feat(profile): open profiles on Posts on mobile, About becomes a segment

[nimrodkra]

What

On phones, /<username> now opens on the user's Posts, and About sits beside it as the second segment. The order is Posts · About · Replies · Upvoted, which matches the Squad page (Posts first, About second).

Until now, a phone profile opened on About (highlights, profile activity and so on), and a visitor only saw what the person posted after tapping Posts. We're also moving away from the recruiting-first profile, so About no longer needs to be the landing view.

How

• ProfileSegments: Posts is first and points to /<username>. About points to the new /<username>/about.
• pages/[userId]/index.tsx: on a phone, the Posts segment shows the header, the segments and the author feed. On the About segment it shows everything that used to be there (About me, showcase, stack, share, Highlights, experiences).
• pages/[userId]/about.tsx (new): re-exports the profile page and its ISR getStaticProps/getStaticPaths. The page reads router.pathname to decide which segment is open. The profile SEO defaults already point the canonical at /<username>, so nothing new gets indexed. This is a real page rather than a rewrite on purpose: an afterFiles rewrite of /:userId/about would run before dynamic routes and catch paths like /squads/about.
• components/profile/ProfilePostsFeed.tsx (new): the author feed and its empty states, moved out of posts.tsx so the profile page and /<username>/posts share it.

Tablet and desktop are unchanged: the whole profile still shows, with the inline Activity tabs. The server render is also unchanged (useIsPhone is false there), so crawlers still get the About content.

Checks

• tsc --noEmit (webapp) and eslint on the changed files pass
• shared shell tests and Activity.spec pass
• I haven't checked this on a real phone yet. Please look at the preview on a phone: open a profile (it should land on Posts), switch to About and back, and check the docked segment row while scrolling.
