Development Update: A Better Fresh Install

A clean installation should introduce the system, not hand the administrator a list of chores.

Recent NovaNuke work has focused on the experience immediately after installation. Recommended bundled modules can be provisioned together, NovaModern becomes the initial theme, enabled modules are easier to discover and authenticated members have a visible way to sign out.

The administration module and theme actions also use progressive requests where supported while retaining ordinary POST and CSRF-protected fallbacks.

These changes do not add a dramatic new feature. They remove friction from the first few minutes with the CMS—and that is exactly why they matter.
