Profile

Profile is the editor for the public publisher page: display name, short bio, HTTPS links, and avatar. Save keeps a private draft. Publish updates /{locale}/publishers/{account_id}.

It is presentation. It is not a component passport, not author_verified, and not catalog tags.

URLs and who can see them

Projection	URL	Who can see it
Human editor	/{locale}/account/profile	signed-in owner
Machine editor	/{locale}/ai/account/profile	same session
Human preview	/{locale}/account/profile/preview	signed-in owner
Machine preview	/{locale}/ai/account/profile/preview	same session

No session → login. Onboarding pending → onboarding. Visitors never see this editor; they see Publishers after you publish.

Preview is temporary and not saved. It renders the current draft (or empty). It is not a second public URL.

What this screen is for

Use Profile to control what a visitor reads on your publisher page.

Use a component's Edit bio and media for catalog presentation of one object. Use component passport update in the CLI for declared facts. Those three layers must not be mixed.

Profile does not:

• change account_id;
• set author_verified or component_verified;
• publish a component version;
• allow HTML or javascript: links in the bio;
• store more than eight HTTPS links.

What is on the screen

Back link to Account. Title Public profile. Subtitle explains display name, short bio, links, and avatar.

Control	Label	Rules
Avatar	Upload photo	JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 5 MB; square ≥ 512×512 recommended
	Use from GitHub / Use from Google	import from a linked identity
	Remove	drop the published avatar
Display name	Display name	public string
Short bio	Short bio	limited Markdown; too long or unsafe URI is refused
Bio view mode	Plain text / Rendered	editor vs preview of the bio
Links	Label + URL (HTTPS)	up to eight; Add / Remove
Save	Save	private draft
Publish	Publish	updates the public page
Restore currently published data	—	reloads the last published revision into the editor
Preview	Preview	/{locale}/account/profile/preview

Status chips: Published, Draft, Not published. Hint:

Save keeps a private draft. Publish updates the public page.

Bio Markdown allows lists, headings, emoji, tables, links, bold, and code. HTML and unsafe URIs fail with Bio must not contain HTML or unsafe URIs.

Failed save or publish shows a toast. Avatar rejection is separate from draft save: a rejected file is not stored.

Preview page

Banner: Preview — temporary and not saved. Edit public profile returns to the editor. Empty draft: Nothing to preview yet.

Human / Machine: machine profile prints display_name and bio. Machine preview prints the banner and the projection fields.

Matching CLI commands

There is no profile editor in the CLI. Related reads:

ai-stp auth status --json
ai-stp link web --json
ai-stp owner objects --json

link web can print the public publisher URL after you know the account id (copy it from Account). owner objects lists catalog objects; it does not patch the bio.

Passport work stays in the CLI and is a different document:

ai-stp passport developer show --json
ai-stp component passport show --json

Do not paste a profile bio into a passport to “publish it harder”.

Dead-ends

What you see	What it means	What to do
Redirect to login	no session	sign in
Avatar rejected	type, size, or scan	use JPEG/PNG/WebP ≤ 5 MB
Bio is too long	over the limit	shorten
Bio unsafe URI	HTML or javascript:	use HTTPS text links
Could not publish	no draft revision	Save first, then Publish
Preview empty	nothing in the draft	type a name or bio
Public page still old	you Saved but did not Publish	press Publish
Public page 404	privacy flags hide it	Account privacy
Import from GitHub missing	that identity is not linked	link it on Account first

Secrets do not belong in a bio. Tokens in Markdown are still tokens.

Draft versus publish

empty → Save → Draft (private)
Draft → Publish → Published (public publisher page)
Published → edit → Save → Draft ahead of the live page
Published → Restore currently published data → editor matches live

Visitors never see Draft. Preview is your eyes only. Privacy flags can still hide a Published page: then the publisher URL 404s even though the editor says Published. Fix that on Account, not here.

Links: label is human text; URL must be HTTPS. http:// and non-URL strings fail on save. Eight is a hard cap.

Machine profile is display_name and bio of the editable record, which may be the draft. Machine preview is the projection with the unsaved banner. Neither is a passport digest.

Presentation is mutable; versions are not

You can rewrite a bio tomorrow. You cannot rewrite a published X.Y digest. Readers should trust the version page, not the avatar.
