 - [x] Replace <details> with <fieldset>/<legend> in cleanup fragments (like contenus.php)
 - [x] Standardise test group recipes: lint-php, lint-css, lint-js, test + add fix recipe + make lint pass clean
 - [x] Remove Mot de passe column from acces.php, add key.svg icon button in Actions to copy password to clipboard, reorder actions (URL/password/edit/toggle/archive), switch URL icon to link-simple.svg
+- [x] Fix CC2r: removed hidden seeds (were stale/overriding user input), render initial licence-choice from \$formData; Interne want_license unchecked clears CC2r+licence, switching from other modes preserves values; CC2r independent toggle; licence dropdown has no-licence placeholder
