Description

Suggested by @fantasai in https://twitter.com/fantasai/status/1438998571311841281:

Would be really nice if WPT would have some kind of unified navigation banner across all its websites.

Y'know, level up from undifferentiated some-people-wrote-useful-scripts chaos to some quality late 1990s UX.

I think this is a good idea. For wpt.live there is a challenge of not messing with reftests, but we could at least do it for all directories, including the root.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how wpt.live renders its root and directory pages, including how reftests are kept unaffected. Define the shared navigation scope across the WPT websites and verify that the resulting banner appears consistently without disrupting reftest behavior.
