Implements the direction agreed from the identity board: Route C ("Cohort")
with the paper ground from C1, the Schibsted Grotesk / Literata pairing from
C2, and the iris accent from C3. Dark theme is in scope from the start rather
than retrofitted.
The audit found three things wrong beyond taste:
* No brand asset set. og:image was absent entirely, so every link shared into
a class WhatsApp group rendered as a bare grey card. apple-touch-icon pointed
at an SVG, which iOS ignores, and the manifest shipped no PNGs, so Android
installs had no icon. The header mark and the favicon had also drifted into
two different logos.
* No colour discipline. --primary and --trend-down were the same coral, so the
main CTA and "below average" shared a hue. 58 distinct hex values were spread
across component CSS, and the chart palette was still Chart.js's stock demo
colours.
* A dark theme that was declared but never built — themeColor announced a dark
variant with no dark styling behind it.
What changed:
Colour now has exactly three jobs that never borrow each other's hues: brand
(iris) for interactive and identity, status (teal/amber) for above/below a
comparison point, and phase for categories. Teal/amber rather than green/red
keeps the above/below signal readable for every form of colour blindness.
Every chromatic literal in component CSS is now a token, and the JS-painted
surfaces (Chart.js, Leaflet) read the tokens through lib/theme so they follow
the theme instead of ignoring it.
The mark is the five-bar cohort spread — the same object as the distribution
strip inside a school row, built from opacity steps so it inverts cleanly.
components/Logo.tsx is the single source; the favicon, apple-icon and share
card all derive from its geometry.
globals.css drops 123 dead global classes left over from the vanilla-JS app
(only the btn family, .skip-link and .main were still referenced), along with
the noise overlay. It also gains prefers-reduced-motion support, which was
missing entirely, and a type scale so the 54 ad-hoc font sizes have somewhere
to converge.
Verified: tsc clean, 159 unit tests pass, production build succeeds and
prerenders /icon.svg, /apple-icon and /opengraph-image. Three e2e journeys
added for the asset set, the themeColor/background match, and the dark theme
actually repainting — all silent failures that nothing on the page reveals.

Adds the Umami session recorder (recorder.js) that powers heatmaps,
alongside the existing analytics tracker. Loaded via next/script with
the same data-domains guard as the main tracker so it only fires on the
production hostnames — staging runs the same image under a different
host and must not feed the heatmap.
Cookieless: recorder.js uses Umami's server-side session model (no
cookie or local storage on the device), so it adds no new PECR
consent trigger.
Verified with tsc --noEmit and next build.

The same frontend image runs on staging and prod (build once, promote), so a
build-time env var can't tell them apart. Umami's data-domains attribute
scopes the tracker client-side: events only fire when location.hostname is a
production domain, so staging traffic and the E2E journeys never pollute the
dashboards.

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.

Adds data-performance="true" to the Umami script tag. From v3.1.0+,
this hooks PerformanceObserver and posts LCP, INP, CLS, FCP and TTFB
to the collect endpoint with Google's rating buckets pre-applied.
The Umami dashboard then surfaces them in its built-in Performance
tab with p50/p75/p95 percentiles and per-page / per-device breakdowns
— no custom event taxonomy needed.
Requires the analytics instance to be on Umami ≥ v3.1.0. The
attribute is a no-op on older versions, so no risk to ship before
upgrading the dashboard.

MOB-19: Add a viewport Viewport export with viewportFit: 'cover' and
themeColor entries for light (#faf7f2) / dark (#1a1612), plus the
appleWebApp metadata for the home-screen status bar style and title.
Manifest's stale #3b82f6 theme_color updated to match brand cream.
MOB-20: Apply env(safe-area-inset-*) to the sticky chrome — the top
header gets max(padding, inset-left/right) so the logo and tab links
clear the notch in landscape; the bottom tab bar already had
inset-bottom and now also gets inset-left/right.
MOB-21: Replace 100vh with 100dvh in body min-height, modal max-heights,
the map view container, and the fullscreen map. Older engines fall
back via the duplicated vh declaration.
MOB-22: Set -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent on body to
suppress the iOS Safari grey flash; add a generic touch-pointer
:active rule (opacity 0.7) so taps still register visually on plain
anchors and bare buttons. Components with their own :active styling
are unaffected.

- Backend: replace INNER JOIN ks2 with UNION ALL (ks2 + ks4) so primary

tab hidden for secondary; admissions says Year 7 instead of Year 3;
history table shows KS4 columns; chart datasets switch for secondary
- Frontend: new MetricTooltip component (CSS-only ⓘ icon) backed by
METRIC_EXPLANATIONS — added to RWM, GPS, SEN, EAL, IDACI, progress
scores and all KS4 metrics throughout SchoolDetailView and SchoolCard
- Frontend: METRIC_EXPLANATIONS extended with KS4 terms (Attainment 8,
Progress 8, EBacc) and previously missing terms (SEN, EHCP, EAL, IDACI)
- Frontend: SchoolCard expands "RWM" to "Reading, Writing & Maths" and
shows Attainment 8 / English & Maths Grade 4+ for secondary schools
