/* ======================================================================
   Footer visual polish -- layered on top of the base footer rules already
   defined in adc.css (.site-footer, .footer-main, .social-circle, etc).
   This file only adds refinement (brand row, card treatment for the
   institutions grid, icon badges, column dividers, trust badges, hover
   polish); it does not change any link targets or remove any existing
   content beyond what was explicitly asked for.
   Loaded after adc.css/mdc.css so these rules win without needing !important.
