+<objective>
+Consolidate the global items catalog header into a compact single-row layout: back button, title, and search bar on one line (desktop) or minimal stacking (mobile). Remove excessive margins and fix the outdated "Dashboard" back link text.
+
+Purpose: The current layout wastes ~22 Tailwind spacing units of vertical space before any content appears, and the back link text is outdated.
+Output: A compact, scannable header for the global items catalog page.

+  <name>Task 1: Consolidate global items header into compact layout</name>
+  <files>src/client/routes/global-items/index.tsx</files>
+  <action>
+Refactor the three separate header sections (back link, title+subtitle, search) into a single compact header:
+
+1. **Replace the back link** with an ArrowLeft icon from lucide-react paired with "Discover" text (since `/` is now the discovery/landing page per Phase 27 restructure). Use a `Link to="/"` with `flex items-center gap-1.5` styling, `text-sm text-gray-500 hover:text-gray-700 transition-colors` to make it more visible than the current tiny gray text.
+
+2. **Consolidate into a two-row compact header:**
+   - Row 1: Back link (left-aligned), stands alone but with minimal margin (`mb-3`)
+   - Row 2: Title and search on the same line using `flex items-center justify-between gap-4 mb-4`:
+     - Left side: `h1` with `text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900` (smaller than current text-2xl). Drop the subtitle paragraph entirely — "Global Gear Catalog" is self-explanatory.
+     - Right side: The search input (keep existing search logic, clear button, debounce). Set `max-w-xs` on wider screens. On mobile, let it wrap below the title using `flex-wrap`.
+
+3. **Reduce outer padding:** Change `py-6` to `py-4` on the container div.
+
+4. **Remove** the separate `mb-6`, `mb-8`, `mb-8` sections — they are replaced by the consolidated header rows above.
+
+5. Keep all existing search state logic (searchInput, debouncedQuery, useEffect debounce) and results rendering unchanged.
+
+Import `ArrowLeft` from `lucide-react` for the back icon.

+- Header occupies minimal vertical space — back link + title/search in ~2 compact rows
+- Back link says "Discover" with ArrowLeft icon and links to /
+- Search bar is inline with title on desktop, wraps on mobile
+- No subtitle paragraph
+- All search functionality unchanged

+- `bun run lint` passes
+- `bun run build` succeeds
+- Visual check: page header is compact with back link, title, and search on minimal lines
+</verification>
+
+<success_criteria>
+The global items catalog page header is compact: back navigation is visible with correct "Discover" label, title and search share a row on desktop, and total vertical space before content is dramatically reduced.
