Pull Request Overview
This PR adds PHP 8.4 compatibility to CodeIgniter 3's Session library by removing the deprecated ini_set('session.sid_length') call, along with comprehensive documentation of all PHP 8.4 compatibility changes applied to Cloudlog.
- Removes
ini_set('session.sid_length')call to avoid PHP 8.4 deprecation warnings - Adds documentation file summarizing all PHP 8.x compatibility changes (Dynamic Properties, E_STRICT, mbstring, etc.)
- Uses calculated
$sid_lengthvalue internally for session ID validation instead of setting it via INI

Comprehensive documentation of all PHP 8.x compatibility changes applied to Cloudlog's CI3 core |
Updated the type hint for the $params argument in encrypt and decrypt methods to ?array, allowing null values. This improves compatibility with optional parameters.
This reverts commit da438b5.
Adds backup authentication cookie to address session issues and enhances logging for debugging session and cookie states. Updates encryption methods to handle null/empty data, refines session validation logic, and modernizes cookie parameter usage for PHP compatibility. Also improves error reporting and session cleanup during logout.
Adds session validation and debug logging to User controller's edit method. Updates User_model authorize() to handle missing users with error logging. Refactors Cache library to declare driver properties and ensure driver loading for PHP 8.2+ compatibility.
Inserted calls to user_model->validate_session() in all controller constructors to ensure user sessions are validated before authorization checks. This improves session handling and security across the application.
Replaces manual setcookie calls with CodeIgniter's delete_cookie helper for 'remember_me' and 'cloudlog_auth' cookies during logout. This ensures proper handling of cookie prefixes and improves consistency with framework practices.
Debug log statements were removed from User controller, User_model, and Session library to reduce log verbosity and improve performance. This cleanup helps focus logs on relevant events and avoids cluttering log files with routine session and authentication details.

Bug: Authentication Restoration: The Zero Problem
In the backup auth cookie restoration logic, the condition if ($user_id) will fail if the decrypted user_id is 0, since 0 is falsy in PHP. This prevents users with user_id = 0 (if such exists) or similar edge cases from being restored. The check should verify non-null or non-empty explicitly rather than relying on truthiness.

Bug: Cookie samesite Ambiguity Leads to Instability
Setting 'samesite' => '' (empty string) in cookie parameters may not behave as expected across different PHP and browser versions. An empty string for samesite is ambiguous; it should be either removed from the array, set to a valid value like 'Lax', or conditionally handled based on PHP version. This could cause session cookies to behave inconsistently.
Added a session validation check in the User controller's index method. If the session is not valid, users are redirected to the login page before authorization is checked.
Introduces user session validation checks to all controller actions before authorization checks. This ensures users are redirected to the login page if their session is invalid, improving security and consistency across the application.
Cloudlog runs on CodeIgniter 3, which requires patches for PHP 8.4 compatibility. This PR implements the necessary CI3 core updates.
