📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Converted Header component to a client component with pointer event tracking to dynamically update a CSS custom property controlling glass border opacity. Refactored hardcoded navigation links into a mapped array using a shared className and added overlay glow elements that respond to pointer movement.

Summary

Header Component Enhancement src/sections/Header.tsx

Added 'use client' directive, implemented pointer event handlers with refs to track navbar hover state and update CSS custom property --glass-border-opacity, applied inline transforms to overlay glow elements. Refactored navigation from hardcoded anchor elements to navLinks array with .map() rendering and consolidated styling via navLinkClassName. Added navbar container styling enhancements including overflow-hidden and translucent desktop background.

🐰 A header now follows the mouse's gentle dance,
With glowing overlays that shimmer and prance,
Links reorganized in a tidy array,
The navbar's transparency brightens the day! ✨

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Replace placeholder # nav targets before release.

Line 15 and Line 16 currently point to #, which causes a jump-to-top behavior instead of real navigation. In a primary header, this is a user-facing broken flow and should be resolved (real anchors/routes or temporarily removed items).

These placeholder # targets were already in the navbar before this PR. This change set focused on desktop navbar alignment and visual interaction only, so the existing navigation destinations were left unchanged.

[coderabbitai]

@ankitkr104, understood — thanks for the context! Since the placeholder # hrefs are pre-existing and out of scope for this PR, would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue to track replacing them with real anchor/route targets before release? That way it won't get lost.
