fix: branding.agent.js has the same stale footers.yml path bug fixed in header-footer.js #3453

Problem

scripts/agents/branding.agent.js reads footer config from .github/automation/footers.yml:

// Line 16 (doc comment) and line 22
const configPath = path.join(process.cwd(), ".github/automation/footers.yml");

This is the exact same bug fixed in scripts/agents/includes/header-footer.js by #3446 — the real file was moved to .github/footers.yml in commit 4d2d449b19 (Dec 2025, confirmed via git log --all -- .github/automation/footers.yml, shows a pure rename). branding.agent.js was never updated to match.

Current status: dead code, so no runtime impact yet

Verified via GitHub code search — no workflow YAML in .github/workflows/ references branding.agent.js. It's not wired into any active automation. Fixing the path costs nothing risky, but is worth doing so this doesn't resurface as a live bug if/when this script gets wired up later.

Also: scripts/agents/includes/README.md's dependency table is stale

The "Available Utilities" table claims footerUtils.js is "Used By: meta.agent.js" — it isn't. meta.agent.js imports from header-footer.js. See #3454 for footerUtils.js itself.

Fix

Same one-line change as #3446: .github/automation/footers.yml → .github/footers.yml.
