Create an admin page for the PHP framework that serves as a lightweight CMS-style dashboard and provides critical environment diagnostics. The initial version should focus on verifying database connectivity and setup status, along with providing a centralized entry point for future admin features.

Goals:

Display a dashboard accessible at /admin or similar route.
Perform a check to confirm that the database connection is working.
Report on the status of required tables or migrations.
Lay the groundwork for a broader admin/CMS interface.

Core Features:

Database Status Check:

Attempts to connect to the database using existing config.
Displays connection status (success/failure).
Optionally checks for presence of required tables or schema versions.

Admin Dashboard:

Simple HTML interface styled with base framework CSS.
Show basic environment info (PHP version, app version, DB driver, etc.).
Placeholder sections for future widgets/tools (e.g., user management, logs, settings).

Future Enhancements (Not part of MVP):

Authentication for admin access.
Real-time log viewer or recent activity feed.
SQL runner (possibly linked to the .sql file feature).
Plugin or module manager if the framework expands.

Technical Notes:

Should be built with the framework’s routing and templating system.
Should fail gracefully if the database is not configured yet.
Include minimal CSS for clean layout without third-party dependencies.
