Subject: [PATCH] feat(freelancer-directory): add the trust block (what we do /
 don't)

The keyword work found no trust keyword with demand and none we could answer
without a review/vetting claim, so the trust content ships as a block on the
directory page itself. It folds the old "How this works" section and states
our limits plainly: you deal with the freelancer, we rank nobody, we verify
nothing (declarations tagged '(as declared)'), invitations carry a one-click
opt-out. The contract point links to the note under the listings instead of
copying it. No trust adjective is a claim; no review/rating/star.
