Research direction

Start by tracing the sidebar header and nav padding chain in the import code; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the sidebar's first item at 1440px with the source, then adjust the box adding the 32px offset. Done when the first item aligns vertically while the 36px item pitch and horizontal placement still match.

Description

Problem

At 1440px, the sidebar's first item ("Home") is at y=212 in the source and y=244 in the import (lilstarsiberians.com, run 8g). The offset applies to the whole sidebar. Item pitch (36px) and horizontal placement already match.

Next step

Reduce the sidebar header and nav padding chain to find which box adds the extra 32px.
