The product-scoped sidebar contains 20 navigation items across 4 collapsible sections plus 2 pinned footer items. Even with collapsing, when all sections are open (common when navigating) the sidebar becomes a scrolling list. Users new to the product won't know which sections to visit first and there's no visual indicator of which sections have data or need attention.
Category: navigation File: src/components/product-sidebar.tsx Recommendation: Add notification badges to sidebar sections and items when they need attention: a red dot on 'Failures' when there are failures, an amber badge on 'Approvals', a count on 'Queue' showing pending items. This makes the sidebar informational rather than just navigational. Also consider merging 'Observability' + 'Failures' into a single 'Health' section to reduce item count.
