+### Layout
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ top (optional, full width)                  │
+├──────────────────────────┬──────────────────┤
+│ left (optional / auto)   │ right (optional) │
+├──────────────────────────┴──────────────────┤
+│ bottom (optional, full width)               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+When `left` is null, the left column is built from `copyright_symbol`, `holder`, and year settings.
+
 | Key | Purpose |
 |-----|---------|
-| `holder` | Copyright name |
-| `copyright_symbol` | `(c)` or `©` |
-| `show_year` | Append year |
-| `year` | Fixed year, or `null` for current |
-| `use_i18n` | `data-i18n` for consoles with `i18n.js` |
+| `top` | Full-width line above main row (`null` = hidden) |
+| `left` | Main left text; `null` = auto copyright line |
+| `right` | Main right text (e.g. build id, links) |
+| `bottom` | Full-width line below main row |
+| `holder` | Copyright name (default left) |
+| `copyright_symbol` | `©` (U+00A9) or empty |
+| `show_year` | Append year / range on default left |
+| `year` | Fixed end year, or `null` for current |
+| `year_start` | If set (e.g. `2026`), shows `2026–{current}` |
+| `use_i18n` | `data-i18n` on auto-built left column |
+| `footer_class` | Extra CSS class (always adds `platform-footer`) |
+
+**Per-page override** when rendering:
+
+```php
+platform_render_footer([
+    'right' => 'OTA: staging',
+    'bottom' => 'Internal only',
+]);
+```
 
 **In PHP views:** `<?php platform_render_footer(); ?>` (loaded via each app `bootstrap.php`).
