+## Issue 6 — Collapsible nav is non-functional under interactive Blazor render mode
+
+**Severity:** High · **Files:** `Components/NavRailSection.razor`, `wwwroot/js/nav-state.js`,
+`wwwroot/css/layout.css` · **Status:** Open (found in 0.3.0)
+
+> **This corrects Issue 3's note**, which claimed interactive Blazor Server consumers are
+> "largely unaffected because the rail is patched in place." Direct observation of the live
+> ScadaBridge Central UI (global `@rendermode InteractiveServer`) shows that is **false** —
+> the kit's ``/JS nav does not work under interactive render modes at all.
+
+**Symptom.** In an app that renders the rail under an interactive render mode
+(`InteractiveServer`, `InteractiveWebAssembly`, or `InteractiveAuto`), the collapsible nav is
+visually and functionally dead:
+
+1. Clicking a section header toggles the chevron (▶/▼) but **does not hide the section's
+ items** — the links stay fully visible under a "collapsed" chevron.
+2. `aria-expanded` never changes, `localStorage` is never written, the saved state is not
+ restored on reload, and the active-section auto-reveal (Issue 2) does not fire.
+
+**Root cause.** The kit nav is a **static-SSR / CSS-only** design (NavRailSection's own
+comment: *"works in static SSR"*). Under an interactive render mode, Blazor's runtime
+**owns and re-renders the ``/`` DOM** after it adopts the prerendered
+markup. Two independent consequences, both observed live:
+
+- **Native collapse is defeated.** On the live page a closed section has `details.open === false`
+ and its `::details-content` computes `content-visibility: hidden`, yet the
+ `.rail-section-body` and its links remain laid out and visible (measured non-zero height /
+ non-null `offsetParent`). Blazor's management of the native `` desyncs the browser's
+ built-in content-hiding. The body's `display` value (flex/block/grid/inline) makes no
+ difference — only an explicit `display: none` actually hides it.
+- **`nav-state.js` never wires the live DOM.** The interactive `` elements have **no
+ `data-zbnav-initialized` attribute**, i.e. `wire()` never ran on them: `apply()` runs on
+ `DOMContentLoaded` against the *prerendered* nodes, which Blazor then replaces, and the only
+ re-run hook (`enhancedload`, added for Issue 3) does not fire under interactive render modes.
+ So aria sync, localStorage persistence, and active-reveal are all inert.
+
+This matters for the kit's stated goal: per the normalization notes, nav-expand persistence was
+promoted into the kit at 0.2.0 *"so all three apps share one persistence mechanism."* One of the
+three consumers (ScadaBridge Central UI) is interactive Blazor Server, where that mechanism
+silently does nothing.
+
+**Verified evidence (live, global InteractiveServer).** On a logged-in dashboard:
+`data-zbnav-initialized` absent on every `details.rail-section`; after clicking a header,
+`details.open === false` but the section's link still reports `clientHeight: 33` and a non-null
+`offsetParent`; setting `.rail-section-body { display:none }` is the only thing that hides it;
+`localStorage` has no `zbnav:*` keys before or after toggling.
+
+**Recommended fix (two parts — both belong in the kit).**
+
+1. **Make the collapse render-mode-robust (CSS).** Don't rely solely on the native
+ `` content-hiding; hide the body explicitly when closed:
+
+ ```css
+ /* layout.css — robust across render modes; native ::details-content hiding
+ is unreliable once an interactive framework manages the . */
+ .rail-section:not([open]) > .rail-section-body { display: none; }
+ ```
+
+ (Verified live: this is exactly what hides the items.)
+
+2. **Make persistence/aria/reveal work under interactive render.** `enhancedload` is
+ static-SSR-only; also wire after the interactive runtime has (re)rendered. Options, in
+ preference order:
+ - Re-run `apply()` from Blazor's post-render hooks — `Blazor.addEventListener('afterStarted', …)`
+ (interactive WASM/Server boot) and re-apply on circuit/render updates; and/or
+ - Add a `MutationObserver` on the rail container that calls `apply()` when
+ `details.rail-section` nodes are added/replaced (framework-agnostic backstop — covers
+ interactive re-renders, enhanced nav, and dynamic nav alike);
+ - **Or** ship an explicitly **interactive** `NavRailSection` variant (a small Blazor
+ component with an `@onclick` toggle and `[Parameter] bool Expanded` two-way state) for
+ consumers that render interactively — which is what NavRailSection's own comment already
+ gestures at (*"Apps that want cookie-persisted expand state keep their own interactive
+ NavSection"*). If the kit's intent is that interactive apps bring their own section
+ component, say so loudly in the docs and have the CSS-only one degrade gracefully (part 1
+ still applies so at least the visual collapse works).
+
+**Verify.** In an interactive-render host: clicking a header hides the section's items; the
+summary's `aria-expanded` flips; `localStorage` gets a `zbnav:` entry; the state survives
+a reload; and deep-linking into a collapsed section reveals it.
+
+**Consumer note (ScadaBridge).** Until the kit ships this, ScadaBridge's Central UI nav
+collapse is a no-op; the Playwright `NavCollapseTests` that exercise toggling, persistence, and
+auto-reveal are therefore testing behavior the app does not currently have.
