Two bugs fixed in navigateTo:
1. When a category has visibilityifnocontent: hidden (default) and the
current page has no variant for it, the renderer now silently switches
to the default category before fetching. Previously the category stayed
active (kept visible in the selector via the activeCategory guard),
the fetch failed, and an error page was shown.
2. The offline message stored in localStorage was shown for any failed
fetch, not just genuine offline situations. Now gated on !navigator.onLine
so missing pages always show pagenotfoundmessage instead.
When set to visible, the category always appears in the selector
even when no variant exists for the current page. Navigating to
such a page shows pagenotfoundmessage with no fallback to
default-category content. Default behaviour (hidden) is unchanged.
Updates pageShouldDisplay and visibleCategoryCodesForCurrentPage
to honour the new key alongside the existing notfoundmessage logic.
Docs updated with key description, summary table, and full example.
Documents all keys that can appear under default-category and
categories entries: message, name-latin, notfoundmessage,
pagenotfoundmessage, font, and line-height. Adds a summary table
and updates the full example to show these keys in context.
fetchPageFile now rejects text/html responses so servers with SPA routing
(e.g. Cloudflare Pages with /* /index.html 200) no longer trick the renderer
into treating a fallback index.html as a found markdown file. Category-variant
pages (page.current.md with no plain page.md) now fall through correctly to
their variant URL.
mdcms build now writes a self-unregistering service-worker.js when pwa: no,
evicting any stale caching worker left over from a previous pwa: yes build.
manifest.json is also removed when pwa: no.

Picks up blank <title></title> in app/index.html template (cleaner than
the hardcoded MD-CMS value; mdcms build overwrites it with sitename on
every build either way).

A YAML parse error in config.yml (e.g. a stray tab character) caused
read_config to swallow the exception and return {}, disabling categories
and producing a broken nav.yml with no variants fields and wrong filenames.
read_config now raises ClickException on both OSError and YAMLError.
Documented in docs/knownbugs.md and docs/unreleased.md.

mdcms build now writes the sitename from config.yml into the <title> tag
of index.html. WhatsApp, Slack, and other link-preview crawlers read the
static HTML without executing JavaScript, so the title must be correct in
the raw file. Previously it was blank (or "MD-CMS" in older templates).
The static <title> element previously showed "MD-CMS" before JavaScript
loaded. The JS already sets document.title from config.sitename on boot,
so clearing the initial value ensures the browser tab never displays the
hardcoded string.

iOS Safari can fail to honour transform: translateX(-100%) on position:fixed
elements, leaving the sidebar sitting over the content at z-index 100 and
blocking the mobile-header (z-index 50) that contains the hamburger.
Add visibility: hidden to the closed mobile sidebar. A transition-delay of
0.3s (matching the transform duration) keeps the slide-out animation intact —
the sidebar slides away first, then disappears. The open state resets the
transition immediately so the sidebar becomes visible before sliding in.

Pages without a category suffix still map to the default category.
Only posts/ files without a suffix get uncategorized: true in nav.yml
and category: null in search.json.

Files without a category suffix (e.g. post.md alongside post.en.md)
previously only appeared in the default category. They now appear in
every category, so untranslated content is always visible.
- mdcms.py: nav entries with a bare variant get `uncategorized: true`;
search.json keeps `category: null` instead of mapping to default code
- index.html: pageShouldDisplay, posts filter, and category dropdown
all treat uncategorized/null-category items as universally visible

* Fix category picker and hamburger using page colours instead of nav colours
Both elements render against --bg-nav but were using --font-colour (the page
text colour). Switch to --nav-link-colour / --nav-section-heading-colour /
--nav-link-active-colour so they remain legible when nav-background is set to
a colour that contrasts with the page text colour (e.g. dark blue nav with
white nav-link text).

* Fix category font not reverting when switching to a no-font category
maybeLoadCategoryFont applied a font-family to document.body but never
cleared it when switching to a category with no font defined. The inline
style overrides the CSS --font-body variable, so the category font
persisted indefinitely.
Fix: reset document.body.style.fontFamily to '' when the target category
has no font (letting --font-body take effect), and re-apply the family
string when switching back to an already-loaded font category.

Nastaliq and other complex scripts need significantly more vertical
space than Latin text. A new `line-height` key on any category entry
in config.yml overrides --line-height-body for that category and
restores the theme default when switching away.

The mobile header was hidden via mobileHeader.style.display='none' (inline style),
then a dynamically-injected <style> with !important was supposed to reveal it on mobile.
Inline styles and injected stylesheets interact inconsistently across browsers, making
the hamburger invisible on mobile in practice.
Replace with a simple CSS-only approach: add a base rule
'.layout-sidebar .mobile-header { display: none; }' so the existing media-query
'display: flex' override works through normal cascade — no inline style needed,
no !important injection needed.

Two new top-level theme.yml keys — nav-section-expand-icon and
nav-section-collapse-icon — replace the hardcoded arrow_right/arrow_drop_down
used on collapsible nav sections. Defaults preserve existing behaviour.
Eight new icon SVGs added to app/assets/icons/:
keyboard_arrow_right / keyboard_arrow_down (chevrons)
keyboard_double_arrow_right / keyboard_double_arrow_down
expand_content / collapse_content (corner arrows)
add / minimize (plus/minus)
All eight added to STANDARD_ICONS so fetch-deps bundles them correctly.
CLAUDE.md key reference and docs/claude-design.md updated with the full
icon catalogue, pairing guidance, and style notes for Claude Design.

Documents every colour pairing to check, WCAG contrast targets for each
role, and common failure modes (saturated accents, muted text on tinted
backgrounds, dark-mode text-muted). Checklist expanded with contrast items.

Separates sidebar header colours from nav link colours. The three new keys
control the site name, site description, and dark/light toggle independently,
each cascading from the nearest nav variable (nav-sitename → nav-link,
nav-description and nav-toggle → nav-section-heading) so existing themes
are unaffected.
Enables Claude Design to fine-tune sidebar header legibility on saturated or
bold nav backgrounds without having to override the nav link colours, and vice
versa. CSS selectors and applyThemeYml() updated; app/theme.yml, CLAUDE.md,
and docs/claude-design.md updated with full key reference and pattern examples.

Clarifies that nav-link, nav-link-active, and nav-section-heading affect not
just nav links but also the site name, description, and theme toggle — all
sidebar elements that inherit from these variables. Adds a rule of thumb for
when to set the keys explicitly (saturation >20%, or lightness outside the
neutral range).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NQKywehSj8Ku4yKhwB4VNB
Site name, site description, and dark/light mode toggle all used content-area
colour variables (--font-colour, --font-colour-muted, --divider) which clash
when nav-background differs from the page background. All three now reference
the nav colour variables (--nav-link-colour, --nav-link-active-colour,
--nav-section-heading-colour) with graceful fallbacks, so they remain legible
on any nav background colour without requiring new theme.yml keys.
