Description
The featured section behaves inconsistently depending on whether a user arrives with filters in the URL or applies them after landing:
| Scenario | Featured |
|---|---|
Land on /blog/ clean, then apply any filter |
stays visible |
Land on /blog/?topics=ai, then clear the filter |
stays hidden |
Featured visibility is decided once at page load and never updates when filters change. It should track the filter state in real time — visible when no filters are active, hidden when any are.
Surfaced while reviewing #178.

Research direction
Start at the /blog/ entry point and trace how the featured section and URL filters are initialized and updated during a session. Reproduce both scenarios from the issue, then verify that the section is visible with no active filters and hidden whenever any filter is active, including after clearing a filter.
