96-118:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftReconsider removing semantic
<nav>element—CSS specificity should handle global nav styles.The sidebar navigation was changed from
<nav>to<div>to prevent global nav styles from affecting the sidebar. However, the existing CSS selectors already have higher specificity:.docs-layout .sidebar-nav-container(class-based) overrides the globalnavselector (element-based). The CSS conflict cited as justification does not appear to be real.More importantly, replacing
<nav>removes a semantic landmark that screen readers and assistive technologies rely on for page navigation. This degrades accessibility for users with disabilities.Recommended fix: Revert to
<nav class="sidebar-nav-container">and rely on existing CSS specificity. The.docs-layout .sidebar-nav-containerselector already prevents global nav styles from affecting the sidebar. If reverting is not an option, add ARIA attributes to restore semantic meaning:<div class="sidebar-nav-container" role="navigation" aria-label="Documentation navigation">🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
