CC MANAGED MULTIBRAND ENQUIRY | PHP 5.6

1. BACK UP current services/multibrand-products directory and database.
2. This is an UPDATE for the existing CC Multibrand module. Existing cc_mb_enquiries and cc_mb_enquiry_matches tables MUST already exist. If not, install the previous module schema first.
3. Upload services/multibrand-products folder into public_html/services/multibrand-products.
4. Import only this package schema.sql (adds cc_mb_managed_shortlist and cc_mb_managed_activity).
5. Update admin-auth-bridge.php to call your EXISTING verified CC admin login checker. Default DENY is intentional; do not change to return true without a real authentication check.
6. Confirm config/database.php exposes network_db() and includes/header.php / includes/footer.php exist. global-layout.php also detects uploaded dated header/footer variants. If your live names differ, edit its allowlist.
7. Public: /services/multibrand-products/
   Member: /services/multibrand-products/member/
   Admin: /services/multibrand-products/admin/
8. Enquiries are PRIVATE to CC. Manufacturer accounts have NO enquiry access in this model. Product matches are preliminary keyword matches; CC must verify technical suitability and contact suppliers outside the platform.
9. No email, WhatsApp, quotation sending or automatic manufacturer routing is implemented.
10. Previous cc_mb_manufacturer_leads table is LEFT UNCHANGED to preserve history, but this version does not create new leads. Remove links to the old manufacturer dashboard from your menus.
11. PHP 5.6 runtime and existing header compatibility must be tested on Hostinger before production use.
