Refine design — raw-source Apply carve-out, watcher scope, lock scope

Resolved on the Redesign board: raw-source Apply preserves a typed
modified-by stamp; FolderWatcher is FSEvents-only best-effort with no
iCloud/network fallback; read-only lock scope enumerated; matching
touch-ups in board-ui, card-window, accessibility docs.

- **BoardWriter** — every mutation (create, move, reorder, tombstone, style) as an explicit filesystem operation. No hidden state; a write is done when the file is on disk.
- **BoardStore** — per-board `@Observable` object holding the current snapshot plus transient UI state that must be shared across that board's windows (selection, drag state, search query, pending cut, the new-card placeholder, trash visibility). Debounces watcher reloads.
- **BoardStoreRegistry** — refcounted registry so a board window and its card windows share one live store and one watcher. **The board window owns the board** (settled): card windows never outlive it — closing the board window closes its card windows too, so the last-window teardown and board-window close coincide. (The refcount still earns its keep ordering teardown while multiple windows close.)
- **FolderWatcher** — FSEvents (debounced). Local boards only; there is no iCloud watching path (iCloud Drive boards are unsupported — see 07-sync-collab.md).
- **FolderWatcher** — FSEvents (debounced), attached best-effort to whatever path the board lives at. There is only this one watching path: no NSMetadataQuery for iCloud Drive, no polling fallback for network volumes — on those warned-against locations (07-sync-collab.md) FSEvents delivery is unreliable and live reload silently degrades, accepted per 07's no-accommodations stance.
- **Ranks** — gapped fractional ordering math + compaction. Pure.
- **DropSlot** — drop-geometry math: hit zones and insertion-position targeting for drags (lane/position within the masonry, cross-board, Finder file drops). Pure, like Ranks.
- **AgentGuide** — writes/upgrades the board-root `CLAUDE.md` (see 08-agent-integration.md).

- **A failed reload never replaces a good snapshot.** Fail-fast (01-storage-format.md) is the *initial-load* contract, where there is nothing to fall back on. Once a board is open, a watcher-triggered reload that fails (unparseable YAML, missing required fields — typically a non-atomic external write caught mid-flight) keeps the last good snapshot on screen and raises a **non-modal banner** carrying fail-fast's specifics (offending path + what's wrong). The watcher keeps watching; the next successful reload clears the banner automatically — transient breakage self-heals without the user losing the board, persistent breakage stays loudly visible. Editing is not locked out: writes go through the Writer as usual (the breakage is per-file and localized), and the reload debounce already absorbs most momentary invalid states before they surface.
- **App-initiated git churn is bracketed.** Operations the app runs itself (pull-rebase, branch switch, undo restore — 06-history-undo.md, 07-sync-collab.md) suspend watcher reloads for their duration and finish with one full reload — half-checked-out trees are never rendered. External git activity (the user running git in a terminal) can't be bracketed: the debounce coalesces its churn, and a transiently inconsistent but parseable tree may render briefly and heals on the next event — accepted.
- **Selection survives reloads by UUID.** Selection — and every transient state that references items (drag state, pending cut, the search filter's result set) — is a set of UUIDs over the snapshot, re-resolved when a reload swaps it: items still present stay selected; items that vanished leave the selection silently, no substitute invented — the search filter's hidden-cards-leave-the-selection rule (04-interactions.md) applied to external change. Kin rules elsewhere: card windows dismiss when their card is deleted (05-card-window.md), the placeholder is discarded when its lane vanishes (above), and VoiceOver announces a vanished focused card and recovers focus to its lane (10-accessibility.md). App-mediated deletion is deliberately different — an act, not a surprise: ⌫ selects the successor sibling (04-interactions.md ▸ The map).
- **A failed reload after a bracketed operation locks the board read-only** — the exception to "editing is not locked out" above. Ordinary watcher breakage is per-file: the snapshot still describes the tree, so editing around the broken file is safe. But a bracketed git operation changed the tree *wholesale*: if its final reload fails, the last-good snapshot on screen describes the pre-operation state (after a branch switch, a different branch entirely — 06-history-undo.md), and writes derived from it would land nonsense on the new tree. The banner carries the same fail-fast specifics plus the read-only state; the next successful reload (typically after the offending file is fixed) clears both.
