+
+Summary: UX loading skeleton system, blog priority sorting, and content/SEO updates
+
+- Added a structured skeleton animation system under `frontend/src/components/ui/skeleton/`.
+- Implemented loading skeleton states across critical data-driven sections, views, and pages to prevent broken/empty first-render layout while context data hydrates.
+- Added search-page skeleton loading state and wired it into `SearchInput` until content context is ready.
+- Updated blog data structure usage with `priority` support and wired priority-based sorting in homepage featured blogs and featured blog view behavior.
+- Added new blog post.
+- Updated sitemap to reflect latest blog route/content updates.
+- Improved SEO and social preview metadata signals (including image/meta refinements).
