Created 3 responsive display units in the AdSense portal (pub-5278231299883833)
via portal-driver and set them as the banner-zone slot defaults:
  top    → 1009806200  (AND Top Leaderboard)
  mid    → 5567646667  (AND Mid Banner)
  bottom → 5129014617  (AND Bottom Banner)

Slot IDs are public (they render in the page ad code), so they live as constant
defaults; env AD_SLOT_TOP/MID/BOTTOM still override. Ads serve only on the
approved live domain, not localhost.
