.aurora-dashboard-frame never got the height-cap + internal-scroll
treatment #wpbody-content got in an earlier session (it bypasses
#wpbody-content entirely, using its own element) — only the
taskbar-present variant applied to it. Combined with html/body being
locked to overflow:hidden in that same earlier fix, dashboard content
below ~1500px became completely unreachable: no internal scroll, and
no document scroll left to fall back on. Mirrored the same
max-height/overflow-y/overflow-anchor treatment onto the dashboard
frame. Verified live — Server Health, Media Analytics, and the rest of
the dashboard scroll into view correctly now.

- Custom dashboard, Modern plugins page, and Modern comments page
toggles previously had no effect at all — their respective takeovers/
redirects (DashboardTakeover, SubApps' Plugins/Comments handling,
MenuSerializer's link rewrites) ran unconditionally regardless of the
setting. All three now default to their previous always-on behavior
but can actually be turned off.
- Menu search had zero implementation. Sidebar.vue now shows a real
search box (gated on the setting) that filters both the WP-native menu
and the Aurora nav section by title, auto-expanding matching sections.
- Removed "Modern posts table" and "Modern users page" toggles (and
their now-empty Posts/Users settings categories) — both described a
custom management page that was never built. A checkbox with nothing
behind it is worse than no checkbox.
Verified all four live: dashboard/plugins/comments toggles correctly
flip between the Aurora and native experience and back; menu search
filters correctly and clears back to the full menu.

Aurora's branded nav section had its own independent expand/collapse
state, so it stayed open regardless of which native menu section was
expanded — the one exception to the single-open accordion. Unified
under one openId ref (a sentinel value for Aurora alongside real
native-menu item ids) so expanding either collapses the other.

The toggle existed in the UI with no implementation behind it, so
uploads were rejected regardless of the setting. New SvgUploads class:
- Allowlists the SVG mime type and fixes WP's real-mime sniff, which
otherwise nulls out the file type for SVGs specifically even after
the mime allowlist is updated.
- Populates width/height metadata (parsed from the SVG's own
viewBox/width/height) — without this, wp_get_missing_image_subsizes()
throws undefined-array-key warnings that can corrupt the upload
response's JSON on environments with warnings displayed inline.
- Basic sanitization on upload (strips <script> tags, inline event
handlers, javascript: URIs).
Verified live via the REST media endpoint: clean upload with correct
dimensions, and a malicious test SVG had its script/handlers stripped
while staying valid markup.

"Style login page" and "Login logo" existed in the Settings UI with no
implementation behind them at all. New LoginStyle class hooks
login_enqueue_scripts to apply a dark theme (background, form card,
inputs, button) and swap in the configured logo, linked to the site's
home URL instead of wordpress.org.

wp_enqueue_media() was never called on the Settings page, so wp.media
was undefined client-side and every image field (Logo, Dark mode logo,
Login logo, Admin favicon) silently fell back to a plain URL prompt
instead of the WordPress media library. Also relabeled the picker
button ("Choose from media library" instead of "{label} url") so it
reads as a picker, not a URL field.

Covers this session's work: free/paid feature gating, real
auroraplugins.com license validation, and file-integrity tamper
protection for the license gate.

- New Integrity class checksums the files that implement/enforce the
free/paid split (SubApps, Analytics, AnalyticsData, WhiteLabel, Shell,
License itself, and the two bootstrap files) against a manifest
generated at zip-build time. No manifest present (a dev checkout) is
never treated as tampered.
- License::is_feature_available() checks Integrity::is_tampered() before
checking the actual license, so a distributed copy with the check
stripped/commented out re-locks every paid feature even with an
otherwise-valid license, rather than the plugin trusting whatever code
happens to still be there.
- bin/build-integrity-manifest.php generates the manifest against a
staged zip-build copy (gitignored build artifact, same pattern as
app/dist) — now a required step in the zip-build workflow.
- Verified live: untampered+unlicensed stays locked, untampered+licensed
unlocks, one tampered file re-locks regardless of license status
(tested via a temporary mu-plugin faking an active license, kept
outside any protected file so it didn't itself trip the check).
This raises the bar against the realistic low-effort case (finding and
deleting/inverting the one license-check line) but can't stop someone who
rewrites a file's logic to never call the gate, or who edits this
integrity check itself — an inherent limit of protection living in plain,
editable PHP.

Analytics, White Label, remote site switcher are paid)
- New License class is the single gate every paid feature checks —
today it's a placeholder (any non-empty license_key counts as active)
since there's no license server yet, but every gated feature already
funnels through it so swapping in real remote validation later won't
touch anything else.
- Role Editor, Activity Log, and Database Explorer stay registered/
capability-checked as before, but render an UpgradeNotice screen
instead of the real feature when unlicensed (and skip loading the
real JS bundle/REST data). Menu Creator, Admin Notices, Comments,
and Plugins stay free.
- Analytics' tracking hooks and REST endpoint, and White Label's
favicon/rename/text-replace hooks, simply don't register without a
license. Settings fields for both stay visible/editable either way.
- Remote site switcher gated alongside its existing capability check.
- Sidebar shows a small lock badge on locked Aurora nav items; the
Dashboard's Analytics tab shows the same upgrade prompt when locked.
- Fixed an unrelated bug surfaced while testing Role Editor: RolesData's
REST callback called get_editable_roles() without loading
wp-admin/includes/user.php first, which REST requests don't get for
free (only real wp-admin page loads do) — 500'd every time.

- Root-cause fix for "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page" on
Menu Creator/Activity Log/Role Editor: remove_submenu_page() was
corrupting WP core's user_can_access_admin_page() capability lookup.
Sub-apps now stay registered in $submenu; MenuSerializer filters them
out of the sidebar instead.
- Add a 6th sub-app, Comments, with a redirect from native edit-comments.php.
- Extend the window-chrome/taskbar framing to the Site Editor
(site-editor.php), including a fix for a CSS position:fixed
over-constraint bug that let its frame run past the viewport.
- Rewrite the taskbar from a single sessionStorage slot to a list so
multiple minimized windows are each independently restorable.
- Extend native-dark.css coverage to the block editor's own chrome.

Replaces the old light/dark toggle with 10 fixed color themes (plus
Black & Grey and White) that drive a coordinated gradient palette across
the whole admin UI, a Google Fonts picker, and a native-page dark-mode
stylesheet that now covers modals and plugin/theme card grids. Fixes
several background/gradient seams where the sidebar, toolbar, and content
frame were each painting their own independent copy of the page gradient
instead of sharing one continuous plane.
Also adds a macOS-style traffic-light title bar to every page (close,
minimize, maximize) and a persistent bottom taskbar so a minimized page
can be restored from anywhere, plus a Plugins management page.
