WS-2 R3: containers/preamble as background backdrops, tick-N, no false overlap flag

From KC's 2nd review:
- z-order: boundaries, preamble bands and container frames drawn behind; figures,
  responses and parts on top (a figure's description tooltip is no longer blocked
  by the preamble box). Preamble + containers are pointerEvents:none.
- the 'large box around all content' is gone: a container renders as a small
  corner tab (label + total marks), not an enclosing box; intermediate part-groups
  keep a faint dashed nesting frame. Main-question extent is shown by its boundaries.
- MC 'tick N' count (select_n) surfaced next to the option boxes.
- fixed the spurious 'overlapping shapes' review flag on containers (they legitimately
  enclose their children; only genuine partial overlaps between non-containers flag now).
tsc clean; 7/7 model tests pass.
