- Added a new tool "boostlook" to the TOOLS constant in constants.py with its description and URL. - Modified the get_tools function in utils.py to accept an optional version parameter, allowing for dynamic URL generation for version-specific tools. - Updated LibraryListBase and LibraryCategorized views to pass the selected version to get_tools, ensuring correct URL handling in the context data.
- Updated _tool_categorized_list_item.html, _tool_grid_list_item.html, and _tool_vertical_list_item.html to conditionally render tool URLs, allowing for clickable rows and cards. - Simplified the display logic for tool names and descriptions, ensuring consistent styling and behavior across different list formats. - Enhanced accessibility by adding cursor pointer styles for clickable elements.

Have you tested these urls? I would think they should be root-relative, i.e. have a leading slash.
