Release v1.9.1

Scheduled Deletion System Enhancements

• Enhanced Debugging: Added comprehensive debugging system with error_log() output for WordPress cron troubleshooting when standard debug logging is disabled
• Dual Cleanup System: Implemented redundant scheduled deletion with both individual file cleanup (5 minutes) and bulk directory cleanup (10 minutes) as safety net
• Bulk Cleanup Handler: Added sse_bulk_cleanup_exports_handler() to scan and clean all export files older than 5 minutes from the entire export directory
• Improved Scheduling: Enhanced sse_schedule_export_cleanup() with detailed logging, DISABLE_WP_CRON detection, and WordPress cron array status monitoring
• Test Framework: Added sse_test_cron_scheduling() function to verify WordPress cron functionality before attempting real scheduling
• Cron Diagnostics: Implemented sse_get_scheduled_deletions() for debugging scheduled events and cron system status
• Verification System: Added post-scheduling verification to confirm events are properly added to WordPress cron schedule

Code Quality Improvements

• WordPress VIP Compliance: Replaced direct PHP filesystem function is_writable() with WordPress Filesystem API (WP_Filesystem) for VIP coding standards compliance
• Filesystem API Integration: Added proper WordPress filesystem initialization with error handling in export preparation function
• Code Style: Fixed variable alignment inconsistencies in sse_test_cron_scheduling() function to maintain consistent spacing standards

Bug Fixes

• Scheduled Deletion: Resolved issue where export files were not being automatically deleted due to WordPress cron scheduling failures
• Fallback System: Removed unnecessary fallback methods as requested, streamlining the system to use only WordPress cron
• Error Logging: Improved error visibility by adding direct error_log() output for cron debugging when WordPress debug settings are disabled
• Export Directory Consistency: Centralized export directory naming via SSE_EXPORT_DIR_NAME constant to eliminate mismatched cleanup paths and ensure all subsystems reference the same location
• Filesystem Validation: Added explicit directory creation and writability checks with helpful error messaging when the exports folder can't be prepared
• CI Database Service: Replaced the GitHub Actions MySQL 5.7 test container with MariaDB 10.6 to avoid Docker Hub authentication failures while maintaining WordPress compatibility coverage
