## Definitions

### `work.nectvia.social.companyfollow`

**Type**: `record`

A declaration by the repo owner that they follow an employer. Keyed on the employer's web domain, because almost no company has an AT Protocol identity and app.bsky.graph.follow requires a subject DID. This matches how work.nectvia.career.position already names an employer (companyName plus an optional companyDomain).

**Key**: `tid`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `companyDomain` | `string` | Yes | Web domain of the employer, e.g. acme.com. REQUIRED: a follow with no domain identifies nothing a reader could resolve, so it is not published at all rather than published ambiguously. |
| `companyName` | `string` | Yes | Name of the employer as it was known when the follow was made. Recorded alongside the domain so the record stays readable if the domain later changes hands. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | Client-declared timestamp when this record was created. A reader comparing this against a domain's ownership history can tell whether the follow predates a change of hands. |
