From framework review (docs/framework_review.md). Two-part fix in resource/Brave.class.php + lib/ImgSearch.class.php:
1. Move URL construction from setQuery() to getData() so setParam('start'/'size') values are applied (currently size defaults to 3 instead of 16, offset is never sent).
2. Remove double urlencode: ImgSearch passes urlencode(word) into Brave::setQuery which urlencodes again → %2520 for spaces. Fix: pass raw word from ImgSearch; engine owns encoding.

P0-1: Moved URL construction from setQuery() to new buildRequest() called from getData() — size/offset now use setParam() values (resource/Brave.class.php). P0-2: Removed urlencode() call from ImgSearch::getImageData() — raw word passed to engine, single encode in Brave (lib/ImgSearch.class.php). Both pass php -l.

[[2026-07-17]] Fri 12:26
P0-1 + P0-2 implemented. Changes to resource/Brave.class.php and lib/ImgSearch.class.php. Both pass php -l. Ready for your commit.
