Subject: [PATCH] feat(browser): expand taxonomy keyword coverage for BBQ and
 regional subcategories

Top-level category keywords were too narrow, missing common food.com corpus terms
like 'barbecue', 'smoky', 'charcoal'. Subcategory terms also expanded to cover
broader corpus vocabulary so FTS counts register hits across more recipes.
