+//          the app so every consumer (embedded + standalone) renders search the
+//          same way instead of hand-rolling hit rendering. Owns query state,
+//          paginated results, loading/error/clear; shows the caller's `browse`
+//          content when there is no active search. Pure: the actual search runs
+//          through an injected `onSearch` callback.
