When sidebar content overflows the viewport on desktop, users cannot scroll to see hidden items. Add flex-1 + overflow-y-auto + scroll-smooth to make the sidebar independently scrollable within the page layout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <[email protected]>

.navigation is applied to each SidebarGroup (one per group), so adding flex-1 + overflow-y-auto here will create multiple independently scrollable sections and may force groups to share the available height rather than size to content. If the goal is a single scrollable sidebar navigation, move the overflow/flex behavior to the sidebar container (or add a dedicated wrapper around all groups) instead of applying it per group.

scroll-smooth forces smooth scrolling even when users prefer reduced motion. Consider using the motion-safe variant (e.g., motion-safe:scroll-smooth) so prefers-reduced-motion is respected (this pattern is already used elsewhere in the layout styles).

This change removes the Mastodon entry from socialLinks, which will drop the Mastodon icon/link from the site footer. That’s unrelated to the sidebar overflow fix described in the PR title/description—please either revert this change or document the rationale (or split it into a separate PR) to avoid an unexpected navigation change.

Unrelated Mastodon link removal bundled in CSS-only PR
Medium Severity
The Mastodon social link entry was removed from the socialLinks array in navigation.json, but the PR description states the change "only affects .navigation child of sidebar component" and characterizes it as a "CSS diff." This removal is user-visible — the Mastodon icon will disappear from the site footer rendered by withFooter.tsx — and appears to be an unrelated change accidentally included in this PR.
