# Sidebar-First Navigation Refactor Review ## Outcome Approved. ## Success Criteria Validation - [x] No top navbar/subnav is rendered in the final dashboard layout. - Verified `DashboardLayout` no longer imports/renders `TopBar` or `SubNav` (`src/components/DashboardLayout.tsx`). - [x] Sidebar contains the five required recruiter-facing nav labels under a `Navigation` subheader. - Verified labels: `Overview`, `Projects`, `Experience`, `Education`, `Skills` under `SectionTitle` = `Navigation` (`src/components/Sidebar.tsx`). - [x] Expanded sidebar includes a distinct `My Data` area above `Navigation`. - Verified `My Data` section is rendered before Navigation in expanded mode (`src/components/Sidebar.tsx`). - [x] Sidebar scrolling no longer exposes hidden top spacing/artifacts when scrolling upward. - Verified old top/subnav offset coupling removed from layout flow; main content is now a full-height flex region with sidebar-driven structure (`src/components/DashboardLayout.tsx`, `src/index.css`). - [x] Desktop navigation from sidebar correctly jumps/scrolls to each section. - Verified `onNavigate` targets `data-tile-id` anchors and uses smooth `scrollIntoView` (`src/components/DashboardLayout.tsx`, `src/components/Sidebar.tsx`). - [x] On mobile, sidebar is collapsed by default with hamburger at top and five icon shortcuts visible. - Verified mobile defaults to collapsed (`isMobileExpanded=false`) and renders hamburger + icon-only nav rail (`src/components/Sidebar.tsx`). - [x] On mobile expand, sidebar shows `My Data`, full navigation links (icon + text), and tags/alerts/highlights. - Verified expanded mode conditionally renders all required blocks (`src/components/Sidebar.tsx`). - [x] Navigation controls are keyboard accessible with appropriate ARIA semantics. - Verified interactive controls are native buttons, include `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`, `aria-label`, and `aria-current`, plus focus-visible styling (`src/components/Sidebar.tsx`, `src/index.css`). - [x] `npm run lint` passes. - Passes with 2 pre-existing warnings only (`react-refresh/only-export-components` in context files). - [x] `npm run typecheck` passes. - [x] `npm run build` passes. ## Validation Commands - `npm run lint` - `npm run typecheck` - `npm run build` ## Notes - Build emits existing non-blocking warnings for large chunks and `onnxruntime-web` eval usage; no blocking errors.
