Controller Instructions

• Keep controllers thin and orchestration-focused: validate inputs, call services, map DTOs to view models, and return explicit MVC results.
• Do not query AutoOglasiDbContext directly from controllers.
• Preserve existing authorization and routing behavior, especially for authenticated post management and the Admin area.
• Prefer NotFound, Unauthorized, View, RedirectToAction, and similar explicit results over implicit fallthrough behavior.
• Reuse the existing AutoMapper profiles and view models before introducing new controller-specific mapping logic.
• Keep paging, sorting, TempData success/error messaging, and area redirects consistent with the existing controller patterns.
• When changing controller behavior, add or update xUnit tests for the affected action paths.
