Live behavior notes
- Desktop menu content now stays visible during initial page load before overflow measurement finishes, reducing first-load flicker.
- Desktop submenu panels now size to their content more consistently, which helps longer item labels fit without cramped dropdowns.
- Hover and active styles now stay more consistent across desktop menus, stacked submenu states, and mega-menu variants.
- Menus inside inverse headers can use separate colors for their base, hover, active, and hamburger states.
- Mobile menus can stay as a hamburger slideout, remain horizontal, or switch to a stacked layout depending on the selected mobile layout.
- Hamburger slideouts use their own item color controls, so active and hover states can differ from the desktop menu when needed.
- Hamburger slideouts include clearer open/close labels, focus handling, and Escape-key closing for keyboard and screen-reader users.
