anchor
refThe message the thread was opened from. Absent on a thread opened from scratch. Its space stays where the thread was opened even after the thread moves to another channel, which is what drops the thread's marker out of the old channel without losing the quoted message.
bridged
refWho opened this thread on another service. Honoured only when the community itself wrote the record.
The text channel this thread belongs to. Moving the thread to another channel rewrites this field.
closedAt
string · datetimeWhen the thread was closed. Absent on an open thread. A closed thread still accepts messages, and the next one reopens it.
When the thread was opened.
Who opened the thread.
locked
booleanWhether only members who may manage threads can write in this thread. Absent means unlocked.
The thread's title.
minLength: 1maxLength: 128
visibleToMembers
arrayMembers that may read this thread in addition to visibleToRoles.
A member permitted to read.
visibleToRoles
arrayRoles that may read this thread. Empty or absent means everyone who can read the parent channel can read the thread. A non-empty list makes the thread private: the community declines space credentials for it to anyone outside the list, so it is enforced by the protocol rather than only by a read handler.
A role permitted to read.

-
A thread as the AppView serves it. The thread's identity is its space.
-
A thread beside a text channel. The space key is the thread's identity, and the thread's own configuration is the social.colibri.beta.thread record at key 'self' inside it. That record carries the link to the parent channel and only the community may write it, so a thread cannot claim a channel its community did not put it in.
-
Opens a thread beside a text channel. This creates a space for the thread, then writes the thread's configuration record at key 'self' inside it. The anchor message is referenced rather than copied, so it stays in its author's repo in the channel where it was written.
