- Entity::update() now checks rowCount; returns false when no rows affected.
- Entity::update() preserves modified_fields on PDOException (try/catch).
- Device::set_device_token() caches auth() call instead of 3 repeated invocations.
- User::__construct() removed eager profile query; profile() now lazy-loads via get_pet_instance().
- alias_is_uniq() in Areas and Devices models accepts optional exclude_id to skip self on update.
- Controllers updated to pass entity id to alias_is_uniq() so updating alias to current value succeeds.
- CronController::run_regular_cron_scripts() wraps each script in try/catch; logs failure and continues.
- App::api_auth_guard() replaced exit() with return false; EventsHandlers stops routing on auth rejection.
- Tests added: EntityCrud (missing-record + preserved-fields), UserEntity (lazy-loading),
  CronController (failure-continuation), AppAuthGuard (structured 401 output),
  Areas/Devices validation (same-alias update allowed).
- Test bootstrap: added logs_enable/logs_folder to FCONF to suppress PHP warnings in Cron tests.
