Delete Immediately is removed — permanence is only reachable inside the trash
2026-07-30 findings-resolution ruling (Redesign card d40bfac1): Finder's ⌥⌘⌫ answered disk-space pressure boards don't have, and it was the one gesture reaching unrecoverable straight from the board. The delete vocabulary is now purely staged: board → trash, trash → permanent (confirmed on no-git boards), Empty Trash for bulk. Docs drop the File menu row, both ⌥-alternate context rows, and the VO custom action; code removal rides the session's realign card.

- **Rendering**: trailing (rightmost) position when shown, visually distinct — dimmed/hatched header, trash SF Symbol, count badge; no new-card button; not draggable, not resizable, excluded from lane reordering. Fixed one width unit, consumed only while shown; Show/Hide Trash is a re-divide trigger (Layout above). **Visibility**: hidden by default; View ▸ Show Trash toggles (no default chord — ⇧⌘T belongs to the system's Show Tab Bar, 11-command-nexus.md); per-open transient state, resets to hidden, never persisted. Hidden, the trash is invisible to every gesture and to search; shown, its cards participate in the filter **exactly like any other card** — the point of the pivot.

- **No Put Back** (settled): the valuable item is the card (or lane); where it goes on the way out is the user's cheap decision. Restoring is an ordinary move out: **drag** a trash card into any lane at any position — or a trashed lane row to a lane-strip slot — or **⌘X in the trash, ⌘V** — into a lane for cards, after the anchor lane for a trashed lane (04-interactions.md's lane-paste rule verbatim); the clipboard works on trash items like on any item, which is also the keyboard-native restore path (10-accessibility.md). Dropped on another board it follows the drag locality model (04-interactions.md).
|
||||
- **No editing in the trash**: trash cards don't open — double-click stops at selection; move it out first — and a trashed lane row never expands. Moving a card to the trash dismisses its open card window (05-card-window.md), and an external move-in observed by reload does the same; a lane entering the trash dismisses the open card windows of every card it carries (they entered the trash with it).

- **Permanent deletion**: on a trash selection, **Delete (⌫/⌘⌫) is permanent** — one delete vocabulary, staged by place: on the board it moves to the trash, in the trash it removes the folder. **⌥⌘⌫ Delete Immediately** skips the trash from anywhere. Both **confirm exactly where the loss is real** (carried over): on boards without app-managed git history the alert stands between one keystroke and unrecoverable deletion; on git boards they act immediately (delete-never-forgets). Confirms name the freight honestly — a trashed lane's alert counts its cards ("Permanently delete lane 'Doing' and its 5 cards"). **Empty Trash…** (⇧⌘⌫) confirms everywhere and purges the whole `.trash/`, lane subtrees walked, search-independent, the confirmation naming the full count ("Permanently delete 41 cards", "… 41 cards and 2 lanes containing 9 more cards" — 06-history-undo.md's plural folding); menu validation's "non-empty" reads `.trash/`, not the filtered view.

- **Permanent deletion**: on a trash selection, **Delete (⌫/⌘⌫) is permanent** — one delete vocabulary, staged by place: on the board it moves to the trash, in the trash it removes the folder. **Delete Immediately is deliberately absent** (removed 2026-07-30): Finder's ⌥⌘⌫ answers disk-space pressure boards don't have, and it was the one gesture reaching unrecoverable straight from the board — permanence is only reachable inside the trash, where the staging makes the loss visible. The trash-side Delete **confirms exactly where the loss is real** (carried over): on boards without app-managed git history the alert stands between one keystroke and unrecoverable deletion; on git boards it acts immediately (delete-never-forgets). Confirms name the freight honestly — a trashed lane's alert counts its cards ("Permanently delete lane 'Doing' and its 5 cards"). **Empty Trash…** (⇧⌘⌫) confirms everywhere and purges the whole `.trash/`, lane subtrees walked, search-independent, the confirmation naming the full count ("Permanently delete 41 cards", "… 41 cards and 2 lanes containing 9 more cards" — 06-history-undo.md's plural folding); menu validation's "non-empty" reads `.trash/`, not the filtered view.

- Every trash operation is an ordinary file operation — auto-committed and undoable on git boards; native undo restores a delete-to-trash in-session on any board (a trash move undoes as a move back — durable across relaunch, since it is just a move), while a permanent delete registers no step (13-native-undo.md: the confirm is the safety).
|
||||
- **Naming constraint** (carried over): attachment Remove moves files to the *system* Trash (05-card-window.md); board deletion says "Delete" and this container is "Trash" / "Show Trash" — Finder's "Move to Trash" phrasing stays reserved for the system Trash.
|
||||
- **Materialized reserved lanes are a pattern, not a one-off**: `.trash` is the first; an **archive lane** (`<root>/.archive`, intake criteria to be designed) is the anticipated second (WISHLIST) — same mechanics, ordinary cards in a reserved dot-named container, different entry semantics. Nothing beyond `.trash` is committed yet.
