## 설명

Welcome to **Henkan** (Japanese for “conversion”) — your lightweight, high-performance
solution for next-generation image optimization in WordPress!

Slow loading times and heavy images are a thing of the past. Henkan seamlessly integrates
into your WordPress dashboard, silently converting your standard JPEGs and PNGs 
into highly optimized **WebP** or **AVIF** files. Boost your Core Web Vitals, improve
your SEO rankings, and save massive amounts of server bandwidth without sacrificing
an ounce of image quality.

### ✨ Why choose Henkan?

Most image optimizers rely on slow PHP processing or expensive cloud APIs with monthly
limits. Henkan is built differently: It prioritizes **native OS binaries** (`cwebp`,`
avifenc`) to process images blazingly fast directly on your own server, completely
free and without any restrictions.

### 🚀 Powerful Features

 * **Next-Gen Formats:** Instantly convert images to WebP and AVIF formats.
 * **Zero-Config Auto-Conversion:** New images are optimized silently in the background
   the moment you upload them.
 * **1-Click Bulk Optimization:** Got a massive existing media library? Process 
   thousands of images with a single click in our beautiful, modern dashboard.
 * **Smart Fallbacks:** Uses ultra-fast `exec()` binaries when available, falling
   back to GD or ImageMagick seamlessly if needed.
 * **Cache Auto-Clear:** Fully compatible with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, Autoptimize,
   and LiteSpeed Cache. Conversions automatically trigger a cache purge.
 * **Frontend Delivery:** Automatically serves the optimized images to compatible
   browsers using modern HTML `<picture>` tags or Nginx/Apache rewrites.
 * **WP-CLI Power:** Built-in commands (`wp henkan convert`) for sysadmins to process
   massive libraries directly from the terminal without PHP timeouts.
 * **Global Ready:** 100% translation-ready. Shipped with English, German (`de_DE`),
   and Japanese (`ja`) out of the box.

### 🛠️ System Requirements

To unleash the full speed of Henkan, we recommend:
 * **WordPress:** 6.9 or higher***
PHP:** 8.4 or higher * **For WebP:** `cwebp` installed on the server (recommended)
OR PHP `GD` extension with WebP support. * **For AVIF:** `avifenc` or `ImageMagick`(
magick/convert) installed OR PHP `GD` extension with AVIF support.

## 설치

 1. Download the latest plugin zip from the repository.
 2. Go to your WordPress Dashboard: **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
 3. Upload the zip file and click **Install Now**.
 4. Click **Activate Plugin**.
 5. Navigate to **Settings > Henkan** in your dashboard.
 6. Choose your preferred format (WebP or AVIF), set the quality (we recommend 82),
    and click **Start Scan** to optimize your existing library!

## FAQ

### Does it delete my original images?

By default, no! Henkan keeps your original JPEGs and PNGs safely stored. You can
easily toggle this behavior in the settings if you want to aggressively save disk
space.
 **Note: If you choose to delete the originals, the newly generated optimized
file (e.g., WebP or AVIF) will officially replace the old JPEG/PNG as the primary
attachment in your WordPress database.**

### Do I need to pay for an API or subscription?

Absolutely not. Henkan processes everything locally on your own server. No cloud
limits, no monthly fees, completely free and open-source.

### How do I use the WP-CLI commands?

For large media libraries, using the terminal is highly recommended.
 * Scan and
convert all missing images: `wp henkan convert` * Force convert everything: `wp 
henkan convert --force`

## 변경이력

#### 2.4.0

### Security

 * **Enhanced image MIME validation:** Added strict server-side image type verification
   using `mime_content_type()` with `exif_imagetype()` fallback.
 * **Fail-closed image processing:** Files are rejected when no reliable image type
   verification method is available.
 * **Conversion locking:** Added atomic per-attachment conversion locks to prevent
   concurrent conversion of the same image and generated sizes.
 * **Stale lock recovery:** Conversion locks that remain active after an unexpected
   process termination can be safely recovered.
 * **Lock ownership validation:** Processes can only release locks that they own.
 * **Integrity check locking:** Prevented multiple integrity checks from running
   concurrently.

### Bulk Optimization

 * **Cursor-based media scanning:** Replaced unbounded media-library queries with
   bounded cursor/keyset pagination.
 * **Reduced memory usage:** Large media libraries are no longer loaded into PHP
   memory in a single request.
 * **Improved AJAX bulk processing:** Bulk scans now process images in controlled
   batches and return a continuation cursor.
 * **Improved “Only missing” detection:** Conversion status is now verified against
   the actual files on disk instead of relying solely on database records.
 * **Multi-format verification:** Missing WebP, AVIF, or JPEG XL files are detected
   independently when multiple output formats are enabled.

### Background Processing

 * **Real background queue worker:** Added a bounded WP-Cron worker for background
   bulk optimization.
 * **Queue locking:** Prevented multiple background workers from processing the 
   same queue simultaneously.
 * **Cursor-based queue:** The background queue stores a lightweight attachment 
   cursor instead of maintaining a potentially massive list of attachment IDs.
 * **Bounded worker execution:** Each worker run processes a limited number of attachments
   to reduce PHP execution time and memory pressure.
 * **Automatic queue continuation:** Remaining work is automatically scheduled for
   subsequent WP-Cron runs.
 * **Safe queue completion:** Queue state is persisted and finalized cleanly after
   the last batch.
 * **Automatic cache cleanup:** Relevant caches are cleared after successful queue
   completion when enabled.

### WP-CLI

 * **Keyset pagination:** Replaced offset-based pagination with ID-based cursor 
   pagination.
 * **Improved large-library performance:** WP-CLI bulk processing no longer becomes
   progressively slower as the attachment offset increases.
 * **Bounded processing:** CLI operations now use controlled batch sizes.

### Database & Integrity

 * **Chunked integrity checks:** Henkan data is now checked in bounded batches instead
   of loading the complete `wp_henkan_data` table into memory.
 * **Reduced database memory pressure:** Large Henkan installations can perform 
   integrity checks without creating oversized PHP result sets.
 * **Improved missing-file detection:** Integrity checks can identify missing converted
   files more reliably.

### Web Server Delivery

 * **Deterministic format priority:** Updated generated Nginx configuration to use
   the documented format priority:
    WebP > AVIF > JPEG XL.
 * **Improved multi-format handling:** Format availability is evaluated independently
   rather than treating the presence of one generated format as sufficient.

#### 2.3.3

 * **Security:** Added strict server-side MIME-type verification (using `mime_content_type`
   and `exif_imagetype`) to the image creation process. This prevents malicious 
   file uploads disguised as images from reaching the CLI fallback converters, effectively
   mitigating the CVE-2026-65640 vulnerability (Imagick/Ghostscript RCE).
 * **Changed:** Bumped the “Requires at least” WordPress version to 7.0.4 to align
   with core security standards and ensure safe environment execution.

#### 2.3.2

 * **Fix Readme

#### 2.3.0

 * **New tab: Smart Options. A dedicated “Smart Options” tab has been added to the
   plugin dashboard. It groups all optional, advanced features behind individual
   toggles that are disabled by default. Existing setups are completely unaffected
   unless a feature is explicitly activated.
 * **Smart Option: Quality by Image Size. Allows a separate, lower quality value
   to be applied to WordPress-generated thumbnail crop sizes (e.g. thumbnail, medium,
   medium_large) while the global quality setting continues to apply to full-size
   originals. The feature uses wp_get_registered_image_subsizes() to determine whether
   a given image size is an actual WordPress crop — custom single-resolution setups
   where WordPress thumbnail generation is not used are not affected even if the
   toggle is enabled.
 * **Smart Option: Integrity Check. Adds a daily WP-Cron job that verifies whether
   converted files recorded in the wp_henkan_data table still physically exist on
   disk. Any entry whose files are no longer present is removed from the database,
   causing the image to be re-queued for conversion on the next bulk scan. The Smart
   Options tab displays the date of the last run and the number of missing files
   found. Particularly useful after server migrations or accidental file deletions.
 * **Smart Option: Max Output Width. Optionally limits the pixel width of converted
   output files. If an uploaded image exceeds the configured maximum width, it is
   scaled down proportionally before conversion. The original file is never modified—
   only the converted WebP/AVIF/JXL output is resized. Aspect ratio is always preserved.
   Images already narrower than the configured value are not affected.
 * **Conversion Statistics panel. A new read-only statistics panel in the Smart 
   Options tab shows the total number of converted images and the cumulative disk
   space saved. Also introduces the wp henkan stats WP-CLI command for the same 
   information from the terminal.
 * **New WP-CLI command: wp henkan stats. Outputs a summary of total converted images
   and space saved directly from the terminal.

#### 2.2.0

 * **Tested up to:** WordPress 7.0
 * **New:** Full compatibility with WordPress 7.0 architectural changes.
 * **New:** High-performance database architecture. Migrated conversion data from`
   wp_postmeta` to a dedicated custom table (`wp_henkan_data`). This significantly
   speeds up backend load times and reduces database queries for large media libraries.
   The migration runs seamlessly and automatically in the background.
 * **New:** Asynchronous Background Queue for Bulk Optimization. You can now run
   massive conversion tasks safely in the background via WP-Cron without keeping
   the browser tab open. This feature can be toggled in the Advanced Settings.
 * **New:** Granular Exclusion Rules. You can now exclude specific files, paths,
   or naming patterns (e.g., logos, specific folders) from conversion using simple
   string matching or Regex.
 * **Tweak:** Improved resource management and cleanup routines. The plugin now 
   automatically purges the associated database rows in the custom table when an
   attachment is permanently deleted.

#### 2.1.1

 * **Fix:** Added native WordPress Media Library support for AVIF and JXL formats.
 * **Fix:** Added an admin grid fallback to display WebP/JPEG thumbnails if the 
   browser does not support JXL natively.

#### 2.1.0

 * **Feature:** Multi-Format Engine! You can now generate WebP, AVIF, and JXL simultaneously
   for every uploaded image.
 * **Feature:** Added experimental support for JPEG XL (.jxl) via `cjxl` and ImageMagick.
 * **UI/UX:** Completely redesigned the Admin Dashboard. All settings, Server Rewrites,
   and WP-CLI commands are now unified into a clean, single-card tabbed interface.
 * **Engine:** Introduced an intelligent Auto-Fallback system. If native OS binaries(`
   avifenc`, `cwebp`) fail or are blocked by your host, Henkan automatically falls
   back to PHP GD or ImageMagick.
 * **Engine:** Strict format priority (WebP > AVIF > JXL) ensures maximum browser
   compatibility for the main WordPress media library files.
 * **Core:** Added detailed, transparent error logging directly in the bulk optimization
   UI to help identify missing server binaries.
 * **Compliance:** Achieved 100% strict compliance with WordPress Coding Standards(
   WPCS) and security escaping rules.

#### 2.0.4

 * Bumped minimum requirements to PHP 7.4 and WordPress 6.0 for better security 
   and native binary performance.
 * Improved Readme layout and added FAQ section.

#### 2.0.3

 * Initial release on the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory.
 * Full i18n Overhaul & WP.org Compliance.
 * Strict settings sanitization and security patches applied.
