Walkthrough

The layout now renders a reusable BackToTop component. The component appears after 300 pixels of scrolling and smoothly returns the page to the top when clicked.

Changes

Back-to-top navigation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
BackToTop behavior src/components/layout/BackToTop.jsx	The component tracks scroll position, hides until the page exceeds 300 pixels, and scrolls smoothly to the top on click. It includes accessibility labels, an arrow icon, fixed positioning, and hover styling.
Layout integration src/App.jsx	Layout renders BackToTop between the main content and footer.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6a9a7

The Back to Top button may remain hidden when a page opens at an existing scroll position, and keyboard users may lose focus after activating it. These are bounded accessibility and usability issues; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit follow-up.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a button bright,
I hop to the page’s highest height.
When scrolling travels far below,
A gentle click makes upward flow.
Clean hops, smooth tops, and no delay.

20-29: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve keyboard focus after the button unmounts.

When a keyboard user activates the button, the smooth scroll reaches the visibility threshold and BackToTop returns null. This removes the focused button and can move focus to the document body.

Add a persistent, focusable top landmark in src/App.jsx and move focus to it after activation.
