We may need an image field for the author selection. Because otherwise non-ssw people cannot put their image photo

I went to https://app-sswrules-staging-pr-2583.azurewebsites.net/rules/admin#/~/rules/reply-done

Pull request overview

Updates the TinaCMS rule editing experience to make author selection easier by defaulting to Adam Cogan, supporting selection from the SSW employee list, and allowing non-SSW authors with optional custom profile images.

Changes:

• Update the Rule “authors” schema to default to Adam Cogan and add an optional img field for non-SSW author profile images.
• Add custom TinaCMS fields: an SSW-employee searchable author selector and a URL field that becomes read-only for SSW People links.
• Extend Tina GraphQL queries to include the new authors.img field.
