-BrowserProfile — named, reusable browser/fetcher configuration.
-
-Storage key
------------
-Profiles are stored in ``settings.application.browser_profiles`` as a plain dict
-keyed by *machine name* — a lowercase, underscore-separated slug derived from the
-human-readable ``name`` field:
-
-    'My Blocking Chrome'        →  'my_blocking_chrome'
-    'Custom CDP — Mobile (375px)' →  'custom_cdp_mobile_375px'
-
-Using the machine name as the key means that deleting a profile and recreating
-it with the same name restores the original key, so all watches that referenced
-it continue to work without any manual re-linking.
-
-Resolution chain
-----------------
-``resolve_browser_profile(watch, datastore)`` walks:
-
-    watch.browser_profile  →  first tag with overrides_watch=True  →
-    settings.application.browser_profile  →  built-in fallback
-
-It never raises.  Stale / missing machine-name references are logged and the
-resolver falls through to the next level.
-
-Built-in profiles
------------------
-``BUILTIN_REQUESTS`` and ``BUILTIN_BROWSER`` are always available and cannot be
-deleted from the UI (``is_builtin=True``).  Their machine names are stored in
-``RESERVED_MACHINE_NAMES`` to block user profiles from shadowing them.
-
-Migration
----------
-``store/updates.py::update_31`` converts the legacy ``fetch_backend`` field on
-watches, tags and global settings into ``browser_profile`` machine-name
-references.  After that migration no legacy paths are needed here.

-        machine-name system.
-
-        What this migration does
-        ------------------------
-        1. ``settings.requests.extra_browsers`` entries are converted into
-           ``BrowserProfile`` objects and stored in
-           ``settings.application.browser_profiles`` keyed by machine name.
-
-        2. ``settings.application.fetch_backend`` (the system-wide default) is
-           translated to a machine name and written to
-           ``settings.application.browser_profile``.
-
-        3. Every watch that has an explicit ``fetch_backend`` (not ``'system'``)
-           gets a corresponding ``browser_profile`` machine name set, then
-           ``fetch_backend`` is reset to ``'system'``.
-
-        4. The same translation is applied to tags with ``overrides_watch=True``
-           that carry an explicit ``fetch_backend``.
-
-        Legacy mapping
-        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-        * ``'html_requests'``        → built-in ``'direct_http_requests'``
-        * ``'html_webdriver'``       → built-in ``'browser_chromeplaywright'``
-        * ``'extra_browser_<name>'`` → machine name of the migrated custom profile
-        * ``'system'`` / missing     → ``None``  (continue to use chain resolution)
-
-        Safe to re-run: skips watches / tags that already have ``browser_profile``
-        set, and skips extra_browser entries that have already been migrated.
