 - **Keyed by file identity, never by path.** Bookmarks track renames and moves on the same volume; an opened URL is matched to its record by bookmark resolution / file identity, so a moved board keeps its settings. The recents list *is* this registry sorted by last-opened.
 - **Recents counts are registry-cached.** The lane/card counts in the welcome window come from the record, stamped at last close — no directory scan at welcome time (which would be slow or hang on big/unavailable boards). Staleness until the next open is accepted. Records that can't be counted show without counts: unavailable boards per Graceful orphaning below; a board that fails to load just fails on open, fail-fast — the welcome row doesn't pre-detect it.
+- **The row's title and icon are registry-cached too — with live write-through** (settled): the record carries the board's `title`, `icon`, and `iconColor` beside the counts, and the welcome row reads only the record — it never opens any board's `index.md` (the same hang-avoidance that motivated the counts rule). Unlike the counts' at-close stamp, these three refresh **whenever an open board's reload changes them**: the store already holds the new snapshot, so an in-app Board rename (03-board-ui.md) lands in the record instantly — never a welcome row showing a name the user just changed away from — and a foreign rename of an *open* board rides the same path for free. The honest residual: renaming a board that isn't open (an agent editing its root `index.md`) stays stale until the next open — accepted, the counts' staleness class. The title falls back to the folder name per 01-storage-format.md, cached at the same moments.
 - **Files-first stays absolute**: nothing app-private is ever written into the board folder — no frontmatter keys, no sidecar files, no xattrs. Two machines sharing a board via a remote each keep their own record (push-on-commit and window frames are genuinely per-machine choices).
 - **Graceful orphaning**: a record whose bookmark no longer resolves (board deleted, or moved across volumes where bookmarks can't follow) is orphaned — recents surface it as unavailable with Forget; its settings are conveniences and die with it (accepted).
 - **App-wide state has the same home.** Not everything app-side is board-scoped: quick-style recents (03-board-ui.md), the SSH host-key assignment table and TOFU fingerprint store (07-sync-collab.md — host-scoped), the last-used card-window size (05-card-window.md), and their peers live beside the registry in Application Support (or `UserDefaults` where a scalar fits) — no per-board record involved. Secrets are the named exception: Keychain only, never here (07).

 ## Card window, welcome, template chooser, popover
 
 - **Card window**: standard controls, standard labels. The attributes sidebar is a labeled container of labeled sections; attachment rows are elements labeled by filename; the Details section's unknown-key rows read as static text ("⟨key⟩, ⟨value⟩"); the bottom actions are ordinary buttons. **Preview renders to the accessibility tree as structured text** — headings navigable by rotor, lists and tables read as such; task-list checkboxes are real accessible checkboxes, toggleable without the pointer (05-card-window.md's live checkboxes); body images use Markdown alt text when present, else the filename. Edit and the raw-source outlet are ordinary accessible text editors; the Preview/Edit toggle (⌘E) announces its state.
-- **Welcome window**: recents rows are elements labeled "⟨name⟩, ⟨location⟩, N lanes, M cards" (registry-cached counts — 02-architecture.md); row actions (Open / Reveal in Finder / Forget) via context menu; unavailable rows say so ("unavailable — board not found").
+- **Welcome window**: recents rows are elements labeled "⟨name⟩, ⟨location⟩, N lanes, M cards" (name, icon, and counts all registry-cached — 02-architecture.md; the row never reads a board's files); row actions (Open / Reveal in Finder / Forget) via context menu; unavailable rows say so ("unavailable — board not found").
 - **Template chooser**: templates are elements labeled by title; the mini per-lane previews are decorative and hidden from the tree.
 - **Board popover**: labeled controls throughout; the ahead/behind indicator's information — counts, queued pushes, last error — must be readable as text, never conveyed by color or shape alone.
 - **Style editor** (card sidebar section, board popover, Style… popover — 03-board-ui.md ▸ Styling ▸ Controls): grids are arrow-navigable, every well Tab-reachable and labeled by name (palette color, symbol name; leading wells "None" / "Default"); the current value is stated by trait, and a batch selection's mixed state reads as "mixed", never conveyed by highlight alone.
