Version 2.5.0
Current
Email code at login, live demo and security hardening

- newForgot password now works with an emailed 6-digit code instead of a link.
- newLive demo: "Take a look" on the home page opens a sample real-estate company. The demo data is reset automatically every few hours (Owner panel → Platform settings → Live demo).

- improvedSecurity: account locked for 15 minutes after 5 wrong passwords, safety headers on every page, stronger passwords (letters and numbers), private folders blocked on the web server.

- improvedLead table: click anywhere on a row to open the lead, overdue follow-ups in red, "Never called" highlighted, and a floating bar for the leads you tick.
- improvedThe page panel stays closed on every page once you close it. Menu icons are animated and the search box is in the middle of the header.
