+👤 Avatar opens your profile
+- The green user avatar in the mobile header now opens your public profile.
+- The small chevron beside it opens the account menu (status, add account,
+  wallet, settings, logout) — the avatar itself is no longer a menu trigger.
+- Removed the redundant “IN” label so the brand and header controls fit on
+  narrow phones.
+- The SkateSpots brand mark still goes to the map.

 🧭 Simpler mobile navigation
 - The bottom bar is now exactly five intents: Spots, The Lab, Events, Crews
   and More. Profile/login moved to the header avatar, where it already lived.
