Your flock ID
First launch greets you with a sign-in screen: continue with Google, then claim a handle. The handle is your public identity in flock: it's how friends add you, how you appear in their sidebar, and how your presence travels. Three characters or more; lowercase letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores.
Settings → Account is home base: your identity card, handle changes (they propagate everywhere), your referral count, GitHub connection status, and sign out. Signing out locks the cockpit until the next sign-in; agents keep running locally.
Referrals: invite friends by email from the Friends tab and flock sends them a proper invite. When someone signs up with an invited address, you're connected automatically and the referral is credited. Your referral count lives in Settings → Account.
