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).

--divider in both light and dark modes now auto-derives from the theme's
background and text colours using color-mix(in srgb, bg 85%, text), so
accent-coloured or custom-background themes get a correct divider without
any extra config. An explicit `divider` key in theme.yml overrides this
for the rare cases where exact control is needed.
docs/claude-design.md and CLAUDE.md updated accordingly.

- New theme.yml keys: nav-link, nav-link-active, nav-section-heading (per
light/dark mode). Fixes themes where nav-background equals accent, which
made active nav links invisible against their own background.
- New colours-semantic-dark block overrides callout semantic colours in dark
mode only, preventing washed-out callout borders and backgrounds on dark
page backgrounds.
- CSS: nav item and section heading selectors now use the new CSS variables
with graceful fallbacks to existing defaults — no breakage for themes that
don't set the new keys.
- app/theme.yml starter updated with new keys (commented examples) and
sensible colours-semantic-dark defaults.
- CLAUDE.md updated with full key reference table and guidance on when to
use nav colour overrides.
- docs/claude-design.md: new authoring guide for Claude Design covering
contrast rules, nav pattern examples, and a pre-publish checklist.
