Bug

The grid card and detail panel render meta affordances that look implemented but never appear on prod, because the underlying fields only exist in src/data.js (SAMPLE_UPLOADS):

• Gold-star "featured" chip — src/app.jsx:1098-1099 reads item.featured
• "Used on N" card meta — src/app.jsx:1117 reads item.usedOn
• "N views" card meta — src/app.jsx:1118 reads item.views
• "Views" row in detail panel — src/detail.jsx:424-425 reads item.views

The real history pipeline (src/api/history.js, src/api/normalize.js) never populates these, so on the deployed tool they silently don't render. Code looks complete; UX behavior is dead.

Expected

Either:

• Populate from real APIs:
  • views: monthly pageviews from the Pageviews API
  • usedOn: count from prop=globalusage per file
  • featured: cross-check against Category:Featured_pictures_on_Wikimedia_Commons
• Or remove the dead affordances + sample-only fields if not planned for v1.
