gitbay v1.31.0 moved the profile about text into <owner>/.gitbay (profile/README.{md,org,markdown}) and removed --about-format and --file from profile set and org profile. The app still sends both on every save, so saving a user or organization profile fails with exit 2:

unknown flag "--about-format"

Affects the shipped 1.2.0 (11). profile show now also returns about_path, which the app does not decode; it guesses about.md or about.org for the renderer.
