+# Admin Sidebar Fix - Debug Log
+
+## Last Change (sidebar_navigation fix attempt)
+**What I did:** Added `context['sidebar_navigation'] = custom_apps` in `each_context()` method in site.py
+**Why:** Unfold uses `sidebar_navigation` variable in templates, not `available_apps`
+**Result:** FAILED - Main group pages show NO sidebar, subpages show default Django sidebar
+
+## Current Fix Attempt
+**What I did:** Reverted sidebar_navigation override, changed `show_all_applications: True` in settings.py
+**Why:** Unfold's `get_sidebar_list()` builds sidebar_navigation from SIDEBAR.navigation config. When False, it expects navigation config. When True, it uses available_apps.
+**Expected:** Custom sidebar shows on all pages using available_apps
+
+## Root Cause
+Unfold has two modes: custom navigation (show_all_applications=False) OR auto from apps (show_all_applications=True). We need the second mode with our custom get_app_list().
