v2.5.9 — Audit accuracy: ground nav/header/footer + stop hallucinated findings

Fixes inaccurate audit findings (e.g. "navigation is missing a persistent action button")

Root cause. The analyzer judged navigation, header-CTA and footer checks against the page body only (the_content / Elementor page content) — the theme header/nav and footer were never in scope. So the "Sticky CTA in Nav" check scanned HTML that structurally couldn't contain a <nav>/<header> and always defaulted to absent, producing false findings like "the navigation is missing a persistent action button" even when a visible header button exists. The same blind spot understated trust signals that live in the hero.

Grounding. The audit now captures the real site header/nav + footer — no loopback HTTP required:

• Elementor Theme Builder header/footer templates (rendered via Elementor's own API), or
• the primary nav menu (wp_nav_menu) as a cross-theme fallback.

Both the single-page and bulk audit paths feed header + body + footer into structure extraction, while copy text stays body-only. The nav-CTA check has a deterministic pass over the captured header (handles Elementor's nested-span buttons), verified across Elementor / theme / menu / none cases with no over-claiming.

Anti-hallucination guardrails. The analysis prompt now forbids claiming an element is missing (or recommending adding it) without positive evidence from the screenshot or signals; forbids flagging a "missing free/no-cost" reassurance when the CTA text already says "Free"; and requires every suggestion to reference a real on-page element.
