Note

Low Risk
UI-only styling and string copy tweaks; no changes to data flow, navigation behavior, or business logic.

Overview
Tightens Explore V2 layout/spacing to better match design rhythm: adjusts top/bottom padding and section tails across ExploreScroll, carousels, pill rows, and the header search/browser row.

Updates pill and tile visuals (pill padding/typography, ExplorePill change label weight, larger Sites “Recents/Networks” tiles and logo size) and adds an opt-in TileCarousel compactSectionTail used for Dapps Recents. Also fixes a couple of English strings (typos/wording).

E2E Test Selection:
All 14 changed files are purely UI/styling changes within the TrendingView component plus a minor localization fix in en.json. The changes consist of: spacing/margin/padding adjustments across multiple TrendingView sub-components (ExploreScroll, HorizontalCarousel, PillRow, PillScrollList, PillToggleCardList, SectionHeader, TileCarousel), a new compactSectionTail prop for TileCarousel used in DappsTab, visual adjustments to SiteTileRowItem (tile height, logo size, text variant), simplification of CryptoMoversPillItem (removing network badge overlay), and a typo fix in en.json ("accross" → "across"). No logic, navigation, controller, or data flow changes are present. SmokeWalletPlatform is the appropriate tag as it directly tests the Trending discovery tab functionality including search, browsing content feeds (Predictions, Tokens, Perps, Sites sections), and browser navigation integration - all of which are affected by these visual changes. No other tags are warranted since these changes are isolated to TrendingView UI components.

Performance Test Selection:
The changes are purely cosmetic/spacing adjustments to TrendingView components. While CryptoMoversPillItem was simplified by removing BadgeWrapper/Badge components, this is a minor simplification that would not produce measurable performance differences. No performance-critical paths (data loading, state management, list rendering at scale) were modified.
