Navigation & page layout

Every page outside this documentation shares the same frame: a dark navigation rail down the left and a top bar across the top. Here’s what each part does.

The shell

The left rail moves you between sections; the top bar holds search and your account tools. (Shown signed in as a maintainer.)
