The board wears a picture — background becomes a mapping, and the window chrome follows it under a thin frost

background is {color:, image:} and only a mapping at every level; the board's image paints the full window under a transparent title bar, with a thin-material frost strip keeping the chrome legible and the standard accommodations intact.

 | `tombstones.kanban` | A tombstoned lane and a tombstoned card, both still on disk and still in the snapshot, flagged (`isDeleted`) rather than removed. Also proves a tombstoned lane doesn't recursively flag its own un-deleted children. |
 | `duplicate-order-tie-break.kanban` | Three cards sharing one `order` in one lane, and two lanes sharing one `order` — both broken by folder name, ascending. |
 | `unknown-key-order.kanban` | Unknown/reserved frontmatter keys interleaved with schema-owned ones at board, lane, and card level — `document.unknownFields` must preserve exactly the order they were written in. |
-| `coercion.kanban` | Lenient-field coercion and fallback: wrong-type scalars that coerce (`title: 2048`, `iconColor: 42`, `background: 12345`, `width: "3"`) versus ones with no sensible reading that fall back to the default (`title: [a, b]`, `background: {x: 1}`, `width: 1.5`), plus a `deleted` with an unusable timestamp that still tombstones. |

 | `duplicate-top-level-keys.kanban` | A top-level key written twice — at board, lane (the strict `order` field), and card level. Last occurrence wins; **not** a fail-fast case (settled, newer than the original card text). Round-tripped to prove the earlier occurrence survives on disk, invisible only to reads. |
 | `board-level-deleted.kanban` | A board-level `deleted:` key — legal per the frontmatter table but meaningless; ignored + warned, rest of the board loads normally. |
 | `optional-keys.kanban` | `order` and `schema` optional below the board root (re-ruled 2026-07-31). One lane holds a ranked card plus every order-less shape — no key, an explicit null, `order: banana`, `order: .nan` — which all read as append-at-end in folder-name order; the strip holds a ranked lane, a `schema`-less one, and an order-less one. Also the golden case for the minimum agent card: a card whose whole frontmatter is a title. |
