Enhance branch naming logic in cyberpanel.sh and update test_fixes.sh for version checks

- Added logic to automatically prepend 'v' to development branch names if not provided in cyberpanel.sh.
- Updated test_fixes.sh to include tests for both existing and non-existent branches with and without 'v' prefix, ensuring accurate HTTP response validation.

+# Branch Prefix Fix - v2.5.5-dev Issue Resolved
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+The user discovered that when trying to install `2.5.5-dev`, the installer was incorrectly trying to access:
+```
+https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/2.5.5-dev/requirments.txt
+```
+
+But the actual branch exists as `v2.5.5-dev` (with the `v` prefix):
+```
+https://github.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/blob/v2.5.5-dev/requirments.txt
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The `Branch_Check()` function in `cyberpanel.sh` was not properly handling development version branch names. When a user entered `2.5.5-dev`, the code was setting `Branch_Name="2.5.5-dev"` instead of adding the required `v` prefix to make it `v2.5.5-dev`.
+
+## Solution Applied
+
+### 1. Enhanced Branch Name Logic
+Updated the `Branch_Check()` function to automatically add the `v` prefix for development branches:
+
+```bash
+# Handle both stable and development versions
+if [[ "$1" =~ -dev$ ]]; then
+  # Add 'v' prefix for development branches if not already present
+  if [[ "$1" =~ ^v.*-dev$ ]]; then
+    Branch_Name="${1//[[:space:]]/}"
+  else
+    Branch_Name="v${1//[[:space:]]/}"
+  fi
+  echo -e "\nSet branch name to $Branch_Name (development version)..."
+```
+
+### 2. Updated User Guidance
+Modified the version prompt to clarify that the `v` prefix will be automatically added:
+
+```
+2.5.5-dev (development version - will auto-add 'v' prefix)
+v2.3.5-dev (development version with 'v' prefix)
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+✅ **Confirmed**: The `v2.5.5-dev` branch exists and is accessible
+✅ **Confirmed**: The requirements file is available at the correct URL
+✅ **Confirmed**: The fix handles both formats (`2.5.5-dev` and `v2.5.5-dev`)
+
+## Impact
+
+- Users can now enter `2.5.5-dev` and it will automatically work as `v2.5.5-dev`
+- Existing users who were already using `v2.5.5-dev` format continue to work
+- No breaking changes to existing functionality
+- Clearer user guidance about branch naming
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `cyberpanel/cyberpanel.sh` - Enhanced `Branch_Check()` function
+- `cyberpanel/tools/test_fixes.sh` - Updated test cases
+- `cyberpanel/BRANCH_PREFIX_FIX.md` - This documentation
+
+## Test Results
+
+```bash
+# Test 1: Non-existent branch (should fail)
+curl -I https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/2.5.5-dev/requirments.txt
+# Result: 404 Not Found ✅
+
+# Test 2: Correct branch name (should work)
+curl -I https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/v2.5.5-dev/requirments.txt  
+# Result: 200 OK ✅
+```
+
+## Installation Examples
+
+### Now Works:
+```bash
+sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)
+# When prompted, enter: 2.5.5-dev
+# Will automatically use: v2.5.5-dev
+```
+
+### Still Works:
+```bash
+sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)
+# When prompted, enter: v2.5.5-dev
+# Will use: v2.5.5-dev (no change)
+```

+**Issue**: Branch prefix missing for development versions  
+**Status**: ✅ Resolved
