🛡️ Security, Schema & Stability Update

• FIX (Security): Patched an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Story Timeline generator by implementing strict dynamic placeholders via $wpdb->prepare.
• FIX (Security): Added missing cryptographic Nonces and authorization checks (manage_options) to the Onboarding Wizard AJAX endpoints.
• FIX (Security): Improved data sanitization (wp_unslash & isset) when saving Author E-E-A-T profiles to prevent PHP notices.
• FIX (Schema/GSC): Resolved Google Search Console validation errors by strictly attributing news events as Thing instead of Event (removed missing startDate/location errors).

• NEW (E-E-A-T): Author Bio (description) is now automatically injected into the Schema Markup to strengthen author authority.
