AIXF: Auto Article 2.3.7

This falls under the one-time tier license.

## What’s in this release

• Own options group (ACP → Options → AIXF: Auto Article)
• CSV-based node selector (no array validators)
• Cron job callback: AIXF\AutoArticle\Cron\Convert::run
• Hardening for nodes that don’t allow articles (schema-aware guard)
• Minimal logging of conversions/skips (can be removed once verified)
• “NoCron” packaging option available if XML importers complain

## Install
1. Upload add-on files to your XF root (or install the packaged zip in ACP).
2. In ACP → Add-ons, install AIXF: Auto Article.
3. In ACP → Options → AIXF: Auto Article, configure:

• Node IDs (CSV): e.g., 42,87
• Conversion batch size: default 50
• Minimum word count: default 0

4. Ensure each target node allows Article thread type (Node → Allow thread types).
