## Definitions

### `pub.chive.actor.profileConfig`

**Type**: `record`

How an author's profile page is arranged: which sections appear, in what order, and which collection is featured. Written by the account holder to their own repository.

**Key**: `literal:self`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `sections` | `array` | No | Ordered display sections. Order in this array is the display order. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | When this configuration was first created. |
| `updatedAt` | `string` (datetime) | No | When this configuration was last changed. |
| `profileType` | `string` | No | Broad kind of profile, used to pick sensible default sections. Open-ended: an unknown value is preserved and falls back to the default layout. |
| `featuredCollectionUri` | `string` (at-uri) | No | Collection node pinned to the top of the profile. |

### `pub.chive.actor.profileConfig#section`

**Type**: `object`

One section of the profile layout.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `kind` | `string` | Yes | What the section shows. Open-ended so a section type can be added without invalidating existing records. |
| `label` | `string` | No | Heading shown for the section. Defaults to a label derived from `kind` when absent. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Maximum items to display in this section. |
| `visible` | `boolean` | No | Whether the section is rendered. A hidden section keeps its configuration. |
| `collectionUri` | `string` (at-uri) | No | Collection this section draws from, where the kind supports it. |
