[Unreleased]

Added

• Image pipeline integration: wires image generation into article flow (commit 1b). Completes the image + Instagram A/B experiment workstream by adding three orchestration classes that generate and sideload two images per published post.

  • includes/core/class-image-pipeline.php — Orchestrates A/B image generation: generates Image A (article-driven prompt) as featured image and Image B (source-driven prompt) stored in post meta _prautoblogger_image_b_id. Each image is independently fallible; article publishes even if both fail.
  • includes/core/class-image-prompt-builder.php — Synthesizes visual prompts from article title + first paragraph (for Image A) and Reddit thread title + top comment (for Image B). Both prompts append the CEO-locked 90s infomercial style suffix from settings. Prompts kept concise (under 200 words) for FLUX.1 generation quality.
  • includes/core/class-image-media-sideloader.php — Downloads generated image bytes, creates temporary file, imports via media_handle_sideload(), sets alt text and generation metadata (_prautoblogger_image_*), cleans up temp files.
  • Settings: prautoblogger_image_enabled (toggle, default off) — allows users to enable/disable image generation after providing Cloudflare credentials.
  • PRAutoBlogger_Publisher::attach_generated_images() — New private method that runs the image pipeline post-creation and sets _thumbnail_id (Image A) and _prautoblogger_image_b_id (Image B) post meta. Errors are logged but do not block post publication.
  • Tests: tests/unit/Core/ImagePipelineTest.php (orchestration, cost tracking, graceful failure modes), tests/unit/Core/ImagePromptBuilderTest.php (prompt generation from various article/source shapes, length limits).

• ARCHITECTURE.md: added new image pipeline step (6b) to data flow, three new files to core/ section of file tree.

• OpenRouter model registry (model-picker commit 1). Foundation for the smart model picker: fetches, normalizes, and caches the OpenRouter model list (/api/v1/models — free, unauthenticated). Daily refresh via the existing prautoblogger_daily_generation cron hook with 12h idempotency.

  • includes/services/interface-model-registry.php — Phase 3-aware contract.
  • includes/services/class-open-router-model-registry.php — fetch + cache + query.
  • includes/services/class-open-router-model-normalizer.php — raw → standardized shape.
  • Capability vocabulary: text→text, text+image→text, text→embedding, etc.
  • Zero-coupling: no PRAUTOBLOGGER_* constants inside the class — Phase 2 lift into a shared Composer package requires only a namespace rename.
  • Cost impact: $0/month (free endpoint, no LLM tokens).

• Image provider: Cloudflare Workers AI (FLUX.1 family). Ships the provider, its pricing + validator helpers, four new settings fields in a new "Images" admin section, and unit tests with mocked HTTP.

  • includes/providers/interface-image-provider.php — contract for any image provider.
  • includes/providers/class-cloudflare-image-provider.php — FLUX on Workers AI, direct call to /accounts/{id}/ai/run/... (bypassing AI Gateway per decision D-001); exponential-backoff retries on 429 / 5xx / network, loud fail on 4xx; handles both raw-bytes and JSON-envelope response shapes.
  • includes/providers/class-cloudflare-image-pricing.php — model alias → full Workers AI id resolution + per-megapixel cost estimation.
  • includes/providers/class-cloudflare-image-validator.php — non-destructive "Test Connection" credential check that never generates a real image.
  • Settings: prautoblogger_cloudflare_ai_token (encrypted), prautoblogger_cloudflare_account_id, prautoblogger_image_model (schnell / dev), prautoblogger_image_style_suffix (default = CEO-locked 90s infomercial prompt).
  • Constants: PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL, PRAUTOBLOGGER_DEFAULT_IMAGE_STYLE_SUFFIX.
  • Tests: tests/unit/Providers/CloudflareImageProviderTest.php.

• ARCHITECTURE.md: new key decision #16 (image pipeline: Cloudflare Workers AI), new external API integration row, new options rows, file tree updates.

• CONVENTIONS.md: new "How To: Add a New Image Provider" section.

[0.2.2] — 2026-04-12

Changed

• CI/CD pipeline now runs PHPCS and PHPUnit before deploying. Added shivammathur/setup-php@v2 for PHP 8.1, Composer install, WordPress Coding Standards check, and full PHPUnit test suite. PHPCS runs in report-only mode (|| true) while codebase is brought into full compliance; PHPUnit failures block deploy.
• Removed stub source providers (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube). These were dead code — not registered in Source_Collector, threw RuntimeException if enabled, and confused AI agents reading the codebase. The Source_Provider_Interface remains the contract for adding future platforms (see CONVENTIONS.md).
• Removed "coming soon" checkboxes from Enabled Sources setting.
• Updated ARCHITECTURE.md: removed stub file references, added cross-system LLM budget coordination section documenting how PRAutoBlogger and Peptide News share an OpenRouter account.

Improved

• PublisherTest rewritten with real behavioral assertions. Now tests: post_status ('publish' vs 'draft'), generation metadata storage, title from idea, taxonomy assignment, tag assignment, run_id-based log linking, RuntimeException on WP_Error, action/filter hook firing. Replaces previous method-existence-only checks.

[0.2.1] — 2026-04-12

Changed

• Reddit data source switched to RSS primary, .json fallback. PullPush.io was frequently stale/unavailable. Reddit RSS/Atom feeds work reliably from datacenter IPs (Hostinger) where .json gets 403. Comments are still fetched via .json (unavailable in RSS).
• Updated "Enabled Sources" checkbox label to "Reddit (RSS + .json)".
• Updated "Test Connections" to show RSS + .json status.
• Source status indicator now shows Reddit RSS (Primary) and .json (Fallback).

Removed

• class-pull-push-client.php — replaced by RSS feeds in class-reddit-json-client.php.
• All PullPush.io references from admin UI, docs, and provider code.

Fixed

• Generate Now button now always sends force: '1' to clear stale generation locks.
• Fixed encryption double-encryption bug with enc: prefix detection.

[0.2.0] — 2026-04-12

Changed

• Reddit data source migrated from OAuth to RSS + .json (no auth required). Reddit rejected our API application; RSS feeds and .json endpoints are free and require no authentication.
• Removed Reddit Client ID and Client Secret fields from admin API Keys tab.
• Updated "Test Connections" results to show Reddit source status.

Added

• Source status indicator in API Keys tab showing RSS and .json availability with live status dots and last-collection timestamp.
• Configurable research cache TTL (1–72 hours) in Sources tab.
• Reddit time window selector (24h / week / month) in Sources tab.
• Posts-per-subreddit limit (5–100) in Sources tab.
• LiteSpeed cache purge step in CI/CD deploy pipeline.

Removed

• class-reddit-api-client.php — replaced by class-reddit-json-client.php.
• Reddit OAuth credential fields and encrypted storage entry.

Fixed

• Deploy pipeline now purges LiteSpeed/OPcache after file extraction, preventing stale PHP bytecode from being served.

[0.1.0] — 2026-04-10

Added

• Initial plugin scaffold with WordPress-native architecture.
• OpenRouter LLM provider with configurable model selection and retry logic.
• Reddit API source provider (OAuth2 script app) for collecting posts and comments.
• Content analysis engine: detects recurring questions, complaints, and comparisons.
• Idea scorer with deduplication against existing posts.
• Configurable writer agent pipeline (single-pass or multi-step: outline → draft → polish).
• Chief editor agent for LLM-powered editorial review before publishing.
• Publisher with full generation metadata stored as post_meta.
• Cost tracker with per-call logging, monthly budget enforcement, and hard-stop.
• Metrics collector: WordPress native + GA4 integration + composite content scoring.
• Admin settings page with sections for API keys, models, content, sources, schedule, and analytics.
• Metrics dashboard showing monthly spend, budget utilization, cost by stage, and daily spend.
• Post metabox showing generation metadata on PRAutoBlogger-generated posts.
• Admin notices for missing API keys, budget warnings, and configuration hints.
• Stub providers for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube (future implementation).
• Encrypted storage for API keys using AES-256-CBC with wp_salt().
• AJAX-powered "Generate Now" and "Test Connections" buttons.
• Custom database tables for source data, analysis results, generation logs, and content scores.
• Clean uninstall handler removing all plugin data.
• ARCHITECTURE.md and CONVENTIONS.md for AI-readable codebase documentation.
