Cascade Broke Responsive CSS Layout

Website layout is not responsive after Cascade refactored CSS. Mobile views are broken, grid layouts collapse incorrectly, or media queries are not working. The responsive design that worked before is now non-functional.

Cascade likely removed or modified media queries, flexbox properties, or CSS variables during refactoring.

Common Causes

  1. Cascade removed @media query breakpoints or modified breakpoint values
  2. Flexbox/Grid properties changed: removed flex-wrap, changed grid-template-columns
  3. Cascade simplified CSS variables, breaking dynamic responsive values
  4. CSS units changed (rem to px) breaking responsive scaling

How to Fix It

Review CSS media queries for breakpoints (typically 640px, 768px, 1024px, 1280px). Test layout at different viewport widths using browser dev tools. Check for flex-wrap and grid-auto-flow properties. Ensure CSS variables are responsive-aware. Use CSS Grid or Flexbox inspector to debug layout issues.
