Content class: WP Post Category

Primary responsibility

  "title": "Post title",
  "excerpt": "Short excerpt",
  "featured_image": "https://...",
  "date": "2026-05-02"
}

Hook	Type	Role
`mam_get_phone_data_before_send`	Filter	Sibling plugins can inject custom rows or filter rows out
`the_content`	Filter	Standard WP filter on the per-row excerpt

Static category configuration. This class binds to a single category. For URL-driven category selection, use Content class: WP Post Category URL.
Pagination is server-side. Don’t return all 10,000 posts at once; use the posts_per_page setting and the cursor mechanism.
Pair with the detail class. Without Content class: WP Post Content configured, tapping a row goes nowhere.
