<h4>Global Components — JSON Parse Fix (ALL pages)</h4><ul><li><strong>CRITICAL Fixed:</strong> 18 unsafe <code>JSON.parse()</code>/<code>$.parseJSON()</code> calls in <code>foot.php</code> (10 calls) and <code>toolbar.php</code> (8 calls) — these files are included on EVERY page via the template. Any PHP warning in any AJAX response caused uncaught SyntaxError crashes platform-wide. Added global <code>safeParseJSON()</code> definition in foot.php and replaced all raw parse calls in both files.</li></ul><p><strong>Impact:</strong> This single fix eliminates JSON parse crashes across the entire platform — every page that loads foot.php and toolbar.php (which is all of them) now has protected JSON parsing for notifications, chat, checklist, toolbar actions, and all global AJAX handlers.</p><p><strong>Files:</strong> platform/components/foot.php, platform/components/toolbar.php</p>
