The loader collects every fail-fast defect and honors per-open skips

Phase 1 of the decision surface (01 ▸ Malformed input, settled
2026-07-31): BoardLoadFailure aggregates the walk's defects in walk
order — stop-at-first retires. Environmental failures (unreadable root,
not-a-directory) stay immediate single-defect throws: there is no walk
to collect from. A defective root index is recorded and the walk
continues into the children (nothing in the walk consults the parsed
root document — verified); a defective lane, card, or trash-entry index
records and skips its subtree, Re-check's whole-walk re-aggregation
being the designed loop for what hides beneath. load(skipping:) is the
per-open skip channel: a skipped path's item is omitted from the model
and surfaces as LoadWarning.userSkipped; root paths are unskippable by
construction. The reload-breakage banner carries the aggregate ("…and
N more"), single-defect sentences byte-identical to before. Two new
multi-defect fixture boards; suite 2591 green.

/// ### What collecting means at each level
///
/// - **Environmental failures stay immediate.** An unreadable root, and a root that is a file

/// and so nothing to aggregate *with*. The surface would show one row either way.
/// - **The root's own `index.md` defects are collected and the walk continues** a missing
/// index, unparseable YAML, a missing or malformed `schema`, a `schema` newer than this app.
/// Nothing below the root reads the root's document: lanes are enumerated by folder shape,
/// `.trash/` is reached by name, and the noise gate is its own file. So a board whose root is
/// broken *and* whose lanes are broken reports both in one pass, which is what lets the
/// surface state every class at once instead of revealing the next one per repair.
/// - **A below-root defect skips that item's subtree.** A lane whose `index.md` will not parse
/// is recorded and its cards are never enumerated; a card's defect takes that card out. This is
/// the designed loop rather than a gap: Repair and Open and Re-check both "re-run the whole
/// walk", so a repaired lane re-aggregates with whatever it was hiding, in the *same* surface.
///
/// Defect order is walk order the root first, then lanes in folder-name order with each lane's
/// cards inside it, then `.trash/` so `BoardLoadFailure.primary` is the first thing the walk
/// met and a grouped surface reads top-down like the tree does.
///
/// - Parameter skipping: **the skip channel** (01-storage-format.md § Malformed input: "Skip is
/// user-consented tolerance, loudly marked per-open decisions, never persisted"). Defect
/// *paths* the same root-relative strings `BoardLoadError.path` carries, e.g.

/// collected and its item leaves the model with its whole subtree, exactly the shape the

/// the opened board's notice is written from. Nothing persists: the set arrives from one open's
/// surface and dies with the call.
