test(sveta): Write API test verifying badge names in profile JSON response

Outcome: done
Changed: tests/api/profile/search.py:277-316 (new test function added)
Verified by: python3 -m py_compile → exit 0 for both tests/api/profile/search.py and devplacepy/schemas/content.py
Findings:
  - test_profile_badges_json_has_non_null_names at tests/api/profile/search.py:277 creates a user, awards "First Post" and "Member" badges via award_badge(), requests GET /profile/{username} with Accept: application/json, and asserts every badge has a non-null string name.
  - The test covers all acceptance criteria: requests JSON endpoint, asserts badges list is present, asserts every badge has a non-null name field, name is a string, and name is non-empty.
  - BadgeOut.name at devplacepy/schemas/content.py:66 maps DB column badge_name via Field(alias="badge_name") with populate_by_name=True on the model config, so badge_name from the DB correctly populates the name field in JSON responses.
  - Full suite (make test) cannot run in this environment due to missing dataset module (Python 3.11.2, pre-existing limitation).
  - No existing test behavior was modified — only new test lines added at the end of the file.
Open: Full suite validation (make test) requires an environment where the project's Python >=3.12 dependency is satisfied and dataset is installed.
Confidence: high — test structurally correct, compiles cleanly, follows all project patterns, and the data flow (DB badge_name column → BadgeOut.name alias → JSON response) is verified end-to-end through code inspect
