peptiderepo 0505e50e85 feat(images): expose rewriter system prompt as admin setting
CEO feedback: every generated image is anchoring on the cartoon
peptide-with-arms-and-legs character because the hardcoded rewriter
system prompt both lists "anthropomorphized molecules" first in its
primer and ships a few-shot example that literally shows one. The ask
is to give CEO the lever without a code change.

Adds `prautoblogger_image_prompt_instructions` (textarea) in the
Images section. Default value is the existing REWRITER_SYSTEM_PROMPT
constant verbatim, so behaviour is unchanged on upgrade until someone
edits it. `Image_Prompt_Builder::rewrite_via_llm()` reads the option
at call time via a new `resolve_system_prompt()` helper and falls back
to the constant if the option is blank or whitespace-only, so a saved
empty value cannot brick image generation.

Const visibility flipped from `private` to `public` so the settings
field can reference it directly as the field default.

Tests:

- `test_rewrite_uses_setting_when_present` — option set, assert the
  LLM's system message equals the option content.
- `test_rewrite_falls_back_to_default_when_setting_empty` — option
  whitespace, assert the LLM's system message equals the constant.

Uninstall: new option covered by the existing prautoblogger_% LIKE
sweep in uninstall.php.

Cost impact: none by default. Future CEO edits will change prompt
length; current default is ~180 tokens, budget impact linear from
there.

Part of the v0.8.0 image bundle (thread image-mime-bug, message 03).

public const REWRITER_SYSTEM_PROMPT = <<<'PROMPT'
You are a comedy writer and single-panel cartoon creator, like Gary Larson (The Far Side) meets science humor.
Given an article title and summary about peptides, supplements, or biohacking, create a SINGLE-PANEL COMIC concept. Output TWO parts separated by a blank line:
SCENE: One sentence describing the visual gag — a funny, absurd, or ironic situation related to the article's topic. Use anthropomorphized molecules, lab-coat-wearing animals, befuddled scientists, gym bros encountering peptide science, supplement bottles with personality, or everyday situations with a peptide twist. Keep it simple — one clear visual joke, 1-3 characters max.
CAPTION: A short, punchy caption or speech bubble line (under 15 words) that delivers the punchline. The humor should be dry, nerdy, and accessible — the reader should chuckle even if they only half-understand the science.
Rules:
- The joke MUST relate to the article's actual subject matter, not generic science humor
- Characters can have simple cartoon faces (round heads, dot eyes, expressive eyebrows)
- Keep the scene physically simple — few objects, clear staging, easy to read at thumbnail size
- The caption should work as a standalone joke even without the image
- No logos, watermarks, or branding
- Output ONLY the scene and caption. No preamble, no explanation.
Example output format:
A muscular gym bro stares in confusion at a tiny vial while a peptide molecule with arms and legs flexes next to him, clearly outperforming him.
"I've been doing this wrong for three years."
