fix(portal-shell): dark mode actually applies to component-scoped surfaces (#87)
## Bug

Three component stylesheets (`app.scss`, `sidebar.scss`, `theme-switcher.scss`) carried `:where(.dark) &` rules to react to the `<html>.dark` class — the same pattern Tailwind uses internally. **Angular's emulated CSS encapsulation descends into `:where()` and rewrites its contents with the `_ngcontent-XXX` scoping attribute**, so the produced selector looked like:

```css
:where(.dark[_ngcontent-c0]) .shell-main[_ngcontent-c0] { ... }
```

`<html>` carries `.dark` but no `_ngcontent` attribute — the rule never matched.

Visible symptom: the main page background stayed light even when `.dark` was on `<html>` and every Tailwind `dark:` utility in the templates was working correctly. Sidebar hover/focus/active states and the theme-switcher menu surface had the same bug.

## Fix

- **`app.scss` and `sidebar.scss`** switch to `:host-context(.dark)`. The Angular compiler recognises this directive and expands it without forcing the ancestor (`<html>`) to carry the scoping attribute. Compiled output:

  ```css
  .dark[_nghost-c0] .shell-main[_ngcontent-c0],
  .dark [_nghost-c0] .shell-main[_ngcontent-c0] { ... }
  ```

  The second selector matches `<html>.dark` as an ancestor of `<app-root>` (the host) — exactly what we want.

- **`theme-switcher` switches to `ViewEncapsulation.None`**. Its CDK menu opens in an overlay portal appended to `<body>` — outside the component's host subtree — so even `:host-context()` would miss it. With encapsulation disabled, the styles emit globally; the BEM-style class names (`.theme-switcher__menu`, `.theme-switcher__item`, ...) keep the rules contained without leaking.

## Drive-by

- Remove the right border on the `.header__logo-zone`. The visible hairline above the sidebar was extra noise — the alignment of widths already carries the visual relationship to the rail below.

## Why not also rip out the `dark:` Tailwind utilities used in the templates?

They work. They're emitted into the global Tailwind sheet, sit outside view encapsulation, and already handle the `.dark` ancestor lookup via their own selector (`:where(.dark, .dark *)`). The bug was specifically about component-authored CSS *inside* an SCSS file under emulated encapsulation.

## Test plan

- [x] `pnpm exec nx run-many -t lint test build --projects=portal-shell` — green (33 / 33 specs).
- [x] Inspect the produced CSS: `:host-context(.dark)` expands to both `.dark[_nghost-XXX]` and `.dark [_nghost-XXX]` selectors, no `_ngcontent` attribute leaked into the `.dark` portion.
- [ ] Manual: pick dark mode → `/` shows the dark page background; sidebar hover / active / focus visibly switches; theme-switcher menu opens with the dark surface.
- [ ] Manual: header no longer shows a vertical hairline between the logo zone and the search/actions cluster.

Documentation index

This is the entry point to all project documentation. It is maintained automatically: any addition, rename, or removal of a .md file under docs/ must be reflected here in the same change.

Conventions

  • Documentation is written in English.
  • One topic per file. Group related files into a folder when there are three or more.
  • Cross-reference with relative links so they keep working in GitHub, IDEs, and exported sites.
  • For architectural decisions, do not add them here — they belong in decisions/ as MADR 4.0.0 ADRs.

Sections

Daily development

  • development.md — repo layout, prerequisites, initial setup, daily commands, observability dev-loop (Jaeger UI, log ↔ trace correlation), dependency updates (Renovate), conventional commit cycle. Day-to-day reference for working on the project.

Architecture

  • architecture.md — cross-cutting Mermaid diagrams: C4 system context, C4 containers, Nx module boundaries, CI/CD pipeline. Single-decision diagrams (auth sequence, ERD, etc.) live inline in their ADR.
