[UI] Modernizing Docs Navigation UI: Replacing 'You are here' Indicator

[Tharanishwaran]

Current Behavior

• Navigation in docs currently uses "You are here" text to indicate user's position
• This text-based indicator takes up space and uses a traditional approach
• Located in the documentation hierarchy navigation system

Expected Behavior

Proposed alternatives for modern UI navigation:

1. > Current Section - Using a simple arrow/chevron indicator
2. Active Page ● - Using a dot indicator with minimal text
3. Visual highlighting with accent color (no text needed)

• Should be more space-efficient
• Should provide clear visual hierarchy
• Should align with modern UI practices

Screenshots/Logs

Environment

• Host OS: Mac Linux Windows
• Browser: Chrome Safari Firefox Edge Opera

@Tharanishwaran can you assign this to me?

[leecalcote]

No progress here. Freeing up assignment. @eyeaadil, you need to only volunteer for issues that you are capable of solving.

Actually, this suggested change isn't desired, @Tharanishwaran. Are we ok to close this?

[Tharanishwaran]

@leecalcote Thank you for your feedback. If this change isn’t aligned with the project’s current direction, I’m okay with closing the issue.
