# T02: Added featured technique spotlight section and converted recently-added to 2-column grid with deduplication and enriched card display

**Added featured technique spotlight section and converted recently-added to 2-column grid with deduplication and enriched card display**

## What Happened

Added featured technique spotlight (random fetch, full summary, creator link, badges, accent border) and enriched the recently-added section with CSS grid layout, 150-char summaries, and deduplication against the featured item. All styles use BEM under .home-featured prefix with CSS custom properties.

## Verification

npx tsc --noEmit: exit 0 (clean). npx vite build: exit 0. grep checks for home-featured in Home.tsx/App.css, grid-template-columns in App.css, sort/random in backend, sort in public-client all pass.

## Verification Evidence

| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | `npx tsc --noEmit` | 0 | ✅ pass | 3000ms |
| 2 | `npx vite build` | 0 | ✅ pass | 764ms |
| 3 | `grep -q 'home-featured' src/pages/Home.tsx` | 0 | ✅ pass | 50ms |
| 4 | `grep -q 'home-featured' src/App.css` | 0 | ✅ pass | 50ms |
| 5 | `grep -q 'grid-template-columns' src/App.css` | 0 | ✅ pass | 50ms |
| 6 | `grep -q 'sort.*random' backend/routers/techniques.py` | 0 | ✅ pass | 50ms |
| 7 | `grep -q 'sort' src/api/public-client.ts` | 0 | ✅ pass | 50ms |


## Deviations

Increased recent fetch limit from 5 to 6 to ensure 4 cards after deduplication. Added .home-featured__label element not in original plan.

## Known Issues
