Brand Identity & Navigation

MolTrace brand identity is configured in astro.config.mjs and supported by assets in src/assets/ and public/.

Brand assets

The exact MolTrace navigation wordmark is copied from the frontend source into src/assets/moltrace-wordmark.svg.
The dark-mode navigation wordmark in src/assets/moltrace-wordmark-dark.svg preserves the exact mark and Trace color while switching only Mol to white for the dark theme toggle.
The exact MolTrace mark is copied from the frontend source into src/assets/moltrace-mark.svg.
Browser and app icons are copied from the frontend source into public/ and public/icons/.
Social preview metadata uses public/icons/moltrace-wordmark.svg.
Global brand CSS lives in src/styles/brand.css.

Authored docs belong under src/content/docs/guides/.
Public guide routes should stay under /guides/.
Header links should point only at stable, high-value destinations.
Sidebar groups should expose the complete documentation map.
New pages should be added to the sidebar when they represent a durable product, operations, or governance surface.

Include valid frontmatter with at least a title.
Keep route labels short enough to scan in the sidebar.
Pair frontend design changes with backend/API contract review when they expose new data or actions.
Pair visible UI changes with visual baseline capture when they affect app surfaces.

Added a dark-mode MolTrace wordmark variant so Mol switches from dark text in light mode to white text in dark mode while Trace remains MolTrace cyan.
Replaced temporary docs placeholder marks with byte-for-byte copies of the exact MolTrace frontend wordmark, mark, favicon, and PWA icon assets.
Added a branded favicon, app icon, manifest, and social-preview metadata using the exact MolTrace assets.
Added a custom header with top-level navigation for overview, modules, backend/API, visual baselines, and changelog.
Added a branded footer with high-value operational links.
Expanded the sidebar taxonomy with operations, brand governance, and module map destinations.
Kept authored Starlight content under src/content/docs/guides/ so generated routes remain under /guides/.
