Posts was previously just dark-themed skinning over the native
edit.php list table, unlike Comments/Plugins which are genuine
replacements. Built the same way: new PostsData.php REST controller
(list with status/search filters matching native tabs, trash, restore,
permanent delete) and a Vue page matching the Comments layout.
- SubApps.php registers it as aurora-admin-posts, parented under
edit.php (same pattern as Plugins under plugins.php).
- redirect_native_pages() redirects direct edit.php visits (typed URL,
not just the sidebar link) to the Aurora page — gated to the default
post type only, so Pages and other custom post types are untouched.
- MenuSerializer rewrites the sidebar's Posts/All Posts links the same
way Plugins/Comments already were.
- Gated by Settings > Posts' "Modern posts table" toggle, re-added now
that it has a real implementation (it was removed a few commits ago
for describing a feature that didn't exist).
- Fixed modern_plugins/modern_comments/modern_posts all defaulting to
visually "on" in the Settings UI to match their actual PHP default.
Verified live: trash/restore/status filters/search all work correctly,
edit.php redirects to the Aurora page, edit.php?post_type=page (Pages)
correctly does not.

- 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.

- 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.
