2026-03-20 — Section Page Filter Chips Overhaul

Scope: All /section/... category pages, /statistics/ hub, /tools/ hub.

Changes:

  • Aligned tools hub color scheme with statistics hub (#0063A0 primary, #629E2D secondary).
  • Added count badges to section page chips matching statistics hub pattern.

Why: Improve content discoverability and filter relevance across all hub and section pages.
