The card's frozen spec recommended Option C (install the agent guide at
board creation); the owner's follow-up comment extended that ruling to a
second axis — embedded guidelines should update whenever a board opens if
the on-disk version is older than Lanework's, which the Mac app already
does via BoardStore.refreshAgentGuide()/runScheduledHeals(). This card
implements both halves.
- BoardWriter.createBoard now calls AgentGuide.install(atBoardRoot:)
right after seedGitignoreIfAbsent, so every board — Mac- or
phone-created, since KanbanMobile.BoardIndexStore.createBoard calls
this same method — is born with a current-version CLAUDE.md, with no
dependency on a later open. Routed through AgentGuide.install itself
rather than a hand-rolled write, so never-downgrade, the
CLAUDE.user.md rescue, squatter displacement, and the EchoLedger
heal-attribution exclusion all carry over unchanged.
- BoardSession (KanbanMobile) gains a private refreshAgentGuideOnce(),
fired once from open() (already idempotent on the .idle phase),
fire-and-forget through the same CoordinatedFileAccess.write bracket
every phone write uses. Deliberately not a heal scheduler — a
one-shot courtesy check at session open, silent on failure (logged,
never surfaced to lastError or a banner), matching AgentGuide's own
"nothing here is a user-facing event" posture. The type's doc comment
now names this one exception while keeping "no heal scheduler" true.
- project.yml: lifted the KanbanMobile target's AgentGuide.swift build
exclusion (dating to the original mobile MVP, "agents work where the
Mac app runs") — both changes above fail to compile on the phone
without it, since the type simply wasn't in that module. Verified
safe: AgentGuide.swift imports only Foundation, and its one upward
dependency touches only EchoLedger's unconditional recording API,
never the #if os(macOS)-gated consumer surfaces.
Tests: KanbanTests/BoardWriterTests.swift gains
createBoardInstallsTheCurrentAgentGuide, calling createBoard directly
and asserting the guide lands at AgentGuide.version immediately — the
card's own Done-when, and also the phone's creation-time coverage since
it's the same call site. KanbanMobileUITests/AgentGuideUITests.swift
covers the open-time refresh itself, the one piece only reachable
end-to-end from a running KanbanMobile process (no mobile unit-test
target exists): the bundle's fixture board already carries no
CLAUDE.md, so tapping into it and polling disk proves the wiring with
no fixture changes needed.

The comment thread renders read-only under the card's body (author line, Markdown body through CardBodyView, read-only paperclip rows), read outside the snapshot and re-read on every walk landing via BoardSession.snapshotGeneration. Add Comment posts through the Mac composer's own draft-then-rename bracket — seeding from the card's single synced draft so a thought started on the Mac finishes here — and each row's context menu opens the same sheet in edit mode. Both commit on their trailing button or not at all: the phone's transactional model, dirty-Cancel confirmation and swipe-dismiss disabled while dirty included. UI-tested end to end with disk assertions.

A second product, not a second edition: dev.rzen.indie.KanbanMobile (iOS 26,
iPhone-only) compiles Kanban/Storage as source files, so a format change that
breaks the phone breaks this build the day it's made. Boards live in
iCloud.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban — named after the Mac bundle id so the Mac app can
adopt the container later without a migration; until then the folder is
"Lanework" in iCloud Drive and the Mac opens boards there through the open
panel.
EchoLedger grows #if os(macOS) gates around its three consumer surfaces
(verdicts/BoardDiff, harvest/HarvestedReceipt, comment retirement/CommentPath)
— the recording side BoardWriter stamps compiles on every platform, and the
gates are the seam a future phone verdict surface lands behind. AgentGuide
stays Mac-only.
The phone's watcher is NSMetadataQuery: BoardIndexStore (one query, package
UTI export makes a .kanban directory one item, equality-gated rescans,
download kicks per pass), BoardSession (materialization sweep before every
fail-fast walk, NSFileCoordinator brackets, perform{} = coordinated write then
awaited reload, ParseMemo threaded), CloudHome (off-main container resolution,
LANEWORK_LOCAL_ROOT DEBUG override for simulator work without an account).
Screens: Boards -> lanes -> cards -> card editor, value-routed by ItemID with
every screen re-reading the live snapshot; leading swipe moves a card via
confirmationDialog, trailing swipe sends it to .trash/; the editor commits
title through the Mac's canonical rename path and body through writeBody, with
drafts that survive reloads; attributes are the three typed style fields
(icon, iconColor, background) — labels is a reserved unknown-field key and
deliberately has no editor. Settings carries IndieBackup (backup root = the
container's Documents, restore rebuild = an index rescan, controller
constructed only once the home resolves).
Arbiter: KanbanMobile green for iOS Simulator, Kanban green for macOS, 3006
unit tests / 517 suites passed (PointerLatencyTests excluded — mid-rework
uncommitted in a parallel session).
