Owner

Replace the section sub-menu of Your details and Your career with vertical tabs, for easier management.

What exists today

The sub-menu is the sidebar of anchors (templates/partials/sidebar.html): a strip on phones, a list from lg, counts as badges; every section is on the page at once.
Your details is one form with one Save (templates/accounts/profile.html:45-327); sections are anchors, not panels. Basecoat tabs are not imported; #842 discusses the tabs look for links.

What would change

Two readings, to be chosen:

The tabs look on the same anchors — the sidebar drawn as vertical tabs, every section still on the page. Small, keeps the one form.
Real tabs — one section shown at a time. Needs a save per section (save-as-you-go covers some fields), a no-script shape, and a way to see unsaved changes in another tab.

Decisions

Recommended: (1) now, as #842 recommends for Listings; (2) only with per-section saving.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07.
