+Every existing Profile frame has the "Author profile" card between Account and Password, in its default state ("Create my author profile"). The card is defined once, in `AppFrame.dc.html`.
+
+### Profile: author profile (group "Profile: author profile", 5 states)
+
+Route: `/profile`. API: POST /v1/author/me · GET /v1/auth/me (author field).
+
+The "Author profile" card sits between Account and Password in every Profile frame, defined once in AppFrame. The existing Profile frames show its default state ("Create my author profile"). All roles can create their own profile and edit their own linked author. Only the states specific to the card are drawn here.

Create one to be credited on your own articles. · Create my author profile · Uses your display name, Marta Alves. You can change it afterwards. |
+| 2 | Error | 500 or network failure. | Couldn't create your author profile · Try again in a moment. |

+| 4 | Created, slug adjusted | The slug was taken, so the server added a number. No error is shown. | Your slug is marta-alves-2 · marta-alves was already used by another author. You can change it in Edit author. |
+| 5 | Edit own author | Edit author on the card, by a role without author rights. The form opens with the linked user locked and no Unlink. There is no delete action in the form or on this screen. | Edit Marta Alves · Linked user · marta@renew.example · This is your author profile. Only an owner or admin can change the link. · Save changes |
