App-side state crosses editions through a shared App Group — homed there from day one

Ruled 2026-07-29: every edition declares group.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban, and the board registry plus its Application Support peers home in the group container from base 2.0 onward — no migration, no ordering dependency, and the entitlement ships in base's first build since base ships first. A paying upgrader launches Pro onto their full recents. Stated caveat: security-scoped bookmarks never cross sandboxes, so the list transfers while access re-grants per board — per-edition grant slots on the shared record, open panel pre-anchored at the recorded path. Teams joins the same team-scoped group later with zero ceremony. Clipboard staging store stays put pending the both-editions-installed clipboard ruling.

Board: Gap card a925e530 → Resolved; Implementation card a647aba2 filed atop Backlog (before-base-ships constraint).

## Distribution (settled)
Separate Mac App Store apps — real Xcode targets, not an IAP unlock. Both editions declare the same `.kanban` package UTI (`dev.rzen.indie.kanban-board`) verbatim, so any board opens in either app; the format is one format, owned by 01-storage-format.md, with no edition-specific keys. Upgrade path is buying the other app; boards need no migration whatsoever (files are the interchange).
Separate Mac App Store apps — real Xcode targets, not an IAP unlock. Both editions declare the same `.kanban` package UTI (`dev.rzen.indie.kanban-board`) verbatim, so any board opens in either app; the format is one format, owned by 01-storage-format.md, with no edition-specific keys. Upgrade path is buying the other app; boards need no migration whatsoever (files are the interchange). **App-side state crosses the boundary through a shared App Group** (ruled 2026-07-29): every edition declares the family group — `group.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban` — and the board registry with its Application Support peers (02-architecture.md ▸ Per-board app state) homes in the group container **from day one**, so there is no migration and no ordering dependency; the entitlement must be in base's entitlements before base 2.0 ships, since base ships first. A paying upgrader launches Pro onto their full recents, frames, and settings — never an empty home screen. The honest caveat, stated: **security-scoped bookmarks never cross apps** (minted per sandbox, App Group or not), so the *list* transfers while *access* re-grants per board — a record another edition minted resolves unavailable-until-reopened, and the first click runs an open panel pre-anchored at the recorded path: one click + Grant per board, once per edition. Teams joins the same group when it arrives — the container is team-scoped, and a future edition's bundle id declares the same group id with zero further ceremony. Secrets stay Keychain-only as ever (07-sync-collab.md — the keychain access group is its own, existing mechanism); whether the clipboard's staging store joins the group container is the cross-edition clipboard question, tracked separately (the both-editions-installed ruling).
