Context7: 1. The editUrl in docusaurus.config.ts was changed from a fixed GitHub URL string to a function returning null, disabling the "Edit this page" link (docusaurus.config.ts).
2. A new script /js/navbar-theme.js was added to manage theme toggling by switching data-theme attributes, storing preference in localStorage, and attaching listeners to .navbar-theme-toggle buttons (static/js/navbar-theme.js).
3. New React components wrap original theme components: DocSidebar adds SidebarSearch, DocItem adds footer with last updated date, edit link, and pagination, and DesktopTOC adds navigation links and theme toggle button (src/theme/DocSidebar/index.tsx, src/theme/DocItem/index.tsx, src/theme/DocItem/TOC/Desktop/index.tsx).
4. Extensive CSS updates in custom.css introduce theming variables, dark mode support, responsive navbar and sidebar styling, sticky TOC navigation with icon links, and improved mobile usability (src/css/custom.css).

🔇 Additional comments (19)
src/components/YamlEditor/YamlEditor.module.css (3)

1-13: LGTM! Clean container and base editor styling.

The container styling with border-radius, shadow, and overflow handling is well-implemented. The monospace font stack is appropriate for a code editor.


143-215: Good light theme implementation with proper data attribute targeting.

The light theme styling correctly uses the [data-theme="light"] selector and provides appropriate contrast colors for readability.


216-235: Responsive design breakpoints are well-implemented.

The mobile-first approach with appropriate font size adjustments and margin reductions enhances usability on smaller screens.

src/components/SidebarSearch.tsx (1)

1-10: LGTM! Clean and simple wrapper component.

The component is well-structured with proper TypeScript typing and serves its purpose as a wrapper around the SearchBar component. The CSS class naming is consistent with the styling approach used throughout the project.

src/theme/TOC/index.tsx (1)

1-6: LGTM! Proper Docusaurus theme wrapper implementation.

This is a clean implementation of a Docusaurus theme wrapper component that follows the recommended swizzling pattern. It properly forwards all props to the original component and maintains TypeScript type safety.

src/theme/DocSidebar/index.tsx (1)

1-13: LGTM! Clean component wrapper pattern.

This implementation follows Docusaurus theme customization best practices by properly wrapping the original component and extending it with additional functionality without breaking existing behavior.

src/components/YamlEditor/YamlEditor.tsx (4)

21-22: LGTM! Theme imports for enhanced dark mode support.

Adding monokai and terminal themes provides better dark mode experience for the YAML editor.


28-28: LGTM! CSS modules and styling improvements.

The migration to CSS modules and enhanced font styling options improve maintainability and visual consistency.

Also applies to: 158-158, 165-165, 171-173


161-161: LGTM! Theme switch to terminal for better dark mode.

Switching to the "terminal" theme aligns with the overall dark mode enhancements across the site.


65-65: js-yaml’s load Is Safe by Default—No strict Option Exists
The strict flag applied to safeLoad in v3 was removed in js-yaml v4, and load() is now safe by default. There is no { strict: true } option to pass, so no change is required here.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

src/theme/DocItem/index.tsx (2)

1-10: LGTM! Clean wrapper pattern with proper typing.

The component properly wraps the original DocItem while maintaining type safety and passing through all props.


11-33: LGTM! Well-structured footer section with proper accessibility.

The footer section includes appropriate semantic HTML, external link security attributes, and accessibility features.

src/theme/DocItem/TOC/Desktop/index.tsx (2)

1-10: LGTM! Proper integration with Docusaurus theme system.

The component correctly uses the useColorMode hook and properly types the original component props.


13-44: LGTM! Well-structured navigation with proper accessibility.

The navigation section includes appropriate external links with proper security attributes and accessible theme toggle functionality.

docusaurus.config.ts (3)

178-178: LGTM! Proper disabling of built-in edit links.

Setting editUrl to return null correctly disables Docusaurus's built-in edit functionality, allowing the custom theme components to handle edit links instead.


224-227: LGTM! Theme script integration.

Adding the navbar theme script asynchronously supports the theme toggle functionality implemented across the custom components.


272-282: LGTM! Improved navbar layout and theme toggle.

The navbar restructuring with the theme toggle button and repositioned Blog link creates a more consistent user experience aligned with the custom theme components.

src/css/custom.css (2)

19-21: Tailwind directives won’t be processed unless Post-CSS/Tailwind is wired into Docusaurus’ build
@tailwind base/components/utilities are raw directives that need Tailwind’s pre-processor.
If the site only loads this file via <link>, these lines will be shipped verbatim to the browser and do nothing.

  1. Confirm that Tailwind is integrated (e.g., via docusaurus-tailwindcss plugin or a custom PostCSS config).
  2. Otherwise, pre-compile this sheet or drop the directives.

2027-2047: :has() pseudo-class is still behind compatibility flags on several browsers
Selectors such as
.theme-doc-sidebar-item-category:has(.theme-doc-sidebar-item-link--active)
fail on Firefox ≤ v126 and Safari ≤ v16, causing active-section icon colouring to break.

Provide a fallback:

/* Fallback for browsers without :has() */
.theme-doc-sidebar-item-link--active
  .menu__link::before,
.menu__link[aria-current="page"]::before {
  /* same orange filter */
}

…and guard the :has() rules in an @supports selector(:has(h1)) block.

Walkthrough

This update introduces significant enhancements to the site's documentation interface. It adds new custom React components for sidebar search, table of contents, and documentation footers, alongside utility functions for date and edit URL handling. The configuration disables the "Edit this page" link, adds a theme toggle, and revises navbar and theming scripts. Extensive CSS and editor theme improvements are also included.

Poem

🐇
A hop, a skip, the docs anew,
With toggles bright and sidebars too!
The YAML glows in themed delight,
The TOC now sparkles day and night.
Last updated dates, a search in view—
Oh, what a wondrous code review!

Impact Analysis

Updated navbar configuration: theme toggle, moved blog link, disabled default edit links

📢 Medium 🔄 Impacts behavior

The navbar has been reconfigured to disable the default "Edit this page" link, move the Blog link from the left to the right side, and introduce a new theme toggle button. A client-side script (/js/navbar-theme.js) is now loaded asynchronously to handle light/dark mode switching.

Verify that the new script is correctly registered in the Docusaurus config, the theme toggle logic attaches only once per button, and the navbar item ordering matches design specifications.

On desktop and mobile, confirm the Blog link appears on the right, the Edit link is no longer shown, and clicking the theme toggle button persists and applies the chosen theme.

Added search bar to documentation sidebar

📢 Medium 🔄 Impacts behavior

A new SidebarSearch component has been added below the existing sidebar links, providing an inline search box powered by the theme’s SearchBar.

Ensure the SidebarSearch wrapper correctly forwards props to @theme/SearchBar and that the surrounding container styling does not conflict with existing sidebar layout.

Verify the search box appears and functions in both desktop and mobile sidebars, and that focus and results rendering behave as expected without layout breakage.

Enhanced YAML editor with new themes and styling

ℹ️ Low 🔄 Impacts behavior

The inline YAML editor now supports additional Ace themes (“monokai” and “terminal”), uses a CSS module for consistent styling, applies a monospace font and specific font size, and no longer enforces strict parsing by default.

Review the import and application of the CSS module alongside Ace theme registrations, and confirm that disabling strict parsing does not introduce unnoticed YAML errors.

Open the YAML editor in light and dark contexts, toggle between available themes, and test loading both valid and previously-strict-invalid YAML snippets to ensure expected behavior.

Enhanced documentation TOC and page footer with theme toggle, links, last updated, and pagination

📢 Medium 🔄 Impacts behavior

New wrapper components (DesktopTOC and mobile DocItem) augment the table of contents and page footer with external Discord, GitHub, and Blog links, a theme toggle control, a "Last updated" timestamp, an "Edit this page" link, and Previous/Next pagination buttons.

Validate that getLastUpdatedDate and getEditUrl correctly derive values in all environments, and that anchor attributes (target, rel, aria-labels) meet accessibility guidelines.

On both desktop and mobile, confirm the links open in new tabs, the theme toggle dispatches the custom event, the timestamp matches page metadata, and pagination uses the history API only when safe.

Comprehensive CSS styling overhaul for theming, responsiveness, and UI consistency

📢 Medium 🔄 Impacts behavior

The site’s primary stylesheet has been revamped with new CSS variables for light/dark themes, enhanced styling for tables, blockquotes, admonitions, code blocks, and grids, plus extensive responsive and mobile-specific adjustments for the navbar, sidebar, TOC, and footer.

Review the scope and naming of new --imf- custom properties, ensure dark mode overrides cascade correctly, and check for unintended specificity conflicts or inheritance issues.

Perform visual regression tests across major browsers, verify dark/light mode consistency, and test breakpoints from mobile to desktop to uncover any layout regressions.
