Phase 3 of the decision surface, completing the card (01 ▸ Malformed
input, settled 2026-07-31). An attended open's fail-fast walk transforms
the loading window's content into one aggregated surface — never a
sheet, never a chain: defects grouped by class, each class stated once
with its files listed (Reveal in Finder + Open in Editor per row), a
class-level default preselected, per-item override behind a disclosure.
Only honest choices: YAML and malformed-schema get Editor + Re-check
(Skip below the root); newer-than-app gets Skip alone and blocks the
board at the root; the two root repairs — minted index, schema: 1 stamp
— are defaults. Repair and Open applies fixes in one store-less write
bracket and re-walks: clean proceeds, remainder re-aggregates into the
same surface. Cancel and ⌘W retire to welcome's row; restored opens
never see the surface at all (OpenOrigin rides the PendingOpen carrier).
Skips are per-open consent that rides the session — the store retains
the skip set and every reload passes it — and the opened board posts a
warning-tone notice naming what was left out, each item's Reveal riding
the banner strip's new reveal control. On Pro boards the repair bracket
binds its own EchoLedger, heal-marks everything, and the store adopts it
before the committer starts, so repairs land as one separate commit
authored Lanework Integrity — pinned end to end. Also fixed en route: a
retired loading window left its close interception installed and
returned false from windowShouldClose forever, blocking quit.

The golden-path XCUITest suite, adapted to current rulings where the
card body had gone stale: trash flows follow the materialized-trash
grammar (no Put Back, restore is drag or cut/paste out), git flows are
pro-m1 scope and skipped, and fixtures extend m11's in-container
--ui-test-fixture-board mechanism (the sandbox forbids the card's
--open-board path handoff) with exact-match variant flags: standard
(the three-lane audit board), large (8 lanes x 40 cards for
masonry/reflow), malformed (BoardWriter-built board with one card's
index.md overwritten to unterminated YAML, opened through the ORDINARY
path so the failure is the loader's own).
EndToEndFlowTests: create card/lane, inline rename, coordinate drag
across lanes, cut/paste, undo/redo of a move, delete-to-trash /
show-trash / restore-by-cut-paste / Empty Trash confirm - all asserting
on lane accessibility labels. FailFastLaunchTests: welcome appears, no
board window ever, a welcome row carries the loader's sentence naming
the file; byte-fidelity of the malformed board pinned unconditionally
in KanbanTests plus an identically-refused relaunch. Performance:
launch metric plus explicit wall-clock gates (30s launch / 5s Show
Trash on 320 cards) since XCTest baselines don't travel. Powerbox
panels (template save panel, Duplicate fallback, Open) are documented
as manual in EndToEndVerification.md, not faked.
The smoke test now launches on the standard fixture (it launched bare
before, opening the developer's real boards); README's everyday test
command scopes to -only-testing:KanbanTests.
Suite compiles on both schemes (build-for-testing verified); flows
await a real display + automation permission to execute - run
instructions in KanbanUITests/EndToEndVerification.md. +8 unit tests;
1669 green both schemes.
