Upload sacci-island-admin-v2.1.5.zip through WordPress and choose Replace current with uploaded.
Then clear all cache and hard-refresh the administration area.
Releases
Every versioned push to main is linted, tested, packaged with the
sacci-island-admin/ root directory and published as a GitHub release.
WordPress reads the public update.json manifest first and falls back to the
GitHub Releases API. Dashboard → Updates → Check again bypasses SACCI's
cache and discovers a new release during that request.
