Endpoint Playground
Returns a Raw Story author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `bennitokelty`) or canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `bio`, avatar, social links and the 15 most recent stories, each with title, URL and a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. Older stories are not reachable, and an unknown author returns not-found.
