Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no runtime or API behavior impact; low risk aside from potential mismatches with actual field names/semantics if inaccurate.

Overview
Updates the themes/helpers/data/authors.mdx docs by reordering and rewriting the “author attributes” list to better reflect current semantics (e.g., clarifying slug, id, url, and SEO meta_* fields).

Expands the documented author fields to include additional social handles: threads, bluesky, mastodon, tiktok, youtube, instagram, and linkedin, and fixes a missing trailing newline in the file.

Walkthrough

Updated the author attributes documentation in themes/helpers/data/authors.mdx: the "List of author attributes" block was replaced with an expanded and reordered attribute set. The list grew from the original attributes (id, name, slug, bio, website, location, twitter, facebook, profile_image, cover_image, meta_title, meta_description, url) to include slug, id, name, profile_image, cover_image, bio, website, location, facebook, twitter, threads, bluesky, mastodon, tiktok, youtube, instagram, linkedin, meta_title, meta_description, and url. Descriptions were revised to clarify semantics (e.g., URL formats, uniqueness, and social handle semantics). No implementation code changes.

In `@themes/helpers/data/authors.mdx`:
- Line 93: The list item for "slug" uses an asterisk (*) while the other author
property list items use hyphens (-); update the bullet marker for the "slug"
entry to a hyphen so all list markers in themes/helpers/data/authors.mdx are
consistent (replace the `* **slug**` line with `- **slug**`).
