Unblocks policyengine-app-v2#1179, which registers this dashboard at policyengine.org/uk/free-childcare-reform and currently fails app-zone-shell-audit:

Routes missing the PolicyEngine shell:
  - /uk/free-childcare-reform: top shell nav labels missing: Research, Model, API, Donate

A multizone rewrite proxies this app's own HTML through — it does not inject the parent site shell — so a child that does not render the header and footer itself is served under policyengine.org with no site nav at all. bus-fare-cap shipped exactly this in bus-fare-cap#9.

• dashboard/src/components/PolicyEngineHeader.jsx, PolicyEngineFooter.jsx — the components bus-fare-cap ships, with links pointing at the UK site. Both reference public/assets/logos/policyengine-white.svg, which this repo already had.
• dashboard/app/layout.jsx — wraps {children}. The header is static rather than sticky, so the analysis's own sticky .title-row (z-index: 100) keeps the top of the viewport while scrolling.
• .github/workflows/pull_request.yaml — the existing site-shell step asserted only the title, on the premise that the page was "the analysis and nothing else: no site nav, no brand bar, no footer". That premise is what the audit rejects, so it now asserts the nav labels and footer links as well. A missing shell fails at PR time here rather than in app-v2's nightly production audit.

Verified locally: bun run build passes, all eleven needles in the CI shell step are present in the built HTML, and the rendered page shows the nav above the title row with no overlap.

Not in scope: the Two childcare reforms wording in the metadata title and README reads as two separate policies rather than one two-part reform, and is worth a separate pass.

Pushed 5983ab5 on top of your commit (9902e22) to get this over the line. It unblocks policyengine-app-v2#1181, where the nightly zone-shell audit has failed daily on this route, and every app-v2 PR that touches appZoneRoutes.ts, including the OBBBA slug cutover (policyengine-app-v2#1226).

An independent review flagged two blocking issues, both fixed:

• About → 404. https://www.policyengine.org/uk/about returns 404; the main site's About is only a dropdown. I dropped the link. The shell's required labels are Research/Model/API/Donate, and the footer already links About us.
• Phone overflow. The single-row bar was about 520px wide. It now has tighter gaps and 13px links below sm, and the link row can scroll on its own. Measured in Chromium against a local next start: at 375px the last nav link ends at 350px. At 1440×1000 the audit's own logic finds the brand plus all four labels.

The page still scrolls sideways on phones (scrollWidth 529 at 375px), but that's pre-existing and not from the header. A toggle LABEL in the dashboard causes the identical 529px overflow on production today.

Verified locally: bun run build passes, and the workflow's shell grep passes on .next/server/app/index.html.

Merge audit: all checks pass on head 5983ab5 (gh pr checks exit 0; mergeable, not a draft). An independent Opus 5.5 review (subfleet, task review, tier standard) requested changes on 9902e22: the About link 404'd and the header overflowed on phones. 5983ab5 fixes both, and the re-review (20260929-050513-fcr11-rereview) APPROVED with no blocking findings. Merging to restore the PolicyEngine site shell on policyengine.org/uk/free-childcare-reform. That fixes the nightly zone-shell audit (policyengine-app-v2#1181) and unblocks app-zone route PRs.
