A modern, responsive administration workspace for WordPress.

== Description ==

Intelligent Admin Engine gives wp-admin a calmer, app-like workspace while preserving WordPress capabilities and familiar workflows.

Free features:

* Aurora Glass, Grayscale, and Midnight Azure one-click themes
* Light, dark, and system appearance modes
* Purple, blue, green, orange, red, and custom accent colors
* Four privacy-friendly system typography pairings with no external font requests
* Comfortable or compact density
* Expanded, compact, or auto-collapsing navigation
* Square, soft, or rounded corners
* Adjustable desktop sidebar width
* Surprise Me workspace styling
* Responsive dashboard cards and quick actions
* Mobile navigation with touch-friendly controls
* Capability-aware command palette and content search
* Basic global visual menu builder for non-administrator users
* Login screen that follows the selected workspace theme
* Compatibility exclusions for full-screen application interfaces

The plugin changes wp-admin and the WordPress login screen only. It does not enqueue styling on the public website.

The Free plugin is the stable core. A compatible Pro add-on can extend it without requiring users to delete their saved Free settings.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the release ZIP in Plugins > Add Plugin, or copy the `intelligent-admin-engine` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`. The main plugin path is `intelligent-admin-engine/intelligent-admin-engine.php`.
2. Activate Intelligent Admin Engine.
3. Open Intelligent Admin Engine > Appearance.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this affect the public website? =

No. Assets are limited to wp-admin and the WordPress login screen.

= Who can change the plugin settings? =

Appearance and Menu Builder settings require the `manage_options` capability. By default, that is an administrator capability. Menu presentation never grants or removes WordPress permissions.

= What does the administrator bypass in Menu Builder mean? =

Visual menu rules are applied to non-administrator users. Administrators keep the full WordPress menu as a recovery path. This affects presentation only; WordPress remains responsible for authorization.

= Does the plugin use an external service? =

No. Intelligent Admin Engine does not contact an external service, load a remote font CDN, or send plugin settings, WordPress content, or telemetry to the plugin author.

= What happens to settings when the plugin is removed? =

Workspace options and user preferences are intentionally retained to support reinstalling or moving from Free to a compatible Pro add-on. Nonessential cached state is removed.

= Can I upgrade without losing my settings? =

Yes. The Free core preserves supported settings and also avoids deleting unknown add-on fields when Free settings are saved. Follow the Pro add-on installation instructions when it becomes available.

== Privacy ==

Intelligent Admin Engine does not send settings, content, usage data, or telemetry to the plugin author or another external service.
