/*
 * Main nav menu visibility.
 * The pages are @rendermode InteractiveServer, so Blazor owns the nav markup.
 * Previously #nav used inline style="display:none" and relied on nav-menu.js
 * (jQuery .show()) to reveal it once on load. After any interactive re-render
 * (e.g. clicking pagination) Blazor re-asserted display:none and the menu
 * disappeared. Controlling visibility purely via CSS keeps it independent of
 * Blazor's diffing and jQuery's one-time show.
