+Search using `GET __API_BASE_URL__/api/memes?q=angry%20cat&pageSize=12`. Matching ignores case and accents and tolerates prefixes and small typos. Every query word must match a caption or assigned tag. Results are ordered by relevance, then newest first. This is lexical fuzzy search, not semantic search.

+Read `GET __API_BASE_URL__/api/tags` for the available tag catalog, then filter with `GET __API_BASE_URL__/api/memes?tag=cats`. Repeat `tag` to require multiple topics, and combine it with `q`. Queries are limited to 200 characters and 20 tag filters; invalid filters return `400`. Pages beyond the last page are clamped, so use `totalPages` to stop pagination.

 Call `GET __API_BASE_URL__/api/memes/{id}` to retrieve one approved meme by its 64-character lowercase hex SHA-256 ID. Pending, rejected, deleted, or unknown memes return `404`.
 
 Use each meme's `url` field to fetch the normalized WebP image. Public image URLs are under `__API_BASE_URL__/media/{id}` and may be cached aggressively by clients.
