Problem

The GlobalSearch navbar component navigates to /admin/clients?highlight={clientId} when a client or pet result is clicked, but ClientsPage does not read the highlight query param. The user lands on the Clients page with no client selected — they have to manually scroll and click.

Scope

Traced from Paperclip issue GRO-46 (quick-find search for clients and pets).

All the infrastructure is already in place:

  • GlobalSearch component in navbar — debounced /api/search typeahead with mobile-friendly touch targets
  • /api/search backend route — ILIKE queries for clients (name/email/phone) and pets (name/breed)
  • Backend tests

Missing: Clients.tsx does not handle ?highlight={clientId}. After clients load, if the param is set, it should:

  1. Auto-select that client (opening the detail pane and loading pets)
  2. Scroll the client row into view
  3. Clear the param from the URL (replace history)

Acceptance criteria

  • Clicking a client result in GlobalSearch opens that client in the detail pane
  • Clicking a pet result in GlobalSearch opens the owner client in the detail pane
  • No visible flicker or double-load
  • Works on mobile (big touch targets already satisfied by GlobalSearch)
  • Frontend test added
