ACTUAL root cause of the recurring nav-vanishing bug, validated live via
Chrome CDP probe on staging at vw=1030.

## What happens

When the More dropdown opens:
- BEFORE: nav_links.y = 2.67, nav_left.scrollHeight = 47, nav visible ✅
- OPEN: nav_links.y = -46.67, nav_left.scrollHeight = 279, nav clipped
offscreen ❌

The .nav-more-menu is position:absolute but its content extents inflate
.nav-more-wrap.scrollHeight. .nav-left { display:flex;
align-items:center } then centers a 279px content line in a 52px
container, putting everything above the visible band.

## Fix

Add contain:layout to .nav-more-wrap — isolates its layout box from the
parent flex calculation. No more bubble-up.

CDP verification with the fix applied: dropdown opens, all 6 items
render at proper y (56, 93, 130, 166, 203, 240), nav_links_y stays at
2.67, nav_left.scrollHeight stays at 47.

## Why prior 22 fixes didn't catch it

Every prior fix treated symptoms — Priority+ algorithm tweaks, overflow
flag toggles, min-height drops, etc. None instrumented the CLOSED→OPEN
state transition that reveals the flex-line bug. Required Chrome
DevTools Protocol on a real broken viewport to see the inflate happen
live.

Fixes #1406 and likely supersedes #1391, #1396, #1400, #1404.
