PUBLISH WORDPRESS BLOG POST

Publishes a post to a WordPress site via the WP REST API (v2), supporting both Application Password (Basic Auth) and Bearer Token authentication. Uploads inline data-URI images embedded in the HTML body and any additional images dataset to the WordPress media library, rewriting <img> src attributes to the resulting hosted URLs before creating the post.
