Universal Compatibility via Wildcards (*)

• You can now use * in any CSV column (year_from, year_to, make, model, series) to indicate “match any value”.
• Example: *,*,Toyota,*,* matches all Toyota vehicles regardless of year, model, or series.
• Example: *,*,*,*,* creates a truly universal rule matching every vehicle in the database.
• Wildcard rules do not create unnecessary Vehicle CPT entries — they link products dynamically.
• Wildcard matching is now case-insensitive, so TOYOTA, toyota, and Toyota are treated the same.

Import & Export Improvements

• Imports normalize blank cells as * automatically.
• Exports preserve * wildcards exactly as they were set.
• CSV imports generate soft warnings when a concrete make/model is referenced but no matching vehicles exist (case-insensitive).

Safe Deletion

• The Delete All Unlinked Vehicles tool now checks both direct product links and wildcard-based rules before deletion.
• Vehicles that match at least one wildcard rule will never be deleted, preventing accidental loss of linked data.
