Enhancement: Improved llms.txt file delivery by enforcing a 200 HTTP status (preventing false 404s), clearing output buffers for a clean text output, preventing caching, and adding X-Robots-Tag: index, follow to ensure proper crawling and indexing by AI bots.

UI/UX: Swapped the layout order of the main dashboard cards to display “AI Readiness (GEO)” first, aligning the layout with the post editor Metabox structure.

1.1.6
Fix: Fixed a JSON decoding issue (wp_unslash) that caused FAQ schemas with inner quotes to break and disappear from the dashboard modal and the frontend.
