Use opacity instead of bg-color swap for proper transition-opacity
animation on mobile backdrop. Add shimmer gradient to the sidebar
loading placeholder in DashboardShell.
With ssr:false, the sidebar rendered nothing in server HTML, so the
content area took full width and page content (site name "Ciphera")
appeared in the sidebar zone. Now the dynamic import has a loading
placeholder — a 64px div with matching border/background that reserves
the sidebar space in the server HTML. Content area never occupies the
sidebar zone. Sidebar replaces the placeholder on client mount.
The sidebar now uses next/dynamic with ssr:false, meaning it renders
NOTHING in the server HTML. No DOM content = no possible flash of
"Ci" or any text during SSR-to-hydration gap. The sidebar only mounts
on the client where localStorage is immediately available, so
collapsed state is correct from the very first render.
Use framer-motion animated sidebar from 21st.dev — collapses to icons,
expands on hover. Phosphor icons instead of lucide. Remove old manual
collapse/expand and sidebar-context. Top bar has Pulse logo + user
actions, sidebar below with site picker and nav groups.
Restructure layout: top bar spans full width (Pulse logo left, user
actions right) with continuous bottom border. Sidebar sits below with
no vertical border collision. Remove logo from sidebar. Remove all
transition-colors from nav items to prevent white flash on click.
Sidebar takes full viewport height with Pulse logo at top. No Header
on site pages — UtilityBar in content area provides theme toggle, app
launcher, notifications, and user menu. Non-site authenticated pages
keep static Header. No footer on dashboard pages.
Use h-screen overflow-hidden on the root container for authenticated
views. Sidebar and content fill the remaining height below the header.
Remove footer from dashboard pages. Content scrolls inside its own
container, sidebar stays fixed in place.
Replace floating pill header with static variant for authenticated
views. Add collapsible sidebar with site picker, grouped navigation
(Analytics/Infrastructure), and mobile overlay drawer. Remove
horizontal SiteNav tab bar.
