Brand Navigation v1.0.0-rc.1
Pre-releaseBrand Navigation v1.0.0-rc.1 is the first stable-track release candidate.
Highlights
- Uses Discourse's native component-level Enabled? control as the single activation switch.
- Provides an enabled, non-public staging-theme workflow for configuration and bundle imports.
- Prevents stale asynchronous bundle reads from replacing newer administrator input.
- Keeps linked-parent submenu children in normal mobile-menu flow.
- Adopts Discourse's
d-compat/<YYYY>.<M>compatibility-branch convention. - Includes reviewed current, 2026.8, and two known 2026.7 CI lanes.
Upgrade note
The duplicate Brand Navigation Enabled setting has been removed. Use Discourse's native component Enabled? control. Existing navigation and appearance settings remain in the component record. For unpublished preparation or configuration-bundle import, attach the enabled component only to a non-default staging theme and work through that theme's preview before attaching it to a visitor-facing theme.
Compatibility and updates
Normal Discourse update checks continue to follow main on current Discourse or the applicable d-compat/<YYYY>.<M> branch on maintained older releases. This tag is an immutable release and rollback identity.
RC limitations
- Full pin-and-return rollback remains provisional until its complete staging exercise is recorded.
- Complete human screen-reader and RTL acceptance is not claimed.
- Dense mobile core-header icon configurations remain operator-managed; use device visibility to reserve narrow-screen space for priority icons.
