admin_notices fires everywhere, but prints inside #wpbody, which
DashboardTakeover hides entirely on the Dashboard (to hide the *native*
dashboard, not ours) — notices went down with it as collateral damage.
Notices::render_for_dashboard() now renders directly inside the visible
dashboard frame instead, called from DashboardTakeover::render_mount();
the normal admin_notices path bails on the Dashboard so it isn't
rendered twice.
Second, independent bug found along the way: wp-admin/js/common.js
unconditionally relocates every .notice element on the page to right
after the page's <h1>, regardless of where it was placed server-side —
without opting out, it would've silently moved our notice right back
into the hidden #wpbody. Used core's own documented `below-h2` class to
opt out, only for the dashboard render path.
Verified live: notice now shows correctly inside the dashboard frame
with proper dark styling, and dismisses correctly.

- 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.
