Pull Request

Description

This PR fixes inconsistent navbar section navigation and scroll restoration behavior across routes.

Previously, clicking on the Features section link from pages like About or Constitution updated the URL but did not properly navigate back and scroll to the Features section on the homepage. The Home navigation behavior while already scrolled down was also inconsistent.

Changes Made

• Updated navbar and footer section links from #features to /#features
• Enhanced ScrollToTop.jsx to support hash-based scrolling using location.hash
• Added smooth scrolling behavior for section navigation
• Added delayed scroll handling to ensure proper scrolling after route rendering and mobile menu transitions
• Preserved normal scroll-to-top behavior for standard route navigation

Closes #349

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?

Desktop

• Home → Features navigation
• Constitution/About → Features navigation
• Home scroll-to-top behavior

Mobile

• Mobile drawer → Features navigation
• Cross-route section scrolling from About/Constitution pages
• Smooth scrolling after mobile menu close

Files Modified

• src/ScrollToTop.jsx
• src/components/landing/Header.jsx
• src/components/landing/Footer.jsx

Checklist

• My code follows the project style guidelines
• I have tested the changes locally
• I have tested the changes on both desktop and mobile views
• The issue is fixed without affecting existing navigation behavior
