What to build

On a stack with devtools, a "Guest" panel inside the TanStack devtools shows the browser's current Guest, masked. It switches the browser to a Demo Guest in one click, or to a secret pasted by hand. After a switch, "My games" and the Game page show that Guest's view at once, without a reload. There is no "Forget" and no "back to my Guest".

Seam: front view, the root route with the app harness and MSW.

Acceptance criteria

The Guest panel is a TanStack devtools plugin, mounted with the Router and Query panels after a 200 probe.
It shows the held Guest masked, and says so when the browser holds none.
It lists "Switch to…" for each Demo Guest from the probe.
"Switch to…" and "Paste a secret" call keepGuest() and invalidate the Query cache, so the next request carries the new x-guest, and My games refetches.
An empty pasted secret is refused.
The panel's copy goes through the Paraglide catalogue (ADR 0025).
