The footer controls and status text currently float over the editor. At some text sizes, document text and the caret remain visible underneath, causing the footer and document content to overlap.

This gives the full-width footer an opaque surface using the active theme background and clips the editor viewport exactly at the footer's top edge. The footer retains a minimum height so its fixed-size controls remain inside the opaque region at the smallest supported desktop text scale.

The save and open controls, status display, word count, theme behavior, text scaling, and search overlay remain unchanged.

Before

footer-before

After

footer-after

Give the status controls their own theme-colored surface and end the
clipped editor viewport at its top edge so document content cannot render
behind the footer.
