halo-labs.fuzeheritage.workers.dev — log in as cam@haloagency.net / HaloCam2026! and click the HALO row at the top and the account row at the bottom. Both are real dropdowns now.
Latest — the team switcher, split out of the account menu
sidebar-07 has TWO dropdowns and we had merged them into one. A team-switcher in the header and a nav-user in the footer. Everything was in the footer, so the header was a dead link and the account menu carried a team list that wasn't its business. Now they're split, and both open to the right like the block does.
And the team list was hardcoded empty. DashboardCreatorFilterProvider shipped teams: undefined as a literal, so it rendered nothing while /v1/team-catalog was returning 15 rows the whole time. The old footer menu had the same hole — it was just less visible there.
Earlier step · The profile dropdown
This is the one you spotted. The footer row was a raw <button> with hand-rolled classes, and its menu opened straight onto the team list — no identity header, no separator. It now uses SidebarMenuButton size="lg", the same component sidebar-07's nav-user is built on.
| Detail | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Menu header | none — straight to "All teams" | Cam · cam@haloagency.net |
| Separator under it | missing | present |
| Trigger element | raw <button> | SidebarMenuButton size="lg" |
| Row while menu open | no feedback | data-[state=open] accent |
| Chevron | ChevronDown | ChevronsUpDown |
| Hover token | hover:bg-muted/60 — not a sidebar token | hover:bg-sidebar-accent |
| Avatar | rounded-full + border | rounded-lg |
2 · The HALO header, top-left
Was a bare <Link> with a single line of text. Now the team-switcher shape: mark in a rounded square, name plus a subtitle line.
| Detail | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Element | bare <Link> | SidebarMenuButton size="lg" |
| Mark | loose, no container | rounded-lg bg-sidebar-primary square |
| Text | "HALO", one line | "HALO" + "Creator management" |
What was actually wrong
Yesterday rebuilt the sidebar shell — header and footer regions, rails, icon-collapse — but left the two components inside them untouched. So the container matched the block and the contents didn't. "Not the same comp" was the right read.
Because both are the primitive now, they also collapse into the icon rail on the same rules as every nav row, instead of needing their own size overrides.
Everything kept: team switching with its colour dot and check, Manage teams gated on Admin, sign-out, the HALO brand mark. tsc at baseline (201), build clean.
Still to do on the sidebar, not done yet: collapsible nav groups with chevrons, and the hover three-dots (SidebarMenuAction showOnHover) for a per-item info affordance.
