Brand Navigation v1.0.0-rc.4

Brand Navigation v1.0.0-rc.4 brings the published download up to date with the administration guidance, menu-ordering help and documentation already available on main.

What changed

• Clearer setting descriptions explain direct color entry, the Appearance color pickers and theme-color inheritance.
• Menu-ordering help explains the up/down arrows and ordering within the same Surface, with Move up / Move down tooltips.
• Updated administrator documentation, header examples and compact, click-to-enlarge settings screenshots.
• Support links lead directly to the CodeWorksLabs community Support category.
• The README lists public installations with CodeWorksLabs and DiscussionBridge sites first and explains how to request a listing.
• Removed the developer-only header-binding sentence from Thanks.

RC4 includes the desktop/mobile header sizes and header/submenu color controls introduced in RC3. This release adds no new navigation behavior beyond the changes already on main.

Verification

All 18 executed CI checks passed on the RC4 candidate across the current and three pinned Discourse lanes, including lint and frontend/backend/system tests. Four conditional jobs were skipped as configured. The merged release tree is identical to the passing candidate.

• Discourse Theme CI
• Configuration and lint-coverage regression CI

RC4 remains a prerelease; see the testing record for tested Discourse versions and coverage limits.
