Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, Decidim lacks a clear and consistent breadcrumb system. The existing header combines navigation and breadcrumbs in a single mega-menu, which creates confusion about the user’s current location and makes it harder to understand the structure of the site. Without a proper breadcrumb, users lose context and must rely on the browser back button or top navigation to go back, which can be inefficient and disorienting.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a dedicated breadcrumb navigation system with the following behavior:
On desktop:
- The full breadcrumb is displayed directly below the main header.
- It reflects the full hierarchical structure: Organization > Space (e.g., Process or Assembly) > Component > Resource (e.g., proposal, meeting).
- Each item is clickable and allows users to go back to that level.
On mobile:
- A compact breadcrumb is shown, displaying only the immediately previous item in the navigation hierarchy.
- Tapping this item takes the user back to the previous level (e.g., from proposal to component, from component to process).

Additional context
This issue is part of a larger effort to remove the legacy mega-menu and improve header clarity by decoupling global navigation and breadcrumbs.
Does this issue impact users' private data?
No, it does not involve processing personal data.
