## Description

Arrow Publisher for Thrds Free provides a simple manual publishing workflow for 
Threads.

Free features include:

 * Connect and disconnect an authorised Threads account.
 * Test the current Threads connection.
 * Search published WordPress Posts.
 * Publish one post at a time immediately.
 * Use the featured image when available, with text-only fallback.
 * Prevent duplicate publishing of content already sent to Threads.
 * Free-edition Threads posts include the text: `Published with Arrow Publisher 
   for Thrds`.

The Premium edition adds automatic publishing, queues, scheduling, multiple public
post types, per-post controls, retries/activity management and unbranded publishing.

Only WordPress administrators can manage the Threads connection and publishing actions.
State-changing admin and AJAX actions use capability checks and WordPress nonces.
The OAuth callback validates a cryptographically random, per-user state value created
when the administrator begins the connection.

### External Services

This plugin relies on external services to connect to Threads and publish content.
These services are contacted only after an administrator explicitly connects Threads
or publishes a post.

#### Arrow Design connection service

The plugin uses the Arrow Design connection service at https://arrowdesign.ie/threads-
broker/ to complete the OAuth connection flow. During connection it sends the WordPress
site’s return URL, home URL and site name. During the one-time connection claim 
it sends the OAuth handoff value, state value and return URL. The service returns
the authorised Threads account information and access token to the WordPress site.

#### Meta Threads API

The plugin communicates with the Threads Graph API at https://graph.threads.net/
to test the connected account and publish content. Publishing can send the selected
WordPress post text, permalink, the Free-edition attribution text and, when available,
the public featured-image URL, together with the authorised Threads access token.

## FAQ

### What is included in the Free edition?

The Free edition provides connection management and immediate one-at-a-time publishing
of standard WordPress Posts.

### What attribution is added?

The Free edition appends `Published with Arrow Publisher for Thrds` to the Threads
post text.

### What does Premium add?

Premium adds queueing, scheduling, automatic publishing, multiple public post types,
per-post controls, retry/activity management and removes the Free-edition attribution.

### Can I upgrade without reconnecting?

The editions use the same internal connection and post-meta keys, so the existing
Threads connection and already-published IDs can be retained when switching editions.

### Does the plugin send data to external services?

Yes, only as required to connect to Threads and publish content. See the **External
Services** section above for the exact services, data and policy links.
