Subject: [PATCH] fix(kanban): keep '--created-by' default as 'user'
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Out-of-scope behavior change in #23521 — the kanban notifier-routing fix
also flipped the 'kanban create --created-by' default from 'user' to the
active profile name. Revert to keep PR scope focused on the notifier
ownership fix; the profile-aware author default can be its own change.
