Description

### Problem

I think this might be something in the internals of infobase.

e.g https://openlibrary.org/books/OL49205391M/The_great_modern_American_stories used to have author data in the table of contents when it was first added via tocky. But it has since disappeared, despite no edits causing its disappearance! More investigation needed.

Maybe the new fields must be added to https://openlibrary.org/type/toc_item in order to be correctly persisted during some infobase internal process?
