Profile Data API

Scrape GitHub Profile data with one API call. Returns public profile information for a GitHub user — login, name, avatar, bio, follower / following / public-repos counts, and account-creation date — mapped to the unified Author schema. `author.likes_count` surfaces `public_gists` (a creation-count analog); `author.verified` surfaces the rare `site_admin` flag (true only for GitHub staff accounts).
