Add a marketplace watchlist and favorites rail for saved listings #935

Description

@1nonlypiece

📌 Description

Browsers of src/app/marketplace/page.tsx cannot save listings to revisit later; there's no favorites/watchlist concept on MarketplaceCard.

This issue adds a watchlist: a star/save toggle on cards and a 'Saved' rail that surfaces watched listings.

🎯 Requirements and Context

This is a feature / enhancement task for the CommitLabs frontend (Next.js + TypeScript). It must be implemented cleanly, fully typed, accessible, and well tested — and must not regress existing behavior.

  • Add an accessible save/unsave toggle on MarketplaceCard with clear pressed state.
  • Persist watched listing ids (user preferences API or local) and render a Saved rail/section.
  • Reflect saved state consistently across grid, quick-view, and the rail.
  • Handle removed/sold listings in the watchlist gracefully.

🛠️ Suggested Execution

1. Fork the repo and create a branch

git checkout -b feature/marketplace-watchlist

2. Implement the change

  • Primary files to add or modify:
    • src/components/MarketplaceCard.tsx — save toggle.
    • src/app/marketplace/page.tsx — Saved rail.
    • src/components/marketplace/WatchlistRail.tsx — new component.
  • Add focused tests in src/components/marketplace/Watchlist.test.tsx using Jest / Vitest + React Testing Library (happy-dom), covering rendering, interaction, and the edge cases below.
  • Add documentation in docs/MARKETPLACE_WATCHLIST.md describing the feature, props/API, accessibility behavior, and a usage example; cross-link it from the relevant README/docs.
  • Keep the diff small and reviewer-friendly; reuse existing primitives, hooks, and the typed API client instead of duplicating logic.

3. Cover edge cases

  • save/unsave persists
  • sold listing handled in rail
  • state consistent across views
  • toggle accessible pressed state

4. Test and commit

  • Run the suite (e.g. pnpm test / pnpm vitest run) and ensure new lines are covered.
  • Verify keyboard navigation, focus handling, and prefers-reduced-motion where relevant.
