 - Added update info modal prompting users to refresh when a newer build is detected.
 - Tuned global dark mode palette to reduce overly bright text/surfaces in dark theme.
 - Refined accent button state styling (hover/active/focus) to avoid Bootstrap blue fallback and preserve contrast.
+- Fixed deployment storage path handling by ensuring `public/storage` symlink is created in Ansible.
+- Changed `version:fetch` to sync DB version/build from `composer.json` metadata (host git recount removed).
+- Updated runtime version/ping responses to prefer `composer.json` metadata over DB values to avoid drift.
+- Restored local `master` as build metadata source of truth by removing CI write-back to `master`.
+- Updated local pre-commit hook to stamp `composer.json` build from local git count and stage the file automatically.
+- Bumped forum version to `26.0.3`.
