{{-- M3 Expressive's navigation rail: destinations down the start edge of a `medium` or wider window, collapsed (96px, icon over label) or expanded (icon beside label in a full-width pill).
Mail
`mode` says what decides its width: - `collapsed` — always collapsed; `expanded` — always expanded. - `collapsible` (the default) — the visitor's choice: expanded until the menu button collapses it. The choice is `$store.rail`, remembered in localStorage and applied by before the first paint (), so the rail never paints wide and snaps shut. - `modal` — collapsed in the layout; the menu button (or `$store.rail.show()` from anywhere) opens it expanded over a scrim, holding focus until Escape, the scrim, the menu button or leaving the page closes it (Compose's ModalWideNavigationRail). - `adaptive` — what `` uses, one rail per M3 window size class: on a compact window (below `medium`, 600px) nothing until `$store.rail.show()` slides it in as a modal; at `medium` (600–839) collapsed in the layout, opening as a modal; at `expanded` (840–1199) a standard rail, collapsed until its menu button expands it in place; from `large` (1200) the same standard rail, expanded to begin with. A visitor who has used the menu button keeps that choice in both standard bands. Slots: `brand` beside the menu button, only while expanded; `header` under it — one ``, which the rail morphs: the label's width springs open and shut with the rail, so the FAB becomes an extended FAB and back rather than one being swapped for the other, and its label names it at both widths. It also rests flat, because M3 puts a FAB nested in another component at elevation 0, not the 3 a standalone one has. Then the destinations in the default slot, which alone scroll when the window is too short, and `footer`, pinned to the foot. Header and footer never scroll, so nothing in them is cut off by the scroller's edge. Anything else inside can take both shapes by matching the rail's own state directly, the same selectors resources/css/components/navigation-rail.css uses for every branch of "collapsed" — `data-md-navigation-rail`'s value, `:not([data-md-open])`, and the window band each mode collapses in (its header lists them). Every rule in the package that draws a collapsed shape writes them out, and tests/Feature/Components/NavigationRailTest.php keeps each copy to the same conditions. Nothing that shows while collapsed may be wider than 96px. Props: `label` names the landmark ("Main"); `width` is the expanded width (`256px`, held between M3's 220 and 360dp) — or the word `narrow`, M3's other *collapsed* width (NavigationRailCollapsedTokens.NarrowContainerWidth, 80px against the default 96), where the items are their icons alone because no label fits under a 56px indicator at that width; the labels stay in the accessibility tree, since they are what name the destinations, and a narrow rail expands to the default 256px; `align` is `top` (the default) or `center`, which puts the destinations at the rail's vertical centre — M3 prefers that on a tablet, for reach — while the menu button, the brand and the FAB stay at the top and the footer at the foot, as M3 asks; more destinations than fit go back to the top rather than out of reach above the scroller; `hide-when-collapsed` is M3's other expanded behaviour, for a `collapsible` or `adaptive` rail: collapsing it takes it out of the layout altogether instead of narrowing it to 96px, and it comes back expanded over a scrim when something calls `$store.rail.show()` — a menu button in the app bar, which is the only way back, so put one there. Its own menu button then docks it into the layout again. Not below `medium` for a collapsible rail, nor at `medium` for an adaptive one: there it is the window and not the visitor that collapses a rail, and M3's collapsed rail may never hide; `menu` shows the menu button (by default for `collapsible`, `modal` and `adaptive`); `divider` draws M3's optional vertical divider on the edge the page is on — which is also what M3 asks for when a page scrolls underneath a fixed rail; `fill` (`false`) drops the container colour for a transparent rail over the page's own background, which M3 allows as long as the items keep a 3:1 contrast against what is behind them. A rail open over a scrim keeps its fill and drops the divider whatever those say: it is a surface over the page then. The rail does not scroll with the page: in a flex row it sticks to the top of the viewport, as tall as the viewport at most.
