 # Changelog
 
-## 1.14.0
+## 1.16.1
+
+- **Fix (NavShell forwards inline-search props to the inner `Sidebar`).** 1.16.0 added
+  desktop inline search to `Sidebar` (`enableInlineSearch`, `search`, controlled
+  `searchQuery` / `onSearchChange`), but all seven portals consume the higher-level
+  `NavShell` (via `sideRail`), which did **not** forward those props — so inline search was
+  unreachable by every real consumer. `NavShellSideRail` now carries the same four fields
+  (`enableInlineSearch?`, `search?: SidebarSearchConfig`, `searchQuery?`, `onSearchChange?`)
+  and threads them onto the `<Sidebar>` it builds. Desktop-vs-mobile resolution is unchanged
+  (inline ≥768, ⌘K palette <768 via `resolveSearchAffordance`).
+  - **Purely additive / backward compatible**: with the fields unset, `NavShell` renders
+    exactly as 1.16.0. No breaking change; no styling touched.
+
+## 1.16.0
+
+- **Feature (docs-style sidebar rail — hover wash, tinted active pill, rotating chevron).**
+  The `Sidebar` / `NavExpandableItem` rows now read like the aml-screening docs navigation:
+  each row carries a PRIMARY-TINTED overlay whose opacity eases `0 → hover → active` as a
+  smooth ~160ms CSS cross-fade on web (gated by `prefers-reduced-motion`, omitted on native).
+  - **Hover** lights a row with a subtle brand wash (`HOVER_TINT_OPACITY` = 0.06); **active**
+    deepens it to a soft brand pill (`ACTIVE_TINT_OPACITY` = 0.14) over the transparent
+    left-accent gutter every leaf already reserved, so the active leaf shows a tinted pill + a
+    coloured left bar + brand-coloured label — no layout shift, all from `theme.palette.primary`.
+  - **Rotating chevron.** Expandable groups now get a built-in `SidebarChevron` (a `›` glyph
+    that rotates to `⌄` on expand, tweened on web) when the caller supplies no `renderChevron`.
+    A caller-supplied `renderChevron` still wins, so existing icon-set chevrons are unaffected.
+  - Row corner radius softened to `NAV_ROW_RADIUS` (8px) with the rounded overlay clipped to it.
+  - No public API change to existing props; hover uses RNW's `onHoverIn`/`onHoverOut` (no-op on
+    native). New exports: `SidebarChevron`, `NAV_ROW_RADIUS`, `ACTIVE_TINT_OPACITY`,
+    `HOVER_TINT_OPACITY`.
+
+- **Feature (desktop INLINE sidebar search — opt-in — with the ⌘K palette kept for mobile).**
+  The owner found the ⌘K command-palette popup inconvenient on desktop. `Sidebar` now accepts
+  an opt-in persistent inline search field at the top of the rail that narrows the nav list
+  LIVE as you type.
+  - **New `Sidebar` props (all additive, default OFF):** `enableInlineSearch` + a pre-localized
+    `search: SidebarSearchConfig` (`placeholder` / `hint` / `clearLabel` / `clearHint` /
+    `emptyText`), plus optional controlled `searchQuery` + `onSearchChange` (the sidebar owns the
+    state when omitted). With the flag off the render tree is byte-identical to 1.15 — the mobile
+    drawer, which should keep using the ⌘K palette, is untouched.
+  - **New exports:** `SidebarSearch` (the field), `filterNavItems` / `isFilterActive` /
+    `searchTokens` (the pure tree-prune, same all-tokens-must-match semantics as `filterCommands`
+    so inline + ⌘K rank identically), and `resolveSearchAffordance(viewport)` +
+    `DEFAULT_SEARCH_BREAKPOINT` — the pure `'inline'` (≥768px) vs `'palette'` (<768px) rule so a
+    shell can wire desktop-inline / mobile-palette from one function. The ⌘K hotkey
+    (`useCommandPaletteHotkey`) stays bound at every width.
+
+## 1.15.0
 
 - **Feature (an expandable nav group now ANIMATES its expand/collapse instead of snapping).**

+### Search — desktop inline field · mobile ⌘K palette
+
+The rail can be searched two ways, chosen by viewport. `resolveSearchAffordance(viewport)`
+is the pure rule: `'inline'` at/above `DEFAULT_SEARCH_BREAKPOINT` (768px), `'palette'` below.
+
+- **Desktop (wide):** opt the `Sidebar` into a persistent inline field that narrows the nav
+  list live as you type. It is OFF by default — pass `enableInlineSearch` + pre-localized
+  `search` labels:
+
+  ```tsx
+  <Sidebar
+    items={items} pathname={p} onNavigate={go} title={t} regionLabel={r}
+    enableInlineSearch
+    search={{
+      placeholder: FM('nav.search'), hint: FM('nav.searchHint'),
+      clearLabel: FM('nav.clear'), clearHint: FM('nav.clearHint'),
+      emptyText: FM('nav.noMatches'),
+    }}
+  />
+  ```
+
+  The sidebar owns the query (uncontrolled) unless you pass `searchQuery` + `onSearchChange`.
+  Filtering is the pure `filterNavItems(items, query)` (all query tokens must match a label;
+  a matched group keeps its children, a group with a matched descendant is kept pruned to it).
+
+- **Mobile (narrow):** keep the ⌘K `CommandPalette` (a persistent field costs too much
+  vertical space). The `useCommandPaletteHotkey` shortcut stays bound at every width.
+
+So a shell renders `resolveSearchAffordance(width) === 'inline' ? <Sidebar enableInlineSearch …/>
+: <CommandPalette …/>` (or simply passes `enableInlineSearch` only on the full-rail branch).
