+/**
+ * Pinch / browser-zoom is blocked INSIDE the canvas breakpoint-frame iframes.
+ *
+ * Regression: `AdminZoomGuard` runs only on the parent admin document, but
+ * wheel / Safari `gesture*` events fire inside each frame's OWN iframe document
+ * and never cross the boundary. Without an in-frame guard, pinch-zooming over a
+ * breakpoint frame (e.g. while hovering its toolbar buttons) zoomed the whole
+ * admin page. `IframeFrameSurface` now installs the guard in every frame doc.
+ *
+ * The `gesturestart` / `gesturechange` / multi-touch assertions are the
+ * decisive ones: the design frame's pre-existing wheel forwarder already
+ * cancels every `wheel` event (to drive canvas pan), but it never touched the
+ * gesture/touch events — those are blocked solely by the new guard.
