Pull Request Overview
This PR improves sidebar accessibility by moving the sidebar before the main content and wrapping it in an aside element with a dynamic aria-label.
- Sidebar is now rendered within an aside element with a dynamic label based on the active header link or site title.
- The previous static sidebar pane has been removed to maintain a logical DOM order.
