Goal

Make account avatars in collection and table views reliably identify the person and provide direct access to their profile.

Conclusions from the discussion

Clicking an account avatar should open that account’s profile.

Avatar clicks should not implicitly apply a filter: a table can contain several account-valued fields, so the intended field would be ambiguous.

The interaction should make the person recognizable even when their avatar or display name changes. Show the account name in a hover card or tooltip, with a clear link to the profile.

Filtering by an assignee or another account-valued attribute should remain an explicit, field-specific action.

Acceptance criteria

In collection/table results, every account avatar links to the corresponding Seed profile.

Hovering or focusing the avatar reveals enough identity information to recognize the account, including its display name.

Activating an avatar does not modify the current filters.

Keyboard users can focus and activate the profile link.

Any account-based filter control names the attribute being filtered (for example, Assignee = Horacio Herrera).
