A bug was reported where sidebar section headers appear bold when in the Admin area, even when the admin sidebar is disabled—this was unintended. The change was introduced in PR #26801 to visually distinguish the admin sidebar, but it incorrectly affected the regular sidebar too. bryce confirmed the change was intentional for admin distinction, and kris.kotlarek acknowledged the issue and fixed it in PR #26993. Moin first highlighted the unintended side effect, and AquaL1te originally reported the issue with screenshots. Separately, JammyDodger split off a related issue about category banners into its own topic.
After updating to the latest build (Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub) 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
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: 
This was an intentional change where the reasoning was to make the admin sidebar more visually distinct at a glance.
Thanks @moin–good catch!
Thank you for reporting this 
I just fixed that bug in this PR
