feat: visible RSS link in the footer - #74
Merged

Conversation
The feed was only discoverable by machines, through the <link rel="alternate"> in the head. A reader browsing the site had no way to learn it exists — which is why a follower asked for RSS the site already had. Adds an icon beside GitHub and LinkedIn, following the existing pattern exactly: same box, same border, same sizing, lucide icon. Hover goes to white rather than the RSS orange. The other two icons hover to their brand colour, so orange would follow that logic, but it would also introduce a hue that exists nowhere else in the palette. White keeps the footer inside the current design system. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

One judgement call
Hover goes to white, not the RSS orange. The other two icons hover to their brand colour, so orange would follow that logic — but it would introduce a hue that exists nowhere else in the palette, and the project rule is not to add design tokens without being asked. White keeps the footer inside the current system. Easy to switch if you prefer the orange.
Verification
Build clean, 31 pages. The link renders in the footer of every page — home, /blog, /operators, /contact and report pages — checked outside the
<head>so it counts the visible one, not the autodiscovery tag that already existed.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
