Research direction

Start in hub-client at the DocumentProfile values used by the revealjs preview updates, and trace how diffs trigger rerendering. Add coverage for editing or removing title-block fields such as Author or Date; done means the preview updates without a reload, including the reset behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From our slack,

Minor bug but if I edit yml title block stuff that shows up in a revealjs presentation (like Author or Date) the preview doesnt reflect removing those until you reload it.

I think this is because that information is retrieved from DocumentProfile and it doesn't show up in our diffs.

We should have a mechanism for testing changes in the DocumentProfile values, and resetting the entire rendering if those change. This will break concurrent block editing, but I think we need to live with that limitation for the time being.
