 // ant-design-vue 4 removed its LESS theme entirely (CSS-in-JS design tokens
-// replace modifyVars) — `ant-design-vue/dist/antd.less` no longer exists, so
-// it is no longer imported here; ADV4's runtime styles are injected by the
-// library itself. Primary/link/radius tokens now live in App.vue's
-// <a-config-provider :theme>.
+// replace modifyVars) — `ant-design-vue/dist/antd.less` no longer exists.
+// Each COMPONENT's styles are injected at runtime by the library, but the
+// global BASELINE is not: ADV4 ships it separately as dist/reset.css and
+// requires you to import it yourself. It carries box-sizing, the body margin
+// reset and — critically — the list-style reset the menu depends on. Without
+// it the sidebar renders as raw <ul> bullets and the whole panel stacks
+// vertically, so this import MUST come first.
+// Primary/link/radius tokens live in App.vue's <a-config-provider :theme>.
 //
 // `ara/ant.less` (426 lines of hand-written RTL flips for float/margin/
-// transform) is also gone: ADV4 renders RTL natively via CSS logical
-// properties when direction="rtl" is set, which App.vue already does. The
-// small residue ADV4 does not cover lives in ./rtl-overrides.css.
