Schema-marked breadcrumb trail via [breadcrumbs] shortcode with optional auto-insert, reflecting post hierarchy and categories.

== Description ==

Breadcrumb Nav generates a fully accessible, schema-marked breadcrumb trail reflecting the current page's position in the site hierarchy.

**Features:**

* Optional auto-insert before content on selected post types
* Reflects page hierarchy, post categories (with parent categories), and custom post type archives
* BreadcrumbList JSON-LD schema output in `<head>` for rich snippets
* Configurable home label, separator, and current-page visibility
* Accessible markup with ARIA attributes
* Lightweight CSS — no JavaScript
