The card window recomposes into three componentized panes (body,
comments, attributes) with two mounts — beside or body-over-comments
at ~3:2 — behind View ▸ Comments Beside Body. View ▸ Show Comments is
one persisted app-wide bit, no content-derived auto-show; File ▸ Add
Comment flips it on and focuses the composer. The thread renders
author lines, edited markers, card-subset Markdown bodies, and
read-only Quick Look chips under a count header with the sort-
direction control. The composer edits comments/.draft/ on the slow
cadence (blur, close, quit, ~30s interval), Escape only moves focus,
⌘↩ posts. Inline edit is a body-edit session in miniature: 700ms
debounce, Save/⌘↩ commits, Cancel and Escape revert to session-start
bytes, close flushes. File drops within either authoring surface
carve out of the window-wide card default into that surface's
attachments/; paperclips cover the no-drag path. Close flush runs
inline flush, then draft save, then the comments/.trash purge;
open sweeps crash residue.

The kind: comment field table lands in IntegrityRules (the per-kind
hook's first exercise), CommentThread reads one card's thread
window-scoped (the board walk stays O(cards)), and CommentWriter gains
the five gestures: draft save, post (rename .draft to a fresh UUID,
created/modified restamped in the bracket), edit, delete into
comments/.trash/, and the purge with its crash-residue memo. Post and
delete register move-based undo steps; draft saves, edits, and the
purge deliberately register nothing (13's no-capture rule). Copy
boundaries strip comments/.trash, carry .draft verbatim, and remint
threads; comments graduates to a displacing claimed name, with .draft,
.trash, and a comment's attachments claimed one level down.
CommentPath classifies changed paths into the 06 verb family for
later announcer/composer wiring.
One stated narrowing pending a ruling (filed on the findings board):
the copy transaction's refuse-whole preflight stays cards-and-lanes —
an unstampable copied comment copies verbatim with a log line, because
comment defects never refuse.
