Description
Currently we render everyone as a Y-bot rather than loading the glb from their profile. We should honour the glb they actually specified.

Research direction
Start by tracing the avatar rendering path and how profile avatar URLs are resolved. Check how the current Y-bot is selected and how GLB assets are loaded, then verify that a profile-specified GLB is rendered instead. Done means remote avatars use their specified GLB rather than always showing the Y-bot.
