fix(search): keep the filter sheet usable while a change lands
The sheet's controls were disabled while a filter change navigated, and
a control disabled under focus drops it to <body>, out of the dialog.
They now stay enabled, with aria-busy on the sheet instead.

The disabling had also been covering a race: updateURL built from
useSearchParams, which only catches up once a navigation lands, so a
second change made before then undid the first. It now builds on the
URL the navigation in flight is heading to.

The sheet also closes if the screen widens past phone width while it is
open, so its selects and the desktop row's are never both showing.

SchoolCompare frontend and CMS

Next.js App Router with React, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Chart.js, Leaflet and Payload CMS. It serves school search, comparisons, rankings, school/place detail pages and editorial content across England.

Start with the repository overview, architecture and development checks.

Source map

Path Purpose
app/(frontend)/ Public root layout, server pages and FastAPI proxy
app/(payload)/ Payload root layout, /admin and /cms-api
app/robots.ts, app/opengraph-image.tsx, root icons Site-wide metadata endpoints
components/ Client views and reusable display components
components/school/ School detail sections
lib/api.ts, lib/types.ts Fetch wrappers and manual school API types
lib/schoolSections.ts, lib/compareLogic.ts Presentation decisions and data preparation
context/, hooks/ Comparison state, suggestion state and responsive behaviour
collections/, blocks/, migrations/ CMS schema and production migrations
__tests__/ Jest and React Testing Library tests

Do not introduce a shared app/layout.tsx: public pages and Payload have separate root layouts. Keep root metadata files outside the route groups.

Data and state

Server pages fetch initial data directly from FASTAPI_URL. Browser fetches use /api by default, forwarded by app/(frontend)/api/[...path]/route.ts. FASTAPI_URL must include /api. See .env.example for CMS and API settings.

State uses React hooks/context, URL search parameters and localStorage for the comparison basket. SWR is not installed. Maps use dynamic Leaflet wrappers. Revalidation intervals are configured in fetch wrappers and pages; they vary by resource. Backend reloads do not automatically invalidate every Next.js cache.

Commands

npm ci
npm run typecheck
npm test -- --runInBand
npm run build

test:watch and test:coverage are also available. There is no lint script. A running application needs the backend/data environment described in the development guide.

After CMS field or editor changes, run npm run generate:importmap. Keep payload-types.ts generated from the CMS schema rather than editing it by hand. The build must work without a database connection; avoid module-scope CMS queries and DB-backed generateStaticParams functions.

See publishing for CMS operations and deployment for staging and production promotion.
