Difference between profile, user and account type authjs

there are multiple objects / callbacks using these types. I am trying to add some user information from discord (userid, bannerUrl etc) to the user object, so I can get them from the session directly. While trying to achieve this, I stumbled over these different objects, that get used. I was not able to find a complete answer on what exactly the difference is and when to use what. Would love some help!

okay, so I found the following
/**
* When `trigger` is `"signIn"` or `"signUp"`, it will be a subset of {@link JWT},
* `name`, `email` and `image` will be included.
*
* Otherwise, it will be the full {@link JWT} for subsequent calls.
*/
token: JWT
/**
* Either the result of the {@link OAuthConfig.profile} or the {@link CredentialsConfig.authorize} callback.
* @note available when `trigger` is `"signIn"` or `"signUp"`.
*
* Resources:
* - [Credentials Provider](https://authjs.dev/reference/core/providers/credentials)
* - [User database model](https://authjs.dev/reference/core/adapters#user)
*/

/**

* Also includes {@link TokenSet}
* @note available when `trigger` is `"signIn"` or `"signUp"`
*/

/**

* (In case of OIDC it will be the decoded ID Token or /userinfo response)
* @note available when `trigger` is `"signIn"`.

profile?: P
