Show author profile pictures in feed + boards (not just initials)#508
Merged
Conversation
TestFlight feedback (6/16): "profile pictures do not appear in some areas." Avatars are stored as absolute URLs, but the board/feed post mappers never carried the author's image through to the UI, so every post and reply author rendered as initials. Thread profileImage end to end: - PersonSummary gains an optional `image` - boardPostToMessage (feed + center/event boards) and authorFromUser (own optimistic posts) populate it from the author's profileImage - the four author Avatar render sites (PostThread post + reply, FeedPostCard, ThreadPanel) pass `image` so the photo shows with the initials fallback intact Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
From Abhiram's 6/16 TestFlight feedback: "profile pictures do not appear in some areas." Avatars are stored as absolute URLs, but the board/feed post mappers dropped the author's image — so every post/reply author rendered as initials only in the feed, center boards, and event boards.
