Motivation
Every frontend page depends on the layout shell. Setting up Shadcn and the global nav structure first means all other frontend devs can immediately build pages within a consistent design system.
Deliverables
Install and initialize Shadcn UI (npx shadcn-ui@latest init)
Configure Tailwind theme with UNC brand colors (Carolina Blue #4B9CD3, black, white - able to change in the future)
Install initial Shadcn components: Button, Table, Input, Card, Sheet (for mobile nav), NavigationMenu
Create src/components/layout/Header.tsx with full navigation matching TDD site structure:
Home
News
Senators (dropdown: Leadership, Roster, Contact Your Senator, Previous Leadership)
Committees
Legislation (dropdown: Search, Recent Legislation, Recent Nominations, Senate Rules, Public Disclosure, Senate Archives)
About (dropdown: Staff, Powers of the Senate, How a Bill Becomes a Law, Elections)
Funding (dropdown: How to Apply, Budget Process, Where Does My Money Go?)
Meetings
Create src/components/layout/Footer.tsx with basic senate contact info and links
Create responsive mobile navigation (hamburger menu using Shadcn Sheet)
Update src/app/layout.tsx to include Header and Footer
Important Notes
No dependencies — start immediately
"Senate Archives" links to an external Google Drive URL (use target="_blank")
The "Finance Hearing Scheduling" button on the homepage is conditional and NOT part of the nav — do not add it here
Follow WCAG accessibility: semantic HTML, keyboard-navigable nav, proper aria labels
Use Next.js Link component for all internal navigation
