Maximalist footer + monetization-everywhere (reversals)

Reversal 1: Footer = MAXIMALIST mega-sitemap on EVERY app

Earlier (same day): "Footer is DIFFERENT per app (not shared). Each app draws its own footer."

REVERSED 2026-06-22 evening: Every app ships the same maximalist mega-sitemap footer, served from @chirag127/astro-chrome/Footer.astro. Same component, same data (FAMILY_APPS + FAMILY_BOOKS + FAMILY_PACKAGES), same visual treatment.

User mandate verbatim: "I add maximalist footer because many of the approval requires the footer having legal pages and many more."

Footer content

Section	Content
Apps	All 25 apps grouped by category (Hub / Content / Tools / Personal)
Books	All 5 books
Packages	All 22 packages
Legal	Privacy / Terms / Contact / About / Refunds / Disclaimer / Security.txt / Sitemap
Family	Newsletter / Status / Changelog / Sponsors / Feedback
Brand	Oriz wordmark + 1-line bio + © year

Mobile: collapses into accordion sections.

Reversal 2: Monetization on EVERY app

Earlier (rules/ads-allowed-everywhere-except.md): "AdSense + AdMob on every app EXCEPT oriz-cs-me-app (personal site) and oriz-janaushdhi-app (public-health ethics)."

REVERSED 2026-06-22 evening: Every app shows ads + pricing tiers — including janaushdhi (public-health) and cs-me (personal).

User mandate verbatim: "Every app we are making should have proper monetization. It doesn't matter that it is a medical website or something like that, it should have proper monetization. Like just like how you did with the Janoji website that you remove the monetization, it should not be the case. Every app should have the monetization."

What every app shows

Free tier: AdSense web ads + AdMob in AAB (per ads-allowed-everywhere-except formerly-rule, now generalized). Standard ad placements: 1 above-the-fold + 1 inline + 1 sticky footer.
Ad-free tier: Pro or Max subscription removes ads.
Pricing page mounted at /pricing on every app (via @chirag127/astro-billing Pricing component).
Tier 1 Pro: ?99/mo · ?799/yr (no lifetime)
Tier 2 Max: ?299/mo · ?2,499/yr

Specific app updates

App	Old policy	New policy (locked)
`oriz-janaushdhi-app`	NO ads (public-health)	Ads enabled + /pricing mounted
`oriz-cs-me-app`	NO ads (personal)	Ads enabled + /pricing mounted
All other 23 apps	Ads enabled	UNCHANGED — ads enabled

SUPERSEDES

rules/ads-allowed-everywhere-except.md — fully reversed. The "except" carve-out is removed.
decisions/architecture/shared-vs-divergent-matrix.md (Footer row) — footer is now SHARED, not divergent.
