Subject: [PATCH] fix: Add /feed/personal route + lazy neighborhood group
 creation

- Add GET /feed/personal alias for /feed (Flutter uses this endpoint)
- Fix 'Neighborhood unavailable' board bug: GetMyNeighborhood now
  creates the neighborhood group lazily if group_id is NULL in the seed,
  matching the same auto-create logic as the Detect endpoint
