**Bug Fixes:** |
| 314 |
* Fix: OTTO persistence not syncing titles, descriptions, OG/Twitter fields were only written when persistence was enabled, but OTTO's own render filters read those same staging keys; added coverage for regular posts/pages; OG/Twitter persistence now also writes to RankMath and Yoast equivalents so SEO plugins pick up OTTO data; OG renderer falls back to OTTO staging keys when persistence keys are empty |
| 315 |
* Fix: DB column missing on older installs now self-heals all three required columns |
| 316 |
* Fix: Cap WP announce ping to max 5 per plugin activation lifecycle — removed unbounded cron retry; counter resets on fresh activation and clears on deactivation |

| 327 |
* Fix: \"SearchAtlas AI Pages\" dashboard widget title ignoring whitelabel plugin name setting |

| 329 |
* Fix: Whitelabel icon not shown on WordPress Dashboard → Updates page — icon injected into the `update_plugins` site transient so the correct branded icon appears regardless of the update API response |

| 335 |

| 336 |
