Zones are named, configurable placement areas. Instead of hardcoding section names in templates, zones let you define dimensions, fill priority, and an AdSense fallback per zone.
Zone fields

|---|---|
| Name | Human-readable label |
| Slug | Used in shortcode: [oads zone="slug"] |
| Max Width / Height | Informational dimensions constraint |
| Fill Priority | direct (sold ads) → house (promotional) → remnant (fallback) |
| AdSense Fallback Code | Shown when no direct ad fills the zone |
