- Default backup_dir is now ../backups (relative to JPATH_ROOT), which resolves outside public_html on most hosting setups - Added BackupDirectory::normalizePath() to resolve ../ segments without requiring the path to exist on disk - Added BackupDirectory::portablize() to auto-detect absolute paths and replace them with portable placeholders ([HOME], ../backups) - ProfileTable::check() auto-normalizes backup_dir on save - Install postflight auto-migrates old in-webroot defaults to ../backups - Dashboard warning now checks resolved path instead of string matching - .htaccess protection only applied when directory is inside web root
