AI ASSISTANT PLUGIN - DYNAMIC BRANDING IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE
================================================================================

✅ TASK COMPLETED: All branding elements are now dynamically controlled via 
                   admin settings. NO static branding remains anywhere.

================================================================================
WHAT WAS IMPLEMENTED
================================================================================

   ✅ 13+ configurable branding options:
      - Console Title
      - Welcome Heading  
      - Welcome Text
      - Custom Logo (file upload via media manager)
      - 10 color settings (primary, secondary, success, error, etc.)
      - 2 thinking animation gradient colors

2. TEMPLATE (tmpl/console.php)
   ✅ Dynamically loads branding settings from database
   ✅ Injects CSS variables with admin-configured colors
   ✅ Shows custom logo OR default SVG icon
   ✅ Uses dynamic text for title, heading, welcome message
   ✅ Passes all branding to JavaScript via window.AI_ASSISTANT_CONFIG
   ✅ All output properly escaped for security

3. CSS (media/css/console.css)
   ✅ Removed ALL hardcoded colors
   ✅ Uses CSS variables exclusively: var(--ai-primary), etc.
   ✅ Applied to:
      - All button colors and hover states
      - All text colors (normal and muted)
      - All background colors
      - All border colors
      - All status indicators (success/warning/error)
      - Thinking animation gradient
      - Action item backgrounds
      - Message colors
      - Modal and sidebar colors

4. JAVASCRIPT (media/js/console.js)
   ✅ Accesses branding via window.AI_ASSISTANT_CONFIG.branding
   ✅ Uses dynamic colors in:
      - clearConversation() - welcome screen text
      - viewLogs() - log level colors (error/warning/success)
      - testApiConnection() - diagnostic message colors
   ✅ All dynamic text properly escaped

5. LANGUAGE STRINGS (language/en-GB/plg_system_aiassistant.ini)
   ✅ Added 26+ new language strings for branding settings
   ✅ Labels and descriptions for all fields
   ✅ Organized under "; Branding" section

================================================================================
VERIFICATION - NO STATIC BRANDING REMAINS
================================================================================

✅ CSS: Only default fallback values in :root (overridden by template)
✅ JavaScript: Only fallback strings for when settings are empty
✅ PHP Template: All text/colors loaded from admin settings
✅ HTML: No hardcoded colors, logos, or text
✅ No inline styles with static colors (except the dynamic inline <style>)
