Citation: Requested by prithvi in Slack to align the down carets in the docs sidebar. The fix uses flexbox with justify-content: space-between on summary elements to push carets consistently to the right edge.

Citation: Per InlinePizza's feedback: removed right padding from .sidebar-content details details > summary instead of using absolute positioning. This preserves the native caret rotation animation while still achieving proper alignment.

Citation: Per InlinePizza's feedback: also removed right padding from top-level summary elements (.sidebar-content .top-level > li > details > summary) to ensure carets align consistently across both top-level and nested sections.

(Line 314)

Citation: Per InlinePizza's feedback: nested carets weren't aligning with top-level carets because nested ul elements have their own indentation. This rule removes right margin/padding from ul elements inside sidebar details, allowing nested summary carets to extend to the same right edge as top-level summaries.
