eXtplorer 3 Alpha.6 Lands With Admin Overhaul, Security Tightening, and Polished UX

[soerennb]

The jump from v3.0.0-alpha.5 to v3.0.0-alpha.6 delivers a notably sharper admin experience, stronger safety rails, and a series of practical fixes that reduce friction across sharing, transfers, and profile settings.

On the admin front, I introduced a dedicated /admin page, consolidated the admin UI into a quick modal plus page-based console, and improved settings UX, audit logs, and permissions visibility. Admin entry points were clarified as “Quick Admin,” and the console received broader translation coverage and locale initialization fixes.

Security and governance also saw meaningful hardening. Highlights include session idle timeouts, share link governance policies, enforcement of upload size limits and per-user quotas, RBAC delete guardrails, and tougher validation around transfers and public share access. Email sending is now disabled until properly configured — a small change with big safety implications.

User-facing polish continues to accumulate. Transfers and share links received multiple UX improvements and edge-case fixes, mounts editing and profile settings were refined, and lingering Vue issues (like placeholder newline parsing and a missing canTestMount binding) were cleaned up.

Finally, the release wraps with a few release hygiene updates: a GHCR image build workflow was added, the admin header now features a prominent “Back to File Manager” button (with translations).
