Phase 2 of the decision surface: the pre-snapshot loading state ruled
2026-07-29 (02 § Launch and window lifecycle), built. The board window
appears immediately at its saved frame, titled with the registry
record's cached name, its content a centered spinner behind an
injectable ~200ms grace — no skeletons, and the first snapshot snaps in
place. The tree walk runs off-main via BoardStoreRegistry.acquireOffMain
(per-board single-flight keyed by file identity — concurrent opens of
one root share a walk, restoration of many boards is genuinely
parallel), landing in BoardStore's new designated init(rootURL:loaded:);
the self-walking init survives as a convenience for its ~470 callers.
⌘W during the walk is real: configureWindow split into a loading half
(frame restore, frame tracking, close interception — installed before
the walk) and a store half (toolbar, widget, hideTitle, undo — installed
at the snap), and the walk lives in an explicitly held BoardOpenWalk so
the user's close and SwiftUI's teardown end in one cancel().
Cancellation is discard-on-completion: nil from acquireOffMain means
nothing was built, nothing retained, and no open-now flag was ever set.
Failure keeps today's sequence exactly: record the launch failure,
welcome's row carries it, the window retires.

Board search reaches comment bodies through a search-owned transient
index: the first live-query keystroke sweeps comments/*/index.md
off-actor (.draft and comments/.trash excluded), keystrokes re-filter
in memory, the index discards on clear — the snapshot stays O(cards).
⌘F routes by focus: the comments pane gets an app-owned find bar
spanning the whole rendered thread (next/prev cross rows with
wraparound); body and composer keep NSTextFinder; Find Next/Previous
graduate from FutureCommands. Foreign comment changes speak
path-shaped beside the announcer's ladder ("New comment on 'X'",
plural folds), narrowed by EchoLedger receipts consumed through
CommentPath.classify — and that read fixed a latent footprint bug
where a comment receipt resolved against the card's attachment
listing, read .absent, and classified the user's own write as
foreign. The pane completes its a11y story: flattened comment
elements with Edit/Delete/Reveal custom actions (un-flattening
during inline edit), phrase-table vocabulary, labeled composer and
sort control, and an audit over the open pane on a comment-seeded
fixture (runnable only where automation permission exists).

Phase 2 completes the lanes-in-trash card. TrashEntry merges the
trash's two kinds by rank in exactly ONE place (ItemPath.resolve's
own merge deleted in favor of it — the three-merge-points finding
shrinks instead of growing). TrashLaneRowView renders the opaque
row — tertiary plate, level-default lane glyph never the lane's own
icon, title + card count, no accents, no expansion; the column badge
counts rendered rows. Selection grammar: kind-homogeneous trash
selections — ranges skip the other kind, ⇧-extension stops at the
kind boundary, plain arrows walk the merged order, marquee stays
card-only (now load-bearing: rows register frames for arrows),
Select All card-scoped; successor-on-purge crosses kinds like
navigation as the interim for open Gap 7b5cbc90. Drag: TrashDrop
accepts lane sessions (drop on shown trash deletes), restoreLanes
routes a trash-sourced strip drop as an arrival-ranked within-board
move with an undo step. Clipboard: ⌘X/⌘V lane restore via opaque
lane subjects; fixed boardRoot(ofLaneFolder:) returning .trash as
the root — a same-board restore looked like an import and would
have reminted the lane it was restoring (pinned by test). A11y:
row = one flattened "title, deleted lane, N cards" element with
Delete/Reveal actions; BoardDiff crossings read lanes as
deleted/restored, shown-trash churn digested at row level. Agent
guide stays v7 — the literal already teaches lanes-trash-by-move
and kind stamping; drift-guard pins those lines. README trash
paragraph notes lanes.
Both schemes 1893 tests / 322 suites green.

User-ruled 2026-07-29: the ledger builds now in base, pre-release
(DESIGN/02 - Components - EchoLedger; DESIGN/10 - Live board
announcements). Receipts drop inside BoardWriter's four disk primitives
(atomic replace, folder move, removal, attachment copy) into a @TaskLocal
ledger that BoardStore.performWrite binds for the bracket's duration -
no call-site bookkeeping, and performWholesale deliberately binds
nothing per 02's bracket exemption. Classification is a pure function of
two snapshots: an item whose folder, index.md bytes, or attachment
listing differs is an observed change; disk matching the receipt is
app-mediated (receipt consumed), no receipt or mismatch is foreign.
Byte-identical foreign overwrites classify app-mediated (unobservable,
accepted); a foreign edit over a fresh app write classifies foreign.
The announcer now consumes per-file facts on every reload origin - the
WatchOrigin gate is gone (ReloadFacts.origin removed outright; nothing
read it after the gate fell). Reconciling sweeps announce their
receipt-less findings as foreign, closing both interim holes
(debounce-window absorption, reconcile silence). The vanishing-focus
rung gates on the ledger too: "deleted externally" would be a lie about
an app-mediated delete, and the subject's own verdict decides.
Divergence flagged: attachment imports hash the landed file right after
FileManager.copyItem rather than during the copy (the bytes do not
stream through the app); an unreadable read-back records nothing, the
direction that biases toward foreign.
30 ledger tests added, announcer suite reworked to the ruling. 1638
green on both schemes.

The board speaks when files change under the user, per DESIGN/10 § Live
board announcements. BoardDiff is the pure snapshot summarizer (identity
sets for cards/lanes added/edited/moved/deleted — ids, not tallies, so
pro-m1's semantic commit engine can build on it; edited = rendered
content only, moved beats edited, implied events don't steal the
subject). BoardAnnouncer is the decision seam: focusOutcome computes the
vanishing-focus sentence and the walk-up-then-sideways recovery (next
lane by order, else previous, board container only when none remain,
never the trash); speech(for:) is the one-sentence precedence ladder —
raised condition > bracket completion > cleared condition > vanished
focus > digest — foreign-only for the last two rungs, so app-mediated
echoes stay silent.
BoardStore.land assembles ReloadFacts and posts exactly one sentence per
reload through the injectable announce outlet (AccessibilityAnnouncer,
medium priority, never interrupting). Selection recovery layers on top
of ItemReferenceSet re-resolution — survivors veto, the emptied
selection lands on the vanished item's lane and re-arms ⌘N's active-lane
memory. performWholesale(announcing:) arms a completion phrase consumed
by the closing reload — nil on every base bracket today; pro-m1 fills
git phrasings. Locks raised outside the reload path (vanished root,
unwritable location) announce through the same ladder, and the banner
strip is a labeled "Board status" container whose row labels are the
announced sentences (AccessibilityPhrases.bannerLabel — one string for
eye and ear).
Announcements classify at reload granularity (WatchOrigin) as a
deliberate interim: DESIGN/02's EchoLedger (per-file classification, the
announcer's specified input, git-free) was scheduled with the
auto-committer that the edition split moved to pro-m1 — filed on the
Redesign board for a ruling. 1533 unit tests green, both schemes build.

The board window's accessibility tree per DESIGN/10: lanes are containers
labeled "<title>, lane, N cards" (filter-aware count = renderedCards, the
badge's own collection); cards are one flattened element each — label =
title or the untitled placeholder, value = attachment count + "cut,
pending paste", selection via trait; face icon, stripe, and paperclip are
decorative and hidden. Masonry never leaks into traversal: slots carry
order-keyed accessibilitySortPriority, so a wide lane reads by card order,
not column-major. Lane titles carry the heading trait for the rotor.
VO-Space is the ⌘-click analogue routed through the existing
BoardStore.click funnel (SelectionGrammar stays the single answer for
toggle and container-boundary rules) — cards and lane headers both.
Context-menu rows double as custom accessibility actions, each calling
the same private method as its menu row so the surfaces cannot drift;
trash cards expose Delete and Reveal in Finder and never Open. The trash
column is pinned last via sort priority 0, its label/value re-routed
through the new AccessibilityPhrases seam; toggling trash visibility
posts a one-line announcement from the store seam (both command faces).
The invisible lane-resize drag strip leaves the tree — the stepper and
menu items are the accessible width path.
AccessibilityPhrases is the pure vocabulary seam (labels, values, plural
folding shared with TrashModel.phrase), pinned by its own test suite.
Both schemes build; 1466 unit tests green.
