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.

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.)

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.

Completes the "skinned vs. replaced" conversion started with Posts —
every native list-table screen the user asked about now has a genuine
custom Vue page behind it instead of dark-themed CSS over the native
markup. All three follow the same pattern as Posts: own REST controller
in admin/src/Rest/, own Vue page matching the Comments layout, native
screen redirected away (direct visits too, not just the sidebar link),
gated by its own Settings toggle defaulting to on.
- Pages (PagesData.php + Pages.vue): same as Posts, parent page shown
instead of categories. edit.php?post_type=page redirects; other post
types untouched.
- Media Library (MediaData.php + Media.vue): thumbnail grid with type
filters (Images/Audio/Video/Documents/Unattached). Replaces the
browse/library experience only — media-new.php (the actual upload
screen) is untouched, same reasoning as leaving the block editor
alone for Posts/Pages.
- Users (UsersData.php + Users.vue): filterable by role. Deleting a
user always reassigns their content to whoever performs the deletion
rather than exposing WP core's reassign-or-delete-everything choice
as a one-click action — deliberately simplified to avoid a surprising,
highly destructive default. user-new.php untouched.
Verified live: Media's grid renders real thumbnails/dimensions/file
sizes with working filters and search; Users shows real accounts with
role filters and correctly hides delete for the current user; both
redirect correctly from their native URLs.

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.

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.
