Once profiles are live — update JSON-LD

Add each profile URL to the sameAs arrays in src/pages/index.tsx and src/pages/about.tsx. This tells Google and AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) that the directory profiles and thecareerdoctor.io are the same entity — strengthening AI visibility and local SEO.
