 - **Responds to container size**, not viewport size. The component uses a ResizeObserver to monitor its own width, so it works perfectly in embedded contexts, documentation examples, and responsive containers.
 - Overflow items are cloned into a "More" dropdown menu while the originals are hidden.
 - Works with all nav styles: default, pills, tabs, and underline.
+- Supports both `.nav-item > .nav-link` markup and direct `.nav-link` children (including button-based tabs).
 - Active and disabled states are preserved in the overflow menu.
