After updating to the latest build ([Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/abb073b80a0ea9ecac292cd0e5d07b8d1f86eb52)) I see some minor issues.

When I’m in the Admin section, the side panel titles are in bold.

But when I switch to the main page again, these titles become regular again (as it always was).

I think this was added in  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26801](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26801)  
But it impacts not only the admin sidebar but also the normal sidebar when the admin sidebar is disabled.

I’ve split the #category-banners issue into a separate topic: 👍

> [@Links in category banners now show in black](https://meta.discourse.org/t/links-in-category-banners-now-show-in-black/307360/1):

> The Category Banner theme component now shows URLs in a different color. These weren’t black before, I believe they had a different color. Is this intended? [image]

This was an intentional change where the reasoning was to make the admin sidebar more visually distinct at a glance.
