    • Quick Actions Card: Instant one-click route cache recompilation and direct navigation shortcuts.
  • 100% Official Extension Pre-Validator (EPV) Pass:
    • Clean bill of health with 0 Fatals, 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, and 0 Notices, meeting all phpBB Customise Database (CDB) packaging criteria.

🛠️ Fixed & Improved
