 ## Phase 20 — Bridge Dashboard and HQs Tab (CR-020)
 
 Spec: `memory-bank/change-requests/CR-020-bridge-dashboard.md`. New decisions recorded as plan §0.5.118–0.5.121.
+- [x] **Step 20.1 — Navigation: Bridge and HQs.** `SCREENS`: `/` is now "Dashboard" with the tab label "Bridge" and a new `helm` icon; `/hqs` ("HQs", HQ icon) sits after Pilots, with a first `HQs` screen (header only until 20.2). The bottom bar is eight columns; labels tighten their tracking below `sm` so "PILOTS"/"PLACES" fit about 48 px. The goals badge stays on `/`. The HQ screen's heading is "Dashboard"; the away summary's "Claim on HQ" is "Claim on the Bridge" (tests that looked for the "HQ" heading updated). Test: `layout.test.tsx` (eight links, Bridge first and current on launch, HQs at `/hqs`; every screen's heading at its path).
