// TikTok friend / who-to-follow suggestions via page-context API.
//
// Replaces legacy DOM-link scraping (`querySelectorAll('a[href*="/@"]')` plus
// fragile text filters that mistook UI labels for handles). We pull the
// suggestion list from `__UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__` first, then
// top up via `/api/recommend/user/` if the warm snapshot is short.
