ConnorYoh b9a7f2083b Portal: realign home hero to the simplified marketing card (#6956)
## What

Reworks the free-tier home hero (`WelcomeBanner` + `SetupChecklist`) to
match marketing's reworked top card: a compact product header over
numbered getting-started steps, dropping the marketing chrome.

## Changes

- **Compact dark header:** brand mark + "PDF Editor" + social-proof
stats (`30M downloads · 60+ PDF operations · Free forever`) + a single
**Open in browser** CTA (→ `EDITOR_URL`).
- **Dropped** the decorative editor mock, marketing
title/subtitle/"Open-source" badge/perks, the two extra banner buttons,
and the checklist's dismiss/progress/done tracking.
- **Numbered nav steps** (①②③) — each opens its in-app surface:

| # | Step | Goes to | Change |
|---|------|---------|--------|
| ① | Download the editor | `editor` view | was an external
`stirling.com/download` link → now in-app |
| ② | Confirm your policies | `policies` view | live active/recommended
counts retained |
| ③ | Invite teammates | `users` view | **replaces** "Connect your
sources" (sources dropped to match the demo) |

- **Enterprise rung** unchanged (Start Trial / Get Quote → procurement).

## Notes

- **Shared hero** — self-hosted sees it too (per decision).
- **One deliberate deviation from the demo:** the header CTA is blue
(brand primary) rather than the demo's white button. Trivial to flip —
say the word.
- Behaviour change: the hero is now a quick-start (navigational) rather
than a completion checklist — the dismiss control + per-step done chips
are gone to match the demo.
- Supersedes the incremental #6944 ("add Open in browser" 3-button
version) — that can be closed in favour of this.
- Portal `tsc` clean; `unusedTranslations` green (removed orphaned
welcome/onboarding keys, added the new ones).
