GET /v1/charts/{chart_id}/profile/varna

Scope: charts:read. Which kind of work would feel worth doing — the chart's mix of the four varnas, with each graha's contribution. It describes motivation, not occupation: calibrated on 15 921 recorded births it does not predict a profession (AUC 0.497), so use it to re-rank options, never to filter them. No locale: the answer is numbers and stable ids.
