STAMMBAUM-EXPAND: +-Button prominenter + Mini-Legende (Stammbaum-UX)

Punkt 1 - Expand-Button sichtbar/zuverlaessig:
- 40px solid-fill (war 32px outline), box-shadow, flex-centered;
  deutlich sichtbar auf 190px Karte, touch-tauglich (>=40px Tap-Target).
  Hover/focus-visible: opacity + outline.
- Edge-case (Litter mit null-Eltern): +-Button bleibt sichtbar --
  unbekannt-Karten sind korrektes Feedback fuer quarantaenierte Eltern.

Punkt 2 - Bottom-Hint Mini-Legende:
- stammbaum-hint -> stammbaum-hints ul (flex-wrap, 3 Items):
  Umwurzeln / Name=Akte / +=Nachladen. Gut lesbar auf 390px.
  de.ts: hintName + hintExpand (neue Keys; tapHint bleibt fuer card title).

e2e: +2 Specs x 2 Viewports = 4 neue Tests (Legende + Expand-Klick).
Emil (Gen 4, litterId w-emil) liefert Testanker im Mock-Stammbaum.
