Git leaves the paywall — the pivot ruling lands in the design corpus

12-editions gains the dated PIVOT note: git integration is tier-independent
— every tier composes the git stack on git-mode boards — because the
base/Pro split is being re-decided and git isn't going to be it. The
subscription machinery stays built and tested but dormant; the free-only
postures (inert .git, the Pro pointer, the absent Git tab) are retired.
What the pivot does not change, recorded in 12 and 13: git stays opt-in
per board — creating a local repository is the user's choice, never
auto-initialized — and boards without app-managed git keep conventional
native undo/redo. 06 rescopes to every tier; 03's Git tab reads its
same-day membership ruling through the pivot (the strip still asks the
posture, it just never hears absent).

 Lanework ships as **one Mac App Store app** — `dev.rzen.indie.Kanban`, free, 2.0 updating the existing record — built from one codebase and one on-disk format, with **Lanework Pro as an auto-renewable subscription** unlocking the git tier. This doc owns the tier axis: what each tier is, how the gate is engineered (the provider seam, the entitlement), and which features land where. Individual docs stay tier-agnostic where they can — they conditionalize on **board mode** (none / git / git+remote — 07-sync-collab.md), and this doc defines which modes each tier ships.
 
+**PIVOT 2026-08-07 — git leaves the paywall.** Git integration — detection, adoption, auto-commit, git-backed undo/history, branches (06-history-undo.md), and remotes/auth when they ship (07-sync-collab.md) — is **tier-independent**: every tier composes the git stack on git-mode boards exactly as Pro did. The base/Pro feature split is being re-decided, and git isn't going to be it. Until the new split is ruled: the subscription **machinery stays built and tested but dormant** — the entitlement's mechanics (local read, composition-time, offline grace, the recorded session tier) are unchanged and correct for whatever the next split gates, but the Settings Pro section is not rendered and no surface names or sells Pro. The free-only git postures are **retired**: the inert-`.git` stance and the popover's Pro pointer describe a gate that no longer exists — a `.git` at a board root is live in every tier, detection runs at every board open, and every board carries the popover's Git tab (the mode-driven postures: no-repository door, repo-nested, unverifiable, branch). What the pivot does **not** change: git stays **opt-in per board** (06 — creating a local repository is the user's deliberate choice, never auto-initialized), and a board without app-managed git binds conventional native undo/redo (13) exactly as before — the provider still follows the board. The sections below describing the git gate (the tier matrix's git rows, the inert posture, no-grandfathering) stand as record of the pre-pivot design and are not restated; read them through this note.

 **Re-ruled 2026-07-30 — the one-app collapse.** This supersedes the 2026-07-27 two-app split (separate base and Pro targets) and the 2026-07-29 App Group ruling that served it. The split's compile-time purity (base never links libgit2, no network entitlement) dragged permanent coexistence machinery behind it: a shared App Group, per-edition grant slots (security-scoped bookmarks never cross sandboxes), registry freshness stamping between two live processes, UTI-ownership twins, a both-apps-installed rulebook — a tax on every layer that generated a steady stream of design findings, all serving a state (two sandboxed apps sharing app-side state) that existed only because the packaging created it. One app makes that state unrepresentable. Costs accepted with eyes open: libgit2 rides dormant in the free download, and the one app declares the network-client entitlement (exercised only under Pro) — the "free app provably has no network access" story is traded for "no network use until you subscribe," which is honest but weaker.
