[UI] Fix excessive spacing on large screens in Sistent pages by Katotodan · Pull Request #7979 · layer5io/layer5

Katotodan · 2026-08-19T19:55:53Z

Description

On large screens, when navigating to a [Sistent page](https://layer5.io/projects/sistent/components/permissions), the gap between the sidebar and the main content keeps increasing.
On larger screens, links appearing after the Previous and Next buttons have an unnecessarily large top margin, creating excessive space above them.

This PR aims to fix both of these layout issues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes adjust navigation positioning and spacing across shared, handbook, and legal components. Sistent page-container styles now define constrained centered sizing, horizontal padding, a larger gap, and expanded first-section width.

Changes

Navigation and layout styling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Navigation positioning and spacing `src/components/SistentNavigation/intra-page.js`, `src/components/SistentNavigation/pagination.style.js`, `src/components/handbook-navigation/intra-page.js`, `src/components/legal-navigation/intra-page.js`	Intra-page navigation removes sticky positioning and offsets. Bottom spacing is reduced. Pagination margin is reduced, and the community wrapper receives a negative top margin.
Sistent page-container layout `src/sections/Projects/Sistent/sistent.style.js`	The page container uses centered constrained sizing, horizontal padding, left alignment, a larger gap, and border-box sizing. The first page section can use the full width. Mobile padding is cleared.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 48e28

This PR adjusts responsive layout spacing and navigation offsets across Sistent, handbook, and legal pages. The remaining concerns are limited to a trivial theme-token cleanup and validation of possible layout behavior, with no confirmed correctness or availability defect; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks.

The fix looks correct to me (except those missing buttons issue)!

Katotodan · 2026-08-19T21:49:42Z

The fix looks correct to me (except those missing buttons issue)!

Sure @Maanvi212006, and as those missing buttons are also missing in other PRs preview, and based on the fact that they are visible when running this PR locally, we can conclude that those missing buttons are related to the PR preview and not to this PR specifically.

rishiraj38

The right side page navigation panel is still not fixed. Please fix this too.
