Fable UI review items 10-16 + design-consult tweaks. Editor-chrome only (no toHtml change). Scopes dashed guides to real droppables + Show Guides toggle; layers panel type-icons/indent/hover-sync (solid accent, decoupled from guides); topbar radius unification + icon-only Code/Preview w/ tooltips; pages panel neutral zones + outline Landing badge w/ home icon; templates modal hover; default header no dead links; context-menu icons. Two runtime bugs caught via Playwright (setNodeEvent stripped, tooltip offscreen) fixed. 572 tests.

Item 10: dashed canvas "guide" outlines were applied via blanket tag
selectors (div/section/header/...), so a finished section showed 3-4
nested dashed boxes. RenderNode.tsx (the <Editor onRender> override) now
tags each Craft.js droppable container's real DOM node with a
`data-craft-node` attribute (node.data.isCanvas, excluding ROOT), and
editor.css's guide rules target that attribute instead — a component's own
internal wrapper markup is no longer mistaken for a drop target. Added a
"Show guides" topbar toggle (default ON, persisted to localStorage),
state lifted in EditorShell.tsx (mirrors how `device` is already lifted),
flips `.guides-off` on Canvas.tsx's `.canvas-device-frame`.

Item 12: Layers panel rows get per-type FA icons (keyed off the same
craft.displayName used for the row label, seeded from BlocksPanel's
choices), indent-guide lines connecting nested rows, and row hover
highlights the matching canvas element (`data-layer-hovered`, written
directly to the node's DOM via `query.node(id).get().dom` — NOT via
`actions.setNodeEvent`, which is stripped from useEditor()'s public
`actions` at runtime, not just in its TS type, and threw when called).

Along the way, Craft.js's own connect() was found to already wire mouse
hover to the same `hovered` node event internally (previously invisible
because the matching CSS was dead) — RenderNode now also mirrors that
onto `data-craft-hovered` for a real-mouse-hover canvas highlight, and
both hover attributes plus the guide attribute are suppressed under
`.guides-off` so the toggle stays airtight.

Item 13: unified the topbar to one button radius (`.topbar-btn` 20px pill
-> var(--radius-md)), demoted Code/Preview to icon-only with
`data-tooltip`. Fixed a latent bug the new tooltips exposed: `[data-tooltip]`
tooltips render above their trigger, but the topbar has no room above it
(`body { overflow: hidden }`) — added a `.topbar` override to render
those below instead.

Header/Footer zone rows switched from a loud amber zoneButtonStyle to a
compact neutral zoneRowStyle in the same surface language as the page
list (accent border/bg only when active, matching the page list's own
"currently open" treatment). The "Appears on all pages" subtitle moved to
a tooltip; a fa-pencil hint fades in on row hover (`.zone-row-pencil` CSS
already shipped in the previous commit) and swaps to a check icon while
editing that zone.

The "LANDING" badge (loud amber uppercase + house icon) is now a small
outline badge — muted text, 1px border, no fill, no icon.

The page-row rename button's raw `&#9998;` HTML entity is now an FA
`fa-pencil` icon with `data-tooltip`/`aria-label`; the delete button
(already FA fa-trash) got the same tooltip/aria treatment for
consistency. Both dropped their native `title` in favor of `data-tooltip`
to avoid a double tooltip.

Close button (already an FA fa-times icon-button) gains a hover
background/color; category pills gain the same hover-background
treatment when not active (they were already at the brief's target 12px
font-size). Template card hover-lift (translateY(-2px) + shadow) was
already implemented — no change needed there.

DEFAULT_HEADER_STATE's Navbar linked Home/About/Services/Contact, but a
brand new site only has a Home page — About/Services/Contact were dead
links on first click. Simplified the default to Home + an inert "Get
Started" CTA (href: '#') rather than seeding placeholder pages nobody
asked for. Updated default-header.test.ts's HTML-export assertions to
match the new default (and assert the removed links are gone).

Every menu item now has an FA icon (previously only "Ask Sitesmith" did,
leaving the rest visually misaligned): Duplicate fa-clone, Copy
fa-files-o, Paste fa-clipboard, Move Up/Down fa-arrow-up/down, Select
Parent fa-level-up, Delete fa-trash (kept its danger-red color). The
clipboard-group / structure-group separator already existed via
dividerAfter — no structural change needed.

- PagesPanel: add fa-home glyph (8px, inherits badge text color) before
  "Landing" text in the landing-page badge, restoring the icon dropped
  in an earlier polish pass.
- editor.css: split [data-craft-hovered] and [data-layer-hovered] into
  distinct rules. Layer-hover now uses a solid 2px accent outline (vs
  the dashed structural guides) and is excluded from the .guides-off
  suppression list, so the Layers-panel hover->canvas locator still
  works when "Show guides" is off. Structural guides/hover
  ([data-craft-node], [data-craft-hovered]) remain correctly gated.
- Canvas.tsx: move the header/footer ZonePreview separator border to a
  .zone-preview-sep class, recolor it from amber
  (rgba(245,158,11,0.3)) to neutral (rgba(148,163,184,0.25)) to match
  the empty-state variant, and gate it on .guides-off via CSS
  descendant selector so it disappears with the rest of the guides.
