TEMPLATE KIT: Meta-chrome for the pod-leader Template Library (Projects → Templates)
COMPOSES: Zone markers | Guidance sidebar | Frame | Auth-state ribbon

Scaffolding classes that wrap page templates so pod leaders can see which regions to swap. Zone labels come from the data-slot attribute. None of these classes ship on real product pages — they exist only inside the Template Library.

Placeholder Zone Markers

Three variants: .tpl-slot (label floats above), .tpl-slot-inline (tight offset, no label — for inline elements), .tpl-slot-inset (outline + label inside the box — for big page regions).

<div class="tpl-slot" data-slot="[HERO SEARCH]">…</div>

Frame, Guidance Sidebar & State Ribbon

Frame: .tpl-frame lays out [.tpl-page | .tpl-guidance]. The ribbon (.tpl-state-ribbon-loggedin/-loggedout) pins top-right of the frame.
