# T01: Added Trending Searches section to homepage with real-time popular search terms from GET /api/v1/search/popular

**Added Trending Searches section to homepage with real-time popular search terms from GET /api/v1/search/popular**

## What Happened

Added PopularSearchItem/PopularSearchesResponse types and fetchPopularSearches() to public-client.ts. Wired into Home.tsx with conditional rendering — section hidden when API returns empty or errors. Each term is a Link pill to /search?q={term}. CSS matches the dark/cyan design system with accent-bordered pills. Deployed to ub01 and verified with real data.

## Verification

TypeScript check (zero errors), build succeeds, grep checks for fetchPopularSearches/home-trending in all three files pass. Browser verification confirms trending section visible with real terms (reverb, synthesis, fx, drums) and pill clicks navigate to search results.
