Description Each integration page is meant to show a " Designs" section listing related designs from the Meshery Catalog. That section is currently missing on every integration page, even for technologies that do have designs in the catalog. Example: https://layer5.io/cloud-native-management/meshery/integrations/prometheus Scroll past the "Get Started / See Documentation" area. Where the designs should appear, there's just empty space. Prometheus has one design in the catalog ("Thanos Query Design"), but the page doesn't show it. The same happens on other integration pages, such as Istio. Cause The page does load the designs from Layer5 Cloud, and the data comes back fine. The problem is that the page looks for the number of designs under an old field name (total_count). Layer5 Cloud now sends that number under a new name (totalCount). Because the page can't find the count, it assumes there are zero designs and hides the whole section. The same old-vs-new naming also breaks the design

Description This is a responsiveness issue in the form/modal styling, and the cause is in src/sections/app.style.js. In short: the layout is using fixed-height form dimensions rather than viewport-aware responsive sizing. Expected Behaviour The form inside the modal should remain fully visible and usable on mobile, tablet, and desktop. Its width should shrink with the viewport instead of being stuck at a large desktop width. Its height should not force the form to overflow or get clipped on smaller screens.

Description On https://layer5.io/company/about, the "Who Are We?" section. At 390px and 768px the cards overlap each other and the content runs off the right edge of the screen. The cause is a syntax error in src/sections/Company/WhoWeAre/whoweare.style.js: A stray } on line 47 closes the styled.section block early, so every rule after it stops applying to the section. That includes the .columnWrap, .second-row, .third-row and .item styles and all the @media overrides (max-width 1600px, 991px, 480px) that reduce the section padding and reset the row margins on smaller screens. A leftover pa on line 27 (a half-typed declaration inside the h3 rule). Because the responsive overrides never apply, small screens keep the desktop values (padding: 4rem on the section, margin: 2rem 5rem on .row), which leaves almost no width for the cards. Separately, .second-row has no justify-content: center while .third-row does, so the second row of three cards (Cloud Native Performance Maintainers, Kuber

Description On the GCP Architecture Diagramming page, there is insufficient vertical spacing between the videos and their corresponding text content on mobile view. For example, in the “Visual drag & drop” section, the video is positioned too close to the heading and description below it. The same issue is visible around the “Extensive GCP component library” section. Expected Behavior There should be a reasonable vertical gap between the video and the text content below it so that the sections have better visual separation and readability on mobile devices.
