Line 1: school name (bold) + school type (muted gray)
Line 2: R,W&M % · Progress score + band · Pupil count
Line 3: local authority · distance (location searches)
Actions (View / Add) are vertically centred on the right across all lines.
Progress uses reading score, falling back to writing then maths. Removed
the old nameScore grouping and separate meta/progress rows in favour of
the cleaner 3-line structure.

Set explicit height:2rem, line-height:1, font-family:inherit on all children
of button group containers. Browsers apply different default line-height and
font-family to <button> vs <a>, causing height differences that persist even
with identical padding and display:inline-flex.

<a> tags are display:inline by default and don't respect vertical padding,
while <button> is inline-block. Mixed anchor/button pairs (View/Add) rendered
at different heights despite identical padding. Apply display:inline-flex +
align-items:center to every button-styled element across SchoolRow, RankingsView,
and SchoolCard. Add border:1px solid transparent to borderless buttons so total
box size matches bordered siblings.

Group school name and score together on the left using a nameScore flex
container, so the percentage sits close to the name rather than pushed to the
far right. Action buttons get slightly more padding on desktop (0.4375rem v
0.3125rem). On mobile the scoreLabel is now visible inline instead of hidden,
so the percentage reads as R,W&M not a bare number.

FilterBar was sending radius in km (e.g. 1.6) but the backend expects miles,
causing the "Showing schools within X miles" banner to display the wrong value.
Change option values to miles (0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10) and default from 1.6 to 1.
school.distance from the API is already in miles (backend haversine uses
R=3959). SchoolRow was dividing by 1609.34 giving 0.0 mi; CompactSchoolItem
was dividing by 1.60934. Both now display school.distance directly.

Replace the school card grid with a scannable row list that shows 3x more
results per screen. Each row shows: school name + R,W&M % with trend,
area/type meta, and reading/writing/maths progress scores with plain-English
band labels (e.g. "above average") instead of raw numbers.
Add lib/metrics.ts as a single source of truth for plain-language metric
explanations and the progressBand() helper. Map view toggle is unchanged.

Addresses 28 issues identified in UX audit (P0–P3 severity):
P0 — Critical:
- Fix compare URL sharing: seed ComparisonContext from SSR initialData
when localStorage is empty, making /compare?urns=... links shareable
- Remove permanently broken "Avg. Scaled Score" column from school
detail historical data table
P1 — High priority:
- Add radius selector (0.5–10 mi) to postcode search in FilterBar
- Make Add to Compare a toggle (remove) on SchoolCards
- Hide hero title/description once a search is active
- Show school count + quick-search prompts on empty landing page
- Compare empty state opens in-page school search modal directly
- Remove URN from school detail header (irrelevant to end users)
- Move map above performance chart in school detail page
- Add ← Back navigation to school detail page
- Add sort controls to search results (RWM%, distance, A–Z)
- Show metric descriptions below metric selector
- Expand ComparisonToast to list school names with per-school remove
- Add progress score explainer (0 = national average) throughout
P2 — Medium:
- Remove console.log statements from ComparisonView
- Colour-code comparison school cards to match chart line colours
- Replace plain loading text with LoadingSkeleton in ComparisonView
- Rankings empty state uses shared EmptyState component
- Rankings year filter shows actual year e.g. "2023 (Latest)"
- Rankings subtitle shows top-N count
- Add View link alongside Add button in rankings table
- Remove placeholder Privacy Policy / Terms links from footer
- Replace untappable 10px info icons with visible metric hint text
- Show active filter chips in search results header
