Pull request overview
Adds an intelligent global search autocomplete experience to speed up navigation/lookup across assets, bridges, and pages, including UI integration and test support.
Changes:
- Integrates
GlobalSearchinto the navbar and wires up the mobile navigation components. - Adds
useSearchSuggestionshook (grouping, empty/loading state helpers, and keyboard-nav helpers) on top ofuseSearch. - Extends the test suite with an MSW mock for
/api/v1/searchand newSearchModaltests.

activeIndex is not clamped/reset when results changes. If the user navigates down to a higher index and a subsequent query returns fewer results, activeIndex can become out of range for suggestions, which can break selection logic in consumers. Consider clamping activeIndex in a useEffect when results.length changes (or automatically resetting it when debouncedQuery/results changes).

The "SearchResults highlighting" test doesn't assert any highlighting behavior (it only checks container exists), so it will pass even if <mark> rendering is broken. Add an assertion that waits for a known result (e.g., "Dashboard") and verifies the matching substring is wrapped in a <mark> element; this would also catch subtle issues like stateful RegExp.test usage in the highlight helper.

Keyboard navigation (ArrowDown/ArrowUp/Enter) is core modal behavior, but the current tests only cover Escape. Consider adding a test that arrows to a result and presses Enter to verify selection/navigation works as expected.

Navbar now renders links from desktopNavItems (from components/MobileNav/navigation.ts). Those items include routes like /dashboard, /transactions, /watchlist, etc., but the actual router only defines /, /bridges, /incidents, /analytics, and /watchlists (see frontend/src/App.tsx:14-20). This will produce broken navigation and incorrect active highlighting in the desktop navbar. Consider either updating the nav item source to match the real routes (or mapping/overriding the items here) before using it for desktop navigation.

useSearchSuggestions is currently unused (no references found in frontend/src). Since it duplicates logic that already exists in SearchModal/SearchResults (grouping, keyboard navigation, empty state), it risks diverging behavior over time. Either migrate the consuming components to this hook, or remove it until there is a concrete consumer.
Navbar.tsxwas non-functional (referenced undefined variables throughout), and the search autocomplete infrastructure—though partially built—was not wired into the navbar. This PR fixes the broken Navbar, integrates the existing search components, and adds theuseSearchSuggestionshook plus test coverage.Changes
