fix(builder): render template header/footer nested content in zone preview + export

TemplateModal's addTemplateComponents() built each template component via
React.createElement(Component, comp.props) without ever passing
comp.children, silently dropping every nested children array authored in
templates/definitions.ts (header/footer Container > Logo/Menu/TextBlock,
page Section > Heading/TextBlock/ButtonLink). The resulting Craft.js node had
nodes: [], so the header/footer zone preview (ZonePreview -> exportBodyHtml)
rendered as an empty strip, and published output was affected the same way.

Fix converts each TemplateComponent to a SerializedTreeNode and reuses
craft-tree.ts's buildNodeTree (sanitize -> flatten -> materialize) -- the
same tested tree pipeline already used for AI-generated content -- instead
of hand-rolling a React-element tree, since a naive nested-children fix via
parseReactElement crashes any component with an internal SHELL_INNER linked
canvas (Section/BackgroundSection/FormContainer) or linked columns
(ColumnLayout). Also fixes two latent bugs in buildNodeTree itself, only
surfaced by exercising it against a real Craft.js editor for the first time:
data.type must be the actual resolved component reference (not a string or
{resolvedName} object) for correct rendering, and the synthesized SHELL_INNER
node needs data.name set for actions.addNodeTree's own validation.

/**
* Converts a template's `TemplateComponent` tree (the plain
* `{ type, props, children? }` shape authored in `templates/definitions.ts`)
* into a `SerializedTreeNode` (the shape `craft-tree.ts`'s `buildNodeTree` /
* `sanitizeAiTree` / `flattenTreeForCraft` pipeline already knows how to
* materialize into a real Craft.js `NodeTree`).
*
* Bug this fixes: `TemplateModal`'s `addTemplateComponents` used to call
* `React.createElement(Component, comp.props)` with no children argument,
* which silently dropped every nested `children` array authored in
* definitions.ts -- e.g. `makeHeader()`'s `Container > Logo + Menu`,
* `makeFooterContent()`'s `Container > TextBlock...`, or a page `Section`
* wrapping a `Heading`/`TextBlock`/`ButtonLink`. The resulting Craft.js node
* ended up with `nodes: []`, so the header/footer zone preview
* (`ZonePreview` in `editor/Canvas.tsx`, via `exportBodyHtml`) -- and the
* same-path published HTML (`handlePublish` composes header/footer HTML
* from the same serialized state) -- rendered as an empty strip instead of
* the real nav/footer/section content.
*
* A follow-up attempt fixed that by building a real nested React element
* tree (`React.createElement(Component, props, ...children)`) and handing
* it to `query.parseReactElement(...).toNodeTree()`. That approach breaks
* for any component with an internal SHELL_INNER-style linked canvas
* (`Section`, `BackgroundSection`, `FormContainer` -- see `SHELL_INNER` in
* `craft-tree.ts`) or linked columns (`ColumnLayout`): `parseReactElement`
* statically walks the JSX tree and has no way to know that e.g. `Section`
* routes its `children` into a nested `<Element id="section-inner" canvas>`
* at render time, not directly under itself. Feeding it raw nested children
* produces a tree where Craft.js has to auto-materialize that linked node on
* first render -- which stores the wrong `type` and crashes with "component
* type (undefined) does not exist in the resolver" the moment the section
* renders (reproduced live: loading the SaaS Landing template crashed the
* whole editor on its "Trusted by 10,000+ development teams" `Section`).
*
* Converting to `SerializedTreeNode` and reusing `buildNodeTree` sidesteps
* both bugs at once: it's the same tree-building pipeline already used (and
* tested) for AI-generated content in `apply-ai-response.ts`, which already
* knows how to route content through SHELL_INNER / linked columns correctly.
