📝 docs: Document Bundled Admin Panel and Surface It in Features

[danny-avila]

Summary

I documented the admin panel now that it ships bundled in LibreChat's official Docker Compose stacks (see danny-avila/LibreChat#13876), and surfaced it on the Features overview so it is discoverable rather than only reachable through the sidebar.

• Added the Admin Panel to the Features hub under the Security category (components/FeaturesHub.tsx), with a LayoutDashboard icon linking to /docs/features/admin_panel.
• Added the adminPanel featuresHub.categories.security.items entry to the English dictionary (lib/ui-i18n.ts) and to all five locale dictionaries (de, es, fr, ja, zh) so the typed UIStrings contract stays satisfied across locales.
• Reworked the admin panel page (content/docs/features/admin_panel.mdx): added a Bundled with LibreChat (recommended) section documenting the docker-compose.yml (http://localhost:3000) and deploy-compose.yml (http://admin.localhost) deployments, the pass-through env vars, and the opt-out path; relabeled the previous Docker section to Standalone (separate deployment).
• Pointed the librechat.yaml landing page (content/docs/configuration/librechat_yaml/index.mdx) at the admin panel as the UI for managing the same configuration plus per-role/group overrides.
• Documented the new ADMIN_PANEL_SESSION_SECRET and ADMIN_PANEL_PORT variables in the .env reference (content/docs/configuration/dotenv.mdx), alongside the existing ADMIN_PANEL_URL.

Change Type

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Documentation update

Testing

• Ran prettier across the changed files; reformatted the longer German and French descriptions to match repo style, all others unchanged.
• Verified featuresHub.categories.security.items key parity across all six dictionaries (authentication, adminPanel, passwordReset, moderation) so the UIStrings = typeof en constraint holds for every locale.
• tsc --noEmit reports only pre-existing environment errors (missing vitest/gray-matter/fumadocs internals, ungenerated .source); none reference the edited files, and there is no "property 'adminPanel' is missing" mismatch.
• Recommended follow-up before merge: pnpm install && pnpm run build in a fully provisioned checkout to render the MDX and the Features hub.
