### Docked

The docked variant of `Navigation` displays only icons passed to child `NavItems` or `NavExpandable`. Text becomes visible when `isDockTextExpanded` or `isDockExpandableExpanded` are applied to an outer page or compass dock.

`NavExpandable` items should include the `hasExpandableIcon` prop to indicate their expandable nature while in the collapsed state of the docked nav as the caret will not be rendered.

See the [docked nav demo](/components/navigation/react-demos#docked-nav) for a fully functional example.

```ts file="./NavDocked.tsx"

Gate this modifier on dockContent.

The prop documentation says it applies only when dock content is passed, but Line 381 checks only isDockExpandableExpanded. A docked Page without dockContent can therefore apply expandable styling to an empty dock. The equivalent logic in packages/react-core/src/components/Compass/Compass.tsx is inside the dock && branch.

Add a content guard and a regression test for a docked page without dockContent.

In `@packages/react-core/src/components/Page/Page.tsx` at line 381, Update the
expandable styling condition in Page so styles.modifiers.expandableExpanded is
applied only when both isDockExpandableExpanded and dockContent are present,
matching the guarded logic in Compass. Add a regression test covering a docked
Page without dockContent and verify the expandable modifier is not applied.
