Changed

• Taxonomy rendering in the accordion now uses backend-provided payload data instead of client-side taxonomy inference.


• The Description tab can now show the current competency taxonomy beside the descriptive content.


• Related competency wording was simplified to "Related dimensions" in both language packs.


• Rules tab rendering now uses backend-provided outcome text, required-warning text, and mandatory counters.


• Locked cards, due-date badges, summary status badges, and Rules icons now use plugin image assets instead of inline SVG markup.


• English and Brazilian Portuguese strings were streamlined to match the new taxonomy card and Rules tab behaviour.


• Documentation audit: README.md now matches current implementation for custom field shortnames/provisioning, admin settings, cache map, event observers, and frontend asset counts.

Removed

• Comments section with reply functionality in accordion panels (showcomments setting, external services, JS, CSS, and language strings).
