📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a new unified search infrastructure by creating a new useSearch composable alongside a lightweight server API endpoint for package metadata. It refactors the npm search composables to utilise server-side metadata lookups instead of direct registry calls, whilst replacing useNpmSearch with the new generalised useSearch hook across components and pages. The changes include new utilities for transforming package metadata into search results, updates to existing composables (useOrgPackages, useOutdatedDependencies, useUserPackages) to leverage the metadata-based approach, and supporting infrastructure updates such as new route caching rules and test fixture enhancements.
