Obrigado pelo relatório @Steradiant 👍
Agora mostraremos um diálogo de confirmação se o usuário estiver prestes a perder o acesso a uma categoria ao alterar suas permissões
>
>
> When moderators with \`moderators\_manage\_categories\` enabled change category perm…issions, they could accidentally remove their own access, requiring admin intervention to fix.
>
> This adds a client-side confirmation dialog that warns moderators before saving permission changes that would lock them out. If confirmed, the changes are saved and the user is redirected to the home page.
>
> Changes:
> \- Add \`\_wouldLoseAccess()\` check in edit-category controller that compares new permissions against the user's group memberships
> \- Show confirmation dialog via \`dialog.yesNoConfirm()\` before saving
> \- Redirect to home page after confirmed save (since user can no longer access the category edit page)
> \- Fix \`onSelectGroup\` to properly set \`group\_id\` for custom groups by looking up from \`site.groups\` (was only working for auto groups)
>
> Here's how the confirm dialog looks like
