prefix metadata rows with symbolic glyphs rather than natural phrasing

Holds it together

render metadata strictly in two-column tabular rows using monospace text and symbol prefixes
apply neon green underline only to the primary professional identifier and active links
avoid all border-radius or card surfaces, keeping content flush against the pure black canvas
