// "A Supported Systems Joint" — the maker's plate.
//
// Clockmakers signed the BACKPLATE: the flat brass face of the movement that
// only shows when you open the case. It's the part a repairer sees a century
// later, not the part the owner looks at. A site footer is the same thing —
// the back of the movement — so this is an engraved plate rather than a
// marketing strip, and nothing on it moves. A signature should be quiet.
//
// Shared verbatim with the dashboard's footer (static HTML/CSS port, same
// markup and class names). Styles live in src/styles/brass.css.
