feat(landing): beta "coming soon" CTAs + team credits & SEO

The app is in active development, not yet public — replace the "Launch app"
CTAs with a "Private beta — coming soon" state (nav, hero, and final CTA).

Add a "Built by" section crediting the team, each name linking to their
LinkedIn, plus JSON-LD SoftwareApplication + Person author markup, an author
meta tag, and a canonical link for name/entity SEO.

Team: Karti Tripathi, Ramis Hasanli, Yahya Alhinai, Shakthi Bachala.
