## Best for

An inventory and orders admin whose secondary nav swaps per rail section, each with its own footer card such as live stats or storage

## Agent notes

- Replace `NAV_ITEMS`, `INNER_NAV`, `NOTIFICATIONS`, `WORKSPACES`, `APPS` and `ENVIRONMENTS`; each `INNER_NAV` section mounts its card through `footer`
- `InnerSidebarStats` fakes Live Metrics: from mount a 1500ms `setInterval` jitters `METRICS_VARIANTS` with a seeded random
- The header Create menu items, plus Mark all as read, View all notifications and each action `Button` in `NotificationsDrawer`, have no handler

## When not to use

- The same org, product and environment crumbs over one sidebar and a live system monitor: use [Environment Switcher](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/app-shell/app-shell-7.md) (`get_block("app-shell-7")`)
- One collapsible sidebar with nested nav, pinned resources and a workspace switcher: use [Icon Rail Dashboard](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/app-shell/app-shell-1.md) (`get_block("app-shell-1")`)

## About App Shell blocks

### When to use

- The outer layout of a multi page product: the navigation around its content area
- Dashboards and admin consoles that switch between workspaces or projects

### When not to use

- One overview page of stats, charts and tables inside your own layout: use the [Dashboard blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/dashboard.md)
- A top bar on its own, above a page layout you already have: use the [Navbar blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/navbar.md)

### Agent notes

- Shells that switch themes call `useTheme` from next-themes, so the app must mount the next-themes ThemeProvider
