Response behavior

- `data.name`, `data.bio`, `data.birth_date`, `data.birth_place`, `data.professions`, and `data.known_for` are derived from public IMDb page metadata when present. - `data.bio` is the full biography text. `data.birth_date` and `data.death_date` are `YYYY-MM-DD`, or shorter (`YYYY-MM`, `YYYY`) when IMDb only records part of the date. - `data.known_for` contains the titles IMDb lists the person as known for, with IMDb title IDs, release year and the credit category. - IMDb WAF or robot-verification pages return an upstream error.
