/* =========================================================
   FINAL NAV + BUTTON FIXES
   - Sidebar labels are always visible (no hover-only navigation).
   - Social icons use inline SVGs, so they do not depend on Lucide brand icons.
   - Sidebar is the only navigation and has stable spacing from the page.
