* Server-side template_redirect interception with sub-millisecond bot identification.

External Services
This plugin communicates with our remote edge verification gateway to inspect crawler bot requests, verify prepaid API credentials, and log honeypot access:
- Verification and Threat Gateway APIs
* Endpoints:
– https://content-heal-studio-piyush-eb8d.vercel.app/api/verify-bot
– https://content-heal-studio-piyush-eb8d.vercel.app/api/bot-signatures
– https://content-heal-studio-piyush-eb8d.vercel.app/api/trap
* Service Provider: Content Heal (https://content-heal-studio-piyush-eb8d.vercel.app)
* Data Transmitted: When an incoming request matches a known AI crawler (e.g., GPTBot) or triggers the invisible honeypot trap, the plugin sends client IP address, User-Agent header string, requested URL path, and Authorization Bearer header (if provided).
* Purpose: Verifies whether the automated crawler holds valid authorization keys to access content and logs honeypot scraper violations. Standard residential human visitors experience zero external network calls.
