  restore. (PRO)

  display condition. (PRO)

  experience across plugin screens. (PRO)
* Card view for browsing snippets, with a view switcher on the snippets table and Community Cloud. (PRO)
* Snippet preview modal for viewing snippet code from the snippets table without opening the editor. (PRO)
* Automatic hiding of unrelated admin notices from other plugins on Code Snippets screens. (PRO)
* Admin bar snippet drawer, based on the Deckerweb Snippets workflow, for quick access to snippets and Safe Mode from
  the WordPress admin bar. (PRO)
* Snippet locking to help prevent accidental edits or deletion of important snippets. Props

  names or descriptions. (PRO)
* Bulk actions and bulk code download support in the redesigned snippets table. (PRO)
* Featured snippets and improved browsing in Community Cloud. (PRO)
* WordPress modern theme admin styling compatibility. (PRO)
* Clearer accessibility labels, headings, tab markup, table checkboxes, sort buttons, copy buttons, and drag-and-drop
  upload controls. (PRO)

  optional summary of the site environment so the team can reproduce the problem. (PRO)

### Changed

  selection. (PRO)
* Improved the snippet import and migration experience, including clearer file upload handling and third-party plugin
  migration flows. (PRO)

  states. (PRO)
* Updated the welcome screen, toolbar, import screen, and cloud screens to match the new admin experience. (PRO)
* Updated internal plugin architecture to a cleaner PSR-4 structure for better long-term maintainability. (PRO)
* Improved accessibility across the snippets table, import screen, migration flow, Community Cloud, welcome screen,
  toolbar, dialogs, tooltips, and code editor. (PRO)
* Improved colour contrast and reduced-motion support across admin screens. (PRO)
* Faster loading of large code vaults, which are now fetched a page at a time instead of all at once. (PRO)

### Fixed
* Fixed AI conversations from one connected site being visible from another. (PRO)
* Fixed a snippet list stored in Code Snippets Cloud being emptied when the site was temporarily unable to read its own
  snippets. (PRO)

  was switched off.

  snippet running under file-based execution.

  determine.
