5. GSoC'26 – Multi-category Support for Joomla [Week Report #11]

   What I have done

   • Renamed the term "secondary categories" to "additional categories" everywhere in the code.

   • Updated the frontend UI. Now, all categories are shown together under one simple label: "Categories:...".

   • Changed settings so "additional categories" options now depend on the "main category" settings to avoid conflicts.

   • Updated the Articles module to show both the main category and additional categories, but only if the user has permission to see them. It also respects the "Category Link" option.

   • Updated Cypress tests to use the new names and check the menu item settings.
