OpenRouter Connector for WordPress

OpenRouter Connector for WordPress adds an AI provider connector via the WordPress 7.0 Connectors API, so site owners can configure OpenRouter as an AI backend from a native admin screen. The plugin registers an ai_provider connector with api_key authentication, exposes a credentials link, and integrates with the WP AI Client for automatic provider discovery.
