Close out Phase 1 stabilization

Mark 17 of 18 Phase 1 tasks as completed (manual validation pass):
- Browser flow verification: validated (32 endpoints, all pass)
- Admin panel layout consistency: audited (all 6 controllers use panel.php)
- Menu/hook registry docs: already documented (menu-registry.md, layout-hook-registry.md)
- Panel.php stabilization: audited (stable, no issues)
- NetMon code cleanup: none found (core is clean)
- Validation error convention: already documented
- Blank.php layout: polished (local assets, hooks) — committed previously
Defer "Add tests" — no test framework exists (Phase 2 candidate)
Update DataTables Current State entry and add Phase 1 closure row
