# Supplied HTML integrated into the existing CodeIgniter application

Date: 11 November 2026. This is the current release note; older reports describe earlier builds.

## What changed
The latest supplied `Babu_Jewellery_Phase1_Repair_Download_v2(1).zip` is the UI reference. Its actual stylesheet, photographs and fonts now drive the storefront. PHP views supply real catalog, cart, customer, creator and warehouse data instead of the reference's JavaScript demo arrays/sessionStorage. The original demo `app.js` is retained only under docs/reference-html-source and is not loaded by the application.

Storefront: announcement/header/search, creator mega menu, reference hero, occasion/creator circles, product cards with hover controls, eight featured products, collection banner, benefits, newsletter and burgundy footer. Catalog has server-side category/search/stock/brand/collection/maximum-price filters, creator-aware price sorting, real pagination, grid/list toggle and quick view. Product details have multiple-image thumbnails, zoom in/out/reset, wheel/double-click zoom, pan, large-image modal, quantity controls, real variant selection/prices and real review tabs. Cart drawer, quantity updates, wishlist, checkout summary, COD order creation, customer account/address book and secure order tracking use the database/session.

Management: navy sidebar, reference panel/table/card styling, real forms/actions and role-filtered navigation. The admin dashboard follows the HTML grouping of sales/category, creator/stock, recent-orders and quick-action panels. Search, status filtering, sorting, ten-row client pagination and CSV export decorate operational tables. These controls operate on the records loaded by each server page; they are not a full database-wide reporting engine. Exports protect against spreadsheet formula injection. Product/customer/order management no longer silently truncates the first hundred records before table pagination.

Creator pages now have dedicated routes for product selection, price controls, orders, earnings, manual payout requests, analytics and editable store profile. Warehouse dashboard presents actual catalog/stock/queue counts and links to receiving/bins, picking/QC, packing, dispatch/labels and return inspection. Existing operational workflows, permissions and financial services remain in place.

Contact messages now persist in a new contact_messages table (migration 000025), with escaped owner inbox and manual resolve action. No automatic reply/email delivery is claimed. The owner can apply pending migrations through a browser update screen. A regression test reproduced a missing contact table, applied the migration via the owner screen, and verified existing products/orders/users were unchanged.

## Existing hosting — no Terminal or SSH
1. Take a files/database backup in cPanel.
2. Extract this ZIP. Merge the CONTENTS of app/ and public/ into your existing matching app/ and public/ folders. Replace matching files. Do not add an extra enclosing project folder. Keep your .env, writable/, uploads and installed framework.
3. Sign in with your existing admin account. Open **More tools → Database Update** and click **Apply Database Update** once. This adds the contact inbox without deleting existing data.
   Your existing installation's direct address is: https://xbrainsolution.com/xb/public/index.php/admin/update
4. Open **More tools → Sample Data → Load reference samples** to add the HTML sample catalog. Loading again does not duplicate it. Refresh the storefront and use a hard refresh if old CSS is cached.
5. Use **Show real dashboard figures** when you want actual store metrics. Edit/archive sample products and replace illustrative images before accepting live sales.

Do NOT delete your database or run the installer again to apply this update. Updating does not change your existing base URL, front-controller setting or passwords. Current mount-aware URL handling is retained, including encoded links and the nested /xb/public/index.php/ installation. Gallery data URLs were also corrected for nested installations and tested after switching photographs.

## Fresh installation
Install CI4 separately as previously agreed (verified runtime: CI4 4.7.6, PHP 8.4.27). Follow docs/BROWSER-INSTALLER.md. The installer runs all migrations, including 000025. Its existing checked sample-data option now imports twelve editable products, six occasions, five creator storefronts and sample gallery images. The previous installer flow was tested in earlier builds; the fresh wizard plus the expanded sample option was not rerun in this update. The migration chain and existing-owner sample import were executed successfully on the dedicated test databases.

## Sample data rules
Sample products have real catalog/inventory records and stock movements. They can be purchased in testing. The sample importer preserves existing records and is idempotent. Sample creator logins have unknown random passwords and example.invalid emails, not public demo passwords. Example sales, creator commissions and order rows in the dashboard are isolated, explicitly labelled DEMO presentation data. They never create fake delivered orders, settlements or paid payouts. Images and portraits supplied by the HTML are illustrative, not verified photos of real products or creators. The photo/font assets are bundled locally, with source URLs and font licenses.

COD is the only active payment method. Easypaisa/JazzCash remain inactive; Leopards settings remain available and manual dispatch works independently. Creator payouts remain manual. No live external API success is claimed.

## Evidence and limits
See docs/test-evidence/html-*.json and tests/Integration/README-HTML.md. Dedicated CI4/PHP/MariaDB 11.8 databases were used, not your live hosting or Oracle MySQL. Latest scoped results: 54 HTML HTTP checks; 78 Chromium UI checks; 89 existing ecommerce HTTP checks; 75 admin/customer regression checks; 42 warehouse regression checks; 23 business-service checks; 4 browser-upgrade checks. PHP application/test syntax and the relevant PHP/JavaScript unit checks pass. Browser checks exercise 1440, 768, 390 and 320px layouts and critical interactions; they do not prove every possible content combination, browser or device.

There is no certificate of pixel-by-pixel identity. Real data, valid permissions and business forms replace illustrative demo content. Some reference demo actions are not separate production features: follower counts, fictional conversion funnels, campaign launch simulation and mock notifications are not represented as real analytics or success. Existing reports/coupons/audit tools provide their actual supported functions. Published CMS content is preserved. Missing policy/about content now shows a clear unpublished notice; the owner must write and publish those pages before launch. The FAQ contains only facts about the implemented account/COD/tracking features. No legal policies or delivery promises are fabricated.

The 142-point audit remains part of this package and explicitly records partial/missing/unverified areas. A passing UI test is not a claim that all 142 business requirements are complete or that this application is production-ready. Live hosting/TLS/mail delivery/backups, Oracle MySQL, live provider adapters/credentials and pixel-perfect acceptance remain unverified or incomplete as detailed in the audit. No fresh framework, tenant system or database replacement is included.
