Sticky Title

Why we did this

When you scrolled a long page, its name scrolled away with it, so you could lose track of where you were.

What happened

The page name now stays pinned at the top beside the filter, shrinking out of the way as you scroll. It shipped on every qdash page.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Asked for the name to stay in reach, then tuned how it moves

Asked for the page title in the sticky band, ruled the seven open questions, said to pin the real title rather than a copy, kept its hairline, and slowed the motion until it felt calm.
