Search Space container not fully clickable on dashboard #453

Title: Fix: make entire Search Space container clickable on dashboard (#453)

---

This PR resolves Issue #453, where only parts of the Search Space cards on the dashboard were clickable.
The entire card area is now fully interactive, providing a consistent and intuitive user experience.

---

Description

Previously, users could only click specific elements inside a Search Space container — such as the text or image — to navigate to the associated search space.
Clicks on other areas (like the border or empty space) had no effect, leading to inconsistent interaction behavior.

This PR fixes the issue by:

• changing some classNames (css)
• adding css to Link Component

This ensures the full card acts as a single, unified click target, while preserving accessibility and hover effects.

---

Motivation and Context

The change improves UX consistency across the SurfSense dashboard.
It aligns with standard UI expectations — users anticipate that clicking anywhere inside a card triggers the same navigation.

Walkthrough

The dashboard page component is modified to improve space card interactivity by reorganizing padding distribution and styling. Padding is moved from the inner content wrapper to the Link element, and cursor-pointer styling is applied to the Link. The bottom metadata row is also simplified.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dashboard card styling updates surfsense_web/app/dashboard/page.tsx	Adds justify-between to card container layout; moves p-4 padding from inner content wrapper to Link element; reduces inner wrapper padding to p-1; adds cursor-pointer styling to Link; simplifies bottom metadata row by removing flex justify-between layout and consolidating spacing with mt-4.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Single file with straightforward styling adjustments and padding redistribution
• Changes are consistent and focused on improving click target area
• No logic changes, only CSS class reorganization
• Verify that the padding redistribution maintains visual consistency and doesn't break responsive behavior on smaller viewports

Poem

🐰 Hop, hop—the cards are now so right,
Each corner clickable, a pure delight!
No hidden zones or stubborn dead space,
The whole card glows with clickable grace. ✨

Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "Search Space container not fully clickable on dashboard #453" accurately describes the main objective of the changeset. The title is clear, concise, and directly reflects the primary change—making the entire Search Space card clickable on the dashboard. The code changes in page.tsx (adding cursor-pointer styling to the Link and restructuring padding) are consistent with fixing this issue. The title effectively communicates what a teammate would understand from scanning the repository history.
Linked Issues Check	✅ Passed	The pull request addresses the requirements specified in Issue #453 by making the entire Search Space card clickable on the dashboard. The code changes directly implement the suggested fix by moving styling and padding to the Link component and adding cursor-pointer styling, ensuring the full card acts as a single interactive target. The PR description indicates that hover, focus, and accessibility behavior have been preserved, and testing has verified navigation from any card area across different screen sizes. These changes align with the expected behavior of making the entire container clickable while maintaining proper user experience.
Out of Scope Changes Check	✅ Passed	The code changes appear to be within scope of Issue #453. The primary changes—adding cursor-pointer styling directly to the Link component and moving padding from the inner content container to the Link—are necessary to implement the core fix of making the entire card clickable. The additional layout adjustments (justify-between on the card container, adjusting metadata row spacing, and padding modifications from p-4 to p-1) appear to be supporting changes required to properly render and structure the card once the clickable area has been expanded to the full Link wrapper. All modifications are contained to the dashboard page component and serve the stated objective.
