Frontend
- Dynamic-import Chart.js components on detail/compare views so Chart.js
no longer ships in initial JS.
- Drop force-dynamic on home, compare, rankings so internal data fetches
reuse Next.js's per-call revalidate cache.
- Switch /school/[slug] to ISR with a 7-day revalidate window (school
data updates annually).
- Preconnect to analytics + postcodes.io; remove redundant defer on the
Umami Script tag (afterInteractive already covers it).
- Bump images.minimumCacheTTL to 1 year.
- Extract HowItWorks and Editorial sections as server components passed
to HomeView via slot props so their JSX stays out of the client bundle.
Backend
- Add GZipMiddleware (min 512 bytes).
- Add CacheAndETagMiddleware: per-path Cache-Control with long s-maxage
+ stale-while-revalidate, ETag generation, and 304 on If-None-Match.

Add lib/analytics.ts with a single typed track() wrapper. SSR-safe,
never throws, no-ops when Umami isn't loaded. Event names form a
fixed union so refactors stay safe.
14 events wired:
Discovery (3)
search_submitted FilterBar submit + near_me path
near_me_used all geolocation outcomes
empty_results search returns 0 schools
Engagement (5)
school_viewed SchoolDetail + Secondary on mount, with
urn / phase / local_authority / from
section_nav_used section-nav links on both detail views
chart_metric_changed mobile chart chip switch
metric_compared_in_rankings rankings metric dropdown
external_link_clicked Ofsted / school website / DfE (declarative
data-umami-event attributes)
Conversion (5)
compare_school_added search/rankings/detail/compare sources
compare_school_removed detail toggle and compare page
compare_viewed once per session when there's a selection
(school_count, phase_mix)
compare_metric_changed compare page metric dropdown
compare_shared native sheet vs clipboard distinguished
Operational (1)
api_error caught in handleResponse, includes
endpoint / status / route
Suggested Goals to configure in the Umami dashboard for the funnel
report: search_submitted → school_viewed → compare_school_added →
compare_viewed → compare_shared.

Upgrades the existing "Pupils" stat to include a compact split bar and
percentage hint for mixed schools (single-sex schools already carry a
"Boys's/Girls's school" badge, so the split would be redundant).
Wires fact_pupil_characteristics into the API: new SQLAlchemy model and
a real census block in /api/schools/{urn} replacing the prior null stub.
On the primary detail page the inline "Pupils: 241" text is replaced by
a richer block (display number + bar + "52% girls · 48% boys"). On the
secondary detail page the existing "Total pupils" hero stat card grows
the bar and hint beneath the number. Both fall back to the previous
text-only rendering when census gender data is missing.

- GCSE top metrics (Att8, P8, Eng+Maths 4+/5+) promoted to heroStatCard
teal-tinted cards with Playfair serif values and DeltaChip vs national
- Attainment 8 visual bar: 0–80 scale with coral national-average marker
and pill label, mirrors the SatsChart concept for a score metric
- Progress 8 number line: −3 to +3 axis showing CI band, zero baseline,
and a teal/coral dot for the school's score (hidden when P8 suspended)
- SEN section upgraded from plain metricCard to heroStatCard grid
- History table moved into a details/summary accordion (collapsed by
default); PerformanceChart now lives at the top of the History section
always visible above the disclosure

The staging model aliased EES's total_number_places_offered column as
published_admission_number, but PAN is the school's published capacity
(not exposed by EES at school level) — what we actually have is the
count of places offered in a given admissions round. The misnomer
propagated to the mart, SQLAlchemy model, API response, TS types, and
UI copy ("places per year", "(PAN)").
Rename end-to-end and fix the UI labels:
- "29 places for 42 first-choice applications"
→ "29 places offered for 42 first-choice applications"
- "Reception/Year 7 places per year"
→ "Reception/Year 7 places offered"
- drop the misleading "(PAN)" suffix in the secondary view
Also add a comment in stg_ees_admissions clarifying this is the number
of places offered, not PAN. Requires dbt to rebuild fact_admissions
(marts are materialized as tables) before the backend can start.

latestResults.total_pupils in KS4 data is the Year 11 exam cohort (~1/7
of the school), not the full school roll. Prefer schoolInfo.total_pupils
(sourced from GIAS NumberOfPupils) which is the statutory census headcount.

Previously the dashed reference line was a flat horizontal at the latest
year's national average across all historical data, implying the national
figure was constant. Now the backend returns per-year averages in `by_year`
and the chart maps each data year to its own national average, so the
reference line correctly reflects how the national picture changed over time
(including COVID recovery dip/recovery).
- backend: /api/national-averages now includes `by_year` list alongside
existing `year`/`primary`/`secondary` latest-year snapshot
- types: NationalAverages extended with `by_year: NationalAveragesYear[]`
- PerformanceChart: accepts `nationalByYear` prop; builds per-year series
aligned to school data years, falling back to scalar prop if absent
- SchoolDetailView + SecondarySchoolDetailView: pass `nationalAvg.by_year`

- Bump school name to clamp(2rem,5vw,3.25rem) Playfair Display
- Add hero signal chips strip (framework-aware Ofsted + coral Oversubscribed)
- Add at-a-glance stats row: Att8 with delta vs national, Ofsted serif tile, first-choice rate
- Active section highlighting in sticky nav via IntersectionObserver
- Collapse OEIF Ofsted section to prose when all sub-grades match overall
- Pass nationalAtt8Avg reference line to PerformanceChart

Replace tab-based show/hide with always-visible sections and anchor
link navigation, matching the primary school detail page behaviour.

The overview tab was sparse for schools without parent view data, showing
only 2 cards. Now shows:
- Individual Ofsted grades when no overall effectiveness (post-Sept 2024)
- Admissions summary card (PAN, applications, 1st choice rate)
- School context card (pupils, capacity, SEN support, EHCP)
