Summary

Moved the UI footer back to the screen bottom and consolidated the HUD controls (volume slider, mute, help, credits) into the footer alongside the mode badge. This removes the separate HUD controls block earlier in the DOM and places the mode badge + controls together at the bottom of the viewport.

Commit message: "Footer: moved footer back to screen bottom."

What changed

• Modified: index.html
  • Removed the standalone HUD controls block from its previous location.
  • Re-introduced/added a #ui-footer element placed immediately after the main container, containing:
  • #mode-badge (mode/status badge)
  • #hud-controls with #music-volume-slider, #music-toggle-btn, #shaashtra-help-btn, and #hud-credits.
• Diff stats: +14 / -16 (total 30)

Why

• Restore expected layout where the footer and HUD controls are anchored to the bottom of the screen, improving consistency of on-screen controls and grouping mode/status information with control elements.

User-visible effect

• The mode badge and HUD controls now appear together fixed to the bottom area of the app UI instead of being separated. Users should find the music controls and help/credits consistently at the bottom.
