Research direction
The issue requests replacing a hard coded email text in src/ data/footer.yml line 59 with a liquid reference `{{site.email}}`. First, locate the footer.yml file in the repository. Then, edit line 59 to use the variable instead of the hard coded string. Ensure that the `site.email` variable is defined in the site's configuration file. The change is localized and should only affect that single line. No other modifications are needed.
