Pluggix AltGen AI

Pluggix AltGen AI automatically generates ALT text, captions and descriptions for images using AI. The plugin processes images on upload and also offers bulk generation for existing libraries, helping accessibility and SEO. AI generation is performed by the external Pluggix service (server-side), not locally inside WordPress.

Key features:
* Automatic generation on upload.
* Bulk generation with background queue.
* Dashboard with site status and progress.
* Batch cleanup of ALT, caption and description.
* External service account authentication via JWT token.
* Upload batching with debounce to avoid missed images.
* Upload progress with ETA in the dashboard.
* Separate progress tracking for upload vs. bulk.
* Queue reliability improvements with retry on timeouts.
* Automatic connect flow highlighted and manual connect behind a toggle.
