    - Added automatic `.bak` file backup upon saving.
- **Secure File Manager:**
    - Implemented a modern Cloud Explorer-style file manager with sub-folder support.
    - Features: Multi-file upload, drag-and-drop, real-time file search, and breadcrumb navigation.
    - **Image Auto-Resizing:** Supports choosing target widths (384, 512, 1024, 1200px) during upload while maintaining aspect ratio.
    - **Enhanced Security:** Implemented strict MIME type validation (deep content sniffing) and an extension whitelist to prevent malicious uploads.
- **Bot Filtering for Statistics:**
    - Integrated user-agent detection in `AbtComponent` to exclude search engine bots and crawlers from visitor counts, ensuring data accuracy.

### Changed
- **Backend Icon Standardization:** Upgraded all backend dashboard and file manager icons to **Font Awesome 5.11** for a sharper, modern look.
- **Frontend Menu Management:** Implemented a full CRUD system in the Administrator module for managing frontend menus (Navbar, Left Menu, Sidenav).
- **Dynamic Menus:** Navbar, Sidenav (Mobile), and Left Menu are now fully dynamic, fetching data from the `cms_menu_frontend` table with recursive support for nested sub-menus.
- **Visitor Statistics Refactoring:** Improved performance using optimized date range queries and fixed aggregation logic for monthly/yearly stats.
- **UI/UX Branding:** Standardized the color scheme across the entire platform using **Soft Peach (#FFDBBB)** and **Warm Orange (#FFC068)**.

### Fixed
- Resolved `Undefined variable $currentPath` in File Manager.
- Fixed `unknown property: CmsPost::title` by correctly mapping to the `name` attribute.
- Fixed folder permission issues in Docker environment by enforcing 0777 on the uploads directory.
- Resolved broken icons in Sidebar and Footer widgets by aligning with project standards.

### Removed
- Cleaned up the codebase by removing legacy themes (`abt`, `mub`, `new1`), reducing the project size by 434 files.
