fix(nav): only the most-specific sidebar item is active

On /career/builder/{id} both "Career Workspace" (/career) and "CV Builder"
(/career/builder) highlighted, because AppShell tested each item with
`pathname === to || pathname.startsWith(to + "/")` — so /career matched
every /career/... child. No "most specific wins" rule.

Add AppShell.activeNavTo(pathname, tos): the longest `to` that the path is
at or under wins, across both nav lists; every other item is inactive. A
child route never lights up a parent nav item. `selected` now compares
against that single computed activeTo. Exported as a pure function so the
ownership rule is unit-tested directly (sidebar-active-nav.test.ts):
exactly one active item for /career, /career/builder and
/career/builder/{id}, and no double-highlight.

Also give the breadcrumb/title in App.tsx explicit /career/builder ->
"CV Builder" ownership (it previously showed "Career Workspace"), and
reframe the Career Workspace header to the "Career Profile" product
framing: "This information powers your CVs, applications, cover letters
and AI assistance."

Frontend only — no change to CareerProfiles, CvVariants, CV generation,
extraction APIs, AI, permissions or tenant isolation. Plan for the deeper
information-architecture work is in docs/career-workspace-ux-refactor.md,
staged so the 1376-line CareerProfilePage and the live CV/extraction
pipeline are refactored incrementally with verification, not in one risky
rewrite.

Verified: tsc clean, frontend build clean, 135 frontend tests pass
(128 + 7 new nav tests). Backend untouched.
