Transform chapter pages from section lists into full readable documents:
- All section content rendered inline at build time via Astro render()
- Collapsible TOC at top (collapsed by default) with anchor links
- Section headings link to dedicated detail page (/statute/{slug}/)
- "History & diffs →" link for each section's version tracking
- Status badges (Repealed, Reserved, etc.) shown inline
- Inactive sections dimmed (opacity-60)
- Teal top-border separates each section visually
- Active/inactive section counts in header
- Back to title TOC link at bottom
- scroll-mt-4 on sections for smooth anchor navigation
Users can now read an entire chapter in flow without clicking into
each section individually. The dedicated section pages become the
"deep dive" view with diffs, precedents, and version history.

Summary
Transforms chapter browse pages from section lists into full readable documents — the biggest UX improvement in this session.
Before: Chapter page shows section numbers and titles as links. Must click each to read.
After: Full statute text rendered inline. Read an entire chapter in flow. Click section heading or "History & diffs" link for the deep-dive view.
Features
render()/statute/{slug}/detail pagescroll-mt-4for smooth anchor navigation from TOCWhy this matters
This makes us more usable than uscode.house.gov — users can read full chapters in one page instead of clicking through every section individually. The dedicated section pages remain for version tracking, diffs, and precedent annotations.
Navigation flow (updated)
/browse/→ pick a title/browse/title-18/→ expandable TOC, pick a chapter or section/browse/title-18/chapter-7/→ read full chapter text, click for details/statute/{slug}/→ diffs, version history, precedentsIssues
