NavItems are database-backed navigation records used by the DataMine framework to build application navigation. DatState resolves valid routes into a sitemap that components can use for menus, breadcrumbs, and route-aware behavior.
DatState exposes resolved navigation items and helpers for looking up items by URL or retrieving children. This keeps navigation behavior centralized and avoids hard-coding application menus in many unrelated components.
The SnS technical docs tree is currently local to DocsLayout while the docs structure is still being shaped. A future DocState may replace that local tree when the route and database model are ready.
