📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Root.tsx now discovers enabled route extensions, resolves their paths and metadata, filters invalid or static routes, and renders the valid routes as dynamic sidebar items.

Changes

Dynamic sidebar navigation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route discovery and sidebar rendering packages/portal-app/src/components/Root/Root.tsx	The root component reads enabled route attachments, resolves route references, excludes static paths, filters incomplete metadata, memoizes the derived items, and renders them in the scrollable menu section.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 45dc8

Plugin routes for /search or /settings could appear twice in the legacy sidebar, creating duplicate navigation entries. The change is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and a small follow-up to exclude all static sidebar paths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude all static sidebar paths.

The static sidebar already defines /search and /settings. This set omits search and settings, so enabled route extensions for either path render duplicate navigation entries.

Proposed fix

 const STATIC_SIDEBAR_PATHS = new Set([
   '',
   'api-docs',
   'catalog',
   'cost-insights',
   'create',
   'docs',
   'platform-overview',
+  'search',
+  'settings',
 ]);
