refactor(core): introduce modular architecture and restructure theme into clean, maintainable components
This commit introduces a complete internal refactoring of the theme architecture, transitioning from a monolithic functions.php structure to a modular, scalable system. ### Key Changes #### 1. Modular Architecture - Extracted core logic into dedicated modules under `/inc/` - Introduced clear separation of concerns: - `helpers/` → shared utility functions - `performance/` → optimization and media processing logic - `customizer/` → fully modularized Customizer structure - `template-*` → presentation and template-related logic #### 2. Customizer Refactor - Replaced legacy monolithic customizer with modular system: - `core.php` → base setup - `general.php`, `layout.php`, `toc.php`, `social.php` → feature-based modules - Improved maintainability and extensibility for future settings #### 3. Performance Layer Separation - Moved performance-related logic into `/inc/performance/` - Clearly separated: - frontend performance tweaks (scripts, CSS, cleanup) - media optimization tools (batch processing, cleanup UI) - Reduced coupling between UI, logic, and processing #### 4. Media Optimization Pipeline Stabilization - Re-aligned upload pipeline with WordPress native flow - Restored proper use of `wp_generate_attachment_metadata` - Ensured compatibility with: - format conversion (AVIF/WebP) - responsive image generation - WordPress core image handling #### 5. Cleaner Hook Management - Removed duplicated hooks and redundant filters - Standardized hook priorities and responsibilities - Ensured consistent use of feature toggles (`get_theme_mod`) #### 6. Improved Code Quality - Reduced function duplication - Standardized naming conventions - Improved readability and inline documentation - Removed legacy patterns and implicit dependencies #### 7. Asset Handling Improvements - Introduced centralized asset versioning via `filemtime` - Improved script loading strategy (defer non-critical JS) - Cleaner enqueue structure for styles and scripts #### 8. Foundation for Future Development This refactor lays the groundwork for: - easier feature expansion - better testability - improved debugging capabilities - long-term maintainability ### Breaking Changes - Internal file structure has changed significantly - Direct modifications to old functions.php logic may no longer apply - Customizer extensions must now hook into modular structure --- This is a purely structural and architectural release. No intentional changes to frontend behavior were introduced, but the internal system is now significantly more robust and maintainable.
