Align homepage and category discovery, modern widgets, admin controls, quotes, and comments with the reference theme. Remove superseded paths and add rendering and behavior coverage. Update stale asset and finance contracts; all 760 Node tests and 139 widget assertions pass.
- Rewrite post_list/filter schema (PHP + JS) with the reference theme's
field set, order, defaults and dependencies; topics fields excluded
(no topics taxonomy), AKSRT private filter_* toggles dropped
- Support dynamic checkbox options in AksField (options as formData key)
so cat_custom_filter.custom_filters lists the custom_filter dimensions
- Map PostDisplay filter settings to the new keys without legacy fallback;
cat_custom_filter now carries lists/dropdown fieldsets and array filters
- Wire the archive chain to reference semantics: cat_custom_filter
overrides per-category filter projects, custom_filter_show gates the
default display, dimension chip groups render on category/tag archives
- Filter archive queries (main query + AJAX endpoint) by _aksrt_cf_{key}
meta with exact-quoted LIKE matching
- Add advanced-filter settings reference contract test
Sidebar visibility had two disconnected decisions: the body site-layout-*
class (via aksrt_is_show_sidebar_filter) only checked widget activity for
singles, while the homepage aside renderer skipped the column and
sidebar.php rendered an empty one. With the toggle on and no widgets, the
homepage kept a reserved gutter and squeezed the main content aside.
- collapse every scene to no-sidebar when the sidebar widget stack is empty
- resolve home_sidebar before the page branch so a static front page is
checked against the zones the homepage renders
- guard the homepage aside with aksrt_is_show_sidebar() alone and drop the
duplicate aksrt_homepage_has_sidebar gate
- early-return sidebar.php instead of rendering an empty column
- drop dead code: archive helper $preferred param, wp_is_mobile fallback,
container--no-sidebar class, unreachable front-page fallback
- update post-visual-contract to pin the single visibility decision
Verification: php -l on all changed files; node --test
tests/widget-system/*.test.cjs 242/243 (the toast-contract failure is
pre-existing and unrelated).
Align main shells to main.container > .content-wrap + .sidebar siblings, drop
content-shell padding on dual-column hosts, and remove route flex overrides that
disabled the negative-margin sidebar math.
Move 288 types from global AKSRT_* + inc/classes manual requires into
namespace AKSRT\{Domain} under src/AKSRT/, wire composer.json psr-4,
and slim bootstrap to helpers/modules/hooks only. Split multi-class
widget/gateway files, update admin contract audit paths, and document
the layout in ADR/README.
