There are some texts that call adverb clauses subordinate clauses; they
then call adjective clauses relative clauses, but don't put them in the
subordinate category. That has always felt strange to me---but I think
it's just a naming thing and not a disagreement on how things are
functioning.
I agree that this is an adverb clauses modifying the adjective.

Quirk et al call it a that-clause modifying an adjective. I always have
a hard time calling clauses that begin with 'that' adverb clauses, but
then I'm stuck for a name. A friend of mine just calls them subordinate
clauses.

Subject: What kind of clause is this?
What kind of clause is the underlined part below? I think it is an
adverbial clause modifying happy. Is this reasonable? Are there other
reasonable analyses?
The boy was very happy that his mother did not see him being such a pig.
Thanks,
