Mirador canvas — 1060px wide (vs 848px in sidebar layout)
2nd Mirador window
(side-by-side comparison)
gains 264px vs old sidebar
③ Context bar — compact, always visible
"Now Viewing" label + one-click return to browse.
Only 38px tall — maximizes viewer height.
④ Mirador at full 1440px width
Viewer window: 1,060px wide (was 848px).
Side-by-side 2-window comparison gains 264px each.
Design rationale (Option B)
+ Sidebar gone → Mirador gains full width when focused · + Drawer scales to any manifest count (just gets taller/adds column) · + Institution structure visible at a glance in grid
− Higher implementation cost (new drawer component, animation) · − One extra click to start browsing vs always-visible sidebar
