## Purpose
**Advertiser & affiliate reporting portal** built on **CodeIgniter 4** (PHP).
Server-rendered pages for dashboards, affiliate/advertiser stats, and postback
tooling. Login-gated (see `Users::auth`).

## Controllers (top-level features)
- **Home** — dashboards & reports (the main working area)
- **Advertiser** — advertiser-facing views/reports
- **Affiliate** — affiliate stats & reports
- **Users** — login / authentication (`auth()`, `UserModel`, login tracking)

## Left-panel menu ("Affiliate Reporting" sidebar, from `app/Views/layouts/main.php`)
Each item is access-gated via `Access(...)`:
- **Affiliate Dashboard**
- **AM & BD Earning Performance**
- **Advertiser Dashboard**
- **CPA Publisher Metrics**
- **Rdr2 Traffic**
- **Amzn-Ad Traffic**
- **Rdr3 Traffic (deeplink)**
- **Datafeed Traffic**
- **Postback Report**
- **Click Stats**
- **Pub Ref Report**
- **Zero Traffic**
- **Postback Link Testing**
- **Logout**
