What

• No loading screen. The hotline appeal ("Every child deserves a safe way home.") was also the loading state, so every load flashed it before the child appeared.
  • Now it's hidden unless there's nothing to show: NCMEC unreachable, no open cases for the filter, or no JS (via <noscript>).
  • While loading, only the masthead and hotline band show, and the child fades in.
• Faster first content. The page count is remembered per filter in localStorage.
  • Later loads fetch one random page directly: one request instead of two.
  • Only the count is stored, never a case.
  • If the count has shrunk, or the request fails, it falls back to the page-1 path.
• Band pinned to the last row (grid-row: 3). Without this, the band flowed into the empty middle row while loading.

Verification

• Typecheck, lint, 35 tests and the build pass with Bun 1.3.14.
• Rendered in Chrome:
  • mid-load: masthead and band only, no appeal;
  • loaded: at 1920x1080, 1080x1920, 800x480, 480x800 and 900x1100, every QR code decodes to the UTM-tagged poster URL;
  • second load in the same profile: uses the cached count and shows a child;
  • API unreachable: shows the appeal, landscape and portrait.
