On phones the header crammed every link into a sideways-scrolling strip, so most of the menu was off-screen and easy to miss.

Changes

  • Below lg (1024 px) the header shows a menu button on the left and the TFMC logo centred.
  • The button opens a drawer from the left (70% width, up to 20 rem) with large uppercase links and the logo at the top, over a dimmed backdrop. Page scroll is locked while it is open.
  • A link, the backdrop, Escape, a route change or widening to desktop closes it. Escape returns focus to the button, and opening it moves focus into the drawer. The closed drawer is inert.
  • The drawer and backdrop render outside <header>: the header's backdrop blur would otherwise pin fixed children to the bar.
  • From lg up, the inline links are unchanged, but they now always include Home. Both menus mark the current section (aria-current="page").
  • Staff links (Precedent, Inspect) and Add staff roles and an audited staff panel #88's Admin link appear in both menus.
  • While the drawer is open, Tab and Shift+Tab stay inside it. Closing it returns focus to the menu button, or to the logo at desktop width.

Testing

  • npx tsc --noEmit, plus the full vitest run: 143 files, 1813 passed. The new SiteHeader.test.tsx covers open/close paths, scroll lock, focus return, Tab wrapping, the active link, and the staff and Admin links.
  • Checked with Chromium at iPhone 13 size on / and /map, and at 1024 px on /wiki. Not yet checked in WebKit or on a real phone.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The site header adapts to screen size, showing inline navigation on larger screens and a menu drawer on smaller screens.
    • Navigation highlights the current page, with staff and admin links shown when access permits.
    • The drawer closes when you navigate, select the backdrop, press Escape or switch to a desktop-sized viewport. Opening it prevents background scrolling and moves focus to the first link.
    • Keyboard focus stays within the open drawer, and closing it returns focus to the relevant header control.

Walkthrough

The site header uses inline navigation on desktop and a menu button with a modal drawer at smaller widths. Links show the current page. Staff and admin links appear when the corresponding access conditions are met.

Changes

Responsive site header

Layer / File(s) Summary
Navigation links and active-page state
frontend/app/components/shell/SiteHeader.tsx, frontend/app/components/shell/SiteHeader.test.tsx
The component builds navigation links from static destinations, staff access, and account role. It marks links active by exact or descendant pathname matching, except for /, which matches only the root path. Tests check active routes and conditional staff and admin links.
Responsive header and drawer behaviour
frontend/app/components/shell/SiteHeader.tsx, frontend/app/components/shell/SiteHeader.test.tsx
The header shows inline links on desktop and a menu button on smaller screens. The drawer locks scrolling, focuses its first link, and closes on navigation, backdrop clicks, Escape, or when the viewport reaches the desktop breakpoint. Tests check menu state, dismissal, and focus wrapping.

- Line 118: Update the drawer dismissal handling in SiteHeader so closing via
the backdrop or widening to desktop moves focus to a visible control, rather
than leaving focus on a hidden or inert link; preserve the existing Escape
dismissal behavior.
- Line 125: Update the open drawer’s keyboard handler to keep focus within the
drawer on both Tab and Shift+Tab, wrapping between its first and last links;
preserve the existing Escape-to-close behavior.

Below the lg breakpoint the header now shows a menu button and a centred
logo. The button opens a drawer from the left with large links, a dimmed
backdrop and a page scroll lock; a link, the backdrop, Escape, navigation
or widening to desktop closes it. Tab stays inside the open drawer, and
closing it returns focus to a visible header control. Both menus mark the
current section and include the staff and Admin links.
