iOS OOM-freeze root cause (found via mobile screenrecord 5x): app fetched /api/twil = 36MB/88,319 items on EVERY page load (default filter=twil) and render() built a DOM card for all 88k → browser hit 13GB and crashed the tab, starving the device so photo capture froze. Fix: RENDER_CAP=500 cards max + 'narrow your search' note; defer the 36MB loadTwil() off page-load (lazy on skip/TWIL-chip)
