## Definitions

### `tech.lenooby09.kvcs.channel`

**Type**: `record`

A kvcs channel head record. Holds the human-readable channel name and the hex patch ids that are currently the tips of the channel.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Channel name (e.g. "main"). Capped at 256 chars — kvcs channel labels are short, human-readable identifiers similar to git branch names. |
| `heads` | `array` | Yes | Hex patch ids that are tips of this channel. The 64-item cap is a defensive bound; real-world channels typically have 1-3 tips. |
