- ComparisonView now uses fetchComparison from lib/api
- SchoolSearchModal now uses fetchSchools from lib/api
- Fixed bug in fetcher function that incorrectly sliced URLs
(url.slice(4) was removing '/com' from '/compare')
This fixes the malformed URL issue where '/api/compare' became '/apipare'.

Added better UX and debugging for the comparison screen:
1. Loading state for chart section
- Shows "Loading comparison data..." when schools are selected
but data hasn't loaded yet
- Provides visual feedback to users
2. Enhanced debugging logs
- Log URNs being fetched
- Log API response status
- Log received comparison data
- Better error handling with null state on failure
3. Improved conditional rendering
- Chart shows when data is available
- Loading message shows when waiting for data
- Nothing shows when no schools selected
This helps diagnose any API issues and provides better user feedback
during data loading.

The compare screen and school search modal were not working because
they were fetching from '/api' directly instead of using the
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL environment variable that points to the backend.
Fixed client-side fetch calls in:
- ComparisonView: Fetch comparison data with correct API URL
- SchoolSearchModal: Search schools with correct API URL
This ensures client-side requests go to the FastAPI backend at
the configured URL (e.g., http://localhost:8000/api) rather than
trying to hit non-existent Next.js API routes.
Fixes comparison screen showing no data when schools are selected.

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.
