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 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 expanded appearance; previous text-expansion controls are no longer available.
    • Updated dock interactions: outside clicks and Escape close overlay docks, while desktop docks can remain open after navigation when not in overlay mode.
    • Token generation now skips CSS files in documentation folders.

Walkthrough

Docked components now use unified expansion and overlay props. The demos update dock state handling and presentation. 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,react-docs,react-icons,react-styles}/package.json
Button, MenuToggle, and Nav use isExpanded for expansion styling. Compass and Page remove separate expandable and text-expansion props and apply the overlay modifier through isDockOverlay. Component tests check the updated modifiers. The packages 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. Outside clicks and Escape close an expanded dock. Selection, toggles, navigation groups, tooltips, and control presentations use the updated state.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6045e

The change simplifies the docked navigation expansion props and updates the related demos. No concrete merge-blocking risk was identified in the reviewed changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9dcb7

The reviewed changes affect navigation presentation rather than access controls. One docked Button option remains advertised even though it no longer controls expansion. Use by applications outside this repository has not been established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · observed: Button still declares isTextExpanded as a docked text-visibility prop, but no longer uses it. A caller relying on that accepted prop will not obtain the documented expansion behavior; expansion now depends on isExpanded.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated effects are within dock presentation in react-core. The reach of the changed public props into external applications is not established by the available dependency evidence.

Explanation

The component, demo, and test updates support #12640. The @adobe/css-tools upgrade and the docs/** exclusion in packages/react-tokens/scripts/generateTokens.mjs implement CSS token-generation changes, not docked navigation prop simplification. These changes are unrelated to #12640.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

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
-              <Nav onSelect={onNavSelect} variant="docked" aria-label="Global">
+              <Nav onSelect={onNavSelect} variant="docked" isExpanded={isDockExpanded} aria-label="Global">

🟡 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.

Remove the stale isTextExpanded property from ButtonProps and update the
remaining navigation demo references to document isExpanded instead; keep
ButtonBase aligned with the new prop contract.
