Scope

Add a public GET /community-guidelines route named community-guidelines.
Add a dedicated Blade page using the existing Terms of Service and Privacy Policy two-column site layout, including light and dark styling.
Add a Community Guidelines footer link beside Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Include an inviting purpose statement tailored to a video-game tracking community.
Include concise, plain-language sections covering respectful conduct, content standards, account and platform integrity, reporting, and enforcement.
Prohibit harassment, hate speech, threats, discrimination, targeted abuse, illegal or explicit material, violent or deceptive content, spam, copyright infringement, privacy violations, impersonation, manipulation, fraud, automation abuse, and enforcement evasion.
Link members to the existing Contact Us route to report suspected violations, and explain that MyVideoGameList may investigate, remove content, restrict access, or take other proportionate enforcement action.
Link to Terms of Service and support, and display a Last Updated date.

Acceptance Criteria

Guests and authenticated users can load the named Community Guidelines route successfully.
The page has exactly one Community Guidelines heading and all required policy sections.
The page includes a visible Last Updated date and working Terms of Service and Contact Us links.
The page uses the established Terms/Privacy content-and-sidebar layout and supports both light and dark mode.
The footer exposes a working Community Guidelines link beside Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
The policy text is original and concise; it is informed by the listed references but does not copy their text.
Reporting uses the existing support contact route and does not depend on a separate moderation workflow.

Add focused Pest feature coverage following the existing Terms of Service and Privacy Policy page-test patterns.
Test guest and authenticated access to community-guidelines.
Test the route name, primary heading, required section headings, Last Updated text, and Terms/Support links.
