- License.php now calls the aurora-licensing plugin's REST API
(/wp-json/aurora-licensing/v1/validate|activate|deactivate) instead of
treating any non-empty license_key as active. Result is cached in the
aurora_admin_license_status option for 12 hours; is_active() and
is_feature_available() read the cache instead of hitting the network on
every admin page load.
- Hooks update_option_aurora_admin_settings to activate/deactivate
immediately when the license_key setting actually changes, rather than
waiting out the cache. Instantiated in AuroraAdmin.php so that hook
registers.
- Settings page now surfaces the real status (active/invalid/unreachable,
with the server's own message) as a status line under the License key
field, instead of a field that silently does nothing.
- Verified live against the real server: a fake test key correctly came
back locked with the server's own "License key not found." message.

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.

- Apply the taskbar's max-height/overflow-y:auto treatment to
#wpbody-content unconditionally, so tall native/Aurora pages (Add
Plugins, Add User, Profile, Fonts, file editors, Settings, Activity Log,
Database Explorer, Comments) scroll internally within their frame
instead of growing past the viewport and scrolling the whole document.
- Fix a Chrome scroll-anchoring bug this surfaced on Add Plugins (page
loaded scrolled ~1700px into content instead of at the top) via
overflow-anchor: none.
- Fix a phantom document-level scrollbar with dead space below the frame
by locking html/body's own overflow, since the sidebar/toolbar are fixed
and content is only ever meant to scroll internally.
- Make the sidebar's native-menu sections a single-open accordion:
expanding one now collapses whichever else was open.

- 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.

Documents this session's work: the new fixed-preset theme system
(gradients, the recurring "independently-painted gradient" seam bug
pattern), the macOS-style window chrome + taskbar feature, extended
native-page dark styling coverage, and the still-open sub-app permissions
bug.

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.
