== Changelog ==

= 2.9.13 - 2026-04-27 =
* fix: Activation now succeeds on shared hosts whose default storage engine is MyISAM/Aria (OVH mutualisé, o2switch, LWS, PlanetHoster). Database_Schema::get_charset_collate() now emits ENGINE=InnoDB ... ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC so the 16 plugin tables are forced to InnoDB regardless of @@default_storage_engine, preventing the "Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes" error on UNIQUE KEY (varchar(255) utf8mb4 = 1020 bytes)
* fix: Competitor_Repository::ensure_schema() and SEO_Analysis_Repository::ensure_schema() route through Database_Schema::get_charset_collate() instead of $wpdb->get_charset_collate() so their dbDelta-managed tables inherit the same ENGINE/ROW_FORMAT guarantees
* enhance: Activator error screen now lists "Storage engine" as the first probable cause of activation failure on shared hosting, and a debug-mode pre-flight log records the server's default storage engine for support diagnostics

= 2.9.12 - 2026-04-24 =
* fix: YouTube video iframes (use_video) now survive content import — extend the shared KSES allowlist (Content_Cleaner::allow_audio_kses) to whitelist iframe, its responsive style wrapper div/figure, and script[type=application/ld+json] so embeds, aspect-ratio containers, and Schema.org JSON-LD are preserved across the secondary wp_update_post() calls that run after the initial insert

= 2.9.11 - 2026-04-10 =

= 2.9.10 - 2026-04-10 =
