* License: Keys beginning with 'vendbase' now validate via Polar.sh (customer-portal API) instead of LemonSqueezy; added activatePolarLicense, validatePolarLicense, isVendbasePolarKey; settings validates Polar keys on load; Polar keys are cleared locally on remove (no deactivate API)
* Settings/License: Fixed race where Polar license briefly showed "Licence Active" then disappeared on refresh - removed on-load validation that cleared the license when the Polar API returned false (network/API errors were incorrectly treated as invalid)
* Update: Pointed plugin updater to
https://www.vendbase.io/api/v1/update/latest; aligned structure with snipvault updater; fixed after_update to clear transient; added null-safe handling for optional API sections (changelog); updated requires_php/tested/requires to match API (8.1, 6.7, 6)
* Dashboard: Animated number transitions on stat cards (Products sold, Net sales, Total orders, Total sales, Average order value, Refunds) using VueUse useTransition for smooth count-up effect
* Toolbar/UI: Refined user menu - user info block (avatar, name, email) at top of dropdown, clearer theme section header, rounded hover states on theme options, full-width logout with subtle destructive hover; avatar kept compact (w-6) with ring hover/focus states
* UI/Notifications: Migrated toast notifications from custom component to vue-sonner - toasts now use Sonner with zinc-themed styling, rich colors, and close buttons; notify() and removeNotification() API unchanged for backward compatibility
* Setup/API: Fixed Germanized settings not displaying saved values in app - endpoint now populates each setting's `value` from the database (via WC_Admin_Settings::get_option) so stored values appear correctly after load
* Dashboard: Sales performance chart colors now support light and dark mode (colorLight/colorDark per series)
* Dashboard: Refined Sales performance chart colors - purple/indigo default lines, cohesive palette aligned with design system
* Dashboard: Increased space above sparklines in stat cards (Total sales, Net sales, Total orders, Average order value, Refunds) to twice the previous spacing
* Setup/UI: Added Germanized-aware setup rendering - loads `vendbase/v1/settings/germanized`, provides tab/section navigation, and displays settings grouped by Germanized subsection
* Setup/UI: Fixed Germanized tab/section click navigation state handling and reduced border-heavy styling for a cleaner settings layout
* Setup/UI: Added Germanized field support for `single_select_page(_with_search)` and `gzd_toggle`, rendered `html`/`image` content blocks, and suppressed `hidden` fields to remove unsupported-type warnings
* Setup/Save: Bridged edited Germanized subsection values into the standard `wc/v3/settings/{group}/batch` save flow so Germanized changes save via the same update action
* Setup/Save: Fixed WooCommerce batch save limit by chunking settings updates into groups of 100 items (prevents "Unable to accept more than 100 items" errors)
* Setup/Save: Improved Germanized persistence by sending a minimal `{ id, value }` batch payload derived from edited subsection fields (avoids id-mismatch issues in full-group merges)
* Setup/Routing: Fixed tab-switch lockup by replacing route/state watchEffect loop with guarded route-to-state and state-to-route syncing for `section`
* Setup/API: Added `vendbase/v1/settings/germanized` endpoint to expose Germanized tabs, subsections, and per-subsection settings mapping for structured setup navigation

* Products/Search: Added variation-SKU parent lookup in REST product search SQL clauses so searching by variation SKU can return the parent product
* Orders/UI: Fixed order item variant links to route to `/products/{product_id}/variants/{variation_id}` instead of incorrectly using product ID for both segments

* Custom fields/UI: Added dynamic custom-meta sections to product, order, and category detail views so compatible plugin metadata can be viewed/edited directly in VendBase

* Orders/UI: Refined custom columns manager layout with stronger visual hierarchy, counters, clearer field cards, and constrained scroll areas (`max-height` + `overflow-auto`) for available/selected lists
* Orders/UI: Reduced visual noise in custom columns manager (fewer nested borders) and fixed selected-column row alignment for label, formatter, and action controls

* Orders: Refined status overview at top of orders list - replaced card grid with tabbed design (Tabs component) inside a subtle bordered container, with counts in labels when available

* Reports: Fixed customers report "Invalid parameter(s): orderby" error - use `registered_date` and `name` (WooCommerce customers API) instead of `date`
* Reports: Fixed CSV export to fetch and include all pages of table data (not just current page) when exporting full dataset
* Reports: Refactored into world-class config-driven reports generator - extensible schema (filters, layouts, formatters), reusable ReportChart/ReportSummaryCards/ReportCell components, chart view for revenue with ECharts, config-driven summary layouts (metrics/list), column formatters (date/currency/status/customer), and WordPress hook `vendbase.api.reports.types` for adding custom reports
