Refactor Topbar - Convert to Modern Hooks

[OpenStaxClaude]

Summary

Phase 1 of Topbar refactoring: Convert from legacy connect() HOC pattern to modern hooks pattern.

This is the first phase of the refactoring proposed in CORE-1456. Roy requested each phase in a separate PR for easier review.

Changes Made

Converted the Topbar component from the legacy react-redux connect() HOC pattern to modern hooks:

• Replaced connect() HOC with useSelector and useDispatch
• Removed Props interface - no longer needed with hooks
• Removed lodash/fp/flow composition - direct dispatch calls instead
• Added JSDoc comments explaining component purpose
• Updated type definitions to work without Props

Code Comparison

Before (connect HOC):

export default connect(
  (state: AppState) => ({
    bookTheme: selectContent.bookTheme(state),
    // ... 8 more props
  }),
  (dispatch: Dispatch) => ({
    clearSearch: flow(clearSearch, dispatch),
    // ... 5 more actions
  })
)(Topbar);

After (hooks):

function Topbar() {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  const bookTheme = useSelector((state: AppState) => selectContent.bookTheme(state));
  // ... direct access to state

  const handleClear = useCallback(() => {
    dispatch(clearSearch());
  }, [dispatch]);
  // ... direct dispatch calls
}

export default Topbar;

Benefits

• ✅ Aligns with 95% of codebase - Only 5 of 83+ components use connect()
• ✅ Simpler, more direct code - No HOC wrapper or flow composition
• ✅ Better performance - Improved tree-shaking and code splitting
• ✅ Easier to understand - Direct dispatch calls vs. composed functions
• ✅ No functional changes - Maintains all existing behavior

Pattern Alignment

This change aligns Topbar with modern components in the codebase like:

• BookBanner.tsx - uses hooks
• Toolbar/index.tsx - uses hooks
• SidebarControl/index.tsx - uses hooks

Next Phases (Future PRs)

• Phase 2: Extract custom hooks (useSearchState, useMobileToolbar, useKeyboardNavigation)
• Phase 3: Extract sub-components (SearchForm, DesktopSearchBar, MobileSearchBar, MobileMenuButton)

Testing

• No functional changes - all existing behavior preserved
• Existing test suite should pass
