Summary

Extend the content snapshot engine to capture additional related tables:

#__fields (where context = 'com_content.article') — custom field definitions
#__fields_values — custom field values for articles
#__fields_categories — field-to-category mappings
#__tags — tag definitions (currently only tag mappings are captured)
#__ucm_content — unified content metadata

Why

Sites using Joomla custom fields lose field data when restoring article snapshots. The current snapshot captures tag mappings but not the tag definitions themselves, so restored tag mappings may point to non-existent tags.

Files

src/Engine/SnapshotEngine.php — add tables to TYPE_TABLES/ARTICLE_RELATED
src/Engine/SnapshotRestoreEngine.php — add PRIMARY_KEYS and truncate filters
