## Definitions

### `ink.branchline.bookmark`

**Type**: `record`

A bookmark the authoring account placed on a bud — a private-intent save pointing at a specific bud in a story. The AppView collapses bookmarks on the same ancestor chain into a single record: re-bookmarking a bud that is an ancestor or descendant of an existing bookmark rewrites the existing record's subject via putRecord rather than creating a second one. Navigation resolves the bookmark to the furthest-read bud on the path containing the subject, falling back to the subject itself.

**Key**: `tid`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `subject` | `ref` → `com.atproto.repo.strongRef` | Yes | Strong ref to the ink.branchline.bud record being bookmarked. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
