chore(release): set APP_VERSION to v2.2.2 [skip ci]

- Update scripts/manual-sync.sh to pull v2.0.2, backup extra demo/Pro dirs,
  and safely rsync core code without touching data, bundles, or site overrides
- After sync, automatically flip FR_DEMO_MODE to true in config/config.php
  so the droplet always runs in demo mode
- Block TOTP enable/disable/setup and recovery code generation for the
  demo account when FR_DEMO_MODE is enabled, returning 403 with clear
  JSON errors

 # Changelog
 
+## Changes 11/29/2025 (v2.2.2)
+
+release(v2.2.2): feat(folders): show inline folder stats & dates
+
+- Extend FolderModel::countVisible() to track earliest and latest file mtimes
+- Format folder created/modified timestamps via DATE_TIME_FORMAT on the backend
+- Add a small folder stats cache in fileListView.js to reuse isEmpty.php responses
+- Use shared fetchFolderStats() for both folder strip icons and inline folder rows
+- Show per-folder item counts, total size, and created/modified dates in inline rows
+- Make size parsing more robust by accepting multiple backend size keys (bytes/sizeBytes/size/totalBytes)
+
+---
+
+## Changes 11/28/2025 (v2.2.1)
+
+release(v2.2.1): fix(storage-explorer): DOM-safe rendering + docs for disk usage
+
+- Refactor adminStorage breadcrumb builder to construct DOM nodes instead of using innerHTML.
+- Rework Storage explorer folder view to render rows via createElement/textContent, avoiding DOM text reinterpreted as HTML.
+- Keep deep-delete and pagination behavior unchanged while tightening up XSS/CodeQL concerns.
+- Update README feature list to mention disk usage summary and Pro storage explorer (ncdu-style) alongside user groups and client portals.
+
+---
+
+## Changes 11/28/2025 (v2.2.0)
+
+release(v2.2.0): add storage explorer + disk usage scanner
+
+- New **Storage / Disk Usage** admin section with snapshot-based totals and "Top folders by size".
+- Disk usage CLI scanner (`src/cli/disk_usage_scan.php`) and background rescan endpoint.
+
+- New **Storage Explorer** (drilldown, top files view, deep-delete actions) available in FileRise Pro v1.2.0.
+- Non-Pro installsshow a blurred preview of the explorer with upgrade prompts.
+
+Features
+
+- Add new "Storage / Disk Usage" section to the Admin Panel with a summary card and "Top folders by size" table.
+- Introduce CLI disk usage scanner (src/cli/disk_usage_scan.php) that walks UPLOAD_DIR, applies FS::IGNORE()/SKIP(), and persists a structured snapshot to META_DIR/disk_usage.json.
+- Add /api/admin/diskUsageSummary.php and /api/admin/diskUsageTriggerScan.php endpoints to expose the snapshot and trigger background rescans from the UI.
+- Wire the new storage section into adminPanel.js with a Rescan button that launches the CLI worker and polls for a fresh snapshot.
+
+Improvements
+
+- Storage summary now shows total files, folders, scan duration, and last scan time, plus grouped volume usage across Uploads / Users / Metadata when available.
+- "Top folders by size" table supports a Pro-only "show more" interaction, but still provides a clean preview in the core edition.
+- Slight spacing / layout tweaks so the Storage card doesn’t sit flush against the Admin Panel header.
+
+Pro integration
+
+- Keep the full ncdu-style "Storage explorer" (per-folder drilldown + global Top files, deep delete toggle, size filters, etc.) behind FR_PRO_ACTIVE via /api/pro/diskUsageChildren.php and /api/pro/diskUsageTopFiles.php.
+- Pro-only delete-from-explorer actions are exposed via /api/pro/diskUsageDeleteFilePermanent.php and /api/pro/diskUsageDeleteFolderRecursive.php, reusing FileModel and FolderModel admin helpers.
+- Non-Pro instances still see the explorer teaser, but the table body is blurred and padded with "Pro" badges, clearly advertising the upgrade path without exposing the Pro internals.
+
+DX / internals
+
+- Centralize disk usage logic in DiskUsageModel: snapshot builder, summary (including volumes), per-folder children view, and global Top N file listing.
+- Ensure adminStorage.js is idempotent and safe to re-init when the Admin Panel is reopened (guards on data-* flags, re-wires only once).
+- Add robust PHP-CLI discovery and log output for the disk usage worker, mirroring the existing zip worker pattern.

+## Changes 11/27/2025 (v2.1.0)
+
+🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving. 🥧🍁🍽️
+
+release(v2.1.0): add header zoom controls, preview tags & modal/dock polish
+
+- **feat(ux): header zoom controls with persisted app zoom**
+  - Add `zoom.js` with percent-based zoom API (`window.fileriseZoom`) and `--app-zoom` CSS variable.
+  - Wrap the main app in `#appZoomShell` and scale via `transform: scale(var(--app-zoom))` so the whole UI zooms uniformly.
+  - Add header zoom UI (+ / − / 100% reset) and wire it via `data-zoom` buttons.
+  - Persist zoom level in `localStorage` and restore on load.
+
+- **feat(prefs): user toggle to hide header zoom controls**
+  - Add `hide_header_zoom_controls` i18n key.
+  - Extend the Settings → Display fieldset with “Hide header zoom controls”.
+  - Store preference in `localStorage('hideZoomControls')` and respect it from `appCore.js` when initializing header zoom UI.
+
+- **feat(preview): show file tags next to preview title**
+  - Add `.title-tags` container in the media viewer header.
+  - When opening a file, look up its `tags` from `fileData` and render them as pill badges beside the filename in the modal top bar.
+
+- **fix(modals): folder modals always centered above header cards**
+  - Introduce `detachFolderModalsToBody()` in `folderManager.js` and call it on init + before opening create/rename/move/delete modals.
+  - Move those modals under `document.body` with a stable high `z-index`, so they’re not clipped/hidden when the cards live in the header dock.
+
+- **fix(dnd): header dock & hidden cards container**
+  - Change `#hiddenCardsContainer` from `display:none` to an off-screen absolutely positioned container so card internals (modals/layout) still work while represented as header icons.
+  - Ensure sidebar is always visible as a drop target while dragging (even when panels are collapsed), plus improved highlight & placeholder behavior.
+
+- **feat(ux): header dock hover/lock polish**
+  - Make header icon buttons share the same hover style as other header buttons.
+  - Add `.is-locked` state so a pinned header icon stays visually “pressed” while its card modal is locked open.
+
+- **feat(ux): header drop zone and zoom bar layout**
+  - Rework `.header-right` to neatly align zoom controls, header dock, and user buttons.
+  - Add a more flexible `.header-drop-zone` with smooth width/padding transitions and a centered `"Drop Zone"` label when active and empty.
+  - Adjust responsive spacing around zoom controls on smaller screens.
+
+- **tweak(prefs-modal): improve settings modal sizing**
+  - Increase auth/settings modal `max-height` from 500px to 600px to fit the extra display options without excessive scrolling.
+
+---
+
+## Changes 11/26/2025 (v2.0.4)
+
+release(v2.0.4): harden sessions and align Pro paths with USERS_DIR
+
+- Enable strict_types in config.php and AdminController
+- Decouple PHP session lifetime from "remember me" window
+- Regenerate session ID on persistent token auto-login
+- Point Pro license / bundle paths at USERS_DIR instead of hardcoded /users
+- Tweak folder management card drag offset for better alignment
+
+---
+
+## Changes 11/26/2025 (v2.0.3)
+
+release(v2.0.3): polish uploads, header dock, and panel fly animations
+
+- Rework upload drop area markup to be rebuild-safe and wire a guarded "Choose files" button
+  so only one OS file-picker dialog can open at a time.
+- Centralize file input change handling and reset selectedFiles/_currentResumableIds per batch
+  to avoid duplicate resumable entries and keep the progress list/drafts in sync.
+- Ensure drag-and-drop uploads still support folder drops while file-picker is files-only.
+- Add ghost-based animations when collapsing panels into the header dock and expanding them back
+  to sidebar/top zones, inheriting card background/border/shadow for smooth visuals.
+- Offset sidebar ghosts so upload and folder cards don't stack directly on top of each other.
+- Respect header-pinned cards: cards saved to HEADER stay as icons and no longer fly out on expand.
+- Slightly tighten file summary margin in the file list header for better alignment with actions.
+
+---
+
+## Changes 11/23/2025 (v2.0.2)
+
+release(v2.0.2): add config-driven demo mode and lock demo account changes
+
+- Wire FR_DEMO_MODE through AdminModel/siteConfig and admin getConfig (demoMode flag)
+- Drive demo detection in JS from __FR_SITE_CFG__.demoMode instead of hostname
+- Show consistent login tip + toasts for demo using shared __FR_DEMO__ flag
+- Block password changes for the demo user and profile picture uploads when in demo mode
+- Keep normal user dropdown/admin UI visible even on the demo, while still protecting the demo account
+
+---
