Replace navbar/footer social links with icons and clean up footer layout - #322
Conversation
Sourced from Simple Icons (CC0 1.0) to match the existing brand icons already in src/icons/ (bluesky, reddit, hackernews). These back the upcoming navbar/footer icon links.
The plain "YouTube" nav link and the text-only Forums/Recommendations/ Archive/RSS/YouTube/Twitch/GitHub/Privacy/Refunds/Terms footer row were hard to scan. Social/platform links (YouTube, GitHub in the nav; RSS, YouTube, Twitch, GitHub in the footer) now render as icon buttons using the new SVG assets, keeping the remaining footer text links as-is.
The YouTube/GitHub nav icons used the generic icon-button padding, sizing them differently from the fixed 2.25rem search/theme-toggle buttons next to them. Added them to the same fixed-size rule and gave all icon buttons a shared border/color hover effect, since buttons and icon links previously had no hover feedback in common.
With six text nav links plus four icon buttons all in one row, the nav read as too busy. Wrapping search/theme/YouTube/GitHub in their own group with a divider separates page navigation from utility icons visually, without removing anything. Also fixes a mobile-only bug the wrapper exposed: a padding rule for the collapsed menu was overriding the icon buttons' fixed square size.
Split the footer into a link/icon row (site links left, social icons right) with the copyright line below, instead of one stacked block. Footer links are now muted with color+underline only on hover rather than permanently underlined accent-blue text, and the social icons are transparent by default, filling in on hover, for a quieter look.
A repo-only reference (not a website page) so anyone checking where the brand icons, generic UI icons, and self-hosted PT Sans font came from, and under what license, can find it without asking.

The base .icon-button rule sets color: var(--text), so the footer's icon buttons stayed at full text brightness even though the footer links around them are muted. Scoped the muted color to .footer-social so the navbar's icon buttons (which should match the bold nav links) are unaffected, and added an explicit hover override since the muted rule would otherwise tie with and cancel the shared icon-button hover color at equal specificity.
