## Definitions

### `app.tempomusic.actor.profile`

**Type**: `record`

Customizable profile attributes for a Tempo actor. Stored as a singleton per repository under the literal record key 'self'.

**Key**: `literal:self`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `avatar` | `union` | No | Actor's avatar selection. Open union: currently only catalog-based avatars; future variants (e.g. custom blob upload) may be added without a breaking change. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | Client-declared timestamp when this revision of the profile was authored. NOTE: with the singleton 'self' key, this advances on every edit; it is NOT a ToS-acceptance baseline. AppViews wanting an immutable first-acceptance timestamp must capture it separately. |
| `displayName` | `string` | Yes | User-chosen display name shown in posts, replies and profile views. Bounded in graphemes (visible characters) so the UI can render it predictably; the byte budget is set to 10x the grapheme budget to leave headroom for multi-byte UTF-8 sequences. |

### `app.tempomusic.actor.profile#catalogAvatar`

**Type**: `object`

Reference to an avatar from the curated illustration catalog bundled with Tempo clients. The avatar is composed of (1) a character illustration identified by `id` and (2) a background color identified by `backgroundColor`. Clients resolve both against their local catalog/theme at render time and fall back to defaults when a value is unknown.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | `string` | Yes | Stable catalog identifier (e.g. 'hoodie_jacket'). Lowercase ASCII with underscores; opaque to the protocol. |
| `backgroundColor` | `string` | Yes | Stable identifier of the background color, resolved by the client against the Tempo extended theme palette. `knownValues` is informational; AppViews and clients MUST accept unknown values gracefully so the palette can grow non-breakingly. |
