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.
