and debugging workflows for site owners and agencies.

### Features

#### Branded Login Page Studio

 * Block-Based Layouts: Customize WordPress login, registration, and lost password
   screens with Centered Card, Split Screen, and Full-Bleed background architectures.
 * Live Interactive Preview: Real-time 1:1 preview canvas with desktop, tablet, 
   and mobile viewport switchers.
 * Atmospheric Backdrops & Contrast: High-resolution photography, solid colors, 
   and multi-stop gradients with configurable dark contrast overlays to guarantee
   WCAG AAA text readability.
 * Direct Click-to-Edit: Interactive canvas chips to jump directly to target block
   and atmosphere settings.
 * Native Form Safety: Built around WordPress core form actions — zero form replacement,
   ensuring full compatibility with 2FA, password resets, and security plugins.

#### Custom Login URL & Security Gateway

 * Custom Login Slug: Replace `/wp-login.php` with a private branded URL (e.g. `/
   portal`, `/member-login`) to mitigate automated brute-force attacks.
 * Direct 404 Blocking: Direct unauthenticated requests to `wp-login.php` return
   a standard 404 Not Found response.
 * Link Rewriting: Automatically rewrites all core-generated login, logout, and 
   password reset email links.
 * Lockout Guardrails: Slug collision checks and an emergency `NDP_DISABLE_LOGIN_URL`
   constant override in `wp-config.php`.

#### Admin Notice Center & Nag Removal

 * Centralized Notice Hub: Intercept and organize intrusive third-party admin notices
   into a clean, dedicated triage dashboard.
 * Severity Categorization: Notice cards automatically organized by Error, Warning,
   Success, and Info tabs.
 * Interactive Details: Collapsible notice inspection panels with balanced HTML 
   tag rendering.
 * Non-Destructive: Keeps WordPress core security, maintenance, and Nativus notifications
   accessible.

#### Guided Onboarding Wizard

 * 5-Step Setup: Fast, guided first-run experience for widget selection, color schemes,
   branding, login customizer, and admin experience.
 * Live Sticky Canvas: Instant feedback as settings and templates are selected.
 * Non-Blocking Handoff: Skip or complete anytime; all choices remain fully reversible
   under Settings.

#### Client Training Video Library

 * Video Tutorial Management: Curate video training for clients (YouTube, Vimeo,
   MP4).
 * Responsive Density: Showcase tutorials directly on the dashboard with 3, 6, 9,
   or 12 cards per page.
 * Clean Modal Playback: Distraction-free video player modal.

#### Advanced Admin Customization

 * Preset Color Schemes: Seven ready-made schemes (Default Slate, Deep Dark, Emerald
   Garden, Royal Purple, Sunset Orange, Ruby and Light Mode) plus a fully custom
   option.
 * Custom Color Studio: Full hex control over admin sidebar, topbar, active menus,
   hover states, cards, and borders.
 * White-Label Agency Branding: Upload custom logos, emblems, support emails, help
   URLs, and agency credits.

#### Plugin Management & Visibility

 * User & Role-Based Visibility: Curate which plugins each user or role sees in 
   the admin menu.
 * Non-Destructive White-Labeling: Simplifies client menus without breaking plugin
   updates or administrative recovery.

#### Role & User Permissions

 * Granular Access Control: Restrict access to specific settings, styles, and dashboard
   modules by user role.
 * Protected Maintainer Accounts: Safeguard administrator accounts from accidental
   lockouts.

#### WooCommerce & Performance Dashboards

 * Store Analytics: Revenue metrics, orders queue, inventory tracking, and top products.
 * AI Order Insights: Actionable store summaries and fulfillment guidance based 
   on live signals.
 * Google PageSpeed Insights: In-dashboard Lighthouse performance metrics for mobile
   and desktop.

#### Database Housekeeping & Performance

 * Database Cleanup: Clean post revisions, auto-drafts, spam comments, and expired
   transients.
 * Table Optimization: Safe optimization for database tables.
 * Heartbeat Control: Relaxed background Heartbeat frequency to reduce server CPU
   load.

#### Debug & Diagnostic Logging

 * Diagnostic Logger: Filtered error logging with test logging and downloadable 
   log archives.
 * UI Debugging: Built-in diagnostic tools to inspect active filters, constants,
   and settings states.

### External Services

Nativus Dashboard can connect to external services only when an administrator configures
or intentionally uses those features.

#### Google PageSpeed Insights

The optional PageSpeed Insights widget sends the configured test URL, selected strategy,
locale, and administrator-provided API key to the Google PageSpeed Insights API 
to retrieve Lighthouse performance results. API key verification also uses the standard
WordPress HTTP user agent, which may include the WordPress version and site URL.
This feature requires an administrator-provided Google API key and can be disabled
from the dashboard widget settings.

Service: Google PageSpeed Insights API
 Service URL: https://pagespeed.web.dev/ 
Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### YouTube Tutorials

If an administrator adds a YouTube tutorial video, the tutorial interface may request
YouTube thumbnail images and embedded player URLs for that video. The plugin sends
the YouTube video ID in those administrator-configured thumbnail and embed requests.

The first onboarding step offers an introduction video from YouTube (video ID OCSdraDf8OU,
using youtube-nocookie.com). Nothing is requested from YouTube until the administrator
presses the play button.

Service: YouTube
 Service URL: https://www.youtube.com/ Terms: https://www.youtube.

#### Support Links

Support links are normal user-clicked links. The plugin does not automatically append
site, WordPress, PHP, diagnostic, or license data to those links.

### Bundled Libraries

#### Chart.js

Nativus Dashboard bundles Chart.js locally for WooCommerce dashboard charts. It 
is not loaded from a CDN or remote endpoint.

Library: Chart.js
 Version: 4.5.1 License: MIT Source: https://www.chartjs.org/ 
Bundled license: assets/vendor/chartjs/LICENSE.md

#### Login template photographs

The Login Page Studio template photos are bundled with the plugin (assets/images/
login-templates/) and are served from your own site. They are free-to-use images
from Unsplash (used under the Unsplash License), resized and compressed. See docs/
ASSET-LICENSES.md in the source repository.

### Roadmap

Nativus Dashboard shows a small “Coming soon” preview of ideas under development(
for example deeper store insights, content planning and extra login layouts). It
is informational only: it collects no data, sends nothing from your site and does
not switch off anything in the plugin. Plans can change. Updates for this plugin
are delivered only through WordPress.org.
