-+# AudioCore V1.5
-+
-+AudioCore V1.5 is a modular CMS for labels, artists, releases, storefront sales, and support workflows.
-+
-+It is built around a plugin-first architecture so core stays clean while features can be enabled/disabled per site.
-+
-+## Key features
-+
-+- Modular plugin system (enable/disable from admin)
-+- Artists plugin (profiles, socials, artist pages)
-+- Releases plugin (catalog pages, release detail, track metadata, samples)
-+- Store plugin (cart, checkout, PayPal, orders, customers, discounts, downloads)
-+- Support plugin (ticketing, IMAP reply sync, admin replies)
-+- Newsletter module (subscriber management + templates)
-+- Media library (upload and reuse media across modules)
-+- Page builder + shortcode support
-+- Maintenance/coming-soon controls
-+- Update checker from Gitea manifest
-+
-+## Tech overview
-+
-+- PHP 8.3+
-+- MySQL/MariaDB
-+- OpenLiteSpeed/Apache compatible routing via `.htaccess`
-+- Server cron integration for background jobs (IMAP sync, chart refresh)
-+
-+## Install (high level)
-+
-+1. Upload project files.
-+2. Point web root to `dev/` (or deploy repo to desired root).
-+3. Open `/admin` to run installer.
-+4. Enter database + admin details.
-+5. Configure SMTP and run test email.
-+6. Enable required plugins and create their tables.
-+
-+## Recommended production setup
-+
-+- Keep private download storage outside public web root.
-+- Use HTTPS only.
-+- Configure SMTP correctly for transactional mail.
-+- Configure cron jobs in Admin > Cron Jobs.
-+- Keep `storage/` writable and secured.
