 - **The clipboard** — ⌘X/⌘C/⌘V move cards *and* lanes, within a board and across boards, so structure transfers without a mouse. It's a hybrid: the pasteboard carries a small manifest plus the titles as plain text, while the real content — whole folders, attachments and strays and all — is snapshotted into Application Support the instant you press ⌘C, so a copy captures the item as it was at that moment and survives the original being deleted, its volume unmounting, or the app quitting and relaunching. The store keeps exactly one snapshot: every copy and every launch sweeps whatever the pasteboard no longer points at. If a snapshot has gone missing by the time you paste, the manifest still carries each item's full `index.md`, so the paste lands with its content intact — and says so out loud, naming exactly what was left behind ("Pasted 'Fix login' without its 2 attachments") rather than leaving you to find an empty `attachments/` later. Cut is Finder-style deferred: the items dim in place and stay put until a paste moves them, voiding if another app takes the pasteboard or the source board closes (the paste then quietly becomes a copy), and voiding *per item* if one is deleted in the meantime — so a paste moves whatever survived, and a cut emptied down to nothing simply does nothing. Paste lands after the anchor card, at a selected lane's bottom, or at the last member of a multi-selection in flatten order — the same anchor ⌘N uses — and a lane payload lands after the anchor lane or at the board's right end, which is one of the two ways out of a board with no lanes at all. Copies keep `created` and take fresh identities throughout; a lane carries exactly its cards, copied or moved, because the trash is board-level and there is nothing lane-nested to strip; pasting a lane back into its own board is the within-board duplicate the drag deliberately doesn't offer. The clipboard works on trash cards like on any card — ⌘C yields a live copy wherever you paste it, and ⌘X in the trash followed by ⌘V is the keyboard-native restore, a card into a lane and a trashed lane row after the anchor lane — while paste never targets the trash itself, and the read-only lock blocks cut without ever blocking copy, because copying out is a read.
 
-- **Styling** — one style editor serves every anchor: a background grid of the twelve palette wells behind a leading None well that *removes* the key, and a curated grid of five dozen kanban-relevant SF Symbols behind a leading level-default well that does the same. It is selection-aware (the selected cards or lanes; the board with nothing selected) and states the current value per dimension across the whole target set — agreement selects a well, disagreement reads "—", and a hand-written hex or uncurated symbol states itself verbatim outside the grids, replaced by any well you choose. A batch applies as one bracketed commit that skips every target already carrying the value, and the open editor tracks its targets live: one deleted out from under it leaves the set, and the last one closes the editor rather than quietly retargeting the board. Reached from Board ▸ Style… (⌥⌘S) or a card's or lane's context menu, where a compact row of app-wide recent colours recolours in one click and a lane's menu also carries its width stepper. Colour renders at all three levels — a card's `background` as a left-edge stripe, a lane's as a full-width band along its top edge, the board's as the window's content background — each painting nothing at all when the value doesn't resolve, bytes on disk untouched. **A board can also wear a picture.** `background` is a mapping at every level — `{color: fern}` on a card or a lane — and a board's may name an image beside its colour: `background: {color: "#112233", image: art/sunset.jpg}` paints that image over that colour, scaled to fill, across the **whole window**: the content runs under a transparent title bar with a frosted strip keeping the toolbar and the board-name widget legible on top of it. The path is relative to the board folder, so the picture travels with the document when it is copied, zipped or synced (an absolute path, or one climbing out of the folder, simply paints nothing). Either half may stand alone, the colour shows through while a large photograph decodes off the main thread, and replacing the file in Finder swaps the backdrop live. The board popover's Background tab can also *generate* the picture: a faceted triangle-mesh recipe filtered by tone (defaulting to the current appearance), color count (mono, complementary duo, contrasting trio), mesh density and saturation, previewed across an eight-hue carousel whose Reroll button re-mints the geometry — clicking a swatch renders it at full resolution into the board folder as `facets.png` and points `background` at it, with the recipe's primary color written beside it as the fallback underlay. Generated or dragged in, a background is always static pixels — the raw file stays the escape hatch — and a board with no background of its own keeps the standard window chrome exactly as before.

Solid color filters by tone (defaulting to the current appearance) and saturation, and clicking a flat swatch writes that color and clears the image; Pattern adds color-count (mono, complementary duo, contrasting trio) and mesh-density filters over live previews of a faceted triangle-mesh recipe, with a Reroll button re-minting the geometry — clicking a swatch renders it at full resolution into the board folder as `facets.png` and points `background` at it, with the recipe's primary color written beside it as the fallback underlay. Preset or dragged in, a background is always static pixels — the raw file stays the escape hatch — and a board with no background of its own keeps the standard window chrome exactly as before.
 
 - **The trash** — deleting a card **moves** it: its folder travels into the board's reserved `.trash/`, always landing at the top, and View ▸ Show Trash reveals a trailing column where those cards live. A trashed card is an ordinary card in a special place — the same card face, the same colour stripe, the same attachments chip, the same search, the same selection, the same clipboard — so `.trash/` is self-describing in Finder and to agents, and there is no tombstone flag anywhere. **Lanes delete into the trash too**: the folder travels subtree-intact and shows as one distinct dimmed row carrying its title and held-card count — an opaque unit that never expands, whose cards aren't individually addressable, and which restores whole or purges whole (its confirmation counting the cards it would take with it). The column takes exactly one width unit while shown, so showing it re-divides the window rather than resizing it, and its newest-first order falls out of ordinary ranks with no timestamp sort. There is no Put Back: restore by dragging a card out into any lane at any position, or ⌘X in the trash and ⌘V into a lane — both are ordinary moves, so a restored card lands where you put it. Drop a live card on the column to delete it — the pointer's twin of ⌫, writing the identical move, and its shadow always takes the top row because that is genuinely where the card lands. Delete is one vocabulary staged by place: ⌫/⌘⌫ moves a board card to the trash and deletes a trash card permanently, and ⇧⌘⌫ Empty Trash… purges the whole container — each confirmed where the loss is real, named by count, and Empty Trash always covers the whole trash, never just what a filter is showing. Nothing edit-shaped — Open, Rename, Style…, Finder file drops — applies to a trash selection, and a selection never mixes trashed with live.

 - **Raw source** — View ▸ Raw Source (⌥⌘E) swaps the card window's whole content area — title, body and sidebar — for the literal `index.md` in a monospaced editor with Cancel and Apply. It's the escape hatch that keeps everything reachable in-app: unknown keys an agent added, hand-written comments, exotic YAML the app has no control for. Entering flushes whatever you were typing and then reads the file fresh off disk, never an in-memory copy. Apply validates through the very same fail-fast parse the loader uses — a broken proposal stops with a detailed alert naming the line, source mode stays open with your text, and the file on disk is untouched — and a valid one is written byte for byte, the only write in the app that neither stamps `modified` nor clears a `modified-by` you typed or kept, because you wrote those bytes and nothing may quietly edit them. The reload then refreshes every window. Escape is Cancel, ⌘↩ is Apply, ⌥⌘E toggled off applies too, Return just types; Cancel and closing the window discard without ceremony, and a card deleted out from under an open buffer discards it rather than letting a stale Apply undelete the card. ⌘E stands down while source mode is up, ⌘F still finds, and ⌘Z is the editor's own undo. A file that isn't valid UTF-8 declines to open as source rather than showing you a lossy guess of it.
 
-- **The board popover** — a quiet chevron beside the window title (File ▸ Board Info, ⌘I, which toggles it) opens the board's one configuration surface. Renaming edits the board's frontmatter `title` and nothing else — the folder is never renamed, so the app's display name and the Finder document name are free to diverge — and clearing the field removes the key entirely, dropping the window title back to the folder name rather than to "Untitled"; the edit commits on Return and on click-away, Escape abandons it, and an unchanged title writes nothing at all. Below it the popover is tabbed — Info with the board's vital statistics, Background carrying the board-aimed style editor and the generated-background picker, and Git; on an ordinary free-tier board the popover ends there, and only a board carrying a `.git` gets a closing note — "This board has a git history. Lanework Pro works with it." Under a Lanework Pro subscription that slot becomes the board's git section instead, and it follows the board's mode: a board with no repository offers **Add Git**, a board that lives inside somebody else's repository gets a short honest explanation rather than a hidden or greyed-out action, and a git board carries the branch surface: the current branch with switching and create-and-switch beside it, the plain-language explanation when an outside-the-app merge or rebase has the git surface paused, and the commit-identity name and email fields that write the repository's own `.git/config`. The read-only lock disables the surface without closing it.

 - **Customizable toolbars** — both windows carry a real macOS toolbar: right-click ▸ Customize Toolbar…, drag to rearrange, the system overflow, and the Icon and Text / Icon Only / Text Only display options, with your arrangement remembered across launches. They are pure enhancement — every item is a menu command with a shortcut, so removing all of them costs you nothing but a click. The board ships with the search field alone, trailing, and offers New Card, New Lane, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Undo, Redo and Show Trash in the palette (Undo and Redo validate exactly as the Edit menu's rows do, and keep static labels because the menu's titles rewrite themselves); the board popover deliberately has no item, since the window-title chevron is its home. Take the search field out and ⌘F still summons search — the field appears in a strip just under the title bar and stays until the search clears, keeping the keyboard while you type. The card window ships Edit Body · Raw Source · Add Attachment, the first two as toggles showing their on-state, with Edit Body disabling while raw source is up and Add Attachment live in every mode.
