Architecture notes, installer updates, release records, and engineering decisions from across the MineCave platform.
The Visual Builder now discovers a larger categorized module library from manifests and renders each module through structured settings.
The first functional visual editor now supports structured modules, property editing, reordering, previews, revisions, and publishing.
Release packaging now fails when a checkpoint lacks a registered Development Article or a visible Development Center journal entry.
Structured builder pages now support templates, draft and publication states, recycle-bin recovery, permissions, and persistent layout data.
The dashboard now discovers canonical module and widget manifests, validates their entry files, and reports compatibility problems before builder use.
Upgrade, downgrade, repair, comparison, and verification tools now live inside the authenticated MineCave dashboard.
Every checkpoint from Phase 1.9 through Phase 1.20 now has a registered article, and the Development page automatically reflects the current build and complete release archive.
The admin landing page now surfaces users, moderation, mail, releases, activity, and system health in real time.
Executive and staff dashboard access can now be configured per role while community badges remain access-free.
Verified is now the standard member role, while Unverified remains the temporary pre-verification role.
New accounts begin Unverified and Pending Verification, then become Verified and Active automatically after email confirmation.
The website now mirrors MineCave's executive, staff, premium, special, and member role hierarchy with matching badges.
Installer-created and older Owner accounts without an explicit status field can now receive password-reset emails.
Owners and administrators can manage profiles, roles, statuses, verification messages, resets, and protected account actions.
A dedicated SMTP transport now powers password resets, welcome messages, verification emails, and test delivery.
MineCave now supports admin-only, self-registration, or both, with secure activation and email-verification links.
The dashboard gained editable password-reset templates, delivery logs, SMTP health status, and exact failure diagnostics.
Password recovery gained MineCave cPanel SMTP defaults, connection testing, delivery diagnostics, and secure sender configuration.
The Settings Framework brings website, SMTP, authentication, maintenance, API, performance, and logging controls into one protected dashboard.
Username-or-email login, staff account creation, password recovery, configurable sender email, throttling, and security auditing now protect the MineCave Dashboard.
The Phase 1 Installer now checks server compatibility and SHA-256 file integrity before upgrades, downgrades, or repairs are applied.
Phase 1 now shows upgrade, downgrade, and reinstall file changes before the selected version is applied.
A reliability fix prevents comments or reactions database errors from crashing Development Articles with HTTP 500.
Upgrades and downgrades now belong to the permanent Installer, with phase packages, rollback snapshots, protected runtime files, and downgrade cleanup.
Phase 1 begins with dedicated, professional pages for every website state and automatic mode-aware homepage routing.
The Phase 0 development homepage was refined into a focused executive overview with dedicated article archives.
How automatic cPanel MySQL provisioning, dry runs, recovery, verification and locking support future MineCave builds.
The platform extends canonical folders and files instead of creating replacement copies or fragile duplicate versions.
