Reasoning models at high effort could spend the entire max_tokens budget on thinking and return zero visible content with finish_reason=length; the empty article flowed writer -> editor (reject) -> empty draft post, with the cost booked as success (2026-06-11 incident: prod run acf24029, draft post 921; diagnosis: convo pipeline-v2-phase1 seq 12). - Empty-completion guard at the provider seam (new OpenRouter_Completion_Guard): empty/whitespace content is a failure; one retry with reasoning disabled (per-call override) when finish_reason=length or reasoning was active, then the stage fails. - finish_reason=length always warning-logged (model, stage, tokens). - Failed/retried attempts booked to generation_log with response_status=error + real token burn; run_decisions verdict rows (retry_reasoning_disabled / failed_empty_completion) for v0.18.0 runs. - Writer-path guard in Content_Generator::execute_stage and belt-and-braces empty check in Publisher::create_post. - Reasoning budget sanity: reasoning.max_tokens cap + completion headroom via new prautoblogger_reasoning_max_tokens setting (default constant 2048, 0 = legacy uncapped effort mode); cap replaces effort when active; governor reservations use the effective ceiling. - Body assembly moved to Request_Builder::build_body (300-line cap). - Tests: guard verdict matrix, builder budget shaping, writer/publisher guards, full provider retry path.

It uses AI to analyze these patterns, generate well-structured blog articles, run them through an editorial review agent, and publish them on a configurable daily schedule. **Key Features:** * Reddit integration for topic research (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube planned) * Configurable AI-powered writing pipeline (single-pass or multi-step) * Chief editor agent reviews content before publishing * Full cost tracking with monthly budget limits * Google Analytics 4 integration for performance metrics * Self-improvement loop: learns from high-performing content * Encrypted API key storage **Supported LLM Providers:** Uses OpenRouter for access to models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, and more. == Installation == 1. Upload the `prautoblogger` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to PRAutoBlogger > Settings to configure your API key and preferences. 4. Add your OpenRouter API key. 5. Configure your target subreddits and content preferences. 6. Click "Test Connections" to verify setup (Reddit sources use RSS — no API key needed). 7. Click "Generate Now" for your first article, or wait for the daily schedule. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How much does it cost to run? = Costs depend on your chosen models and article volume. With default settings (Claude Haiku for analysis, Claude Sonnet for writing, 1 article/day), expect roughly $0.05-0.15 per article. The plugin includes a monthly budget hard-stop to prevent overspending. = Can I review articles before they publish? = By default, articles go through the chief editor agent. Articles that pass review are auto-published. Articles that fail review are saved as drafts for manual review. = Do I need a Reddit API key? = No. PRAutoBlogger uses Reddit RSS feeds as its primary data source, with Reddit .json endpoints as a fallback. Both are free and require no authentication. You only need an OpenRouter API key for the AI models. == Changelog == = 0.2.0 = * Reddit data source uses RSS feeds (primary) with .json endpoints as fallback — no API key needed. * Removed Reddit Client ID/Secret fields from admin settings. * Added source status indicator showing RSS and .json fallback availability. * Added configurable research cache TTL, time window, and posts-per-subreddit settings. * Updated Test Connections to show which Reddit source is active. * Fixed deployment pipeline to purge LiteSpeed cache after deploy. = 0.1.0 = * Initial release with Reddit source, OpenRouter LLM, and full content pipeline.
