The "Add to Compare" button on individual school pages was invisible
because the CSS variables --primary, --primary-dark, --success, and
--border-light were not defined in globals.css.
Added these variables mapped to the existing color palette:
- --primary: coral accent (#e07256)
- --primary-dark: dark coral (#c45a3f)
- --success: teal accent (#2d7d7d)
- --border-light: border color (#e5dfd5)
The button was already in the DOM but had no background color.

1. Show empty state by default on home page
- Don't fetch or display schools until user searches
- Show helpful message prompting users to search
- Only fetch schools when search params are present
2. Change distance search to miles
- Display 0.5, 1, and 2 mile options instead of km
- Convert miles to km when sending to API (backend expects km)
- Convert km back to miles for display in location banner
- Maintains backend compatibility while improving UX
3. Fix metric labels in rankings dropdown
- Backend returns 'name' and 'type' fields
- Frontend expects 'label' and 'format' fields
- Added transformation in fetchMetrics to map fields
- Dropdown now shows proper labels like "RWM Combined %"
instead of technical codes like "rwm_expected_pct"

In Next.js 15, searchParams is a Promise that must be awaited before
accessing its properties. The home page was directly accessing
searchParams.search, searchParams.local_authority, etc., which resulted
in all parameters being undefined. This caused all API calls to return
all schools regardless of search/filter parameters.
This fix brings the home page in line with the compare and rankings
pages, which already correctly await searchParams.
Fixes search, filter, and pagination functionality on the home page.

Backend returns filters directly at top level, not wrapped in 'filters' property.
Update FiltersResponse type and page components to match actual API response.
Fixes empty dropdowns for school types and local authorities.
