🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

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.

In `@apps/www/src/app/docs/layout.module.css` at line 38, Separate the 50px
DocsNavbar boundary from the 64px heading activation threshold: update toc.tsx
so the comparison uses a clearly named, documented threshold representing either
the actual 50px navbar height or an intentional 50px + 14px buffer, and keep the
CSS top value aligned with the navbar boundary. Do not attempt to use the CSS
custom property directly in the TypeScript comparison.
