### Team Frontend & Profile Overhaul
- **Interactive Perks Showcase**:
- Two-column layout on the team main page with clear arguments for solo drivers (24/7 dedicated server, exclusive setup & data hub, coin bonuses, team accident protection) and team owners (auto server provisioning, full T-Admin management, automatic coin flow, AI steward integration).
- **Modernized V5 Header**: Clean header layout with title, subtitle, and direct quick access ("Create / Manage Team").
- **Profile Tab "History Point"**:
- Consolidation of points history from race data and coin transaction history into a separate, clear profile tab.
- Extended booking display to show the last 20 transactions with date, type, amount, and purpose.
- **RGB Border Effect for Shop Tab**:
- Subtle, animated multicolor glow on the outer border of the GR Coins Shop tab using modern CSS masking (`mask-composite`), without affecting label readability.
### Forum & Editor Optimization
- **WYSIWYG & BBCode Quote Function Fixed**: When inserting quotes (`[quote]`), the cursor is now automatically and reliably placed directly inside the editable quote block.
- **Global Blockquote Styling**: Stylish quote boxes with red GR accent line (`var(--primary)`), subtle transparent background, and rounded corners.
- **Frontend Subforum & Category Creation**: Moderators can now create new categories and subforums directly from the forum overview (`forum_category_create.php`), including icon, role, and parent category assignment.
- **Category Visibility Fixed**: Threads in parent categories are now reliably rendered even when subforums exist.
### Teams Navigation – Smart Consolidation
- **One Button for Everything**: The separate "TEAMS" and "T-ADMIN" navigation entries have been merged into a single, intelligent "TEAMS" menu item.
- *Team members* land directly on their own team page instead of the general overview.
- *Drivers without a team* are directed to the full team overview as before.
- **Context-Aware Dropdown Menu**: For team members, the TEAMS dropdown shows quick links to "My Team", "All Teams", and (with admin rights) "Team Management".
- **Seamless Page Switching**: Navigate from your own team page to the full overview via "ALL TEAMS" and back via "MY TEAM".
- **T-Admin Integration**: The team admin area is now accessible via a "SETTINGS" button directly on the team page and through the dropdown. A "Back to Team" link in the T-Admin sidebar returns you instantly.
- **Maintenance Page in Pit-Stop Design**: Completely redesigned maintenance page matching the modern 404 design with HUD status badges, glowing typography, and integrated admin login modal.
### Performance, Security & Backend Hardening
- **High-Performance Query Refactoring in Admin Panel**:
- Elimination of unindexed `OR` conditions in JOIN queries and integration of session-based schema caching in the Economy Admin.
- Reduction of module load time from over 3,700 ms to under 50 ms.
- **Security Hardening via CSRF Protection**: Complete CSRF token protection (`\GR\Csrf`) for all POST and AJAX actions in server management and UCP modules.
- **Modal Dialogs Instead of Native Browser Alerts**: Replacement of all blocking `alert()` and `confirm()` prompts with modular UI dialogs (`grInfo`, `grConfirm`).
- **Server Chat & Broadcast Filtering**: Precise server-side validation of server lists in chat automation prevents deactivated servers from unintentionally receiving broadcasts.
- **T-Admin Permission Checks**: Module calls for co-admins in the team area are now strictly verified against assigned permissions via `tadmin_require()`.
