A friendly first-run / profile-switch surface: "Who's exploring today?" — pick an existing device-local profile or create a new one with a name and a generated avatar.

Avatar generator: a small, fully self-contained SVG emblem generator — a colour + a Christian-friendly emblem (star, fish/ichthys, dove, lamb, sun, heart), shuffled; no external assets, works offline. Optionally seed from the name.

Ties into Core: the local-first profiles model already exists in $lib/state (BoscoStore profiles). This is the UI for it, so each sibling gets their own desktop / album / typing + arcade progress. Reachable from a profile chip in the menu bar.

Prototyped in the interface mockups this session. Part of the v0.2.0 Interface work (the 'named device-local profiles' surface).
