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.

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.
