Subject: [PATCH] Add flag to hide requests search bar

Add HIDE_REQUESTS_SEARCH_BAR env variable (default false) to .env.example and expose it via app.hide_requests_search_bar (boolean) in config/app.php. Update the requests index view to conditionally hide the Requests page search bar and associated filter chips while keeping table column filters available.
