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.

MOB-07: Admissions deadlines strip becomes a horizontal snap-scroller
on ≤640px instead of a cramped 2×2 grid (which forced "Secondary ·
Deadline" track labels down to 9.6px). Cards stay readable, the right
edge fades to signal more content past the viewport, .chipTrack font
bumped to 0.7rem.
MOB-09: Result-card line3 (headline metric + secondary stats) was
crowding everything onto one row. Force the first .stat (Attainment
8 / RWM headline) to flex-basis 100% on mobile so delta-vs-LA and
pupil count wrap below it with a visible row-gap. Applied to both
SchoolRow (primary) and SecondarySchoolRow.
MOB-12: MetricTooltip ⓘ icons rendered at ~9px and relied on :hover
(which doesn't fire on touch). Hide the whole .wrapper at ≤640px —
metric labels themselves carry the meaning. Saves building a
tap-to-show layer for now.
MOB-13: The "Ofsted pending / No inspection on record" empty state
took a full hero card to communicate non-information. Add a
data-ofsted-state attribute on the hero chip; on ≤640px, the
"none" state collapses to a single muted line.
MOB-17: Already had Type+Action columns hidden on rankings mobile —
no change needed beyond marking complete.
MOB-18: Long metric headers ("Reading, Writing & Maths Combined %")
forced the value column wide. Drop .valueHeader to 0.625rem with
white-space: normal at ≤640px so labels wrap onto 2 short lines.

MOB-06: On phones the home hero stacked eyebrow tag, h1, description
paragraph, search input, button, "Schools near me" and three explore
chips before the user could see the deadlines strip. Hide the eyebrow
and the descriptive paragraph at ≤640px (the h1 already names the
product; the search input is the primary action) and move the
"Start exploring" chips to render after the admissions deadlines —
time-sensitive info now leads, generic discovery follows. Result on
390×844: heading → search → Schools near me → first deadline chip
all fit above the fold.
MOB-11: The school-detail hero took ~2 viewports before the first real
metric. At ≤768px, switch .meta back to row+wrap so the short pills
("Manchester" / "Voluntary aided") flow 2-per-row instead of stacking
3 full rows, and hide the .headerDetails block (headteacher / website /
pupil count / trust) — secondary info that lives in the Pupils &
Inclusion section anyway. Reclaims ~70px of hero so the Ofsted card
and the headline metric surface within a single viewport.

MOB-03: The school-detail section nav (SATs / Admissions / Pupils /
Location / History) overflows on phones (scrollWidth 462 vs clientWidth
356) with no signal that more tabs exist past the right edge. Add a
right-edge mask-image fade at ≤640px, scroll-snap on each link, and
bigger tap targets (min-height 36px, padding bumped). A scroll/resize
listener toggles an .atEnd class that removes the fade once the user
has scrolled to the last tab.
MOB-04: The "What you'll see on every school" cards rendered preview
visuals (mini cascade chart, Ofsted badge, compare table) with text
scaled down to 6–10px — unreadable on a phone. Hide .hiwVisual at
≤640px and let the explanatory text carry each card; tiny visible
text count on the home dropped from 51 to 8.

- New /admissions route with AdmissionsView client component
- Live countdowns (days until) to Primary/Secondary deadlines and Offer Days
- Step-by-step timelines for both tracks with highlighted milestone rows
- Tips section covering equal preference rule, late applications, waiting lists
- Homepage countdown strip (4 cards) between discovery chips and how-it-works
- Admissions nav link and footer link added
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Hero: Playfair heading with coral italic accent, teal eyebrow pill,
richer sub-copy describing both primary and secondary coverage
- Discovery: geolocation "Schools near me" button (reverse-geocodes via
postcodes.io → /?postcode=…&radius=1), plus Start exploring chips
linking to /rankings and /compare
- How it works: 3-card grid showing miniature real-UI previews for
Performance (primary SATs cascade + secondary Att8 bar), Ofsted
inspection card, and side-by-side Compare table
- Editorial: text column + factbox (totalSchools, LA count, coverage
dates) rendered inside a white card below the how-it-works section
- Footer: expanded to 3 columns (brand blurb, Product, Resources);
links updated to / /rankings /compare and real gov.uk/ofsted URLs
- All new sections visible only on landing (no search active)

Replace fixed 480px height with calc(100vh - 280px) so the map
fills most of the viewport on any screen size, clamped between
520px and 800px.

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:

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

- 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)"

Merged the hero title/description into FilterBar component to save
vertical space. The combined block has a gradient background flowing
from cream to white with the search controls below the header.

Reduced padding and title size to eliminate empty feeling, added
