For developers: what the fix changed

The fix adds an access check using hook_file_download in _agora_theme_csv_element() to ensure the user has permission to download the CSV file before rendering its preview, and prevents caching of the preview for private files using _agora_theme_csv_no_reuse().

Also in this release The release also includes several bug fixes and improvements, such as fixing focus rings, adjusting logo dimensions, adding a theme setting for the masthead opening line, and updating documentation.

Tell me who you are, what your organisation does, and what you need. That might be a Drupal site that needs looking after, an upgrade to get done before December, or an agency that needs Drupal cover.

If I can help, I'll say so and suggest a call. If I can't, I'll tell you straight away rather than waste your time.

For context: I work mainly with UK membership bodies, charities and research organisations, and with the agencies that look after their websites. Not recruiters.
