Addressed Issues:

issue number: #184
The dashboard nested four levels of horizontal padding, and below lg the sidebar collapsed into an MUI Select rather than a hamburger.

Screenshots/Recordings:

Before: a wide dead gutter down one side, and blocks that stopped at different right edges.
After: every block shares one left and one right edge; the rail collapses to icons on desktop and to a drawer on mobile.

Additional Notes:

  • frontend/src/utils/layout.js holds the shared shell gutter, card and section-gap classes. The navbar uses the same constant as the pages, so the logo, the wallet button and the content line up on the same edges.
  • Dropped the inner max-w-* from the dashboard pages: stacked on top of the fixed sidebar it left a dead gutter on one side only. What read as "stretched" was blocks not sharing a right edge rather than the page being wide, so they align instead of being width-capped.
  • Mobile: the Select becomes a hamburger plus a slide-out Drawer. Desktop: the rail collapses to a 68px icon strip with tooltips, remembered in localStorage — read synchronously, or the rail renders expanded and then snaps shut on every load.
  • DashboardNav is rendered by both the rail and the drawer, so the two variants cannot drift apart.
  • Fixes the fixed-navbar offset: the navbar is h-24 but main had pt-20, so content sat 16px underneath and only cleared it because of an unrelated mt-4 on the dashboard heading.

Layout only — no behaviour change, so no new tests. Existing 159 pass.

Builds on #197 and #204, both merged. This PR applies directly to main.

The dashboard nested four levels of horizontal padding and then applied an
inner max-w-7xl on top of a fixed sidebar, which left a wide dead gutter on
the right and pushed the invoice items well below the fold.

- Add src/utils/layout.js holding the page container, card, header and
  section-gap classes so the dashboard rhythm is tuned in one place instead
  of per-page magic classes.
- Drop the inner max-width from every dashboard page and trim the padding
  and section margins across Create Invoice, Create Multiple Invoices, Sent,
  Received, Request Invoices and Settings.
- Replace the mobile MUI Select with a hamburger that opens a slide-out
  Drawer. The nav list is extracted into DashboardNav and rendered by both
  the desktop rail and the drawer, so the two cannot drift apart. The
  hamburger doubles as the current-section label, and navigating closes the
  drawer instead of leaving the overlay parked over the new page.
- Fix the fixed-navbar offset: the navbar is h-24 but the main padding was
  pt-20, so content sat 16px underneath and only cleared it thanks to an
  unrelated mt-4 on the dashboard heading.
Removing the inner max-width fixed the dead right gutter but left the page
uncapped, which read as stretched. The cause turned out to be alignment
rather than width: the invoice meta bar stopped well short of the items
table below it, so the right edge was ragged.

- Share one gutter (SHELL) between the navbar and every page shell, so the
  logo, the wallet button and the page content sit on the same left and
  right edges. Treasure adopts it too.
- Give the meta bar, the Client/Payment row, the items table and the total
  row the same left and right edges, so the layout reads as deliberate at
  any width. Cards in the row stretch to equal height.
- Collapse the desktop rail to a 68px icon-only strip with tooltips; the
  choice persists in localStorage, read synchronously so the rail does not
  render expanded and then snap shut.
- Replace the sidebar greeting's empty space with the connected address and
  network, keeping the greeting above it.
- Cap the invoice total at a min-width instead of a third of the row, where
  the label and amount drifted apart on a wide screen.
- Settings: let each card own its heading rather than repeating the same
  title in the section above it.
The sidebar header stacked three lines — greeting, address, network — and the
address and network were already shown in the navbar, so two of them were
duplication. Drop them and pair "Welcome Back!" with the collapse toggle on a
single row, which reclaims about 40px above the nav items.

In `@frontend/src/page/Home.jsx`:
- Around line 191-199: Update toggleRail so it computes the next collapsed value
outside the setRailCollapsed updater, writes that value to localStorage with the
existing failure handling, then updates state using the computed value; keep the
interaction behavior unchanged and ensure the updater contains no side effects.
- Around line 232-233: Update the Home component’s drawer state so navOpen
resets when the theme breakpoint reaches lg, preventing hidden-modal scroll
locking; retain the existing responsive visibility behavior. Also connect the
hamburger button and Drawer with aria-controls="dashboard-nav-drawer" and
id="dashboard-nav-drawer", respectively.
- Line 28: Replace the hardcoded colors in MENU_ITEMS and the drawer sx styles
with defined semantic theme tokens, mapping all six menu items and adding a
sixth token if necessary. Add a dedicated token for the drawer’s existing dark
shell rather than mapping it directly to --background, whose default is light,
and use the tokens for border and icon styling.

In `@frontend/src/page/Settings.jsx`:
- Line 23: Externalize the changed user-visible copy through the existing i18n
resources: update frontend/src/page/Settings.jsx lines 23-23 and
frontend/src/components/UserProfileSettings.jsx lines 41-42 to use translation
keys, adding the corresponding resource entries and preserving the displayed
text.

In `@frontend/src/utils/layout.js`:
- Around line 4-18: Update the shared shell documentation and class in
frontend/src/utils/layout.js lines 4-18: describe the shared gutter instead of a
width cap and remove the unused mx-auto from SHELL. In
frontend/src/components/Navbar.jsx lines 143-144, describe sharing the page
shell’s gutter; in frontend/src/page/Home.jsx lines 212-213, describe using the
same gutter as the navbar.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on StabilityNexus#205.

- The drawer was hidden by MUI's lg (1200px) while the hamburger and rail
  use Tailwind's (1024px), so between the two the drawer stayed mounted with
  nothing visible to close it. It is now keyed to 1024px like the rest, and
  closes when the viewport crosses that width so the modal cannot leave the
  body scroll locked. The hamburger gets aria-controls for the drawer.
- toggleRail wrote to localStorage inside the state updater. Updaters are
  expected to be pure and React may call them more than once per dispatch,
  so the write now happens before setState.
- SHELL dropped its max-width earlier but the comments still described a
  width cap, and mx-auto had nothing to centre once w-full was the only
  width. Reworded and removed.
