 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-28
+- Updated ACP General to use section navigation with `Overview` as the default landing view and a dedicated `Settings` view.
+- Reorganized ACP General placeholders by moving `Client communication` and `Server configuration` into the Settings area as dedicated sub-tabs.
+- Added nested Settings tab grouping and bordered tab-content containers to match the ACP tabbed layout pattern.
+- Refined ACP tab visual states so inactive tabs render muted and active tabs use the configured accent color.
+- Standardized key ACP refresh actions with explicit icon + spacing so repeated controls render consistently.
+- Added icon support to additional primary UI actions (update modal/footer actions, auth screens, and forum/thread actions).
+- Synced board version/build display in stats from `composer.json` and added safe DB setting synchronization fallback logic.
+- Applied global accent-based Bootstrap button variable overrides so primary button styling remains consistent across ACP and user-facing screens.
+
+## 2026-02-27
+- Reworked ACP System navigation into `Health` and `Updates`.
+- Moved update/version actions into the new `Updates` area and grouped update checks under `Live Update`, `CLI`, and `CI/CD`.
+- Added CLI PHP interpreter `Check` action (no persistence) plus save-time validation endpoint.
+- Updated CLI PHP save UX to keep persistent inline errors and avoid duplicate danger toasts.
+- Added iconized, accent-styled `Check` and `Save` actions in ACP CLI settings.
+- Fixed system-status PHP detection to avoid false positives when a configured CLI binary is invalid.
+- Switched `Health` PHP requirement checks to the web runtime interpreter (`PHP_BINARY`/`PHP_VERSION`) instead of configured CLI binary.
+- Limited `Health` checks to runtime-relevant items (removed `tar`/`rsync` from Health view).
+- Fixed `public/storage` symlink health check to correctly resolve absolute and relative symlink targets.
+
+## 2026-02-24
+- Added login modal actions: `Cancel` button and accent-styled, right-aligned `Sign in` button.
+- Added functional `Forgot password?` flow with dedicated SPA route/page at `/reset-password`.
+- Implemented reset-link request UI wired to `POST /api/forgot-password`.
+- Implemented token-based new-password submission (`?token=...&email=...`) wired to `POST /api/reset-password`.
+- Updated reset flow UX to return to `/login` after successful reset-link request and after successful password update.
+- Added English and German translations for password reset screens/messages.
+- Added new `/ping` endpoint returning connection status, build status, and notification state.
+- Added frontend ping polling with active/hidden intervals and console diagnostics.
+- Added update-available detection comparing loaded build vs ping build, with footer refresh CTA.
+- 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`.
+
 ## 2026-02-18
 - Added CLI default PHP version detection to system status (`php_default_version`) using the CLI `php` binary.
 - Updated ACP System -> CLI to show the CLI default PHP path/version in the panel header with sufficiency indicator and warning tooltip.

-# SpeedBB Forum
+# speedBB
 
-Placeholder README for the forum application.
+speedBB is a modern forum application with a built-in Admin Control Panel (ACP), customizable branding, user/rank management, attachment support, and integrated update tooling.
 
-## Status
+## What It Does
 
-Work in progress.
+- Hosts classic forum discussions with categories, forums, topics, and replies.
+- Provides an ACP for everyday operations (settings, users, groups, ranks, attachments, and audit log).
+- Supports brand customization (name, theme, accents, logos, favicons).
+- Manages user media (avatars, rank badges, logos) with public delivery.
+- Includes built-in update and system-check workflows so admins can verify server health and apply updates from the ACP.
+
+## ACP Areas
+
+The ACP is organized into practical sections for day-to-day forum operations:
+
+- `General`: core board identity and visual setup (name, theme defaults, accents, logos, favicons).
+- `Forums`: structure and ordering of categories/forums.
+- `Users`: account overview and moderation/admin user management actions.
+- `Groups`: role and permission group administration.
+- `Ranks`: rank definitions and badge management.
+- `Attachments`: attachment policy and extension/group controls.
+- `Audit log`: activity trail for administrative actions.
+- `System`: split into `Health` (live website health checks) and `Updates` (update-readiness checks and update actions, including CLI interpreter validation).
+- `Custom`: space for project-specific custom assets/overrides.
+
+## Current Product Status
+
+- Active version: `26.0.3`
+- Forum + ACP features are in active use.
+- Health and update checks are integrated directly into ACP System.
