Description

when I click on Community → Chapters, the page content switches to the Chapters screen, but the navbar still highlights “Community” instead of “Chapters.”
It looks like the active state is not being updated after selecting a subsection.

**To Reproduce**

1.)Go to https://nest.owasp.org/

2.)Hover over Community in the top navigation bar.

3.)Click on Chapters from the dropdown menu.

4.)Observe that the active menu indicator remains on Community instead of switching to Chapters.

**Expected behavior**
The active navbar state should update to reflect the selected section.
After navigating to Chapters, the menu should highlight Chapters instead of Community to maintain clear navigation context and UX consistency.

**Are you going to work on fixing this?**

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**

OS: macOS

Browser: Chrome

Version: 142.0.0.0

**Additional context**
I just want to confirm whether this behavior is intentional by design or a missing active-state implementation before submitting a formal fix.
