Enterprise-ready WordPress foundation for the NovaCore AI assistant.

== Description ==

NovaCore AI is a modular WordPress plugin foundation designed for a future enterprise assistant powered by the OpenAI Responses API, File Search and Vector Store.

Version 0.3 introduces the internal enterprise architecture without implementing chat, AI, vector storage, PDF processing or new user interfaces.

Current architecture includes:

• PSR-4-style namespaced autoloading
• Service container with transient and singleton bindings
• Service providers for administration, API, database, chat, knowledge and AI domains
• WordPress-backed configuration and settings repository
• Versioned database migration manager
• Database-backed structured logger
• Internal event dispatcher
• Conversation state persistence
• Protected administration dashboard and settings
• Protected structural REST API endpoint

== Installation ==

1. Upload the novacore-ai directory to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate NovaCore AI through the WordPress Plugins screen.
3. Open NovaCore AI in the WordPress administration menu.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Yes. The public widget is available but disabled by default until an administrator enables it.

No. Destructive cleanup remains disabled until a formal data-retention strategy is implemented.
