Owner

The unified bottom-nav refactor adds a fixed top-right <HubPill> for "back to hub" navigation, plus a redundant link inside the profile sheet. A third (gestural) option proposed during planning was a long-press on the bottom-nav profile entry — quick to discover for power users, but invisible to first-time users.

Scope

Wire @vueuse/core's usePointer / useEventListener (already available — no new deps) on <ProfileSheetTrigger> to detect ~500ms long-press and route to the hub URL.
Decide UX: silent navigation, or first show a 200ms preview (e.g. show "Back to hub" tooltip on hover) so the gesture is somewhat self-documenting.

Why now

Filed as a follow-up to the unified bottom-nav plan; not implementing initially because the visible top-right pill is more discoverable and we want to validate that pattern first before adding hidden gestures.

Depends on

The unified app shell being merged.

Acceptance

Long-press on the profile button navigates to the hub root.
Doesn't conflict with normal short-tap (which opens the profile sheet).
Touch + mouse + keyboard accessibility — at minimum, doesn't break keyboard-only users.
