Add live openings-count pill to the Careers footer link - #7
Merged

Conversation
The footer's Careers entry now shows a small pine-tinted pill with the number of open roles, sourced from the same Work at a Startup feed the /careers job board renders so the badge cannot drift from the listings. The count is fetched server-side in BaseLayout (4s timeout) and baked into the HTML, so the pill renders without depending on the visitor's browser reaching workatastartup.com (commonly blocked by content blockers). The Footer then refreshes it client-side to keep statically-built pages current; any failure degrades to no pill. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
