugin still works unchanged out of the box and can be bypassed instantly if the gateway misbehaves. The gateway is a transparent OpenRouter-compatible proxy; no new provider class is needed, and the response parsing path (`usage`, `choices[0].message.content`) is unchanged.

+## [0.10.0] — 2026-04-21
+
+### Removed
+
+- **Cloudflare Workers AI as image provider.** The four `class-cloudflare-image-*`
+  provider files are gone along with their unit tests and the three
+  CF-specific options (`prautoblogger_cloudflare_ai_token`,
+  `prautoblogger_cloudflare_account_id`, `prautoblogger_cf_image_via_gateway`).
+  Runware FLUX.1 schnell produces equivalent-quality output at ~65×
+  less cost and eliminates a duplicated settings surface. The
+  `flux-1-schnell` registry entry that mapped to the CF provider is
+  removed; the legacy slug now resolves to an empty provider (caught
+  by the migration).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Sites on any `cloudflare` image provider auto-migrate to
+  `runware:100@1` on upgrade.** New migration
+  `PRAutoBlogger_Migrate_Remove_Cloudflare_V0100::run()` runs from
+  `admin_init` once per site. Detects three legacy shapes: registry-
+  derived provider `cloudflare`, `prautoblogger_image_provider` option
+  set to `cloudflare`, or the legacy slug `flux-1-schnell`. Sets
+  `prautoblogger_image_provider` + `prautoblogger_image_model` to the
+  Runware schnell pair and deletes the three dead CF options. Idempotent
+  via `prautoblogger_migrated_remove_cloudflare_v0100` flag — running
+  twice is a no-op and will not clobber a post-migration manual choice.
+- **Image provider dispatch fallback is now Runware, not Cloudflare.**
+  `PRAutoBlogger_Image_Pipeline::create_default_provider()` returns
+  `PRAutoBlogger_Runware_Image_Provider` for any unrecognised
+  `prautoblogger_image_provider` value. An unmigrated install still
+  gets a working pipeline instead of a fatal.
+
+### Note
+
+- **Cloudflare AI Gateway fronting OpenRouter is unaffected.** The
+  `prautoblogger_ai_gateway_base_url` + `prautoblogger_ai_gateway_cache_ttl`
+  options, their settings fields, `class-open-router-config.php`
+  gateway resolution, and `class-open-router-request-builder.php`
+  `cf-aig-cache-ttl` headers are all intentionally untouched. The AI
+  Gateway is a proxy/cache layer in front of OpenRouter and is
+  orthogonal to the CF Workers AI image provider removal. The
+  migration test asserts this invariant explicitly.
+
+### Cost impact
+
+Zero recurring spend from CF Workers AI image generation (the
+peptiderepo.com install was still on CF as recently as v0.8.2 — see
+commit `80a7e11`). No new prompt tokens, no change in model mix for
+sites already on Runware or OpenRouter.
+
+### Migration checklist (for anyone else running this plugin)
+
+1. On first admin_init after upgrade, the migration will flip
+   `prautoblogger_image_provider` to `runware` and
+   `prautoblogger_image_model` to `runware:100@1` if you were on CF.
+2. **Set `prautoblogger_runware_api_key`** in Settings → Images if you
+   hadn't already — image generation will fail until it is set.
+3. The CF API token + account ID options are deleted by the migration;
+   you don't need to do anything.
+4. If you want to switch back to OpenRouter (Gemini) instead of
+   Runware, just change the Image Model picker after the migration
+   has run.
+
+## [0.9.0] — 2026-04-21
+
+### Added
+
+- **Runware (FLUX.1 schnell) as the default image provider.** New
+  provider at `includes/providers/class-runware-image-*` generates
+  ~$0.0006/image on FLUX.1 schnell (`runware:100@1`) — roughly 65× cheaper
+  than the previous default (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image via OpenRouter at
+  ~$0.039/image). FLUX.1 dev (`runware:101@1`, ~$0.02/image) is also
+  available for higher-fidelity runs. The provider mirrors the
+  OpenRouter split: interface + provider + support + pricing + batch,
+  all under the 300-line cap.
+- **True parallel image generation.** `PRAutoBlogger_Runware_Image_Batch`
+  uses `curl_multi_init/exec/select` to fire all imageInference POSTs
+  concurrently, then downloads the signed URLs concurrently. Wall-clock
+  for the A/B pair drops to ≈ the slowest single image instead of the
+  sum of both.
+- **v0.9.0 one-time migration.** Sites where the image model is empty
+  or still pinned to `google/gemini-2.5-flash-image` are auto-flipped
+  to `runware:100@1` on upgrade, with the provider re-derived from the
+  registry. Flag: `prautoblogger_migrated_default_image_v090`. The
+  Runware API key option (`prautoblogger_runware_api_key`) was added
+  to the `enc:`-prefix migration list so Settings writes go through
+  the same encryption-at-rest path as the other provider keys.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Image prompt builder steered away from abstract/chemical subjects.**
+  The rewriter system prompt now explicitly refuses to personify
+  molecules, peptides, hormones, or proteins — FLUX (and most diffusion
+  image models) render "anthropomorphic peptide" as an incoherent blob.
+  Default scene guidance is now "concrete, human-scale scenes: people
+  reacting to things, doctors and patients, gym bros with vials, etc."
+  Style suffix unchanged — single-panel comic aesthetic preserved. See
+  `includes/core/class-image-prompt-builder.php::REWRITER_SYSTEM_PROMPT`.
+- **Default image model flipped to `runware:100@1` (FLUX.1 schnell).**
+  `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PROVIDER` and
+  `PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL` constants in `prautoblogger.php`
+  updated. Cloudflare flux-1-schnell remains in the registry as a legacy
+  fallback for any operators who set it explicitly. Rationale:
+  `image-style` memory (2026-04-21) — schnell passed the comic A/B
+  round and the cost delta funds more generations for the same monthly
+  budget.
+
+### Cost impact
+
+At 50 articles/day × 2 image A/B = 100 images/day:
+
+- Before (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image via OpenRouter): ≈ $3.90/day, ≈ $117/mo
+- After (FLUX.1 schnell via Runware):             ≈ $0.06/day, ≈ $1.80/mo
+
+Net saving: ~$115/mo at current traffic, funded by a single provider
+swap with no user-visible change in article quality.
+
+## [0.8.2] — 2026-04-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Daily generation schedule now honors site timezone.** Previously
+  the time configured in Settings → Schedule was interpreted as UTC
+  (WordPress core forces `date_default_timezone_set('UTC')`), causing
+  runs to fire N hours off from user intent where N is the site's UTC
+  offset. On peptiderepo.com (Asia/Singapore, UTC+8), a `schedule_time`
+  of `06:00` fired at 14:00 local. An on-upgrade one-shot migration
+  (`prautoblogger_migrated_schedule_tz_v082`) reschedules the existing
+  daily cron in the site's configured timezone — no user action
+  required.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Cloudflare Workers AI image calls now route through the AI Gateway
+  by default.** The 2026-04-15 regression that caused the gateway route
+  to 403 on Workers AI has been resolved upstream. Routing via the
+  gateway gives us response caching, unified cost/latency dashboard,
+  and rate limiting for free, mirroring the OpenRouter LLM path. A new
+  admin toggle `prautoblogger_cf_image_via_gateway` (default on) lets
+  operators force direct-API if the gateway route regresses again,
+  without clearing the gateway URL setting the LLM provider depends on.
+- **"Generation Time" settings description** now names the site's
+  configured timezone explicitly (from `wp_timezone_string()`) instead
+  of the ambiguous "server timezone" label — operators can see at a
+  glance which zone their input is being interpreted in.
+
+## [0.8.1] — 2026-04-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Orphaned LLM research costs now reaped daily.** When a pipeline died
+  between post creation and the final cost-amortization step (e.g.
+  execution-time kill on shared hosting), the `llm_research` row stayed
+  unlinked and the affected articles' cost popovers understated true spend.
+  A new daily cron (`prautoblogger_reap_orphan_research_rows`, 03:15
+  server time) retroactively amortizes orphan rows against posts from
+  the same run. Includes a one-time activator migration to back-populate
+  `_prautoblogger_run_id` post_meta for existing posts.
+- **GA4 Property ID admin description corrected.** The field description
+  previously instructed users to enter `properties/XXXXXXXXX`, but the
+  GA4 client already prepends the `properties/` URL segment internally —
+  a double-prefixed value would 404. Description now asks for the digits
+  only, matching actual code behavior.
+
+### Added
+
+- New WP-CLI command `wp prautoblogger reap-research` for manual reaping
+  and ops debugging.
+- `Publisher::build_meta()` now writes `_prautoblogger_run_id` on every
+  generated post, so the reaper has a direct meta path from run_id to
+  sibling posts without walking `wp_prautoblogger_generation_log`.
+
