Decision page: plain-language raises, IMPECCABLE'S PICK, sticky footer, short-viewport fit

- The raise block drops the side-tab left border for a quiet patina panel,
  and drops the poker jargon: "Improved by Impeccable's worlds" with
  per-line "From <world>" donors, on single raises too; tooltip, aria, and
  screen-reader copy follow
- The pick-card kicker convention renames MY PICK to IMPECCABLE'S PICK at
  every definition site, so users stop reading "my" as themselves
- The footer (steer, registers, canon exit) is a sticky full-bleed bar on
  wide viewports, sharing one --page-inset with the content column; portrait
  keeps it in flow where the deck scrolls internally
- Short landscape viewports compact the headline and narrow the cards so a
  full round fits 1440x800
