== Changelog ==

= 1.0.8 =
* Added explicit visible keyboard focus indicators for post thumbnail links in listing cards.
* Added visible keyboard focus indicators for related post thumbnails and homepage card thumbnails.

= 1.0.7 =
* Fixed asset loading for Reading Settings "Your latest posts" front page mode so the blog layout uses `main.css` and renders correctly.
* Fixed mobile submenu keyboard flow: submenu toggle buttons are now inserted in deterministic DOM order (`link -> toggle -> submenu`) and Tab from an opened toggle moves into child menu items.
* Improved admin bar offset handling for sticky header and mobile menu on small screens.

= 1.0.6 =
* Fixed front-page template behavior for WordPress Reading settings compliance:
  when "A static page" is selected, the selected homepage content now renders via the normal page template.
* Retained blog listing behavior when "Your latest posts" is selected.

* Kept submenu toggle DOM order aligned for accessibility (`link -> toggle -> submenu`).

* Fixed fallback menu normalization so nested `children` lists are treated as standard `sub-menu`.
* Updated menu JavaScript selectors to support fallback submenu markup (`.sub-menu` and `.children`).
* Improved nested mobile menu behavior for fallback page-menu structures.

= 1.0.3 =
* Mobile menu keyboard-navigation hardening for nested submenu flows.
* JavaScript prefixing cleanup in `assets/js/main.js` (all named functions now use `blognova*` prefix).
