Great.

As a general rule, if you are changing files in star/private you are probably making a mistake.  In this case you should be able to do what you want using run_star_extras.   To add to the history, modify the routines how_many_extra_history_columns and data_for_extra_history_columns.  To add to profiles, modify how_many_extra_profile_columns and data_for_extra_profile_columns.
