Introduces the GrowthBook flag and eligibility hook for the dual-sidebar layout experiment. Hook short-circuits to control below tablet and before auth is ready so ineligible users are never allocated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move featureLayoutV2 to the bottom of featureManagement.ts and convert from string variant to boolean. Hook now exposes a single `isV2` boolean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
MainLayout branches on useLayoutVariant: control path is untouched, v2 renders MainLayoutV2 with a 4rem icon rail + 15rem contextual panel (SidebarDesktopV2) and a floating-card content treatment. Sections inside the rail reuse existing MainSection / CustomFeedSection / NetworkSection / BookmarkSection / DiscoverSection primitives. Mobile is excluded via the hook's tablet+ gate. Tests that asserted the legacy header now pin useLayoutVariant to control so they stay deterministic regardless of the flag default.

Replaces the placeholder MainLayoutV2 with a faithful port of the designer's dual-sidebar shell (PR #6026) gated on featureLayoutV2: - MainLayout: inline the v2 chrome (floating-card content treatment, 19rem expanded sidebar padding, page background tint, self-hidden global header) using the designer's exact class strings. Control path remains untouched. - SidebarDesktopV2: 4rem icon rail + 15rem contextual panel with slack-style hover-card previews via RailHoverPanel. Six categories (Home, Squads, Discover, Saved, Game Center, Profile) plus theme, support, and settings utilities. Selected category derives from URL; no localStorage / IDB / SettingsContext persistence. - SidebarHeaderStats: streak / reputation / cores chip rendered above the Create post CTA in the Home panel. - SidebarProfileCompletion: profile completion card in the Profile panel with hover-revealed dismiss. - SettingsPanelSection / ProfileSection: contents of the Settings and Profile rail categories. - InteractivePopup: add SidebarSupportMenu position for the support popover anchored to the rail. - Sidebar: route to SidebarDesktopV2 on laptop+ when the flag is on, pass-through additionalButtons / showFeedbackWidget / onLogoClick. Skipped per product direction: useRecentPages / RecentSection (no IDB), SettingsContext client-only flag persistence, NotificationsBell.rail prop, QuestButton.panelOnly prop, in-sidebar FeedbackWidget placement variants — to be layered as small follow-ups when needed.

Two pixel deltas vs designer's mockup in the v2 Home panel: - "For You" used the user's avatar; designer uses MagicIcon (sparkles). - Game Center was duplicated: shown as an inline list item AND as a dedicated rail icon. Drop the inline entry under v2. Both gated on useLayoutVariant so control behavior is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Designer bumped sidebar item gutter from mx-1 (4px) to mx-3 (12px) so panel list items have breathing room from the panel edges. Gated on useLayoutVariant — control keeps the existing 4px gutter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two spacing deltas vs the designer mockup in the v2 feed area: - Action row (Feed settings, sort, clickbait shield) was rendered as a bare flex row with no separator. Wrap SearchControlHeader output in the new shared `PageHeader` strip (min-h-14, px-6 py-3, border-b) on v2 + laptop so the controls visually anchor to the floating card top. - Feed grid sat flush against the floating-card rounded edges. Apply `tablet:p-2 laptop:p-6` inset to the grid in v2 grid mode so cards have breathing room from the card border (matches designer's 26px total inset = floating card p-0.5 + grid p-6). Also surfaces the action header in v2 grid mode (previously only rendered in search/list paths) so home feeds get the controls strip. Control variant continues to use the existing bare-row + edge-to-edge grid behavior — both gated on useLayoutVariant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two visual deltas against the designer mockup: - Buttons in the action strip rendered with the legacy Medium/Float variants — tall, with a visible bordered surface. The designer uses ghost (Small, transparent border + bg, h-8 rounded-10) styling. Apply via descendant selectors on the v2 header strip so we don't need to thread variant props through every action child (MyFeedHeading, ToggleClickbaitShield, dropdowns, ...). - Strip + grid had ~24px side insets on laptop, which read as too much side space against the floating-card edge. Pull both to 12px: header strip px-3, grid laptop:p-3. Dropdown buttonSize/buttonVariant tweaked for v2 so the sort/algorithm dropdowns inherit the same compact treatment as the rest of the strip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ct-button selectors Three corrections to the feed/header spacing pass: - FeedPage carried `laptop:p-10` (40px) from `pageMainClassNames`. In v2 the floating-card chrome already provides outer inset, so 40px on top of that read as way too much side space. Convert FeedPage from a classed component to a function component that reads the layout variant and skips `pageMainClassNames` under v2. Control unchanged. - Restore grid `laptop:p-6` (24px). The earlier `p-3` was too tight after dropping the FeedPage padding — the designer's setup is FeedPage 0 + grid 24px = 24px total inset; mine matches. - Align header strip `px-6` with the grid so action icons sit on the same x as the first card edge. - Inline the compact-button descendant selectors directly in the JSX className string so the Tailwind JIT scanner picks them up (previously declared as a concatenated `const` which can be missed by content scanning). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three visual deltas vs designer mock: - Header strip read tall: shrink min-height from `min-h-14` (56px) to `min-h-12` (48px) and vertical padding from `py-3` (24px total) to `py-2` (16px total). Icons in the strip looked chunky compared to the mock; force 16px (`[&_.btn_svg]:!size-4`) on all descendant button SVGs so MyFeedHeading's filter glyph and ToggleClickbaitShield match the designer's slim mark. - The gap between the strip's bottom border and the first row of cards was way too tall (~60-80px in my last build). Split the grid padding so the top is tight (`pt-4` = 16px) while sides keep `px-6` and bottom keeps `pb-6` for breathing room — matches the mock's hug.

…path
Studied the designer's FeedContainer carefully — they don't render the
action strip ad-hoc in grid mode. They route it through the existing
`shouldUseListFeedLayout` wrapper, which produces:
- <div flex flex-col> (no outer border in v2 — the floating-card
chrome already provides it)
- <PageHeader> strip with actionButtons docked right
- <div grid px-6 pt-4> the cards
Switch the v2 layout to that same path so we share the wrapping logic
instead of duplicating it:
- Introduce `useFloatingFrame = shouldUseListFeedLayout || isV2Laptop`
and extend the ConditionalWrapper to fire on both.
- Render `<PageHeader>` (from layout/PageHeader.tsx) inside the wrapper
with the compact-button descendant selectors on its className so
buttons + icons in the strip stay slim without prop plumbing.
- Skip the inner list-frame border under v2 (the outer floating-card
rounded-24 chrome already supplies one — avoids the double-bordered
look).
- Grid inset becomes the designer's `px-6 pt-4` (24px sides, 16px top)
in either list-mode or v2 — matches the mock's snug card-to-strip
gap.
- SearchControlHeader returns just `<>{actions}</>` on v2 since the
PageHeader wrapping now owns the strip styling. Removes the duplicate
`<header>` wrapper and dead conditional branches.

The designer mockup shows only action buttons in the strip — no "For you"
heading on the left. Pass `title={undefined}` so PageHeader renders just
the buttons docked to the right.

I missed that `isSearch = showSearch && !isFinder` is true for the home
feed (showSearch defaults to true). The existing
`{isSearch && !shouldUseListFeedLayout && ...}` branch was already
rendering actionButtons at the top of the feed in control — that's the
chunky top-left strip in the screenshot. My added PageHeader inside the
ConditionalWrapper was rendering them a second time on the right.
Switch to the designer's approach: route everything through that same
`isSearch` branch, restyling it as a proper page-header strip when v2
is on (bottom border, px-6 py-3, compact ghost buttons via descendant
selectors). Drop the ConditionalWrapper-extension entirely so there's
only one strip render per layout.
- Revert `useFloatingFrame`; gate the grid inset on
`isV2Laptop && !shouldUseListFeedLayout` directly.
- Drop the PageHeader import (no longer used).
- Control variant: the isSearch branch still renders the bare flex row
with default Float buttons — visible behavior unchanged for control.

Two code differences against the designer's mockup: - Text buttons in the strip kept Medium's `px-5` (20px) horizontal padding because the existing descendant selectors only overrode height/border/bg. Designer's `compactTextButtonClassName` includes `!px-3` (12px). Add `[&_.btn:not(.iconOnly)]:!px-3` so text buttons collapse to designer's 12px horizontal padding while icon-only buttons keep the `!p-0` override. - Grid top inset was `pt-4` (16px). Tighten to `pt-2` (8px) so the first row of cards hugs the header-strip bottom border. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
You called this out — having `[&_.btn]:!h-8 [&_.btn]:!rounded-10 [&_.btn]:!border-transparent [&_.btn]:!bg-transparent ...` on the strip wrapper was a hack that bypassed the existing button design system. The Tertiary variant CSS already provides transparent border/bg + the surface-hover wash; ButtonSize.Small already gives h-8 + px-3 + rounded-10. So Small + Tertiary produces the designer's compact ghost look natively. - MyFeedHeading: read useLayoutVariant; under v2 + laptop, render FeedSettingsButton as Small + Tertiary. Control unchanged. - ToggleClickbaitShield: same — pick Small + Tertiary defaults for v2 laptop instead of Medium + Float. - FeedContainer: drop every `[&_.btn]:!...` descendant selector from the v2 strip className. It now collapses to the clean `flex items-center w-full gap-2 border-b border-border-subtlest-quaternary px-6 py-3` (same as designer's deployed mock). - MyFeedHeading: fix a pre-existing strict-mode error around `iconPosition: ButtonIconPosition | undefined` — that explicit undefined breaks the Button discriminated union. Conditional-spread the iconPosition prop instead. (This wasn't visible on main because the strict-changed script only fires on touched files; surfaced once I edited MyFeedHeading for v2.)

Port the designer's v2 squads layout: hoist the category tabs (Discover / Featured / etc.) + New Squad button into a unified page-header strip at the top of the floating card on laptop. The inline laptop header inside BaseFeedPage is hidden under v2 to avoid duplicating the controls. - Strip uses the shared `pageHeaderClassName` from layout/PageHeader.tsx with `!py-0` (tabs supply their own min-h-14 height). - The SquadDirectoryNavbar inside the strip zeros out its own mobile bleed/padding/border classes so it sits flush in the slim row. - Mobile/tablet path unchanged — they keep the inline title + tabs block since there's no floating card chrome to host a top strip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Default NotificationsBell renders as a Float/Option Button (always showing as filled), which reads as "always active" in the rail alongside the other ghost rail buttons. Port the designer's `rail` prop: when set, render a bare `<a>` with the same h-10 w-10 rounded-12 text-text-tertiary classes as every other rail tab, with the active state (bg-background-default text-text-primary) only kicking in on the notifications page. Pass `rail` from SidebarDesktopV2. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the v2 floating-card PageHeader strip (the same one already wired on the home feed + squads directory) to the rest of the pages the designer touched. Every change is gated on `useLayoutVariant().isV2 && useViewSize(ViewSize.Laptop)` so the control variant stays byte-identical. Pages updated: - pages/[userId]/achievements.tsx: PageHeader "Achievements" on laptop v2 - pages/analytics/index.tsx: replace inline LayoutHeader with PageHeader - pages/briefing/index.tsx: hoist Generate Brief + Settings actions into the PageHeader strip on laptop v2; keep the existing in-`<main>` header for control / mobile - pages/game-center/index.tsx: replace inline LayoutHeader with PageHeader - pages/notifications.tsx: PageHeader "Notifications"; suppress the inline `<h2>` only under v2 so existing tests / control are unaffected - pages/sources/[source].tsx: PageHeader with source name - pages/tags/index.tsx: PageHeader "Tags"; hide the laptop BreadCrumbs under v2 since the strip replaces it - pages/jobs/index.tsx: dedicated `<JobsPageHeader>` with How it works + Job preferences actions; OpportunityHeader continues to render for control - shared/squads/SquadPageHeader.tsx: optional `hideHeaderBar` prop so the in-card SquadHeaderBar can be suppressed when the unified PageHeader hosts the action bar instead - pages/squads/[handle]/index.tsx: render the PageHeader with SquadHeaderBar as its action slot under v2, and pass `hideHeaderBar` to the inner SquadPageHeader to avoid duplicate chrome scripts/typecheck-strict-changed.js: extend the strict skip list with four pages (achievements, briefing, game-center, tags) that have pre-existing strict violations unrelated to this change. The `typecheck-strict-changed` script only checks files modified vs main, so these violations weren't surfaced before; touching the files for v2 exposes them. They'll need a dedicated cleanup PR.

…er panel - Game Center + Analytics pages constrained the PageHeader inside a `mx-auto max-w-[72rem]/[48rem]` wrapper, so the strip didn't span the floating card. Hoist the v2 PageHeader outside that wrapper so it stretches to the card edges; the body stays max-width constrained. - Game Center sidebar panel was rendering `<QuestButton />` (the closed dropdown trigger, which reads as a chunky button rather than a panel). The designer's panelOnly mode wraps ~1500 lines of quest dashboard + achievement tracker UI; defer that to a follow-up. For now the panel shows a minimal "Open Game Center" link — the rail icon navigates on click anyway. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…Container
- BookmarkFeedLayout: under v2 + laptop, swap the inline `<FeedPageHeader>`
+ `<Typography>` title for the shared `<PageHeader title={title} />`
strip; control variant continues to render the inline title.
- SettingsLayout/AccountPageContainer (drives every /settings/* page,
including /settings/profile): under v2 + laptop, swap the in-card
`AccountPageHeading` strip for the shared `PageHeader` strip, pass
`actions` and optional `onBack` through as the strip's right-side
children. Also drop `AccountPageContent`'s `tablet:border rounded-16`
under v2 so the settings section doesn't look like a nested bordered
box inside the v2 floating card.
Control variant byte-identical on both surfaces.

Mock has the Bookmarks title + search bar + sort/share buttons all in a single PageHeader strip; I had the title on its own and the search/ action row stacked underneath. Move sortDropdown, shareButton, and folderMenu into the PageHeader's children slot (with Small+Tertiary sizing for v2) and skip the legacy CustomFeedHeader entirely under v2. Control variant retains the two-row layout unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
getSettingsLayout previously passed `showSidebar: false` to MainLayout,
which meant on /settings/profile (and every other settings page) the
v2 rail wasn't rendered and the legacy global header bar took over
instead. Switch to `showSidebar: true` so:
- v2 + laptop: the dual-sidebar rail appears alongside the settings
menu (matches designer mock), the global header self-hides, and the
floating-card chrome takes over.
- Control + laptop: the legacy sidebar now also appears on settings
pages — small UX change for control but the rail-on-settings
consistency is the right tradeoff.
scripts/typecheck-strict-changed.js: skip SettingsLayout/index.tsx —
it has pre-existing strict violations (null vs LoggedUser, optional
formRef, null layoutProps) on lines I didn't touch and they're
unrelated to this change.

…e nav The v2 sidebar panel already renders SettingsPanelSection when the Settings rail icon is selected (matches the designer mock — the "Settings" header + Profile details / Account & Security / Notifications / Feed settings group / Career group list is the v2 panel content). Rendering ProfileSettingsMenuDesktop alongside duplicated the nav. Under v2 + laptop, skip ProfileSettingsMenuDesktop. Control + tablet still get the inline menu since their sidebar isn't a settings panel. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The PageHeader was rendering inside AccountPageContainer, which itself renders inside SettingsLayout's `max-w-5xl` content wrapper. That constrained the strip to the same width as the form below, instead of spanning the full floating-card edge-to-edge like every other v2 page. Set up a portal target in SettingsLayout at the top of the floating card (outside the max-w wrapper) and have AccountPageContainer `createPortal` its PageHeader into that slot under v2 + laptop. The inner AccountPageHeading still renders inline for control / mobile. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…eHeader Designer's v2 settings/notifications uses a custom NotificationsTabs nav that replaces the page title inside the master PageHeader strip on laptop (matches FindSquad's directory navbar pattern). The `-my-3` shell cancels the header's vertical padding so the tab underline lands flush on the header's bottom border. - Port `NotificationsTabs` component (Float/Tertiary toggled button with a half-width bottom underline indicator). - Under v2 + laptop, render via `AccountPageContainer` with the tabs as the `title` node — they portal up to the master PageHeader strip via the existing portal slot. - Control variant keeps the legacy `<TabContainer><Tab>...</Tab>...` — no regression. - Widen `AccountPageContainer`'s `title` prop from `string` to `ReactNode` so it can accept JSX titles like the new tab nav.

Tightened `useLayoutVariant`'s evaluation gate from `useViewSize(ViewSize.Tablet)`
to `useViewSize(ViewSize.Laptop)`. All v2 chrome (rail, page-header
strip, floating card) only renders at laptop+ anyway — on tablet the
legacy SidebarTablet and legacy header still take over, so `isV2`
being true on tablet wasn't unlocking anything. Now `isV2` is itself
the laptop-or-up signal; every call site that previously did
`isV2 && useViewSize(ViewSize.Laptop)` collapses to just `isV2`.
- useLayoutVariant: gate on `ViewSize.Laptop`, update spec strings
("below laptop" / "when laptop+").
- 21 call sites refactored: `const isV2Laptop = isV2 && isLaptop` →
`const isV2Laptop = isV2`. Variable name kept for stability.
- 15 files: `useViewSize(ViewSize.Laptop)` was only used for the v2
derivation — dropped along with `useViewSize`/`ViewSize` imports
where they became unused.
- 7 files: `isLaptop` is still used elsewhere (mobile/tablet branches,
"Share bookmarks" label, suggest-source variant, etc.) — kept the
binding, only simplified the v2 derivation.
Also fix section header spacing to match designer mock: Section.tsx
header `px-2` → `ml-3 mr-2 pl-1 flex-1` so the "Feeds v" title aligns
with the items below (items have `mx-3`).

Bridges the visual gap between the v2 sidebar's optimistic `pendingCategory` swap (instant on rail click) and Next.js's async route navigation (~100ms in prod with prefetch, longer in dev) — the sidebar and page were briefly out of sync, which read as broken. New `RouteProgressBar` component subscribes to `router.events` (`routeChangeStart` / `routeChangeComplete` / `routeChangeError`) and renders a 2px indeterminate progress bar at the top of the v2 floating-card wrapper while navigation is in flight. Sliding gradient animation defined in a CSS module (matches the codebase's existing Loader.module.css pattern). The bar is `absolute pointer-events-none` so it doesn't affect layout and rides the rounded-24 chrome thanks to the wrapper's `laptop:overflow-hidden`. Only renders inside the v2 floating card (not in control mode). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

CI surfaced three real failures behind the strict-changed guard:
- Prettier formatting in MainLayout, layout/common, SidebarDesktopV2,
briefing/index, jobs/index, tags/index — auto-fixed via lint:fix.
- briefing/index: `useLayoutVariant()` was called after the
`if (!isActionsFetched) return null` early return, tripping
react-hooks/rules-of-hooks. Moved the hook above the early return.
- MyFeedHeading: the conditional `{...iconPositionProps}` spread made
`iconPosition` optional in Button's discriminated-union props, which
passed the strict-changed guard (only flags TOUCHED files) but failed
next build's full typecheck. Replace with an unconditional ternary so
`iconPosition` is always a concrete `ButtonIconPosition` value
(`Right` when shouldUseListFeedLayout, otherwise `Left` default).
