Subject: [PATCH] feat: make staff.aethex.tech work as staff section alias

- Add StaffSubdomainRedirect component: when accessed via staff.aethex.tech,
  auto-redirects to /staff prefix so the subdomain serves the right content
- nginx config updated to proxy to aethex-forge (port 5050) instead of
  dead port 5054
