Marketing Site Template (ConnectSoft.MarketingSiteTemplate)

Front-end site kernel: a standalone solution template for Blazor Server marketing websites. It does not embed ConnectSoft.BaseTemplate; that repo remains the ASP.NET microservice kernel. Use this template when you need a ConnectSoft-standard marketing site with page packs, SEO, lead capture, and observability defaults aligned with the live ConnectSoft.MarketingSite baseline.
