    <!--
  ===================================================================
  DEFAULT LAYOUT - Standard content layout with sidebars
  ===================================================================
  
  File: default.html
  Path: _layouts/default.html
  Inherits: root.html
  Purpose: Primary content layout with sidebar navigation and table of contents
  
  Template Logic:
  - Creates a responsive three-column layout using Bootstrap grid
  - Left sidebar: Site navigation and content outline (collapsible on mobile)
  - Center: Main content area with page title and body content
  - Right sidebar: Table of contents and page shortcuts (hidden on mobile)
  - Implements scroll spy for navigation highlighting
  - Responsive design that stacks vertically on mobile devices
  
  Layout Structure:
  1. Container wrapper with Bootstrap responsive classes
  2. Left sidebar (bd-sidebar) - Navigation and outline
  3. Main content area (bd-main) with:
     - Intro section (page title, metadata)
     - Right sidebar (bd-toc) - Table of contents
     - Content area (bd-content) - Main page content
  
  Dependencies:
  - sidebar-left.html: Site navigation and content outline
  - intro.html: Page title, breadcrumbs, and metadata
  - sidebar-right.html: Table of contents and page shortcuts
  
  Bootstrap Classes Used:
  - container-xxl: Extra large responsive container
  - bd-gutter: Custom Bootstrap spacing
  - bd-layout: Custom layout utility class
  - bd-sidebar: Custom sidebar styling
  - bd-main: Main content area
  - bd-toc: Table of contents styling
  - bd-content: Content area styling

  ===================================================================
  SIDEBAR LEFT - Dynamic Navigation Sidebar
  ===================================================================
  
  File: sidebar-left.html 
  Path: _includes/navigation/sidebar-left.html
  Purpose: Left sidebar navigation with three standardized content modes
  
  Template Logic:
  - Responsive offcanvas sidebar for mobile devices
  - Three navigation modes based on page.sidebar.nav:
    * "auto": Auto-generated folder structure from collection documents
    * "tree": YAML-defined hierarchical navigation from _data/navigation/
    * "categories": Category-based navigation from site categories
  
  Dependencies:
  - sidebar-folders.html: Dynamic folder structure generation (auto mode)
  - sidebar-categories.html: Category-based navigation (categories mode)
  - nav-tree.html: YAML-based hierarchical tree (tree mode)
  - Bootstrap 5 offcanvas component
  
  Navigation Modes:
  1. auto: Scans collection documents to build folder structure
  2. tree: Uses predefined YAML navigation from _data/navigation/*.yml
  3. categories: Groups content by Jekyll categories

  ===================================================================
  NAV TREE - Flat YAML Navigation Renderer
  ===================================================================
  
  File: nav-tree.html
  Path: _includes/navigation/nav-tree.html
  Purpose: Render hierarchical navigation from YAML data files
  
  Parameters:
  - nav: Name of navigation file in _data/navigation/ (e.g., "docs", "main")
  
  Data Schema (expected in _data/navigation/*.yml):
  - title: string (required) - Display text
  - url: string (optional) - Link URL
  - icon: string (optional) - Bootstrap Icons class (e.g., "bi-folder")
  - expanded: boolean (optional) - Default expanded state (default: false)
  - children: array (optional) - Nested navigation items (max 2 levels)
  
  Note: This implementation supports 2 levels of nesting to avoid Jekyll's
  include depth limit. For deeper nesting, consider a plugin approach.
  
  Dependencies:
  - site.data.navigation[nav]: Navigation YAML data
  - Bootstrap 5 collapse component
  - Bootstrap Icons for visual indicators
  
  Usage:
  include navigation/nav-tree.html nav="docs"
