Expand description
Character — deterministic nickname, emoji, and color palette per identity.
Each wire identity has a Character derived deterministically from its DID (or any other stable seed). Same DID → same Character forever. Used for:
- Terminal statusline display (
wire whoami --colored) - Visual disambiguation between multiple Claude sessions on the same host
- Future agent-card publication (federation lifecycle)
Character is display layer only. It does not affect protocol semantics, signing, or peer routing — those continue to use the DID. Character is the human-friendly handle the operator sees.
See .planning/research/identity-primitive-survey-2026-05-22.md for the
ecosystem survey that motivated the field naming (persona not soul,
per Letta convention) and lifecycle gating.
