Description

After #131, the actual person with github id "profile" wouldn't be able to go to their profile. Probably we need to detect in-use names with a general mechanism and do some kind of name-resolution mechanism (rename them profile1 or something).

Research direction

Start by reading issue #131 and reproducing the collision where the GitHub id "profile" cannot reach the person's profile. Trace how names are resolved for profile navigation, then define and verify a general collision-resolution behavior, including the proposed fallback such as "profile1".
