## Definitions

### `app.zeens.chatPrefs`

**Type**: `record`

A user's chat privacy preference: who may start a conversation with them. This is a public policy flag (not message content), so storing it in a public repo is fine. One record per user (rkey 'self'). The server-side gate and the AppView indexer both enforce it. Carries the app.zeens.v marker.

**Key**: `literal:self`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `allow` | `string` | Yes | off = no one can message. mutuals = only people you both follow. everyone = anyone, but a first message from a non-mutual lands in Requests until you reply. |
| `app.zeens.v` | `integer` | Yes | Zeens version marker (always 1). |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | When this preference was last set. |
