Norma IG cadence: fresh-source via Boost API (fixes clean-product pool exhaustion)

Root cause: findProduct sourced only 10 candidates/keyword from suggest.json;
as everPosted grew, narrow-keyword pools exhausted -> 'no clean product … all reused'.
Fix pages the Boost SF-filter search API (50/page, thousands available) for the SAME
keyword, applying the IDENTICAL leak/no-image guard to every candidate + suggest.json
fallback. Widens the guard-gated pool WITHOUT loosening the private-label guard.
DTD 7/9 Option C, Cody-scoped. TK-10588.
