Route WordPress mail through the Resend API — wp_mail bridge, send log, test email, 4 presets and free JSON export.

== Description ==

Resend Email by Volade replaces unreliable PHP `mail()` with the [Resend](https://resend.com) HTTP API for transactional email.

* Masked API key storage — or override via `RSE_API_KEY` / `RESEND_API_KEY` in wp-config.php (no secrets in repo)
* wp_mail bridge — intercepts WordPress mail when bridge is enabled
* Send log — ring buffer (to, subject, status, Resend ID, error, time)
* Test email button in admin with violet/indigo layout
* 4 presets: Transactional, Newsletter Lite, Staging Safe (log-only), Agency (redirect to admin)
* Site Health test, REST `rse/v1`, WP-CLI `wp rse`, free JSON export

Resend free tier messaging in copy only — 100 emails/day on Resend's free plan.

Works without a Volade account. Connect for REST automation. V+ for bulk send and multisite.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload
2. Activate Resend Email by Volade
3. Add your Resend API key and verified from address
4. Enable the wp_mail bridge and send a test email

Optional in wp-config.php:

`define( 'RSE_API_KEY', 're_…' );`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this replace SMTP plugins? =

When the bridge is enabled, wp_mail is short-circuited and sent via Resend HTTP API instead of PHPMailer/SMTP.

= How do I keep secrets out of git? =

Define `RSE_API_KEY` or `RESEND_API_KEY` in wp-config.php, or enter the key in wp-admin (stored in the database, masked in UI).

= What does Staging Safe do? =

Log-only mode captures wp_mail in the send log without calling Resend — ideal before DNS/domain verification.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* Initial release — settings, mail bridge, send log, test email, presets, export, REST and WP-CLI.
