style(about): redesign /about as numbered "Liner Notes" editorial spine

Replace Home-cloned section grammar with a numbered left rail (Bodoni
numerals, vertical spine, mono marginalia), an asymmetric content column,
and SVG waveform dividers. Adds a degrade-safe IntersectionObserver interop.
Copy verbatim.

/* About.razor scoped styles.
/* About.razor scoped styles — "The Liner Notes".
The About page is built entirely in the Home page's visual language. Those section
primitives (.hero-*, .section, .section-divider, .section-dark, .section-split,
.medium-*, .cta-*, .feature-*) live SCOPED in Home.razor.css and DeepDrftHero.razor.css
— they are not in the global stylesheet, so Blazor CSS isolation will not share them
with this component. The primitives are therefore re-declared here, verbatim from those
sources, so About renders identically without touching Home's rendering surface. The only
genuinely new styling is the two bio-card pieces (.bio-*) at the end. */
This page diverges from Home by composition, not vocabulary. The backbone is a
persistent left RAIL (a continuous vertical hairline carrying oversized Bodoni
movement numerals + mono marginalia) with the content column offset asymmetrically
to its right. Movement boundaries are rendered as a hand-authored SVG waveform
stroke (the D3 motif folded in). Palette tokens, type stack, the dark Process band,
the feature-card grid, the CTA, and the bw↔colour ParallaxImage crossfade are all
reused from the site's existing vocabulary — only the structure is new.
Home's borrowed primitives that this redesign supersedes (.section-divider /
.divider-line centred rules, the symmetric .section-header-grid 4/8 split, the
.medium-card grid, .section-split) are intentionally NOT re-declared here. */
