Name shown wherever people identify this scout, written however you want it — spaces, capitalization, and acronyms are kept as typed, and two scouts may share one. It does not change the scout's skill name, which stays its identity, so renaming a scout keeps its schedule, run history, notes, memory, and links. At most 200 characters; blank means the scout has no name of its own and is labelled from its skill name instead.

Optional skill name for the scout — its permanent identifier, containing only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Omit it and one is generated from display_name (My APM scout becomes my-apm-scout), with a numeric suffix when that name is taken. Pass it to pick the identifier yourself, or to keep a client written before display names working unchanged. The signals-scout- prefix is optional.

Make this the experiment scanner's variant analysis scout: its runs record a structured comparison of the variants, which the scanner's variants readout shows. Experiment scanners only.
