Consolidates the 1.0-1.13 iteration history into a single v1.0
changelog entry and drops the old internal 3.x legacy changelog -
this repo is the clean starting point going forward.
Core sets an explicit light background on the shared #templateside > ul
file-tree component, which nothing in native-dark.css covered - combined
with this file's dark-surface text colors, that produced light text on
a light background rather than just unstyled.
Batches everything built since the 1.0 WP.org submission reset: Login
Redirect, the Tools/Export/Import screen takeovers, Modules rebuilt as
an addon marketplace, Menu Creator's reorder fix, Activity Log
redesigned into a filterable table with Admin/User tabs, dark-theme
fixes for Site Health/Personal Data/Updates, and an opt-in Disable
Gutenberg toggle. Continues the "nothing stays native" takeover goal
and closes gaps found via live testing and the WordPress Plugin Check
tool. See CHANGELOG.md for the full per-version breakdown (1.1-1.12).

Extend Settings > Login (beyond the existing style toggle + logo) toward
Loginfy parity: background image or color, form-panel background, button/
focus-accent color, and a custom login CSS field — all dependent on
"Style login page" and all falling back to the original fixed dark theme
when unset. LoginStyle.php sanitizes colors via sanitize_hex_color(),
esc_url()s the background image, and appends custom CSS (</style> stripped).
Verified on wp-login.php.

New Settings > Code group (Custom CSS & JS + Header & footer scripts) driven
by admin/src/Code/CodeInjection.php:
- Admin CSS → <style> in the admin <head> (</style> stripped to prevent breakout)
- Admin JS → <script> in the admin footer (</script> neutralized)
- Header scripts → printed verbatim in the front-end <head>
- Footer scripts → printed verbatim before the front-end </body>
Header/footer scripts are raw admin-authored markup by design (analytics,
meta, etc.), settable only by manage_options users on the settings page.
SettingsField gains a `mono` flag for monospace textareas (no CodeMirror
dependency). All four injection points verified on PHP 8.5.

New Settings > Security & performance group (Hardening + Performance) with
toggles wired by admin/src/Security/Security.php — each gated on its own
setting, adding/removing core hooks so anything left off behaves exactly like
stock WordPress:
- Disable XML-RPC (xmlrpc_enabled false + drop X-Pingback header)
- Disable comments site-wide (close everywhere, strip post-type support,
remove the Comments menu/dashboard-widget/toolbar node)
- Clean up <head> (generator, RSD, WLW manifest, shortlink)
- Disable emoji scripts/styles + the s.w.org dns-prefetch
- Disable oEmbeds (discovery links, host js, embed REST route, wp-embed) —
discovery links are removed at whatever priority core hooks them (loops,
since they can be registered at more than one)
- Heartbeat API: default / slow (60s) / disabled
New setting keys need no schema change (Settings::merge_on_save +
additionalProperties). Every toggle verified at the hook level on PHP 8.5.

Full-screen onboarding at admin.php?page=aurora-admin-setup: Welcome →
Appearance (theme + font) → Branding (logo/favicon/rename) → Features
(replacement-screen toggles) → Done. Reuses SettingsField for every control
and applyLiveTheme for instant preview; finish/skip saves via wp/v2/settings
and marks completion.
- admin/src/Pages/SetupWizard.php: hidden submenu page, disables the shell on
its own page (aurora_admin_shell_enabled filter) + hides native chrome,
register_activation_hook sets a one-time redirect flag, admin_init redirects
once, and a POST /aurora-admin/v1/setup/complete route marks it done.
- app/src/pages/setup-wizard/SetupWizard.vue + entries/setup-wizard.js + vite
input.
- Wired into aurora-admin.php + AuroraAdmin.php.

Add a small left indent to .settings__list so each group's categories read
as a nested submenu rather than sitting flush with the group header.

Consolidate ~140 scattered hardcoded border-radius values (and the old
--aurora-radius/--aurora-radius-lg vars) onto one four-step scale defined in
shell-frame.css:
--aurora-radius-sm 10px (chips, small/icon controls; was 5-8px)
--aurora-radius-md 14px (buttons, inputs, search, list rows; was 9-14px)
--aurora-radius-lg 20px (cards, panels, larger buttons; was 15-20px)
--aurora-radius-xl 28px (page frames: content card, dashboard, sidebar,
editor; was the 24px --aurora-radius-lg)
Everything is one notch rounder, and the whole UI's roundness is now tunable
from four lines instead of 35 files.

Strip the whole window metaphor as UI baggage: the traffic-light dots
injected at the top of every page, the minimize taskbar, and the
minimize/maximize state and all their CSS. windowChrome.js and taskbar.js
are gone; the only structural DOM the shell still does — wrapping the
takeover Dashboard in .aurora-dashboard-frame and reparenting its notices
into the card — moved to a focused dashboardFrame.js (initDashboardFrame()).
SiteShell.vue drops the taskbar rendering/state; shell-frame.css drops the
.aurora-winbar*/.aurora-taskbar*/minimized/maximized rules and the
--aurora-taskbar-h / --aurora-editor-winbar-h vars, and zeroes the editor
and theme-install frame offsets that reserved a top strip for the dots.
shell.js 16.4->13.4 kB. The editor "back to list" crumb lived in the bar
and was removed with it (Gutenberg's own W-logo still navigates back).

@codemirror/* (8 language packages) and codemirror were declared but
imported nowhere in src — leftovers from the removed File Manager and
Database Explorer. Dropped all nine; removes 30 packages from the install
(node_modules ~44 MB -> ~39 MB). Not bundled before (unused), so the built
output is unchanged. If the future custom CSS/JS editor needs an in-browser
code editor, add back the specific packages it uses at that point.

- Pin `vue` to a named `vendor-vue` chunk (manualChunks) so its hash stays
stable across app-code changes — returning users keep it cached across
plugin releases instead of re-downloading ~31 kB gzip each update. Also
replaces the misleadingly-named `_plugin-vue_export-helper` shared chunk.
- Gate sourcemap emission on AURORA_SOURCEMAP (default on for the local
hot-patch dev loop; the distribution build sets it to false). Cuts a
from-scratch dist build's app/dist from ~1.7 MB to ~502 kB by dropping
27 .map files that ship no value to end users.
- Refresh the stale header comment (was "one entry in this first slice").

Restructure the flat settingsCategories list into five top-level groups
(General, Appearance, Screens, Productivity, Add-ons), each a collapsible
nav section with persisted open/closed state. Consolidate the six
single-toggle modern_* categories (posts/pages/media/users/comments/
plugins) into one "Content tables" screen. Search now matches on group +
category + subtitle and hides empty groups. Field definitions, save flow,
and setting keys are unchanged.
settingsConfig.js exports settingsGroups plus a flattened settingsCategories
for default-seeding and deep-link lookups.
(package-lock.json: version field synced 2.16.0 -> 3.1.0 to match package.json.)

Reworded "What this project is" to describe Aurora on its own terms and
dropped the stale uixpress/ folder archaeology from the Repo section.

Machine-sync snapshot: the working tree carried the full 3.0.0-3.6.1 arc
(licensing/FileManager/DatabaseExplorer removal, all new replacement screens
and REST controllers) that had not been committed on this machine. Captured
here as a safety baseline before starting the Adminify-parity revamp.
