## [1.0.13] — 2026-03-08

### ✨ Added
- **Backup system rewritten to stream instead of buffering in RAM** — all backup operations previously loaded entire zip files into memory, risking OOM on large instances. Downloads now stream from disk in 64 KiB chunks (browsers also get a proper progress bar). Backup creation now writes directly to disk via temp files with atomic rename on success, so partial backups never appear in the saved list. Individual file archiving now streams through an 8 KiB buffer instead of reading each file fully into memory. Peak RAM usage dropped from "entire backup size" to roughly 64 KiB regardless of instance size.
- **ChanClassic theme** — a new theme that mimics the classic 4chan aesthetic: light tan/beige background, maroon/red accents, blue post-number links, and the iconic post block styling. Available in the theme picker alongside existing themes.
- **Default theme in settings.toml** — the generated `settings.toml` now includes a `default_theme` field so the server-side default theme can be set before first startup, without requiring admin panel access.
- **Home page subtitle in settings.toml** — `site_subtitle` is now present in the generated `settings.toml` directly below `forum_name`, allowing the home page subtitle to be configured at install time.
- **Default theme selector in admin panel** — the Site Settings section now includes a dropdown to set the site-wide default theme served to new visitors.

### 🔄 Changed
- **Admin panel reorganized** — sections are now ordered: Site Settings → Boards → Moderation Log → Report Inbox → Moderation (ban appeals, active bans, word filters consolidated) → Full Site Backup & Restore → Board Backup & Restore → Database Maintenance → Active Onion Address. Code order matches page order for easier future editing.
- **"Backup & Restore" renamed** to **"Full Site Backup & Restore"** to clearly distinguish it from the board-level backup section.
- **Ban appeals, active bans, and word filters** condensed into a single **Moderation** panel with clearly labelled subsections.
