+fix(platform-objects): ten identity objects declare their record title instead of having `nameField: 'id'` stamped on them (#20059)
+
+Clause-②: no
+
+ADR-0079 resolves a record's title as `nameField`, then `displayNameField`, then a derivation, and an explicit `nameField` takes precedence over the render-only `titleFormat`. Ten identity objects declared a `titleFormat` and no title pointer. The registry's designate-only pass derived `id`, the first title-eligible field on each of them, and stamped `nameField: 'id'`, and a `/meta` read serves that stamp as if it were declared. A renderer that follows ADR-0079's order therefore showed the raw record id as the record page's title.
+
+Nine of them now declare `display_title`, a formula field with `returnType: 'text'` over the columns their `titleFormat` names, and point `nameField` and `displayNameField` at it:
+
+- `sys_account`: `{provider_id} - {account_id}`;
+- `sys_business_unit_member`: `{user_id} in {business_unit_id}`;
+- `sys_invitation`: `Invitation for {email}`;
+- `sys_member`: `{user_id} ({role})`. A row without a role is titled by its user alone;
+- `sys_scim_group_member`: `{scim_user_id} in {group_id}`;
+- `sys_scim_projection_grant`: `{role} → {user_id}`;
+- `sys_team_member`: `{user_id} in {team_id}`;
+- `sys_two_factor`: `Two-factor for {user_id}`;
+- `sys_verification`: `Verification for {identifier}`.
+
+This is the migration the `titleFormat` schema text prescribes: "a composite to a formula field designated as nameField". `sys_scim_subject` has a single-field title (`{user_id}`), so its `nameField` and `displayNameField` name `user_id` directly, as the same text prescribes for a single field.
+
+A formula field is computed when a record is read. It adds no database column, so no schema migration runs. Record reads now carry `display_title` on the nine objects. A formula is evaluated on the stored row, so where a `titleFormat` names a lookup (`user_id`, `team_id`, `business_unit_id`, `group_id`, `scim_user_id`), the formula's text carries the stored id of the related record, not its name.
+
+`titleFormat` stays on all ten objects, unchanged, for renderers that still read it first. `$search` resolution is unchanged: neither a formula field, a lookup nor `id` is ever a search target.

+ * The record title of the ten identity objects that declared a `titleFormat`
+ * and no title pointer (#20059).
+ *
+ * ADR-0079 resolves a record's title as `nameField ?? displayNameField ??
+ * derivation`, and an explicit `nameField` takes precedence over the
+ * render-only `titleFormat`. The registry's materialization seam runs
+ * `provisionPrimary(…, { synthesize: false })` over every base layer, and on
+ * these objects that designate-only pass derived `id` (the first
+ * title-eligible field) and stamped `nameField: 'id'`. A `/meta` read serves
+ * that stamp as if the author had declared it, so a renderer honouring
+ * ADR-0079's order drew the raw record id as the record page's H1.
+ *
+ * The `titleFormat` describe prescribes the migration: a single-field title
+ * moves to `nameField`, a composite becomes a text formula designated as
+ * `nameField`. This file asserts, per object:
+ *
+ *  1. the pointer the designate-only pass leaves on the SERVED body is the
+ *     declared one (`display_title`, or `user_id` for the single-field
+ *     `sys_scim_subject`), never `id`, with the `displayNameField` mirror;
+ *  2. `display_title` is a text formula, so it is title-eligible and has no
