What: Closes #12640

  • Removes isDockTextExpanded, isDockExpandableExpanded from Compass,Page
  • Adds isDockOverlay to Compass,Page
  • Removes separate text-expanded modifiers for Button, MenuToggle, Nav (now uses expanded)
  • Bumps @adobe/css-tools in react-tokens to newer version which can account for CSS nesting, but also removes the docs CSS that used nesting that the core prerelease.50 brought in from the token parsing

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Docked navigation and pages now use a unified expansion state, with overlay behavior controlled separately. Expansion is no longer limited to mobile.
    • Docked buttons, navigation, and toggles use the expanded state for their appearance; previous text-expansion controls are no longer available.
    • Outside clicks and Escape close expanded docks in overlay mode or on mobile. Desktop docks can remain open after navigation when not in overlay mode.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Token generation skips CSS files in documentation folders.

Walkthrough

Docked components and demos now use unified expansion and overlay state. React package dependencies are updated, and token generation excludes CSS files under docs/.

Changes

Docked Navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dock props, modifiers, and tests
packages/react-core/src/components/{Button,Compass,MenuToggle,Nav,Page}/*.tsx, packages/react-core/src/components/{Button,Compass,MenuToggle,Nav,Page}/__tests__/*.tsx, packages/react-core/src/components/Nav/examples/Nav.md, packages/react-core/src/demos/Nav.md, packages/{react-core,react-docs,react-icons,react-styles}/package.json
Button, MenuToggle, and Nav use isExpanded for expansion styling. Compass and Page use isDockOverlay and remove separate dock expansion props. Tests and documentation reflect the updated props and modifiers. React package manifests update their PatternFly version.
Dock demo interactions
packages/react-core/src/demos/Compass/examples/CompassDockDemo.tsx, packages/react-core/src/demos/examples/Nav/NavDockedNav.tsx
Both demos track dock expansion and overlay state. They update dismissal, selection, toggling, navigation-group handling, and dock presentation.

Token Generation Inputs

Token generation inputs and dependencies

The token generator excludes CSS files under docs/. React Tokens updates its @adobe/css-tools and PatternFly development dependencies.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f554e

The unified dock controls now preserve mobile outside-click dismissal and reset overlay state when closing. No concrete merge-blocking issue remains in the supplied evidence.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f554e

The inspected changes affect navigation presentation and build-time CSS processing. No new privileged attack path was identified. Removed props require coordinated consumer updates, and downstream exposure is not fully established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is browser-side navigation presentation in consumers of the changed components, plus build-time parsing of CSS from the installed PatternFly package. The evidence does not establish tenant-wide, service-wide, credential, or persistent-data authority for these transitions; downstream consumer coverage remains incomplete.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Traced clicks, keyboard dismissal, and demo navigation selection reach local state updates, guarded focus operations, and static fragment targets. No introduced or materially worsened privileged attack path was established in these inspected paths. This bounded result does not establish complete security coverage for the library or its consumers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The token-input change adds an exclusion within the existing installed-package CSS root. It does not add a request-controlled input path or alter that root. The parser dependency implementation itself was not inspected.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Both demos remove their window and media-query listeners during effect cleanup. Their separate mobile toggle changes expansion without clearing overlay state, unlike the dock-toggle close path. The inspected consumers keep that divergence within presentation state, and collapsed mobile inert behavior remains keyed to expansion.

Pass the dock state to the docked Nav.

When isDockExpanded becomes true, Nav still defaults isExpanded to false. The Page expanded class applies to the dock wrapper, not the Nav element, so the navigation can remain collapsed instead of displaying its text.

Suggested fix

🟡 Minor · Remove the stale isTextExpanded Button prop. · Button.tsx:274

packages/react-core/src/components/Button/Button.tsx:274
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale isTextExpanded Button prop.

This PR intentionally replaces isTextExpanded with isExpanded. MenuToggle and the docked navigation demos already use the new contract. However, ButtonProps still documents and types isTextExpanded, while ButtonBase ignores it. TypeScript consumers can therefore pass a prop that no longer expands docked button text.

Suggested fix
  /** @beta Flag indicating the button is a docked variant button. For use in docked navigation. */
  isDocked?: boolean;
- /** @beta Flag indicating the docked button should display text. Only applies when isDocked is true. */
- isTextExpanded?: boolean;

Update the remaining isTextExpanded references in packages/react-core/src/demos/Nav.md to document isExpanded.

packages/react-core/src/components/Nav/examples/Nav.md and packages/react-core/src/demos/Nav.md still mention the old props. The PR also needs a rebase.

Is this intended?:

  1. Click hamburger menu - nav is beside content.
Image
  1. Expand folder - it now overlays content.Image

Just this and a small typo for me!: https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-react/pull/12661/changes#r4138439407

I confirmed the click-outside behavior on mobile is not working.

Otherwise looking good. Just needs a rebase.
