Plan step 36 (navigation group, second batch): <x-navigation-rail>'s,
<x-navigation-rail-item>'s and <x-navigation-rail-section>'s class
lists move into navigation-rail.css, navigation-rail-item.css and
navigation-rail-section.css, keyed on data-md-navigation-rail (the
mode, data-md-width, data-md-align, data-md-hide-when-collapsed,
data-md-divider, data-md-fill, data-md-open), data-md-navigation-rail-
item (data-md-active) and data-md-navigation-rail-section. Every
Tailwind wrapper class in the view — the menu row's centring padding,
the FAB row, the two swapped menu glyphs, the brand's visibility —
becomes a hook the stylesheet draws instead; the menu button itself
renders the shared md-state-layer/md-focus-ring/md-touch-target
classes (N-01's pattern) since it draws its own layer on itself, not a
child. `<x-icon>` and `<x-badge>` take size and floating props instead
of size/position classes; a small data-md-navigation-icon hook (the
shared navigation-item.css) replaces the ad hoc "relative inline-flex"
wrapper a floating badge anchors to.
`rail-collapsed` (a Tailwind @custom-variant, forbidden in Phase F) is
reproduced as plain selectors, branch for branch: the three width-
independent conditions (a fixed collapsed mode; a collapsible rail the
visitor collapsed and not open; a modal rail not open) merge into one
:where() group, provably the same match set as three separate rules
since :where(A, B, C) on an element is true exactly when :where(A) or
:where(B) or :where(C) is; the four width-gated conditions stay
separate media blocks, since CSS cannot merge different `@media`
queries. Every rem length becomes px, since these are dp-based M3
tokens, not a text measure (unlike <x-pane>'s rem widths). The FAB
overrides for a rail's header — elevation 0 (N-03), morphing into an
extended FAB instead of swapping two by display (N-23) — move from
unlayered into this file's own material.components, like toolbar.css's
FAB override: fab.css's `[data-md-fab]` is one attribute, so a doubled
selector here always outranks it without needing to sit outside the
layer.
navigation.js: the arriving-indicator stylesheet and every code comment
follow the new hooks; resources/css/components/navigation.css is
deleted (nothing imports it any more) and its line in tailwind.css with
it. Behaviour is unchanged except one thing Tailwind's `rail-collapsed:`
variant could do that plain CSS in this shape cannot: it is gone for
consuming applications too, since the definition lived only in the file
this commit removes. The development skill's guidance for it is
rewritten to point at navigation-rail.css's own selectors instead of
teaching a Tailwind variant that no longer exists.

M3 Expressive's flexible navigation bar, the collapsed, expanded and
modal navigation rail with its state applied before the first paint,
and an adaptive app shell composing them. The head script now restores
the theme and rail attributes that wire:navigate strips from <html>.
Completes Phase 8.
