Improve free-tier Home UX and fix paywall pricing card layout.

Show free users how many AI job search replies remain under the Home chat
input (hidden for Pro). Replace generic “All premium features” bullets with
concrete Pro benefits on every plan card. Fix paywall layout so long feature
lists no longer stretch cards off-screen: pin the footer (Continue with free
plan, Restore, legal links), scroll the card area, and cap each card’s feature
list with an internal scroll view and wrapping labels.
