Yakka's half of a person's profile, layered over app.bsky.actor.profile (ADR 0027 §3). Resolution is per field and lowest-precedence-first: a present field here overrides the same field there, and an absent one never blanks it. This record deliberately does NOT restate displayName, description or avatar — those have a home in the network already, and restating one would mean a name changed in any other atproto client stops showing on yakka. What lives here is what Bluesky has no field for.
