Restructured HTML to useLabelGroup(label + description) andContent(control + error) containers for proper horizontal layout.

Fixed
Sidebar collapse animation stability (Sidebar)
Fixed jitter and layout shifts during sidebar collapse/expand animations. Stabilized flexbox rendering for menu items, improved padding transitions, and ensured footer cards animate in only after sidebar fully expands.Sidebar mobile menu label visibility (Sidebar)
Labels in mobile menu were sometimes hidden due to incorrect collapsed state detection. Fixed to ensure labels are always visible in mobile drawer mode regardless of desktop sidebar state.Month stepper sizing and alignment (Date Range Picker)
Fixed multiple issues with the month stepper trigger: stepper buttons now properly scale with control size using CSS variable overrides with correct specificity; added vertical alignment for buttons; gap between buttons and text scales with control size; month text min-width now usesemunits (9em) to scale with font size, preventing width jumps when switching between months with different name lengths (e.g., "May" vs "September"). Stepper buttons now inheritpillprop from parent, matching SelectControl's Clear button behavior. Added size and pill controls to Storybook docs for testing.Clear button sizing and consistency (Input)
Clear button overflow and border collision at various sizes. Refactored to use built-inonClearprop with dedicated sizing tokens matching SelectControl's clear-iso button. Updated gutter values and added per-size offsets for proper alignment in both standard and pill modes.FieldError semantic color tokens (Field)
Replaced hardcoded error colors with--color-text-danger-outlineand--color-border-danger-outlinesemantic tokens. Removedmargin-top: -0.1emhack from error icon, now relies on flex centering for alignment.Pill overflow and text overlap (Tabs)
In pill mode, narrow options (icons, single digits) could be narrower than the control height, causing circular hover highlights and the active thumb to overflow or clip. Added min-width to options in pill mode ensuring they're at least as wide as the control height. Also fixed a scrollable mode regression where text items overlapped, and corrected invalidwhite-space: wraptowhite-space: normal.Highlight overlay radius mismatch (Tabs)
The hover/active overlay (::before) used the sameborder-radiusas the option, but the overlay is inset by 1px. This caused the inner rounded shape to not nest correctly. Added calculated radius as option radius minus inset, so the overlay aligns flush with the container.Pill gutter scaling with opticallyAlign (Select Control, Input, Button)
When usingopticallyAlignwithpill={true}, the margin calculation used only the base gutter and ignored the pill scaling multiplier (1.33×). Controls with pills now correctly multiply the margin by--control-gutter-pill-scaling, aligning properly with Ghost controls.Inconsistent gap between Options and Actions (Select)
Options usedgap: spacing(1)(4px) while Actions used--menu-item-gap(6px). Standardized both to use--menu-item-gapfor consistency with the base Menu component.Search input icon color (Select)
The search icon hadclassName="fill-secondary"butfill="currentColor"in the SVG path inherited color from the Input container, ignoring the class. Fixed by passingfill="var(--color-text-secondary)"as a prop with!importantto overridecurrentColor.Missing caution color variant (Badge)
Badge was missing thecautioncolor option, inconsistent with Button and Alert. Addedcautionto BadgeProps, implemented CSS styles for all variants (soft, solid, outline), and added to the Colors example matrix.Tabs pill variant radius (Tabs)
Fixed incorrect border-radius in pill mode for both segmented and vertical orientations. The option radius now correctly uses--radius-fullwhen pill is active.Field label text selection (Field)
Removeduser-select: nonefrom Field label, allowing users to select and copy label text.
