rzen 3a9db2e78b Build the integrity service - IntegrityRules and the HealScheduler
The 2026-07-29 integrity design pass, consolidated (DESIGN/01 -
Validation and healing; DESIGN/02 - Components): IntegrityRules
(Storage, pure) is the one home for the identity predicate and
canonical form (BoardWriter.canonicalIdentity deleted, ItemID and the
loader forward to it), the per-field rulebook, uneditable shapes,
per-kind index validation, the reserved-name tables, and the trash
kind discriminator (values trusted - kind: lane/card explicit,
unrecognized falls to shape). LoadResult's ad-hoc channels fold into
one typed Defect stream (looseCardFiles / legacyTombstone /
claimedNameSquatted, per-defect heal signatures); the old accessors
survive as computed views.

HealScheduler (LiveStore) states the six-step heal pattern once -
resting-clear, lock gate, isWritableFile gate (now covering all four
heals), signature memo armed-before-attempt with explicit
clear-on-success, disk re-verify in each write half, one banner-posture
table (BannerCenter keeps all phrasing). The three hand-rolled healers
run on it with behavior preserved - including the
relocation-notice-despite-partial-failure quirk, deliberately. Heals
run at the reload tail AND at registry acquire, closing the
migration-never-fires-at-open asymmetry. Displacement runs first: a
squatted .trash would otherwise fail the migration and arm its memo
against an unchanged picture.

Claimed-name squatters (ruled today, 62c47a2) displace by the shared
Finder-style rename ladder - preserved verbatim, symlinks moved as
links, nothing stamped; AgentGuide's untouchable-skip upgrades to
displace-then-write, the CLAUDE.user.md-taken skip stands. kind stamps
on every create and backfills on any index rewrite via the on-touch
seam (placement resolver stamps nothing when the parent is unknown -
a guessed kind is worse than an absent one; board-root writers declare
theirs). Heal writes mark their EchoLedger receipts (inert in base;
pro-m1's committer will split them into their own commits). The
renumber ask-renumber-ask-again two-step is one shared helper, adopted
at all nine call sites.

69 tests added. 1738 green on both schemes.

rzen 89d4d983e6 Wire the open-time writability probe and read-only lock
Closes the gap found at m10: enterUnwritableLock existed with zero call
sites. WritabilityProbe classifies the cause volume-first - a board on a
read-only DMG is also permission-denied by access(2), and "you don't
have permission" would send the user to a Get Info panel that cannot
help - with a pure classify(volumeIsReadOnly:isWritable:) truth table
and a two-syscall probe that rebuilds its URL to defeat NSURL resource
caching. ReadOnlyLockReason.unwritableLocation now carries the cause;
BannerCenter phrases the two ("this board's volume is read-only" vs
"you don't have permission to change this folder").

The probe wires once in BoardStoreRegistry.acquire, immediately after
the store loads - every open path funnels through it, and running
before the loose-file relocation and agent-guide hooks makes the
skipped-with-log guide write true by construction (its isWritableFile
pre-check demotes to second line of defense). The board still opens:
lock, not refusal.

The reconciling re-probe is now symmetric per 02's settled text - a
volume gone read-only mid-session raises the lock at the next probe
(sibling locks settle first, so a root returning read-only lands the
honest lock); the stale "deliberately one-way" comment and its pinning
test are gone. Save as Template's carve-out predicate extracted to a
testable allowsSave (behavior unchanged); Duplicate stays disabled.

11 tests added. 1649 green on both schemes.

rzen 5880838e66 Build the EchoLedger - per-file write provenance for announcements
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.

rzen 28ca2c3f50 Realign code with the 2026-07-29 accessibility rulings
Three ruled behavior changes (DESIGN/10, resolution session 2026-07-29):

- The board-change digest covers the trash while View > Show Trash is on:
  BoardDiff.between gains includingTrash, keying its card index by
  ItemPath so foreign purges, restores, and Empty Trash join the digest;
  crossings of the trash boundary still read deleted/restored, never
  moved, on both sides of the toggle. BoardStore.land passes the store's
  own isTrashVisible - no new injection seam.

- A vanished head with surviving co-selection is still named: naming and
  recovery are independent axes, so BoardAnnouncer's vanished-focus rung
  fires on all branches while the survivors-veto now gates only the
  recovery half (recovery implies vanished, no longer both-or-neither).

- Banner-row buttons are literal FKA Tab stops: BannerRow.controls is
  the row's testable button inventory, BannerRowView renders from it
  with .focusable() on each button; the combined VoiceOver element stays
  unconditional - custom actions and Tab stops are independent surfaces.

19 tests added, 2 expectations updated to the rulings. 1607 green on
both schemes.

rzen c339b4cecf Implement live accessibility announcements
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.

rzen b3812ed928 Build AgentGuide — versioned CLAUDE.md maintenance
The app-owned agent guide at every board root (DESIGN/08 ▸ The agent
guide): version-gated by a first-line marker (v5, superseding the
pathfinder's v4 guides on real boards), rewritten when missing or older,
byte-for-byte untouched when current or newer. A markerless CLAUDE.md is
displaced to CLAUDE.user.md when that name is free — never clobbered —
and the guide write is skipped with a log when it isn't. Symlinks,
folders, and read-only volumes are skipped in silence; the write rides
performWrite's bracket as an app-mediated Writer operation (new
WriteOperation.agentGuide), so the echo lands appMediated and the
Pro-era committer can attribute it honestly later.

Hooked at store acquire (beside the loose-file relocation, after the
watcher exists) and on every successful reload — the guide self-heals
from foreign deletion or rollback, pre-wiring 06's acknowledged undo
bounce. The refresh memo arms before each attempt and clears on a
successful write, so a failing write can't hot-loop and a foreign
deletion stays healable. First-line-only marker parsing (no Regex);
guide content is one swappable literal, finalized under the next card.

rzen 3aa80db2a4 Build the template chooser and Save as Template
The chooser completes its three tiers: bundled by template order, then
keyed user templates, then keyless boards by display name — and a
malformed user template still lists, by folder name with the loader's
own sentence on the row, never failing its neighbours. The store is
re-scanned on every presentation and on app activation, the Reveal
round trip made honest without watching a folder 09 deliberately
leaves unwatched; Reveal lives in the chooser's header and mints the
store on first press. Save as Template repeats Duplicate's sequence —
progress row with Cancel, flush, detached cancellable copy — through
the engine: mint the store, read the next user order before the copy
can count itself, Finder-ladder the name, copy excluding .git and
.trash/, then stamp the whole template: mapping on the landed copy
through updateIndex, with no bracket because the copy lives outside
every watched board. Folder attributes deliberately don't carry — the
one lock the command stays live under is the read-only-DMG one, and
carrying its mode bits would mint a read-only template in the user's
own store; the command gates instead on the real hazard, unsaved card
content. A signpost names the template only when the ladder renamed
it. One name ladder now serves Duplicate and the store.

rzen 797d020d01 Materialize the trash — faces, menus, and grammar
Phase 3 finishes the pivot at the surface. One card face serves two
containers: CardFaceView extracted with a role — board or trash — so
stripe, tint, chip, selection stroke, cut dim, marquee registration,
and drag are shared by construction, the trash side differing only in
its absences: no Open, no rename, no Style, no file-hover highlight,
and a Delete that goes through the confirmation host. The column
rewrote around the lanes' own single-column masonry so drag reflow
reads as positional slides; chrome stays the hatched header, symbol,
and count — 11 gives Empty Trash to the File menu alone. Two real
grammar bugs die here: plain Backspace on a trash selection purged
without the confirmation the menu raises, and the context menu's
Delete resolved against the standing selection, so right-clicking a
trash card under a board selection silently did nothing — it now
stages the clicked set explicitly. Open, Rename, Style, and Empty
Trash validation became testable store seams; the column is one named
accessibility container of ordinary card elements. The tombstone era
is swept: deleteItem, restoreItem, stripTombstonedChildren — dead
since lane copies stopped nesting trash — the restore verb, the
unreachable put-back banner row, and every quasi-lane doc comment.

rzen 53bc71f7fb Materialize the trash — store, undo, and the container universe
Phase 2 swaps every consumer: Liveness and its ancestor walk are gone,
replaced by ItemContainer — a UUID set plus the container side it
lives on, presence the whole test, one selection boundary instead of
the old liveness law. Deletion stages by place: board cards move to
the trash at a store-minted head rank, trash-side delete is permanent
behind its confirmation, Delete Immediately skips the trash from
anywhere, lane delete captures the subtree and removes the folder.
Restore has no method at all — moveCards resolves members in either
container, so drag-out and cut-paste are the ordinary moves 13 calls
them, registering ordinary Move steps. The delete inverse moves the
card back to its captured lane and rank; redo replays the captured
trash rank, a value the gesture actually wrote; lane undo recreates
the subtree byte-faithfully in session. Purges register nothing —
where 13's trash section contradicts its own Rules on that, Rules
wins, filed for ruling. Staleness collapsed to present-or-absent: a
container is a path, so a foreign restore fails the delete step's
expectation structurally. Legacy tombstones migrate on the loose-file
tail hook, cards oldest-first so minting above top reproduces the
retired newest-first column, lanes returning live, one folded loss
row naming both directions. Put Back, restoreByDrag,
receiveRestoredCards, TrashEntry, and the kind machinery are deleted;
the trash column renders the container correctly with its full face
rework left to phase 3.

rzen 4cf5f09d93 Materialize the trash — storage layer
Phase 1 of the trash pivot: the file format learns .trash/. The loader
parses the reserved root container — cards only, one shared parseCard
for both containers so fail-fast, attachments, and verbatim documents
are literally the same code; absent means empty; symlinks and
lane-shaped nestings fall out as strays by construction. BoardModel
grows snapshot.trash as a plain rank-ordered card list — the container
has no identity to carry. Legacy deleted: keys keep flowing through
the retiring flag path so every tombstone consumer stays green, and
are additionally reported through LoadResult.legacyTombstones in the
loose-file idiom for phase 2's migration scheduling — nothing vanishes
from view before its folder has actually moved, which is also 01's
lock-deferral posture. Writer primitives land value-passing: move to
trash with caller-minted rank and the deliberate modified stamp,
tombstone migrations that surgically remove the key, physical lane
removal, per-card and whole-container purge that leaves strays
verbatim, and byte-faithful whole-subtree capture/recreate for lane
undo. Board-wide identity now spans the trash, so an import colliding
with a trashed UUID remints instead of colliding. The watcher already
delivered .trash events — isGitInternal tests a component, not a dot —
now stated and pinned rather than relied on.

rzen 50669489cb Implement staleness validation and skip-with-banner
Every crossing validates its expectations before writing: each step
carries per-item HistoryExpectations — folder, effective ancestor-walked
liveness, and exactly the fields the gesture set — and a mismatch pops
the step, posts the signpost ('Undo skipped — Fix login changed outside
Lanework'), and falls through to the next. Validation reads disk, not
the in-memory snapshot: the snapshot is by construction one reload
behind every app write, so a rapid second undo would false-skip against
the pre-state — disk is what current can honestly mean at press time.
Stale and failed part ways: a stale step is one the board moved past,
so dropping it loses nothing; a failed one is refused by a usually
momentary condition, so it stays put and the crossing stops with only
performWrite's own error row — which forced the provider off
NSUndoManager onto two plain arrays, since a popped group cannot be put
back. The read-only lock disables Undo/Redo through the adapter while
the stack survives to resume on clear. Delete and restore validate
presence alone — a machine timestamp is not a decision — and a
malformed field matches nothing, since it is a shape the app never
writes.

rzen 2148ebb379 Register inverse operations at the Writer boundary
The store is the Writer boundary, so it computes and registers
inverses: a weak history sink bound at session composition, one
HistoryStep per gesture at exactly the brackets that were already one
performWrite each — multi-card moves, style batches, width pairs, and
multi-row restores each undo as one plurally-titled step, and the Edit
session registers once at the flip from the bytes disk held before its
first landed write, debounce ticks registering nothing. Crossings run
through performWrite, so an undo brackets the watcher, echoes through
the reload, and reaches every window; every closure captures values,
never snapshots. The inventory follows 13 exactly: moves return to
origin lane and order, renames restore or remove the title key,
restyles and resizes restore field values or absence, tombstones and
restores swap with captured timestamps, and an undone create is a real
removal — no trace — with redo re-materializing the same UUID from
bytes captured at gesture time. Purge, attachments, repair,
bookkeeping, checkbox flips, raw Apply, and the whole arrival family
register nothing, each exclusion documented where it lives. Step names
speak 06's verb vocabulary through the new HistoryPhrase.

rzen 40322247e0 Build the style, details, and actions sidebar sections
The sidebar completes: the shared style editor gains a second anchor —
StyleEditorLayout carries the geometry (the popover keeps its settled
268/14/7/8 untouched as the default; the sidebar packs columns to its
width with no inner scroller) while every well, the batch display, the
arrow grammar, and the one applyStyle bracket stay the shared
component's. The card anchor is fixed, not tracking: the target is
this card, and the fate walk retires the window when the card goes.
Details renders every unknown frontmatter key read-only in file order —
Card.document already carried them — showing the author's own bytes
where the raw span is a value and the engine's rendering for block
scalars and empties; reserved enhanced-schema keys are ordinary
unknowns, and no keys means no section. Actions: Delete rides the same
tombstone bytes as Backspace and drop-on-trash through a one-line
seam, says nothing about selection, and lets the fate walk dismiss;
Reveal in Finder resolves through the attachment scope so the two
paths cannot disagree. History reserves its m7 slot without drawing a
header no base board can honor.

rzen 46397c740e Build the attachments sidebar section
The card's complete file inventory: compact QuickLook-thumbnail rows
over Card.attachments — no reference tracking, subfolders tolerated
and unsurfaced — with a quiet header add affordance and the drop hint
empty state. The whole window is the file-drop surface, Edit mode
included (the editor's drag types were already filtered; now tested),
sharing the board's folder-refusal semantics literally: FinderDrop
moved verbatim into its own file so both windows run the same
partition and loss row. Dragged text still lands at the caret and is
inert elsewhere — the window delegate accepts file payloads only.
Rows open on double-click or Return, drag out their file URL, and
Remove is a bracketed write through FileManager.trashItem — the system
Trash, never a hard delete, returning the in-Trash URL so the promise
is testable; the attachment listing is the guard, so traversal and
subfolder names refuse in one line. Keyboard-native per 05: the
section is one Tab stop, arrows walk rows by name, Space toggles the
shared QuickLook panel, Backspace removes. File > Add Attachment
(shift-cmd-A) comes alive through the same import path.

rzen 40c0a75c24 Build the Raw Source outlet
The escape hatch: View > Raw Source (opt-cmd-E) unmounts the whole
content area for the literal on-disk index.md in a plain monospaced
editor with Cancel/Apply. Raw source is window-level state, not a third
body mode — entry rides setMode(.preview), which flushes the Edit
session by construction, then reads the file fresh; exit reveals
Preview, and an empty body after Apply does not reopen Edit (openIfNeeded
already ran). Apply validates the proposed bytes through the loader's
own card checks — parseDocument's strict UTF-8/BOM rejection, schema,
order — deliberately skipping the uneditable-shape refusal, since a
flow-mapping card is exactly what the hatch repairs; invalid bytes
alert in place with the loader's own error and no bracket opens. The
write is byte-for-byte with no modified stamp and no modified-by clear,
per 01's explicit carve-out — the verbatim contract outranks stamping —
and identical bytes write nothing. Escape cancels, cmd-Return applies,
toggle-off applies too, and cmd-E disables while raw is active via a
testable predicate. Tombstoned targets refuse as vanished: a foreign
delete is never reverted by a stale buffer.

rzen e989c1f26e Build Edit mode with debounced, byte-honest saves
The editing surface: the same hosted TextKit-1 text view gains an
editable branch with a per-keystroke line-scanner highlighter — chosen
over a parser re-parse because a mid-typing buffer is usually invalid
Markdown and 05 wants the delimiters themselves dimmed; apply only sets
attributes, so presentation-never-transforms is structural. Saves ride
a ~700ms injectable debounce through BoardWriter.writeBody —
toggleTaskMarker's idiom widened to the body span, frontmatter bytes
untouched, refusing to write when disk already holds that body, which
enforces all three gates (untouched, reverted, echo) at the layer that
owns the bytes with one isDirty predicate above it. Mode grammar lands
whole: ⌘E toggles with a checkmark, Return in Preview enters, Escape
returns, and every flip flushes first; window close flushes through
the existing retry/save-copy/discard modal, and the dismissal flush
deliberately reaches a tombstoned card. Dirty-buffer-wins: disk always
follows the snapshot, the buffer only when clean, both surfaces render
the buffer. Undo is the editor's own session-scoped NSUndoManager;
endEditSession names the pro-m1 one-commit-per-session boundary.

rzen 6dc84176fb Build Preview mode rendering
The card body's resting state: swift-markdown (pinned 0.8.0, smart
typography off — Preview renders the bytes on disk) parsed into a pure
BodyMarkup model with UTF-8 source offsets, rendered on one hosted
TextKit 1 NSTextView — chosen because find-in-text is NSTextFinder,
checkbox clicks reuse AppKit character hit-testing, links are .link
attributes, and NSTextTable's automatic layout is exactly the
columns-sized-to-contents rule. The GFM subset renders per 05; HTML
stays verbatim code-styled text; relative images resolve against the
card folder while remote URLs are never fetched, drawing a quiet chip
instead. Task checkboxes are live: a click flips exactly one byte
through a fresh-read, refuse-uneditable, stamp, atomic-replace write —
the app's only offset-addressed write, so a moved target refuses as
staleTarget and what the user saw decides the direction, netting one
toggle on a double-click. Empty bodies open in Edit per CardBodyMode's
opening rule, applied once; the Edit surface itself stays an honest
read-only stub until its card. FindCommand prefers the card body's
find over board search when a card window is focused.

rzen 1e65b7c986 Build the card window shell and lifecycle
The m4 scene plumbing was already honest — one WindowGroup value per
CardWindowRef enforces one-window-per-card, and CardWindowFate's
ancestor walk answered dismissal — so this card fills the window: a
two-column shell whose body column takes all resize flex and whose
sidebar width derives once from font metrics (26 characters of average
body advance plus em gutters), the five 05-ordered section headers as
placeholders, and the card body as selectable plain text until Preview
mode lands. The fate walk now returns a CardPlacement (card + lane), so
one pass answers both liveness and the live board › lane subtitle; a
board rename lands for free through displayName. Card windows remember
their frames per card in the board record (case-folded id keys,
unchanged-writes-nothing), restoring instead of cascading; only
unremembered cards take the last-used size and cascade. Store
acquisition stays gated on liveStore — a card window never opens a
board — and the close-flush hook stands with nothing to flush until the
Edit-session card.

rzen af1860debf Relocate loose card files into attachments
01's Lanework-owns-the-board carve-out: a regular file beside a card's
index.md belongs in attachments/, and the app moves it there. The
loader detects read-only — a new LoadResult.looseCardFiles channel,
separate from the stray-tolerance warnings because it says the opposite
thing — skipping directories, symlinks, hidden entries, and the
reserved names compared case-insensitively (on APFS, Index.md IS the
index). The relocation rides one performWrite bracket at the tail of
every successful reload, which makes lock deferral free: the reload
that lifts a read-only lock is the reload that relocates. A
lane/card/filename memo keeps a failing relocation from hot-looping —
one one-shot, then silence until disk changes. The notice rides the
loss-row class, phrasing folded by BannerCenter (one file, one card's
files, a multi-card sweep), naming original filenames per the
importAttachment rule. Paste normalizes at the import boundary: staged
snapshots' loose files land in the pasted card's attachments silently,
every arrival path declaring its side via an explicit
normalizingLooseFiles parameter — drag paths decline and fall back to
the destination's own carve-out. checkIsCardFolder closes the hole
where a lane's notes.txt would have been relocated: card depth is
exact, UUID under UUID.

rzen 5c0c0e5619 Realign search, clipboard, and lane-hover code with the second batch
Creation now clears the search by mechanism, not gesture: one seam
(noteUserCreation) states 04's rule once, called from the placeholder
funnel, paste — cards and lanes, after the staleness guard so a stale
paste clears nothing — and Finder file-drop creation; the attach path
deliberately doesn't clear, and cross-board arrivals and New Lane stay
outside the seam (a transfer isn't creation; a lane can't be born
invisible). An open inline rename now survives the filter hiding its
card: the model already kept the editor, but the field renders in the
card's slot, so renderedCards keeps the renaming card's slot exactly as
long as the editor is open — the query stands throughout, and commit or
Escape lets the predicate apply in the same pass. Verified conformant
and newly pinned: query-emptied lanes keep their slot with a 0 badge,
pasteboard staleness (takeover before paste and mid-staging both no-op),

rzen 524488122f Land Finder file drops positionally, header release topmost
04's settled clauses were mostly shipped already — the create landing
resolved through DropSlotMath.cardSlot with one nominal shadow per
importable file — but a release on the lane header fell through to the
card zones, which clamp inward, so a scrolled lane could propose behind
the header stripe. FileDropZones now folds header, attach hit-test, and
card-slot resolution into one pure seam asked in that order, the header
answering topmost per the ruling; lane headers register their frames
for it. FinderDrop.shadowCount names the floor-at-one rule. New tests
pin the header boundary, a differential against cardSlot's own zones
(same zones, not similar), and a store-level differential proving a
file landing takes the very ranks a card move there takes.

rzen 33bf425f25 Drop a card on the shown trash to delete it
04's ruling makes the drag the pointer's delete gesture: the shown
trash column accepts live same-board card drags, the shadow pinned
topmost — honest, since the trash sorts by deleted newest-first — and
release tombstones through the same write path as Backspace, extracted
so the two gestures cannot drift. DropTarget grew a container case for
the quasi-lane (it has no lane id by construction); lane drags,
cross-board arrivals, option-copies (re-checked at release, the one
input that can flip without a callback), trashed-side payloads, hidden
trash, and the read-only lock all refuse — and a refusal falls through
to the strip retarget, never cancelling the drag. The settle draws the
tombstoned rows in the trash under the cards' own GUIDs, so the echo is
an invisible content swap and nothing winks out for a round trip.
Selection needs no surgery: the reload's resolve rule ejects tombstoned
members as the vanish it is, pinned by a test contrasting both gestures.

rzen 1487b391ad Refuse folder drops at hover, skip them in mixes
04's settled ruling: the attachment model is flat top-level files, so a
drag containing only folders never engages — no highlight, no proposal,
the standard incompatible-payload cursor — and a mixed drag proposes for
its files only, importing them at the drop while a loss row names the
skipped folders. Hover reads the providers' registered types (anything
conforming to public.directory refuses, packages included); commit
re-partitions authoritatively from the filesystem, so a synthetic
payload that hides its type still can't land a folder. The create path
now only ever fires with at least one importable file — the
mint-fail-remove dance is gone from the folder case and stays reserved
for genuine mid-batch failures.

rzen 7be4eec9fd Unify the trashed universe on the trash rows
02 rules the trashed side has exactly one definition: the set with
trash rows — a card carrying its own deleted: under a tombstoned lane
is in neither universe, so an anchor or selection can never survive on
an item that renders nowhere. The membership rule now lives once, in
Liveness.walk, and ItemReferenceSet.idUniverse, TrashModel.entries,
paths, and emptyTrashTargets all derive from it — the old
lane-OR-card logic that admitted subsumed cards to the trashed side is
gone, and the two universes deliberately no longer partition the
board. Put Back, Delete Immediately, and Empty Trash outcomes are
unchanged: a tombstoned lane still moves and purges whole, its nested
tombstones with it.

02 ratified a warning-tone class for non-failure losses — content that

from a Finder drop, their future kin. Loss rows take the one-shot's
dismissable-untimed lifecycle (a loss the user didn't notice is the
harm) and rank below the true failures, above commit and attachment
notices. BannerCenter grows LossBanner, postLoss, and the
skipped-folders phrasing; the degraded-paste notice moves off its

rzen cf87b72092 Implement live search filtering
The board's live title+body filter per 04-interactions.md § Search:

- SearchFilter — a pure value folding the query once (case- and
  diacritic-insensitive substring, locale-stable); title OR body matches,
  attachment filenames never searched; only the literal empty string is
  inactive.
- One universe: the filter threads through SelectionGrammar's order lists
  as a defaulted parameter, so ranges, Select All, arrow navigation, the
  marquee, drop zones, count badges, and the shown trash all read the same
  filtered set by construction; lanes are deliberately never filtered out
  (an emptied lane keeps its slot with a 0 badge). Hidden cards leave the
  selection through the existing constrain primitive, run on every query
  change and as the last line of the reload resolve; the delete successor
  is filtered so ⌫ never selects a hidden neighbour.
- The field: an NSSearchField-backed toolbar item (the toolbar's sole
  default item); Edit ▸ Find ⌘F focuses it through a focused-value
  presentation; stock field-editor dispatch — Return swallowed, Tab is the
  keep-filter path to the board, board commands stay enabled except the
  caret-chord pair, now one shared caretChordsYield expression.
- Escape is staged: clear the non-empty query (focus stays), hand an empty
  field back to the board, clear an active search from board focus —
  before Escape's clear-selection meaning.
- Creating a card clears the search (the placeholder funnel); a rename
  deliberately gets no carve-out; filter reflow rides the content spring
  keyed narrowly on the query.

rzen 7eee0934ee Implement the hybrid clipboard with deferred cut
⌘X/⌘C/⌘V for cards and lanes per 04-interactions.md § Clipboard:

- ClipboardStore stages full folder snapshots eagerly at the gesture into
  Application Support (at most the current copy; sweep at launch and on
  each copy purges what the pasteboard no longer references; a copy made
  before quitting pastes whole after restart) and writes the pasteboard a
  JSON manifest — every entry embedding its index.md, lane entries their
  cards' too — plus plain-text titles.
- Cut is Finder-style deferred: items dim in place off pendingCut, void on
  pasteboard takeover (changeCount, no timers), source-board close, or
  per-item external tombstoning; the first armed paste moves the surviving
  originals whole (tombstoned interior cards land in the destination's
  trash), a second paste materializes copies from staging.
- Paste anchors by the shared flatten-order rule (NewCardTarget's anchor,
  extracted); a tombstoned selection never anchors; lane paste reaches the
  right end and stays enabled on a zero-lane board; paste into the source
  board is the within-board lane duplicate; copies keep created, take
  fresh GUIDs, and strip tombstoned cards; trash-sourced copies strip
  deleted: at materialization; ⌘X is disabled on the trash side.
- A degraded paste is loud, never silent: staging gone → the embedded
  index.md fallback lands content-intact, attachments absent, and a
  BannerCenter-phrased row names what was lost.
- The standard Edit items validate through conditionally-attached
  onCommand handlers, so AppKit's enablement mirrors the availability
  predicates; text fields keep their own clipboard while focused.

rzen 8f116934b4 Implement Finder file drops
Files from Finder land on the board per 04-interactions.md § Drag & drop:

- Dropped on a card, they copy into its attachments/ (any type, multi-file),
  the face highlighting while hovered; the hovered card is resolved by
  hit-testing the same analytic masonry frames the card zones are built
  from, so attach-beats-create adds no drop region and cannot drift from
  the dispatch.
- Dropped on lane empty space, one card per file — filename minus extension
  as the title (a blank stem omits the key), fresh GUID, rank at the drop
  position through the ordinary insertion machinery, the file attached —
  all in one bracket; a failed import removes the just-minted card, so
  creating-then-abandoning never leaves an empty card behind.
- Every board drop surface now declares .fileURL beside the two board
  types (the single-target-dispatch rule); tombstoned surfaces are inert;
  file sessions ride a distinct session mode with their own watchdog and
  no hysteresis, leaving the board-drag machinery untouched.
- Also: four empty fixture directories pinned with .keep files so git
  preserves them, and a test-only visibility fix in DragSessionTests.

rzen 90cf82d740 Implement drag & drop with the locality model
The second half: system drag sessions over phase 1's model, per
DRAG-REORDER.md and 04-interactions.md § Drag & drop.

- Card faces, lane headers, and trash rows drag as NSItemProvider sessions
  (two exported UTTypes, JSON payload in flatten order, plain-text titles as
  the secondary representation) — replacing m4's custom lane-reorder gesture
  and trash drag-out wholesale; the app-wide DragSession carries the members,
  the frozen dragged sizes, the live proposal, and the effective operation.
- Three drop delegates (lane masonry, strip, window fallback), each accepting
  both types and routing internally per the single-target-dispatch rule; the
  cursor is the physical mouse converted to strip space; proposals come from
  DropSlotMath with hysteresis threaded through, and the lane-strip proposal
  clamps in front of the shown trash.
- Locality picks the default — move within a board, copy across, the badge
  tracking live; ⌥ forces copy (ignored on within-board lane drags), ⌘
  forces move; trash rows restore within their board (positional), copy out
  across boards by default, ⌘ forcing the true restore-move.
- N contiguous shadows with reflow keyed on the proposal; the
  committed-overlay hold renders the dropped arrangement until the reload
  echo lands (1.5 s dissolution deadline for refused writes); the
  re-grounding trio: geometry re-derives per render, proposals re-validate
  by liveness at release, an emptied drag cancels itself.
- Edge autoscroll (ticking driver over DragAutoScrollMath, re-targeting per
  step), the mouse-up-gated late-event cleanup, and the polling watchdog —
  the pathfinder's lifecycle traps, ported.
- Store: moveLanes and multi-card restoreByDrag join the one-bracket drop
  commits.

BoardRecord carries icon/iconColor; recordOpen/recordClose stamp them with the
display name, and a displayStateDelegate on the store (wired in BoardWindowHost
beside onFrameChanged) syncs all three through BoardRegistry.syncDisplayState on
every successful reload — welcome rows now wear the board's own icon and follow
in-app renames live. recordOpen now runs before the load with the folder name as
a brand-new record's provisional display name, so a first open that fails
fail-fast still lands in recents carrying the failure row-level (02's rule); an
existing record's cached name survives a failing retry, and the welcome fallback
list remains only for failures naming no record at all.

DESIGN edits landing from the parallel session, honored:

- Caret chords yield to any focused text control (04 ▸ Grammar): Move
  Left/Right ⌘←/⌘→ and the width pair ⌥⌘←/⌥⌘→ now disable while the board
  popover is open — its fields are the one non-inline text surface a board
  window has today; the search field and card-window fields extend the rule
  with their own cards.
- The width pair batches over a multi-lane selection (03 ▸ Lane, the styling
  precedent): each selected lane steps one unit through one bracket
  (stepLaneWidths); floor members hold on a decrease; the context-menu
  stepper stays single-lane by nature.
- A width write landing on 1 removes the width key (03 ▸ Lane, the
  remove-at-default family), every mechanism alike — writeLaneWidths is the
  one commit point; a hand-written width: 1 is preserved by the unchanged
  guard until the app itself next edits width.

The pathfinder's drag-reorder model, ported and generalized (DRAG-REORDER.md
travels with it, rewritten for lanes, the interior masonry, multi-drag,
cross-board sessions, the re-grounding trio, and the committed-overlay hold):

- DropSlotMath — resting-layout zones from analytic lane arithmetic and the
  pure masonry placement (MasonryLayout now lays out through the same
  MasonryPlacement the drag reads, so geometry cannot drift), span-capped
  triggers sized to the dragged run's future footprint, hysteresis holds with
  the fresh-entry fallback, boundary ties, own-slot no-ops; nil means hold.
- DragAutoScrollMath — the activation bands and velocity ramp, pure.
- The drop commits, one performWrite bracket each: moveCards/copyCards within
  a board (insertion ranks touch only the dragged cards; renumber fallback);
  receiveCards/receiveLanes/receiveRestoredCards on the destination store for
  cross-board copy and ⌘-move with the import-boundary remint, lane copies
  stripping tombstoned cards while moves carry them; restoreByDrag is now
  positional, writing order only when the drop names a new one.

Gestures, sessions, previews, and delegates are the second half.

The board's fixed grammar keys and the menu-backed chords of
04-interactions.md § Keyboard, per the Command Nexus inventory:

- Spatial arrow navigation (NavigationMath.nearest over the marquee
  registry's frames — one geometry source), walking across interior
  masonry columns, lanes, and into the shown trash; ⇧-arrows extend via
  the same range function as ⇧-click and go inert at the liveness and
  kind boundaries; ⌥-jumps with the ⌥↑ lane-domain escalation and ↓
  descent; the empty selection seeds at the first lane's first card;
  selection scrolls into view.
- selectionHead — the navigation cursor beside the anchor, set by every
  click, moved by every arrow, dropped by the reload vanish rule.
- Board ▸ Open Card ⌘↩ (the one command enabled mid-edit: commits the
  placeholder or rename and opens), Move Up/Move Down ⌥⌘↑/⌥⌘↓
  (within-lane sort, gather-then-step, rank-permuting writes in one
  bracket), Move Left/Move Right ⌘←/⌘→ (sole lane, one slot, never the
  trash) — all validating and acting off one shared answer.
- Delete now selects the Finder-style successor sibling from the
  pre-write snapshot, so repeated ⌫ walks down a lane; external
  vanishing still only shrinks the selection.
- handleReturn rejects modified Returns; the trash column renders
  eagerly so every row stays registered for navigation and the marquee.

rzen 2e229735b1 Implement the selection model
The full pointer grammar of 04-interactions.md § Selection, stated once
as a pure function (SelectionGrammar) and reached through one store
funnel from every click surface — card face, lane header, lane empty
space, trash row:

- Plain click replaces and anchors; the lane surfaces (header and empty
  space alike, per the settled one-lane-click-behavior rule) toggle off
  on a sole-membership repeat.
- ⌘-click toggles within a homogeneous set; crossing any axis — cards
  XOR lanes, live XOR trashed, card entries XOR lane entries in the
  trash — degrades to a replace, so no click can produce a mixed
  selection.
- ⇧-click ranges from the anchor in the (side, kind) order list: flatten
  order for cards, lane order for lanes, the trash's deterministic sort
  filtered to kind — the pointer twin of the keyboard's boundary rule
  (the keyboard goes inert, the pointer skips).
- The rubber band (MarqueeSession/MarqueeMath) arms from lane empty
  space, the board backdrop, and the trash column; side frozen at the
  origin, trash bands homogeneous by topmost kind, frames self-registered
  in strip space, geometric begin guard, never animated.
- Fast plain double-click opens the card window (⌘↩'s pointer twin);
  Select All answers the standard Edit menu item via the responder
  chain, trash- and kind-respecting.
- The range anchor lives in TransientBoardState beside the selection and
  obeys the same reload vanish rule.

rzen 4b97ecf3f0 Build the welcome screen
The welcome window becomes the real thing: Xcode-style, hidden title
bar with background drag, branding and actions left, recents right —
rows carrying the board symbol, name, location, and the registry's
cached lane/card counts (stamped at close, never a scan at welcome
time), sorted by last opened. Launch failures surface row-level per
02: a failure joins its recents row as a warning caption, an
unresolvable bookmark renders unavailable with Forget its one
affordance, and only a failure with no row to carry it falls back to
a compact list; a board opening again heals its row. New Board
(Opt-Cmd-N) opens the Pages-style template chooser — shipped with
the single Basic template and the m9 seams marked — flowing through
the save panel into createBoard/createLane and straight into a board
window. Open Recent gains its submenu with Clear Menu (byte-identical
to forgetting every row, pinned by test), and File > Duplicate forks
the frontmost board to a Finder-style copy sibling: pending work
flushes first through the close flush's step two alone (sessions stay
open — 09's stated exception), every GUID and tombstone carries (the
whole-board carve-out from copies-remint), and the copy opens in its
own window while the original stays put. 36 new tests.

rzen 5ebf9fb90c Implement the motion language
One named home for every curve and duration — the two-voice split 03
fixes (snappy structural: drag reflow 0.18, delete 0.25, lane resize
0.2; smooth content-reflow 0.28), the scale-and-fade appear/disappear
transitions (cards 0.8, lanes 0.9), and a Reduce Motion variant on
every accessor (animations go instant, transitions go crossfade). A
post-migration grep holds the invariant: zero motion literals outside
Motion.swift. The animate-vs-snap split lands where Lanework's
one-way flow puts it: the store's reload seam. An app-mediated echo
applies its snapshot inside the structural transaction; foreign and
reconciling reloads — and every bracket-ending wholesale reload —
assign bare, because live-reload is the board becoming what's on
disk, not an event to perform. A window that merged foreign events
into an app-mediated span animates, deliberately: the ratified merge
rule makes it indistinguishable from a pure echo, and a test pins
that reading so a future mixed case fails loudly. The lane-reorder
reflow keys on the drop proposal alone (pointer tracking stays 1:1),
the resize session freezes its Reduce Motion answer at drag start so
the unit tick and the window resize can never disagree, and the m5
drag / m5 search / m7 undo voices are named seams waiting for their
call sites. 13 new tests.

rzen 2090d742b9 Build the trash quasi-lane
Deletion becomes a two-stage, Finder-style story. File > Delete and
plain Backspace tombstone the live selection; View > Show Trash (no
chord — Shift-Cmd-T stays with the system's tab bar) reveals the
quasi-lane: trailing, one fixed width unit consumed only while shown,
hatched dimmed header, count badge, no new-card button, exempt from
resize and reorder alike. Its contents are a pure view over the
snapshot — the deterministic sort (deleted newest first, folder-name
ties, unparseable stamps oldest) interleaves card rows with a
tombstoned lane's single entry, whose count names what Put Back
returns; the ancestor walk is absolute, so an own-flag card beneath a
tombstoned lane has no row and recovery is deliberately two steps.
Put Back twins Delete on Cmd-Backspace with validation enabling
exactly one; restore fidelity is byte-perfect because nothing ever
moved. Delete Immediately confirms exactly where loss is real (every
board is mode-none today; the predicate names the git carve-out for
m7), Empty Trash always confirms with the true whole-board count,
and dragging a tombstoned card onto a live lane restores it there —
positional drops and cross-board locality arrive with m5's machinery.
The banner's delete phrasing drops "move to the trash" per the naming
constraint: board deletion says Delete, "Move to Trash" stays
reserved for the system Trash. 47 new tests.

rzen aa6aaf2a11 Build the board popover — title widget, rename, styling, git slot
The window-title widget arrives as a leading titlebar accessory — a
quiet chevron on board windows only, installed and removed by the
window controller's own attach lifecycle — anchoring the one
board-level surface as a transient popover (the board window
deliberately grows no toolbar item for it). Inside: board rename
editing frontmatter title only (the folder is never renamed; an empty
commit removes the key and the window title falls back to the folder
name), the embedded shared style editor permanently targeting the
board, and the labeled Git section that this milestone only reserves
— a mode-none explanation and a disabled stub where m7's add-git,
branch, remote, and authentication controls land. Cmd-I (File >
Board Info) toggles it per window through a focused scene value,
kept apart from board-scoped transient state since a titlebar
popover belongs to one window, not to the board. Escape reverts a
dirty rename field and falls through to dismiss otherwise; a foreign
rename resyncs the field only while unfocused. 12 new tests.

rzen c6298c2e41 Build the styling system and shared style editor
One style-editor component, anchor-agnostic: a background grid (None
well plus the 12 palette colors) and a curated symbol grid (the
pathfinder's five-dozen set, leading well removing the icon key for
the level default), selection-aware across cards, lanes, and the
board itself. Batch edits compute per-dimension state — uniform,
mixed (no well selected), or an off-palette value labeled verbatim
outside the grids — and choosing a well applies to the whole target
set as one write bracket, skipping no-ops per field. The popover
tracks its target set live per the freshly ratified rule: targets
re-resolve by UUID on every reload, a vanished target leaves the set,
an emptied set dismisses the editor, and nothing ever silently
retargets to the board. Anchors landing now: Board > Style
(Opt-Cmd-S) and the card/lane context menus, which also carry the
quick-style recents row (app-wide, persisted, capped at six, None
never recorded) and the lane's width control twinning the menu
chords. The styling system's other two renders arrive with it: a
lane's background paints the C7 top-edge band, the board's paints

rzen b35566e0fe Build lane chrome — title bar, badge, inline rename
The lane title bar becomes real: leading SF Symbol (hand-written names
render leniently, unknown ones fall back to the level default), title
or secondary untitled placeholder, a quiet count badge that counts
exactly the cards the body renders (so the m5 search filter is
followed by construction), and a new-card button. The whole bar is
the reorder drag surface — no grip — with click-vs-movement splitting
select from drag; a pure proposal function maps the drag to an
insertion index and release commits through the Writer's same-parent
degenerate reorder, compacting and retrying when midpoint precision
runs out. Clicking never edits: inline rename is Return on the sole
selected card or Board > Rename for either kind, a third transient
editor beside the placeholder that tracks its target by UUID, commits
on focus loss, discards silently when the target vanishes, and
removes the title key on an empty commit. The new-card placeholder
renders at last — the settled Cmd-N target rule (pure, tested) files
it after the anchor card, at a selected lane's bottom, or into the
last-active lane; Return commits and re-selects the lane, Cmd-Return
also opens the card window, and a failed create discards the overlay.

rzen ff3ba298f0 Build the full-visibility lane layout
The lane strip replaces the placeholder board: window width divides
across the lanes' width units (no horizontal scroll, no minimum width,
degenerate compression accepted), a lane of n units flowing its cards
into n round-robin masonry columns via a measurement-cached Layout.
Width has two deliberately opposite controls, both landing here: the
right-edge drag (ported verbatim from the pathfinder's ColumnResize)
freezes the 1x standard at drag start, snaps between integer widths
with the asymmetric shadow-leads tick and 10pt re-entry, grows the
window one standard width per snap so siblings keep their exact
pixels, and rubber-bands at the screen's visible frame — uncapped
otherwise; the Increase/Decrease Lane Width items (new Board menu,
Cmd-Opt-arrows) are the stepper's keyboard face and re-divide the
existing window width instead, never touching the window. Width
changes write through the new .resize WriteOperation ("Couldn't
resize…" in the banner vocabulary, which grows with the surfaces by
design); malformed width values render as one unit and stay untouched
on disk. 27 new tests port the pathfinder's resize-math suite onto

land. HostedWindowController proxies — never replaces — SwiftUI's
window delegate to intercept windowShouldClose for the flush, report
frames, and place saved frames onto live screens. Card windows are
(board path, case-folded card id) values: reopen focuses, and a
snapshot-pure fate function dismisses on delete, tombstone, tombstoned
lane, or cross-board move.

rzen 23e761120f Give transient UI state an explicit home in the store
TransientBoardState, one per store, holds state by how a reload treats
it: item-referencing sets (selection, drag membership, pending cut)
share one shape and one constraint rule — members must exist in the
current universe — applied in two directions by one primitive, so the
search filter's hidden-cards rule and reload survival are one rule
expressed once; derived state is stored as its inputs only (the query,
never its result set); and the new-card placeholder is a lane-anchored
overlay with no UUID until commit, discarded when its lane vanishes or
tombstones, handed off when the created card's UUID appears. Trash
visibility rides along per-open, never persisted. The decision is
written back into DESIGN/02 § Changes from Kanban — the TBD is closed.

Full suite 352 tests in 64 suites green. Two findings filed.

rzen 747dea552d Surface write failures — banners, locks, one modal
The banner surface as one vocabulary (Kanban/LiveStore/BannerCenter,
Kanban/UI/BannerStripView): a pure precedence rule — in-progress pinned
above the collapse (ratified mid-build), lock > breakage > one-shot
write failures > commit+attachment, signposts last — with all
user-facing phrasing owned here via exhaustive switches over the closed
WriteOperation enum; free-form English survives only in diagnostics.
performWrite posts its failures before rethrowing, so no one-shot can
bypass the strip; refusals under lock post nothing.

The lock vocabulary completes: vanishedRoot and unwritableLocation join
bracketedReloadFailed, each with its own clearing rule (unwritable
clears only on a reconciling reload's writability re-probe). The
registry now owns root recovery: bookmark re-resolution absorbs renames
transparently, a dead root locks read-only and re-arms FSEvents on the
gone path so the root's return round-trips back through rootChanged,
re-minting and re-keying on the way. DirtyBufferGuard is the one modal
moment, retry / save a copy / discard, no fourth button.

36 new tests; full suite 333 tests in 62 suites green. Five findings
filed on the Redesign board.

rzen cb86316506 Selection liveness is effective — ancestor-walked (ratified)
The parallel design session settled the tombstoned-ancestor question:
a card counts as trashed if its own flag or its lane's says so, so
tombstoning a lane ejects its cards from a live selection — they render
nowhere once the lane collapses to a single trash entry, and nothing
invisible may stay selected, drag-included, or pending-cut. One-line
predicate change in Selection.resolved(against:), plus the test.

Full BoardStore suite green (15 tests).

rzen f0e1738964 Build the board registry and per-board app state
Two registries (Kanban/LiveStore/): BoardStoreRegistry shares one live
store and one started, fully wired watcher per open board across its
windows — keyed by file identity (fileResourceIdentifier), never path,
refcounted to order teardown; release matches by store identity so a
board renamed while open can't leak its watcher. BoardRegistry persists
app-private per-board state in Application Support as diff-stable JSON:
records anchored by security-scoped bookmarks, recents = the registry
sorted by lastOpened (counts registry-cached, never scanned), graceful
orphaning with Forget, corrupt files quarantined aside, and files-first
verified — the board tree is untouched byte-for-byte. Timestamps use
ISO8601DateFormatter with fractional seconds: the FormatStyle variant
truncates-then-rounds and drifts a millisecond per round trip.

16 registry tests; full suite 297 tests in 56 suites green. Four
findings filed on the Redesign board.

rzen 2ba6989481 Align FolderWatcher with the newly ratified design decisions
The parallel design session resolved the m3 watcher findings; two
changed behavior: .git internals are now filtered at any depth (a
nested clone or submodule is a stray whose internals never render),
and a root change landing mid-bracket is owned by the root-change
path — endBracket() skips its mandatory reload once a .rootChanged
tore the stream down, cleared when a fresh stream attaches. The skip
is scoped by an explicit flag, not by stream absence: a watcher whose
stream never came up still delivers post-bracket reloads, since
distrust of FSEvents delivery is the mandatory reload's whole reason.

Two new watcher tests; full suite 281 tests in 54 suites green.

rzen 66516d38d1 Build BoardStore — one-way flow and resilient reloads
Per-board @Observable MainActor hub (Kanban/LiveStore/): watcher signals
drive off-main tree walks with a generation guard, single-flight
coalescing (strongest pending origin, watcher's merge rule), and the
resilience contract — a failed reload never replaces a good snapshot,
per-file breakage never locks editing, and a wholesale operation
(performWholesale) arms a reload-must-succeed-or-lock floor so a failed
post-bracket reload flips the board read-only until a good reload heals
it. Selection is a pure UUID-set value re-resolved on every swap;
liveness flips eject. performWrite brackets the watcher so Writer
round-trips come back app-mediated.

14 store tests; full suite 279 tests in 54 suites green. Three findings
filed on the Redesign board.

rzen cadb62564c Build FolderWatcher — FSEvents with bracketed suppression
Debounced FSEvents watcher over the board tree (Kanban/LiveStore/):
trailing 200ms debounce coalesces bursts; nestable brackets suppress
delivery and close with exactly one app-mediated reload; origins merge
reconciling > appMediated > foreign; missed-events flags degrade to a
reconciling reload; WatchRoot vanish tears the stream down (streams die
and are recreated — reattach() covers rename re-resolution); board-root
.git churn is filtered against the symlink-resolved root. The FSEvents
release callback must be top-level and non-isolated — a MainActor
closure traps in dispatch_assert_queue during stream deallocation.

15 watcher tests (4 consecutive green runs); full suite 265 tests green.
Five design findings filed on the Redesign board.
