## Definitions

### `town.chalky.config`

**Type**: `record`

A user's chalky.town configuration, stored once in the author's PDS repo at rkey `self`. Read right after sign-in to route task data — `dataMode` decides whether tasks live in the public PDS repo or in chalky.town's private per-DID store — and to restore theme/preferences across devices. The mode choice is currently sticky once set.

**Key**: `literal:self`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `theme` | `string` | No | Preferred color mode. |
| `autoDone` | `boolean` | No | Mark a task done automatically once all its subtasks complete. |
| `dataMode` | `string` | Yes | Where the author's task records live. `public` = the author's own PDS repo (world-readable). `private` = chalky.town's per-DID private store, exportable on demand. |
| `carryOver` | `boolean` | No | Auto-roll incomplete past tasks onto today on load. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `updatedAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | Last edit; the last-write-wins clock for the config record. |
| `somedayOpen` | `boolean` | No | Whether the Someday drawer is expanded. |
| `sortStrategy` | `string` | No | How each day's tasks are auto-ordered. `none` keeps the manual drag order; `color` groups by the palette order (uncolored last); `completion` floats incomplete tasks up and sinks done ones by finish time; `color-completion` groups by color, then by completion within each group. |
