How This Page Works
The page fetches active products for the category, loads the cached category ranking, applies the selected intent rule, and renders the surviving shortlist with the shared monetization components.
No LLM decides which product is first. The product intelligence layer owns ranking order, tier labels, and the comparison shortlist.
