feat(suggest): the dropdown, with combobox ARIA

Presentational only — it fetches nothing and owns no state, so the
fetching rules and the ARIA rules can be read separately.

onMouseDown, not onClick. The input's blur handler closes the list and
blur fires before click, so a click handler never runs: the classic bug
where a dropdown works perfectly by keyboard and is dead to the mouse.

The plan's CSS guessed at token names like --color-surface. The real
tokens are --bg-card, --border, --text-muted, --bg-secondary and
--shadow-soft, and all five are redefined in the dark theme — invented
names would have silently fallen back to hardcoded light values and
broken dark mode.

Local authority is rendered because there are many schools called
'St Mary's'; a list without it is unusable for exactly the query
autosuggest exists to serve, which is what the test asserts.
