docs: page chrome — capped shell, full-bleed rule, flat contents rail - #905
Conversation
On a wide display nothing stopped the layout growing, so the sidebar and the table of contents stayed pinned to the screen edges while the text column sat in the middle. At 2560px that left about 650px of empty space on either side of the text and a long way to travel to reach either sidebar. The shell now stops at 1440px and centers, which leaves the sidebars beside the text instead of at the edges. Below that width nothing changes. The rule under the top bar used to be a border on the navbar plus another on the sidebar header. Both sit inside the shell, so once the shell was centered the rule stopped short of the edges. It is now drawn once, fixed to the viewport, and runs the full width behind them. `width: 100%` is spelled out on the shell because body is a flex container: on its own, `margin-inline: auto` disables the default stretch and the shell shrink-to-fits, which caps the width by accident rather than by intent. Also folds away the duplicate position, width and backdrop-filter declarations that had accumulated in the navbar rule.

The page uses a styled table-of-contents rail. The table of contents renders a scrollable heading list and tracks the active heading from scroll position. Heading anchors account for the sticky navbar offset. The layout adds a surrounding background for wide displays. Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The documentation shell refresh is otherwise ready, but its fixed top rule may appear above dialogs and popovers, causing a minor visual layering defect. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

The contents rail was a minimap: a column of ticks every 20px, heading labels snapped onto the nearest tick, a two-pass pass to stop labels landing on the same one, and a marker reading out scroll progress to two decimals. Labels only appeared on hover, so at rest it showed a row of ticks and a number. It is now a plain list of the page's headings, indented by level, with the one you are reading marked. Sizes come from the docs typeset — the eyebrow on the label layer, the links at caption size. Two fixes come out of it. Headings gain `scroll-margin-top`, so landing on a #hash no longer parks the heading behind the sticky navbar — that was broken for every deep link, not just ones from this rail. And the rail drops its own click handling in favour of the plain anchor, which gives working middle-click, back button, and copy-link. Active heading is read from scroll position rather than an IntersectionObserver. The reader is at the last heading that has passed under the navbar, which is a question about where the page is scrolled to; an observer answers which headings are on screen and leaves nothing marked whenever a section is taller than the viewport. Net 336 lines lighter.

changed the title
The sidebar already had a rule on its inner edge, separating it from the article. Now that the shell stops at 1440px and centers, its outer edges ran into the empty space beside them with nothing to close them off, so the layout read as content that had run out of room rather than a panel. Both outer edges take the same 0.5px rule, running the height of the page. They sit on the shell rather than on the sidebar and the contents rail, so the two sides cannot drift apart.

<|DELIM_4i9|>Add a responsive breakpoint for .toc.
The parent Flex defaults to a non-wrapping row. Because .toc has flex-shrink: 0 and a fixed 224px width, it remains in the layout on narrow viewports and reduces the article width. Hide or restack .toc at a narrow breakpoint. Use a 100dvh override for the rail height on mobile.

Separate the 50px navbar boundary from the 64px heading threshold. DocsNavbar is 50px high, but toc.tsx marks headings active when getBoundingClientRect().top <= NAV_OFFSET. This can mark a heading active up to 14px before it reaches the navbar. If the 14px buffer is intentional, rename NAV_OFFSET and document it as 50px + 14px; otherwise set it to 50px. A CSS custom property cannot be used directly in this TypeScript comparison.

Matches the one between the sidebar and the article, so both rails are divided from the text the same way. It starts below the navbar rather than at the top of the screen. Above that line the navbar is one strip running the whole width of the article, and there is nothing there for the rule to divide — so it meets the horizontal rule in a T rather than crossing it. The shell's outer rules still run the full height, since those are the boundary of the layout rather than a division inside it.
The rail was 224px against the sidebar's 240px. The 224 came from the mock the flat rail was built from; the 240 is the Sidebar component's own default. Neither was chosen against the other, and the mismatch showed once both rails gained edge rules and started reading as a pair. The rail takes the sidebar's 240px, which leaves the article centered between equal 101px gutters. The text measure is unchanged.
The space either side of the capped shell was the same color as the page itself, so on a wide display the outer rules read as two lines floating in the middle of nothing. It now sits on the secondary background, which makes the shell a surface rather than the edge of the content. The tone step is small in light mode and larger in dark, where secondary is a step up from primary rather than down. The outer rules stay either way, so the boundary holds even where the two grounds are close. Scoped to a wrapper inside the docs layout rather than set on body, which the marketing pages share.

Fifth in the docs stack, on top of #904. Changes to the furniture around the article.
The shell is capped
Nothing stopped the layout growing with the window. The sidebar and the contents rail stayed pinned to the screen edges while the text sat in the middle, so on a wide display they drifted a long way from what you were reading.
Measured at 2560px before:
The shell now stops at 1440px and centers, bringing the gaps to 54px a side. Below 1440px nothing changes — the cap is inert and the layout fills the window as before. Checked at 1200px: shell runs 0 → 1200, no horizontal overflow.
width: 100%is spelled out alongside the cap because body is a flex container. On its own,margin-inline: autodisables the default stretch and leaves the shell shrink-to-fitting at whatever its contents need — capping the width by accident rather than by intent.Rules on all four vertical edges
The sidebar already had one on its inner edge, between it and the article. Once the shell was centered, its outer edges ran into the empty space beside them with nothing to close them off, so the layout read as content that had run out of room rather than a panel. The contents rail had no inner rule at all.
All four now carry the same 0.5px rule:
The two outer rules sit on the shell rather than on the sidebar and the rail, so the sides cannot drift apart.
The rail also takes the sidebar's width. It was 224px against the sidebar's 240 — the 224 came from the mock the flat rail was built from, the 240 is the
Sidebarcomponent's own default, and neither was chosen against the other. At 240 the article sits between equal 101px gutters. The text measure is unchanged at 758px.The rail's inner rule starts below the navbar rather than at the top of the screen. Above that line the navbar is one strip running the whole width of the article, and there is nothing there for the rule to divide — so it meets the horizontal rule in a T rather than crossing it. The outer rules do run the full height, since those are the boundary of the layout rather than a division inside it.
The shell sits on a secondary ground
The space either side of the capped shell was the same color as the page itself, so on a wide display the outer rules read as two lines floating in the middle of nothing. It now sits on
--rs-color-background-base-secondary, which makes the shell a surface rather than the edge of the content.The step is small in light mode and larger in dark, where secondary sits above primary rather than below. The outer rules stay either way, so the boundary holds even where the two grounds are close.
It is scoped to a wrapper inside the docs layout rather than set on
body, which the marketing pages share. Below 1440px the shell fills the window and the ground is not visible.The top rule runs edge to edge
It used to be a border on the navbar plus a matching one on the sidebar header. Both live inside the shell, so once the shell was centered the rule stopped at its edges. It is now drawn once, fixed to the viewport, and runs the full width behind them.

It was a minimap: ticks every 20px, heading labels snapped to the nearest tick, a two-pass algorithm to stop two labels landing on the same one, and a marker reading out scroll progress to two decimals. Labels only appeared on hover, so at rest it showed a column of ticks and a number.
It is now a plain list of the page's headings, indented by level, with the one you are reading marked. Sizes come from the docs typeset — the eyebrow on the label layer, the links at caption size.

Testing
Production build passes, 187 pages. Checked in the browser at 2560px and 1200px: the top rule reaches both edges, the three vertical rules run from the top of the screen to the bottom on both long and short pages, and there is no horizontal scroll at either size. Contents rail verified on pages with two heading levels and three, on the longest TOC in the docs (Sidebar, 28 entries), and on deep links.
