Summary

Add a Joomla admin dashboard (CPanel) module that shows backup status and quick-action buttons directly on the Joomla Home Dashboard, without navigating to the MokoSuiteBackup component.

Features

Backup Now button per published profile (dropdown or individual buttons)
Last backup status with date, size, and success/fail badge
Quick links: View Backups, Create Snapshot, View Profiles
Next scheduled backup info

Implementation

This requires a new admin module (mod_mokosuitebackup_cpanel) that:

Registers as a cpanel/dashboard module type
Queries BackupStatusHelper::getStatusSummary() for status data
Renders compact cards with action buttons
Uses AJAX for the Backup Now action (reuse stepped backup flow)

Alternatively, enhance the existing plg_quickicon_mokosuitebackup to include more actions beyond just the status icon.

Joomla CPanel Integration

Joomla 4/5/6 admin dashboard uses com_cpanel with module positions:

cpanel — main dashboard area
icon — quick icon area (already used by our quickicon plugin)

A dedicated cpanel module gives more control than quickicons.

Files

New package: mod_mokosuitebackup_cpanel/ (admin module)
tmpl/default.php — compact dashboard card
src/Helper/CpanelHelper.php — data queries
Update pkg_mokosuitebackup.xml to include the new module
