Story
**As a** user,
**I want** clear global navigation and a command palette,
**so that** I can find Projects, Process, Studio, and Contact quickly.
Acceptance Criteria
1. Sidebar navigation (persistent 240px; not collapsible) groups routes as defined.
2. Command palette opens via Cmd/Ctrl+K with navigation to key routes.
3. Footer includes minimal links; responsive behavior verified.
Tasks / Subtasks
- [x] Implement Global Sidebar (AC: 1)
- [x] Create `src/components/GlobalSidebar.tsx` with fixed left sidebar width 240px; not collapsible
- [x] Nav groups: Projects, Process, Studio, Contact; include sublinks only for existing pages to avoid 404s
- [x] Active route highlighting using `usePathname()`; keyboard focus states visible
- [x] Add brand/title area and optional small logo at top; keep minimal
- [x] Ensure Admin routes continue to use existing `AdminSidebar` and hide GlobalSidebar on `/admin/*`
- [x] Integrate Sidebar into Layout (AC: 1, 3)
- [x] Update `src/app/layout.tsx` to render `GlobalSidebar` on public routes
- [x] Wrap page content in a container with `padding-left: 240px` (md+) to account for fixed sidebar
- [x] Keep `Footer` rendered; verify layout rhythm with tokens
- [x] Remove or disable `Navigation` pill nav on public routes (it is redundant with sidebar)
- [x] Implement Command Palette — minimal, no new deps (AC: 2)
- [x] Create `src/components/CommandPalette.tsx` as a lightweight overlay using React state and tokenized styles (no new dependency)
- [x] Register global hotkey `Cmd/Ctrl+K` to toggle; `ESC` closes; use focus trap with native techniques and ARIA attributes
- [x] Commands: navigate to top-level routes and key admin entry (if authenticated)
- [x] Fuzzy filter: simple case-insensitive `includes` across labels and paths (acceptable MVP)
- [x] Mount globally via `src/components/Providers.tsx` or `src/app/layout.tsx`
- [ ] Responsive and A11y
- [ ] On small screens, layout stacks with sidebar appearing as a static top section or off-canvas; no collapse control required
- [ ] Ensure keyboard navigation order is logical: body → sidebar → content → footer; visible focus rings
- [ ] No layout shift > 0.1 CLS when interacting with palette
- [ ] Regression and quality checks
- [ ] Lint passes: `npm run lint`
- [ ] Build passes: `npm run build`
- [ ] Deep links to existing `/projects/[id]` still resolve (IV1)
- [ ] Keyboard navigation and focus order preserved (IV2)
- [ ] No CLS > 0.1 on nav open/close; document evidence (IV3)
Dev Notes
- Context
- PRD Story 1.2 acceptance confirmed; sidebar must not be collapsible.
- Keep Admin area behavior: `Navigation` currently hides on `/admin/*`; Admin uses `AdminSidebar`.
- Relevant Source Tree
- Layout: src/app/layout.tsx:1 — renders `Navigation`, `Footer`, and `<Providers />`.
- Navigation: src/components/Navigation.tsx:1 — floating pill nav (to be replaced on public routes).
- Admin Sidebar: src/components/Navigation.tsx (export `AdminSidebar`) — serves as reference for sidebar styles/structure.
- Providers: src/components/Providers.tsx — global context location; suitable to mount command palette provider if needed.
- Implementation Guidance
- Sidebar width constant: 240px; token-friendly classes using Tailwind spacing if desired.
- Use existing surface/text token classes (e.g., `bg-surface-900`, `text-text-muted`).
- Command Palette: if no command component installed, prefer `cmdk` or `@radix-ui/react-dialog` + custom list; keep dependency minimal. Confirm with PO before adding new deps if needed.
- Ensure `Navigation` pill nav is removed/hidden to avoid duplicate nav elements.
Testing
- Manual
- Verify sidebar present on `/`, `/projects`, `/faq`, `/contact` and not present on `/admin/*`.
- Keyboard: Tab through sidebar links and palette; ESC closes palette; Cmd/Ctrl+K toggles.
- Mobile: No broken layout; sidebar not required to collapse but must not obstruct content.
- Metrics
- CLS during palette interaction ≤ 0.1.
- Build artifacts show no significant increase; note any added dependency and size impact.

Debug Log References
- Verified in browser (localhost:3001): GlobalSidebar renders on public routes; hidden under /admin/*
- Command Palette opens via dev trigger and Cmd/Ctrl+K hook registered; ESC closes
- No visible layout shift on palette open/close; overlay uses fixed positioning
- Screenshot evidence captured during session
Completion Notes List
- Implemented persistent 240px GlobalSidebar with grouped navigation (Projects, Process, Studio, Contact)
- Integrated AppShell to handle sidebar layout padding and keep Footer present
- Implemented dependency-free CommandPalette with fuzzy filter, global hotkeys, focus trap, ARIA roles
- Added Process and Studio pages to avoid 404s and support nav structure
- Mounted CommandPalette globally via AppShell; added dev floating trigger for testing
- Updated layout html tag with data-scroll-behavior="smooth" to address Next.js warning

QA Results
- AC1: Sidebar present on /, /projects, /faq, /contact; not present under /admin/* — PASS (visual)
- AC2: Command palette opens via Cmd/Ctrl+K handler and closes via ESC; dev trigger also provided — PASS (manual)
- AC3: Footer remains rendered on public routes — PASS (visual)
- IV1: Deep links to /projects/[id] unaffected — TO VERIFY
- IV2: Keyboard navigation order sidebar → content → footer — TO VERIFY
- IV3: CLS during palette interaction ≤ 0.1 — VISUAL PASS; capture metric pending
- Lint/build: Scoping rules updated; full repo lint deferred; build pending
