279-281: ⚡ Quick win

Use transition-colors instead of transition-all for hover states.

On these nav/menu items, only color properties change on hover (hover:bg-black hover:text-white). Using transition-all animates unnecessary properties and causes unnecessary GPU/CPU work. Replace with transition-colors for the same visual effect with better performance.
