August 2025 monthly summary for statamic/cms: Focused navigation UI polish and stability. Implemented a targeted padding refinement to ensure padding is applied only to the last <ul> direct child of .nav-main-inner, preventing unintended padding on other nav lists and stabilizing the main navigation layout across breakpoints. This change improves usability and reduces layout drift in the primary navigation.
