Guests (anonymous users on a login-enabled deployment) could open a
policy's setup/detail. Policies are an account feature, so a guest
clicking a policy should be nudged to sign up rather than opening it.
## Behaviour
A guest clicking a policy row — or a collapsed-rail icon — now
**re-summons the existing guest sign-up banner** ("You're using Stirling
PDF as a guest!…") and does **not** open the policy.
- `GuestUserBanner` listens for a `stirling:show-guest-banner` window
event and re-shows (even if previously dismissed; the render guard still
hides it for non-anonymous users).
- The policy sidebar dispatches that event on a guest click (cross-layer
via `CustomEvent`, same pattern as `payg:signupRequired`; a no-op on
builds without the banner).
- `usePolicyGuestBlocked()` gates it: `config.enableLogin === true &&
user.is_anonymous === true`.
- **Login-disabled single-user** deployments have an anonymous local
operator with full access → not gated.
## Verification
- Typecheck clean (proprietary + saas); eslint clean; sidebar tests
pass.
## Note
No dedicated guest unit test — the suite mocks `useAppConfig` at module
scope, and making it per-test controllable needs `vi.hoisted` plumbing
that risked the existing tests. Easy follow-up.
