Subject: [PATCH] fix(posthog): move session recording proxy to middleware for
 large payload support (#3065)

Next.js rewrites can strip request bodies for large payloads (1MB+),
causing 400 errors from CloudFront. PostHog session recordings require
up to 64MB per message. Moving the proxy to middleware ensures proper
body passthrough.
