pr/linkedin: anchor stripLinkedIn to the LAST separator-before-LinkedIn (greedy ^(.*)) — self-gate caught that the first-match .* form (in the old code AND my first pass) truncated real 'LinkedIn Marketing Manager'-type titles to just the name. Now the trailing SERP tag is stripped while LinkedIn-as-content is preserved; verified 6 cases
