Why

GPL acknowledgement should stay (CLAUDE.md §7.4), but the footer line currently looks like a default Forgejo string. We want it to read intentionally: a small, white-on-charcoal note that konnos is a community distribution of Forgejo.

Scope

Override the footer template (templates/base/footer.tmpl) to show:

konnos is a community distribution of Forgejo. Code under GPL v3+.

Acceptance criteria

Footer renders that line on every authenticated and unauthenticated page.
Forgejo link is hot rose #FF3D7F on hover, white otherwise.
No layout regression on mobile.

Pointers

Upstream template: .cache/forgejo-upstream/templates/base/footer.tmpl
Mount path in our compose: ./forge/templates/base/footer.tmpl:/data/gitea/templates/base/footer.tmpl:ro
See how forge/theme/theme-konnos.css overrides the rest of the brand.

Friendly note: this is one of the first good first issue-tagged tickets on konnos. Take it if you want a small, satisfying win that's visible on every page. Maintainer (flandrien on Matrix) is happy to pair on the template syntax.
