The change adds requirements and validation notes for sidebar font-style flicker during scrolling. It removes will-change: width from the desktop .docSidebarContainer. The existing width transition remains.
Changes: Sidebar font flicker
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Document flicker requirements and validation .kiro/specs/sidebar-font-style-flicker-fix/bugfix.md, .kiro/specs/sidebar-font-style-flicker-fix/tasks.md
The documents describe the flicker, expected stable font styling, the stated CSS root cause, browser expectations, and manual validation steps.
Remove the sidebar width hint packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/theme/DocRoot/Layout/Sidebar/styles.module.css
The desktop .docSidebarContainer no longer declares will-change: width. Its width transition remains.
The CSS change is low risk, but the documentation should accurately record browser validation and cover the stated regression checks before merge.
Architecture risk: Low · up to d8dfd

Review details
Systems and components
observed — packages/docusaurus-theme-classic (library) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
Before / after behavior
observed — Modified behavior in packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/theme/DocRoot/Layout/Sidebar/styles.module.css: The .docSidebarContainer rule removes will-change: width and adds a comment documenting its omission.
observed — Modified behavior in .kiro/specs/sidebar-font-style-flicker-fix/bugfix.md: Adds the defect description, expected behavior requiring stable sidebar font family, size, and weight during scrolling, and requirements to preserve styling, navigation selection, and normal behavior at page boundaries.
observed — Modified behavior in .kiro/specs/sidebar-font-style-flicker-fix/bugfix.md: Adds an investigation account attributing the flicker to will-change: width and Chromium compositing-related text rasterization changes, and identifies removing that declaration as the stated resolution.
observed — Modified behavior in .kiro/specs/sidebar-font-style-flicker-fix/bugfix.md: Adds a browser compatibility matrix describing expected post-fix rendering for Blink, Gecko, and WebKit, plus manual steps to test scrolling and sidebar collapse/expand.

Requirements 3.2 and 3.3 require a sidebar navigation click and normal behavior at the top and bottom of the page. These steps test scrolling and collapse/expand only. Add explicit checks for selection, navigation, and both page boundaries. (github.com)

Verify the WebKit result before publishing it as a post-fix result.
The root-cause analysis is limited to Chromium, and the stylesheet still applies clip-path: inset(0). The document does not record a Safari version, operating system, or observed WebKit result. Record those details, or label the WebKit cell as an expected outcome.

Do not mark browser validation complete without recorded evidence.
Items 3.1-3.3 are checked, but this checklist records no browser versions, operating systems, test dates, or results. A checked item states that validation finished. Without recorded results, the spec reports a status that the document does not support. Record the results for each item, or leave the items and their parent unchecked until validation is complete.
