Subject: [PATCH] chore: add Meta trademark / non-affiliation disclaimer to
 public footers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Per Meta's brand-use guidance for third-party products, sites that
reference WhatsApp must include a clear non-affiliation disclaimer in
the footer. Adds the standard line:

  "WhatsApp® is a registered trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc.
   Hostinger is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by
   Meta Platforms, Inc."

Placed in:
- src/components/landing/footer.tsx — marketing footer (every public
  landing page).
- src/components/docs/shell.tsx — public docs pages had no footer at
  all; added a slim one carrying the same disclaimer.

Out of scope:
- Authed dashboard pages don't have a footer (full-screen workspace
  layout). The trademark-fair-use risk is concentrated on public
  surfaces — crawlers, visitors who haven't signed up, social shares.
  Skipping the dashboard keeps the workspace layout intact and the
  disclaimer where it does the most work.
