Marwa\Framework\Navigation\MenuRegistry

Resolve the shared menu registry from the application container:

$menu = $app->make(\Marwa\Framework\Navigation\MenuRegistry::class);

$menu->add([
    'name' => 'dashboard',
    'label' => 'Dashboard',
    'url' => '/dashboard',
    'order' => 10,
    'visible' => static fn (): bool => user()?->hasPermission('dashboard.view') === true,
]);

$tree = $menu->tree();

Short description: Collects normalized menu items for the main application navigation. Module providers can register menu items during boot and views can consume the final mainMenu tree.

Menu visibility is presentation-only. Always enforce backend access with controller guards, policies, or route middleware.
