Overlay of API Evangelist enhancements. The original definition is never mutated. Two
enhancements: (1) repair the copied info block — the Avatars definition carries the title
"Ready Player Me Assets Avatars API" and the Assets description verbatim, an artifact of the
per-tag split; (2) mark the surface retired, since the public platform was shut down on
2026-01-31 after Netflix's acquisition and api.readyplayer.me is now NXDOMAIN.
