Navigation no longer shifts between root sections
What changed on July 14: bottom navigation keeps one position across Feed, Messages, and Profile.
Why it matters
The bottom bar used to change size and position when moving from Feed to Messages or Profile. Feed had separate geometry for its create action.
Feed, Messages, and Profile now share one bottom-bar geometry, and Story creation is available beside all three root sections. Selected and pressed states do not resize neighboring controls.
On a physical Pixel 9, six rapid cycles across the sections kept identical bounds for all four actions. Opening Story creation from Profile and returning after camera and microphone denial also left the bar unchanged.
This check used an Android debug build with a local backend. A complete TalkBack traversal, physical iOS check, and release-build repeat remain separate tasks.
