feat: seal of reliability search page

[Alessandro100]

Summary:

closes #167

Adds filtering by seal of reliability to the feeds search page as well as the logo on the search table. Also implements the guards and access

Expected behavior:

Not logged in / no feature flag access
You can see the filter with a lock on it, when you click it a popover will appear telling you that you do not have access and to login or request access

Logged with access
On the feeds search page you'll be able to search by seal of reliability which will show the elements on the table

Extras

• The seal filter has the same rules as the feature filters in the sense that if 'gtfs' is not included in the search, it will be disabled
• Due to the addition of the seasonal property in the schema, there were changes that needed to be done type-wise to make the build pass

Testing tips:

Go on the feeds search page and test out the feature in a

• logged out state
• logged in with no access
• logged in with access

Pull request overview

Adds “Seal of Reliability” support to the Feeds search experience, including (1) a gated has_seal search filter and (2) a badge/icon on feed rows, aligning the UI with new API fields and endpoints.

Applied review guidance: vercel-react-best-practices (custom).

Changes:

• Extends the feeds search flow to parse/serialize has_seal in the URL, include it in SWR keys, and conditionally send it to the search API based on user entitlement.
• Adds Seal of Reliability rendering in both simple and advanced search tables.
• Introduces a reusable AccessRequiredPopover and a useSealOfReliabilityFilterAccess hook to centralize access logic.

[nitpick]: The seal filter checkbox doesn't unselect after selecting the GBFS or GTFS-RT filters. As the filter is only applicable to GTFS, it should behave the same as the Official filter.

Looks great! I added a non-blocking comment.

@Alessandro100 What account do I need to use to login with Seal access? My own doesn't work atm

[Alessandro100]

@emmambd I just gave your @mobilitydata.org account permission

I +1 David's comment. The actual filter count doesn't seem to make sense (e.g. when I select "GTFS Schedule" on top of "Seal of Reliability" it goes from 1874 to 1873) but I assume that's just because the backfill hasn't happened yet?

The actual workflow and design LGTM!

Let's wait to merge till EOD in case @abigailmbd can add her two cents.

[abigailmbd]

I will be able to take a look now!
Could my account also get access to this?

[Alessandro100]

@emmambd thats strange, when I filter
gtfs -> 4087 results
gtfs + seal -> 1625 results

[abigailmbd]

It looks great, Alessandro!! All the links direct where needed, makes sense to flow through.
I know this PR isn't about the logo, but just flagging having a transparent background so that the white around the seal doesn't in dark mode!
