# T02: Created useDocumentTitle hook and wired descriptive, route-specific browser tab titles into all 10 page components

**Created useDocumentTitle hook and wired descriptive, route-specific browser tab titles into all 10 page components**

## What Happened

Created `frontend/src/hooks/useDocumentTitle.ts` — a hook that sets document.title and restores the previous title on unmount. Wired it into all 10 pages: 6 with static titles (Home, TopicsBrowse, CreatorsBrowse, About, AdminReports, AdminPipeline) and 4 with dynamic titles that update when async data loads (SubTopicPage, CreatorDetail, TechniquePage, SearchResults).

## Verification

TypeScript compilation (`npx tsc --noEmit`) and production build (`npm run build`) both pass cleanly with zero errors.

## Verification Evidence

| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | `npx tsc --noEmit` | 0 | ✅ pass | 3400ms |
| 2 | `npm run build` | 0 | ✅ pass | 2600ms |


## Deviations

None.

## Known Issues

None.
