refactor(lib): add manifest registry abstraction and enhance API

- Add manifest-registry.ts as single source of truth for manifest data access
- Eliminate DRY violations across landscape-data.ts and search.ts (90+ lines)
- Enhance revalidation API with category support and GET documentation
- Update PERFORMANCE_AUDIT.md

+### Manifest Registry (New)
+
+**Location:** `src/lib/manifest-registry.ts`
+
+Centrally manages access to all manifest data, eliminating duplicate iteration patterns:
+
+```typescript
+import { getAllManifests, buildManifestPath } from '@/lib/manifest-registry'
+
+// Get all manifests
+const all = getAllManifests()
+
+// Build consistent paths
+const idePath = buildManifestPath('ides', 'cursor') // '/ides/cursor'
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Single source of truth for manifest access
+- Consistent path generation across modules
+- Easy to add new categories

-Current ISR (3600s) is sufficient. For instant updates, implement:
+**Location:** `src/app/api/revalidate/route.ts`
 
-```ts
-// src/app/api/revalidate/route.ts
-import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

-export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
-  const path = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('path')
-  if (path) {
-    revalidatePath(path)
-  }
-  return Response.json({ revalidated: true })
-}
+Enhanced API for manual cache invalidation:
+
+```bash
+# Get usage documentation
+GET /api/revalidate
+
+# Revalidate specific path
+POST /api/revalidate?secret=YOUR_SECRET&path=/ides
+
+# Revalidate category
+POST /api/revalidate?secret=YOUR_SECRET&category=tools
+
+# Revalidate all pages
+POST /api/revalidate?secret=YOUR_SECRET
 ```
 
+**Supported categories:**
+- `ides`, `clis`, `extensions`, `models`, `providers`, `vendors`
+- `tools` (combines ides + clis + extensions)
+- `content` (articles + ai-coding-stack + docs)
+
+### Code Quality Improvements (Jan 6, 2026)
+
+**File:** `src/lib/manifest-registry.ts`
+
+Unified access to manifest data:
+- Eliminated duplicate iteration in `landscape-data.ts` and `search.ts`
+- Centralized path building logic
+- Added functional methods (`forEach`, `map`, `filter`, `reduce`)
+
+**Code Reduction:**
+| File | Reduction | Method |
+|------|-----------|--------|
+| `search.ts` | 18% | Unified category mapping |
