The paper agrees with the code — guide v11, README, DESIGN re-rulings, and the adjudicated sweep

Step 7 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the companions. The agent guide bumps to v11: the Git section teaches repo-resident etiquette alone (stage only your own paths, commit your own changes, leave app-maintained files to the app) — existing boards heal to the new text on next open. README re-anchors: the four git feature bullets out, tiers say the complete Mac experience is free, and one bullet states the format's git-friendliness promise. The changelog drops the never-shipped git entries. DESIGN re-rules: 06 retired with Undo routing migrated to 13 (now the sole substrate's doc, seam kept open), 07 retired as written pending the ops-service workstream, 14 retired as superseded record, 12 carries the second pivot note, the index reflects all of it; the charter gets a pointer note (the anchors' full re-ruling stays with the user). InertGitTests renames to GitAgnosticStorageTests — the excision restores its original claim app-wide. And the sweep: ~70 comment sites across 36 files adjudicated against the keeper list, every present-tense description of the excised machinery made past tense or repointed, keepers untouched. 2,707 tests green.

 **PIVOT 2026-08-07 — git leaves the paywall.** Git integration — detection, adoption, auto-commit, git-backed undo/history, branches (06-history-undo.md), and remotes/auth when they ship (07-sync-collab.md) — is **tier-independent**: every tier composes the git stack on git-mode boards exactly as Pro did. The base/Pro feature split is being re-decided, and git isn't going to be it. Until the new split is ruled: the subscription **machinery stays built and tested but dormant** — the entitlement's mechanics (local read, composition-time, offline grace, the recorded session tier) are unchanged and correct for whatever the next split gates, but the Settings Pro section is not rendered and no surface names or sells Pro. The free-only git postures are **retired**: the inert-`.git` stance and the popover's Pro pointer describe a gate that no longer exists — a `.git` at a board root is live in every tier, detection runs at every board open, and every board carries the popover's Git tab (the mode-driven postures: no-repository door, repo-nested, unverifiable, branch). What the pivot does **not** change: git stays **opt-in per board** (06 — creating a local repository is the user's deliberate choice, never auto-initialized), and a board without app-managed git binds conventional native undo/redo (13) exactly as before — the provider still follows the board. The sections below describing the git gate (the tier matrix's git rows, the inert posture, no-grandfathering) stand as record of the pre-pivot design and are not restated; read them through this note.
 
+**PIVOT 2026-08-08 — git excised entirely** (strategy/01-git-excision.md, the second step past the note above): the git stack the first pivot made tier-independent is now removed from the app — engine, UI surfaces, seam bindings, SwiftGitX/libgit2 — with the message engine harvested to `Kanban/Changes/` as the future activity-feed narrator and the pre-excision state tagged `pre-git-excision`. The format's git-friendliness (per-card files, stable UUIDs, byte-fidelity, the seeded `.gitignore`) is the surviving promise, free forever; boards inside user repositories stay first-class and untouched. The tier machinery stays dormant exactly as the first pivot left it; the next split is expected to be "your board beyond your Mac" — the iPhone companion plus the ops-based sync service (the strategy workstream's charter) — and is not ruled by this note. 06 and 14 are retired, 07 is retired as written (06's Undo routing migrated to 13, now the sole substrate's doc); read this doc's git rows, modes, and matrix as record.

 **Re-ruled 2026-07-30 — the one-app collapse.** This supersedes the 2026-07-27 two-app split (separate base and Pro targets) and the 2026-07-29 App Group ruling that served it. The split's compile-time purity (base never links libgit2, no network entitlement) dragged permanent coexistence machinery behind it: a shared App Group, per-edition grant slots (security-scoped bookmarks never cross sandboxes), registry freshness stamping between two live processes, UTI-ownership twins, a both-apps-installed rulebook — a tax on every layer that generated a steady stream of design findings, all serving a state (two sandboxed apps sharing app-side state) that existed only because the packaging created it. One app makes that state unrepresentable. Costs accepted with eyes open: libgit2 rides dormant in the free download, and the one app declares the network-client entitlement (exercised only under Pro) — the "free app provably has no network access" story is traded for "no network use until you subscribe," which is honest but weaker.
