Use the about/author.png photo on blog covers

[FindMalek]

What

• Blog covers: the round author avatar in the bottom-left of all six cover images (public/blog/*/cover.png) now uses public/about/author.png instead of the ferry photo from public/author.jpg. Nothing else on the covers changed: same 1200×630 size, same position and size (44px circle), and the text and screenshots are untouched.
• siteConfig.images.logo (config/site.ts:13) now points at /about/author.png. Nothing reads it today, but it's the "photo of me" value and new code should pick up the right one.

Not changed

• public/author.jpg stays. It's still card 3 in the About photo stack (config/consts.ts:331, the Üsküdar ferry story), which is a separate photo with its own caption, not an avatar.

How

The original cover generator isn't in the repo, so I patched the avatar directly in each PNG. I cropped a head-and-shoulders square from about/author.png, rendered it as an antialiased circle with the same faint ring, and composited it over the old circle at (86, 552), r = 22.5. I checked every cover at 8× zoom: the new circle fully covers the old one, and there's no halo left on the grid background.

Future covers should use public/about/author.png for the avatar.
