+# S04: ToC Modernization
+
+**Modernized technique page Table of Contents: moved to sidebar, replaced counters with accent bar, added scroll-spy active section highlighting via IntersectionObserver.**
+
+## What Happened
+
+Two tasks delivered the full ToC modernization for technique pages.
+
+T01 relocated the TableOfContents component from inside the v2 prose column to the top of the sidebar div, making it automatically sticky (sidebar already has position: sticky). Restyled from a card with CSS counters to a clean list with a 2px left accent bar (--color-accent), hover backgrounds (--color-accent-subtle), and an "On this page" heading. Changed ordered list to unordered list. Gated rendering to v2-format pages only since v1 pages lack structured section hierarchy.
+
+T02 added IntersectionObserver-based scroll-spy. A useEffect creates an observer watching all section/subsection heading elements (H2 slugs and H3 compound slugs with -- separator). rootMargin of '0px 0px -70% 0px' means a section becomes active when it enters the top 30% of the viewport. Active state uses --color-accent-focus (15% opacity) background and font-weight 500, visually distinct from the hover state (10% opacity, normal weight). Observer disconnects on unmount.
+
+## Verification
+
+Frontend production build passes with zero errors and zero warnings (npm run build, 945ms). All three key files modified: TechniquePage.tsx (ToC moved to sidebar), TableOfContents.tsx (new heading, ul, IntersectionObserver scroll-spy), App.css (accent bar, hover/active styles). Code inspection confirms: activeId state, IntersectionObserver with rootMargin, conditional active class names, CSS rules for --active variants.
+
+## Requirements Advanced
+
+- R040 — All acceptance criteria delivered: no counters, left accent bar, On this page heading, hover states, IntersectionObserver active highlighting, sticky in sidebar via existing sidebar positioning.
+
+## Requirements Validated
+
+None.
+
+## New Requirements Surfaced
+
+None.
+
+## Requirements Invalidated or Re-scoped
+
+None.
+
+## Deviations
+
+T02 added a non-null assertion on intersecting[0] after a length > 0 guard because TypeScript couldn't narrow through the .sort() chain. Minor, no functional impact.
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+None.
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+None.
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — Moved TableOfContents render from v2 prose column to sidebar top, gated on v2 format
+- `frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx` — New heading 'On this page', ol→ul, IntersectionObserver scroll-spy with activeId state and conditional active class names
+- `frontend/src/App.css` — Replaced counter/card ToC styles with accent bar, hover backgrounds, and active state styles (--active variants)

+# S04: ToC Modernization — UAT
+
+**Milestone:** M016
+**Written:** 2026-04-03T05:55:24.264Z
+
+# S04: ToC Modernization — UAT
+
+## Preconditions
+- Frontend deployed (or `npm run dev` on local)
+- At least one technique page with v2 body_sections_format and 4+ sections (H2 headings with H3 subsections)
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### TC1: ToC renders in sidebar, not in prose
+1. Navigate to a v2 technique page (e.g., one with multiple sections)
+2. **Expected:** ToC appears at the top of the right sidebar column, not inside the main prose area
+3. **Expected:** Heading reads "On this page"
+4. **Expected:** Items are an unordered list (no numbered counters)
+
+### TC2: Left accent bar styling
+1. On the same technique page, inspect the ToC container
+2. **Expected:** A 2px solid cyan left border (--color-accent) is visible on the ToC nav element
+3. **Expected:** No card background, no rounded card border
+
+### TC3: Hover states on ToC links
+1. Hover over a section link in the ToC
+2. **Expected:** Background changes to a subtle accent color (--color-accent-subtle, ~10% opacity)
+3. Hover over a subsection (indented) link
+4. **Expected:** Same hover background treatment
+
+### TC4: Active section highlighting on scroll
+1. Scroll down through the technique page content
+2. **Expected:** As each H2 section enters the top ~30% of the viewport, its ToC link gains an active highlight (stronger background at --color-accent-focus ~15% opacity, font-weight 500)
+3. Continue scrolling to the next section
+4. **Expected:** Active highlight moves to the new section; previous section loses highlight
+5. Scroll to an H3 subsection
+6. **Expected:** The subsection link in the ToC also gains active styling
+
+### TC5: Sticky behavior
+1. On a long technique page, scroll past the sidebar content
+2. **Expected:** ToC remains visible (sticky positioning) as you scroll through the article
+3. **Expected:** ToC doesn't overlap or clip the main content column
+
+### TC6: v1 format pages have no ToC
+1. Navigate to a technique page with v1 body_sections_format (if any exist)
+2. **Expected:** No ToC appears in the sidebar
+
+### TC7: Short page with few sections
+1. Navigate to a technique page with only 1-2 sections
+2. **Expected:** ToC still renders correctly with 1-2 items, no visual glitches
+
+### TC8: Build verification
+1. Run `cd frontend && npm run build`
+2. **Expected:** Zero errors, zero warnings, clean build output

# S05: Sticky Reading Header
-**Goal:** Add a sticky reading header component that shows article title and current section name when user scrolls past the title area on technique pages.
+**Goal:** Thin sticky reading header appears when scrolling past article title on technique pages, showing title + current section, with slide-in/out CSS animation.
**Demo:** After this: Thin sticky bar appears when scrolling past article title, shows title + current section, slides in/out.
## Tasks
+- [x] **T01: Lifted scroll-spy state from TableOfContents to TechniquePage, created ReadingHeader sticky bar with slide-in animation triggered by H1 leaving viewport** — Extract IntersectionObserver scroll-spy from TableOfContents into the parent TechniquePage, create a ReadingHeader component that shows article title + current section in a thin fixed bar, and add CSS with slide animation. The bar appears when the H1 title scrolls out of view and hides when it reappears.
+
+**Context for executor:**
+- `TableOfContents.tsx` currently owns `activeId` state and the IntersectionObserver effect. These must move up to `TechniquePage.tsx` so both ToC and ReadingHeader can read activeId.
+- `TableOfContents` currently takes `sections: BodySectionV2[]` as its only prop. After the lift, it should also accept `activeId: string`.
+- The H1 element has class `technique-header__title` — use a ref or querySelector to observe it.
+- z-index landscape: modals=1000, mobile menu=200, overlays/dropdowns=100. Use z-index 150 for reading header.
+- v2 format gate: only render ReadingHeader when `displayFormat === 'v2'` and sections exist (same condition as ToC).
+- Mobile: reading header should still appear at 375px. Truncate title with text-overflow: ellipsis.
+ - Estimate: 45m
+ - Files: frontend/src/components/ReadingHeader.tsx, frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx, frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx, frontend/src/App.css
+ - Verify: cd frontend && npm run build 2>&1 | tail -5 && echo '---' && grep -l 'reading-header' src/App.css src/components/ReadingHeader.tsx && echo '---' && grep -c 'activeId' src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx

+# S05 Research: Sticky Reading Header
+
+## Summary
+
+Straightforward UI feature. A thin fixed bar slides in when the article title (`h1.technique-header__title`) scrolls out of view, showing the technique title and current section name. Slides out when scrolling back to the top. All required patterns (IntersectionObserver, activeId) already exist in `TableOfContents.tsx`.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Single new component `ReadingHeader.tsx` that:
+1. Uses IntersectionObserver on the H1 element to detect title visibility
+2. Receives `activeId` and `sections` props from the parent (same data already flowing to `TableOfContents`)
+3. CSS transition for slide-in/out (`transform: translateY(-100%)` → `translateY(0)`)
+
+Requires lifting `activeId` state up from `TableOfContents.tsx` into `TechniquePage.tsx` so both `TableOfContents` and `ReadingHeader` can consume it. The observer logic currently inside `TableOfContents` moves to the parent or a shared hook.
+
+## Implementation Landscape
+
+### Existing Code
+
+| File | Role | Lines |
+|------|------|-------|
+| `frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` | Article page; renders title H1, two-column grid, passes sections to ToC | ~370 |
+| `frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx` | Sidebar ToC with IntersectionObserver scroll-spy tracking `activeId` | ~100 |
+| `frontend/src/App.css` | All styles; technique section starts line 1842 | 5723 |
+
+### Key Structural Facts
+
+- **Article title**: `
{displayTitle}
` inside `.technique-columns__main`
+- **activeId state + IntersectionObserver**: Currently private inside `TableOfContents.tsx`. Must be lifted to `TechniquePage.tsx` so `ReadingHeader` can also read it.
+- **Section slugs**: `slugify()` exported from `TableOfContents.tsx`, already shared
+- **Sidebar**: `.technique-columns__sidebar` has `position: sticky; top: 1.5rem`
+- **App header**: `.app-header` is NOT sticky/fixed — scrolls with page. No z-index set on it.
+- **z-index landscape**: skip-to-content at 999, mobile menu at 200, modals at 1000. Reading header should use ~100.
+- **Mobile breakpoint**: 768px — sidebar collapses to single column. Reading header should still work on mobile.
+- **v2 gate**: ToC only renders for v2 format pages. Reading header should follow the same gate.
+
+### Architecture
+
+**State lifting approach:**
+- Extract IntersectionObserver logic from `TableOfContents` into a `useActiveSection(sections)` custom hook (or just move the useState + useEffect into `TechniquePage.tsx`)
+- `TableOfContents` receives `activeId` as a prop instead of managing it
+- `ReadingHeader` receives `activeId`, `sections`, `title`, and `visible` (boolean from H1 observer)
+
+**H1 visibility detection:**
+- Second IntersectionObserver in `TechniquePage.tsx` watching the H1 element
+- When H1 is not intersecting → show reading header; when intersecting → hide
+- No rootMargin needed — simple "is the title visible at all" check
+
+**Slide animation:**
+- `position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 100`
+- `transform: translateY(-100%)` when hidden, `translateY(0)` when visible
+- `transition: transform 0.3s ease`
+- This is CSS-only, no animation library needed
+
+**Current section display:**
+- Look up `activeId` in `sections` array to find the matching heading text
+- Display as "Title — Current Section" or "Title · Current Section"
+
+### Natural Task Seams
+
+1. **T01: Lift activeId + create ReadingHeader component** — Extract observer from ToC into parent, create ReadingHeader component with fixed positioning and slide animation, wire into TechniquePage, add CSS
+2. **T02: Verify build + visual behavior** — Production build, check that ToC still highlights correctly, reading header appears/disappears, mobile breakpoint hides appropriately
+
+Actually, this is small enough for a single task. The state lift is mechanical, the component is ~40 lines, the CSS is ~30 lines.
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Must not break existing ToC scroll-spy behavior
+- Must only appear on v2 technique pages (same gate as ToC)
+- Must not overlap with modal (z-index 1000) or mobile menu (z-index 200)
+- CSS transition only — no spring/animation libraries
+- Reading header should show a truncated title on narrow viewports
+
+### Verification
+
+- `npm run build` passes with zero errors/warnings
+- ReadingHeader component exists and is rendered conditionally
+- CSS contains `.reading-header` with `position: fixed` and `transform` transition
+- ToC still shows active section highlighting (observer logic preserved)

+# T01: Lift activeId state, create ReadingHeader component, wire into TechniquePage
+
+Extract IntersectionObserver scroll-spy from TableOfContents into the parent TechniquePage, create a ReadingHeader component that shows article title + current section in a thin fixed bar, and add CSS with slide animation. The bar appears when the H1 title scrolls out of view and hides when it reappears.
+
+**Context for executor:**
+- `TableOfContents.tsx` currently owns `activeId` state and the IntersectionObserver effect. These must move up to `TechniquePage.tsx` so both ToC and ReadingHeader can read activeId.
+- `TableOfContents` currently takes `sections: BodySectionV2[]` as its only prop. After the lift, it should also accept `activeId: string`.

+- Mobile: reading header should still appear at 375px. Truncate title with text-overflow: ellipsis.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- ``frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx` — current IntersectionObserver + activeId logic to extract`
+- ``frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — parent page; will own activeId state and render ReadingHeader`

+**Lifted scroll-spy state from TableOfContents to TechniquePage, created ReadingHeader sticky bar with slide-in animation triggered by H1 leaving viewport**
+
+## What Happened
+
+Extracted the IntersectionObserver and activeId state from TableOfContents into parent TechniquePage. TableOfContents now receives activeId as a prop. Created ReadingHeader component — a thin fixed bar showing article title + current section heading, controlled by a visible prop driven by a separate IntersectionObserver on the H1 element. Added CSS with transform translateY transition for slide-in/out, z-index 150, and mobile truncation. Reading header only renders on v2 format pages with sections.
