# Mobile menu drawer invisible — Quick Fix

## Bug
After redesigning the mobile menu to the full-screen Figma drawer (`4164-5336` → `ARK V2 - 導航菜單`), tapping the hamburger toggled the icon to `X` but the drawer overlay never appeared on screen. Page content stayed fully visible and the bottom nav stayed on top.

## Root Cause
The drawer was rendered as a child of `<header className="sticky top-0 z-40 …">`. A `position: sticky` element with a `z-index` creates its own stacking context, which traps the drawer's `position: fixed; z-50` inside that context. Globally, the drawer ends up bound to the header's `z-40` layer, while the unrelated bottom navigation (`<nav className="fixed inset-x-0 bottom-0 z-40 …">`) lives in the root stacking context at `z-40`. With equal global `z`, source order wins — the bottom nav paints later and the drawer never reaches the foreground.

## Fix
Move the drawer JSX out of `<header>` and render it as a sibling at the layout root, so its `fixed`/`z-50` positioning lives in the root stacking context and stacks above both the header and the bottom nav.

### Files Modified
- `src/layouts/PublicLayout.tsx` — relocated the `{open ? (…) : null}` mobile drawer block from inside `<header>` to immediately after `</header>`. Logic unchanged; the `menuRef`, click-outside handler, body scroll lock, and inner nav/CTA structure all keep working because they reference the element by ref/state, not by DOM position.

## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` — clean.
- `npm run format` then `npm run format:check` — clean.
- `npm test` — 49/49 passing.
- Expected on device: tapping the hamburger now reveals the dark full-screen drawer with the 5 nav items, active item in gold, and the bottom `链接钱包` CTA (or the connected-wallet pill).

## Notes
- This is the same class of issue any future fullscreen overlay should avoid: do not nest `position: fixed` overlays inside a `position: sticky + z-index` ancestor. Either render them at the layout root or use a React Portal.
- `position: sticky` *without* `z-index` does not create a stacking context, but adding any `z-index` to it does. The header here uses both because it needs to sit above the content while scrolled.
