docs(kanvas): correct three Designer UI descriptions

[hiyach28]

Fixes #1267

Three statements in the Designer docs no longer match the product. Each was checked against the current UI (v1.0.70 signed in, and the same chrome signed out on kanvas.new), not inferred.

1. Layout control location

kanvas/designer/layout-and-layers

The layout control sits in the toolbar at the bottom of the canvas, beside the zoom controls

The layout control is a round button in the bottom-left corner of the canvas. The zoom controls are in the bottom-right corner, where they expand into fit-to-screen, full-screen and zoom. They are not adjacent, and neither sits in the dock. The product's own onboarding callouts point to them separately: "select a layout for your design" to the bottom-left, "fit-to-screen, full-screen, zoom" to the bottom-right.

2. Layers button

kanvas/designer/layout-and-layers

Open it from the Layers button in the dock, or from the Layers action in the toolbar.

The dock contains selection, components, Kubernetes, shapes, comment, image, text, section, annotation and help tools. There is no Layers button in it. Layers is in the toolbar above the canvas, beside Comments, Actions and Share. The dock is identical signed in and signed out, so this is not a session difference.

3. Save indicator icon

kanvas/designer/saving-designs

Cloud with an arrow, plus "Saving..."

While a save is in flight the indicator is a pair of circling arrows beside the design name. The saved state is a cloud with a tick, which the table already described correctly, so the opening sentence now says "indicator" rather than "cloud icon" to cover both states.

Muse Code review: docs(kanvas) UI-description corrections look correct and internally consistent. Verified against current master: both touched files still carry the old wording (so the PR is not stale or already applied), no other page in content/en/kanvas reuses the old phrasings, and sibling docs support the new text.

What I checked:

• content/en/kanvas/designer/layout-and-layers/index.md:16 — new "bottom-left corner … zoom controls … bottom-right" matches the existing figcaption at line 31 ("Open the control near the bottom-left of the canvas"). Consistent.
• content/en/kanvas/designer/layout-and-layers/index.md:40 — removing "Layers button in the dock" is supported by other Designer docs: canvas-objects, whiteboarding, and pin-model-to-dock describe dock contents (components, Kubernetes, shapes, section, textbox, whiteboarding tools) with no Layers button mentioned anywhere else. The only "Layers button" reference in content/en/kanvas is this line.
• content/en/kanvas/designer/saving-designs/index.md:16,21 — generalizing "cloud icon" to "indicator" aligns with lines 24 and 26, which already say "the indicator". Good.
• CI is green (build, triage, CodeRabbit, DCO pass) and GitHub reports the PR mergeable.

One inconsistency the PR introduces (actionable):

1. content/en/kanvas/designer/saving-designs/index.md:30 — the autosave figure caption still says "the cloud indicator reads Saving…" while the table now says the in-flight state is circling arrows, not a cloud. Suggest updating the caption to match the generalized wording:

  <figcaption>Anonymous capture (Sep 2026): the save indicator reads <strong>Saving…</strong> while the design syncs. Notification toasts from a recent Validate may also appear in this view.</figcaption>

Nits (optional, pre-existing):

• The table uses straight quotes and three periods ("Saving...") while the caption/alt text use the ellipsis character (Saving…). Normalizing to one style across the page would be a nice touch but is out of scope for this fix.
• New sentence "The zoom controls sit at the opposite corner, bottom-right." reads slightly redundantly; "The zoom controls sit in the opposite corner (bottom-right)." would flow better, but current text is clear enough.

Caveat: I could not independently verify the live Kanvas UI (v1.0.70 / kanvas.new); this review is based on internal consistency with the repo's own docs and screenshots, which all point in the direction of this PR. Nothing here blocks merging — the caption fix above is the only change I'd suggest, and it can be a follow-up.

I will follow up on the suggested caption change.
