/* Navigation Accessibility Enhancements */
/* Nav-item hover/focus — refined again 2026-06-04 (spotlight-hover
refinement, second pass). Operator feedback after the first
refinement: the rgba(0.08) base tint was too subtle ("it's hard
to see which one you're hovering"). Bumped the base tint to a
stronger ember alpha AND layered a mouse-tracking radial spotlight
on top via a ::before pseudo-element driven by --mouse-x /
--mouse-y CSS custom properties. The properties are written by a
single delegated mousemove listener attached at the Layout level
(see components/Layout.js) — no per-item React handler needed.
The ::before is positioned with `inset: 0` and pointer-events
disabled so clicks pass through to the underlying Link.
Existing `.nav-item-hover` is also covered (same selector group)
so the explicit hover-only items in NavigationContent inherit
the spotlight without separate JSX wiring. */
/* Nav-item hover/focus — third pass 2026-06-04. Operator feedback
after the spotlight landed (PR #110): "remove the shading around
the hover that makes it feel like it's floating" + "the gradient
is a little too bold." Two changes from the prior pass:
1) Dropped the base background-color tint on the host. With the
bg-tint gone, the item no longer reads as a "floating chip"
against the sidebar — just the radial spotlight remains,
which feels like light pooling under the cursor rather than
a state-color rectangle. Text color shift to --text-primary
stays as the secondary affordance (and for AA contrast on the
label).
2) Toned down the radial-gradient alphas. Light: 35%/18% → 22%/
10%. Dark: 40%/22% → 26%/12%. Same shape, gentler glow. */
