Initial public release.

• Added verified guide retrieval for licence keys, activation, API keys, AI providers, model routing, embeds, indexing, Knowledge Base, visual search, comparisons, stock alerts, diagnostics, My Account, downloads and invoices.
• Improved recognition of symptom-led support requests such as “where is”, “I can’t find”, “not working” and “error” across supported languages.
• Added direct recognition of dedicated guide content, even when the visitor does not explicitly ask for a guide, manual or tutorial.
• Improved routing of product, account, licence and administration questions to real guides and procedures.
• Changed blog and article discovery to explicit opt-in: articles are shown only when the visitor asks to find, read, open, show or recommend one.
• Prevented model-requested article searches during ordinary support, product, licence and documentation conversations.
• Strengthened relevance requirements before a page, service or article can appear as a visible source or action.
• Prevented semantically related blog posts from being presented as product documentation.
• Required documentation answers to link to a verified guide, procedure or dedicated guide URL.
• Published 7 new customer guides and expanded the live guide library to 37 articles.
• Updated 8 existing Assistant guides and added 4 new in-depth Assistant guides.
• Updated 3 account and licensing guides and added 3 new purchase, plan, licence-key and troubleshooting guides.
• Reviewed and updated 13 Publisher guides for the 3.7.6 scheduling, reservation, native WordPress Scheduled-post and watchdog workflow.
• Product search, verified comparisons, cart actions, embeds, licensing, provider settings and stored data remain compatible.
• No settings reset, database migration or reindex is required for this update.

• Added native WordPress Scheduled status for quality-approved automation articles.

• Stored the exact publication date and time using the configured WordPress website timezone.

• Kept the Publisher publication event as an independent watchdog that verifies every slot and recovers missed native cron publication safely.

• Reserved every generated article to exactly one publication slot and prevented reserved future articles from being reused by another slot.

• Added durable Generated, Scheduled and Published lifecycle timestamps and clearer automation-history messages.

• Added native-schedule reconciliation for existing Ready articles during upgrades.

• Made Pause, Disabled, Pending Review and Draft-only workflows remove native schedules safely while retaining generated content and slot history.

• Prevented fallback publishing from taking an article that is reserved for a later publication slot.

• Made the Publisher watchdog idempotent so a post already published by WordPress is never published twice or reported as skipped.

• Moved native-schedule migration out of the plugin bootstrap request into a safe one-time background reconciliation event.

• Prevented synchronous post-status transitions while WordPress is replacing or loading the plugin during an in-place update.

• Preserved all existing settings, licenses, API keys, topics, publication times, generated posts, jobs, reports and completed automation history.

• Reorganised the Publisher administration into Dashboard, Topics, Publisher, Articles, Insights, Settings and License workspaces.

• Added a polished responsive interface for desktop, tablet and mobile.

• Added durable automation slot tracking so generated, ready, scheduled, published, skipped and failed publication slots remain visible and cannot be queued twice.

• Added support for up to 12 separate publication times per active publishing day.

• Added configurable daily, selected-weekday and interval publishing schedules.

• Added the option to generate the first article immediately when activating a schedule.

• Added interactive Create articles and Live Pipeline views with live research, writing, linking, media and quality-stage progress.

• Added an article manager for generated, ready, review, scheduled and published articles, including archive, restore and WordPress Trash actions.

• Fixed the Dashboard automation card so active schedules always display the next valid publication and generation slot.

• Expanded the content inventory to every eligible public WordPress post type, including posts, pages, products, Guides, Portfolio and other public custom post types.

• Added custom post type taxonomy terms to automatic website topic inference, cluster generation, cannibalisation checks and internal-link selection.

• Added automatic sitemap discovery for Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress, WordPress core and common sitemap locations.

• Retained manual sitemap configuration as an explicit override of the automatically detected sitemap.

• Strengthened contextual internal-link ranking using titles, headings, SEO keywords, taxonomies, full page content and language relevance.

• Added products, Guides and eligible custom post types as natural internal-link targets.

• Changed unavailable link quotas into non-blocking quality targets. Articles continue with all relevant verified links available, while reports clearly show the requested and achieved counts.

• Improved internal-link distribution so links appear naturally across relevant body sections instead of being grouped together.

• Added verified external-source handling with priority for official, primary and configured authoritative sources.

• Made Google Search Console and Serper optional. Missing, invalid or temporarily unavailable integrations no longer prevent article generation.

• Added clear per-article reporting for Search Console, SERP, internal-link and external-source availability.

• Added adaptive article architecture for every configured length from 1,000 to 10,000 words.

• Added dynamic section counts, section budgets, heading density and FAQ size while preserving the configured article-length contract.

• Strengthened section ownership and anti-repetition controls so definitions, comparisons, recommendations, steps, examples, recaps and FAQ material do not repeat across the article.

• Added automatic repair of sections that violate their assigned purpose or overlap substantially with other sections.

• Added multiple interchangeable comparison, workflow, decision, diagnostic, risk, checklist and actionable module families.

• Prevented consecutive articles from reusing the same article archetype and selected less-similar module sequences from recent articles.

• Added a stronger single-core-structure quality gate and guaranteed one accessible table of contents per article.

• Removed duplicate contents headings, duplicate navigation lists and reference placeholders.

• Blocked unsupported numerical and named-vendor comparison tables unless verified evidence supports the affected claims.

• Added qualitative evidence-aware table fallbacks when reliable numerical data is unavailable.

• Added native WordPress author selection, automatic or existing-only tags, configurable tag limits, categories and WordPress comment defaults.

• Improved featured and inline image prompts with article-specific and section-specific visual context.

• Added varied image formats, framing, lighting, palettes, eligible sections and natural paragraph positions.

• Prevented inline images from being inserted into the introduction, table of contents, FAQ or conclusion.

• Added non-repeating recent image-layout selection while preserving the configured image count.

• Cached approved media plans so resumed background jobs retain the same image plan while each new article receives a different layout.

• Improved article reports, quality scoring and final checks for repetition, section uniqueness, evidence integrity, valid jump links, clean HTML, heading density, unsupported tables, bare URLs and placeholders.

• Added a responsive Guides & Help link to the Publisher administration.

• Updated the default license server to nextlerai.com and retained secure migration from the previous endpoint.

• Kept generated FAQ questions and answers as normal, fully visible HTML on every WordPress site.

• Removed plugin-side FAQ JavaScript. WordPress themes may optionally enhance the visible FAQ markup with their own accordion behaviour.
