- 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.

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.

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.
