A lane folds to a fixed slim vertical strip carrying its glyph, its card-count
badge and its title turned on its side, and the strip is deliberately not part
of the window's division: the expanded lanes' units divide what is left once
each folded strip's fixed width has come off the top, so folding a lane is a
re-divide trigger of the Show/Hide Trash family — the window never moves and
the siblings grow into what the lane gave up.
The state is a first-class lane frontmatter key, `collapsed: true`, and
document state exactly as `width` is: the files are the board, so an agent
folds a lane by writing one key. Absent means expanded, expanding removes the
key rather than writing `false` (the remove-at-default family beside a
one-unit `width`, the empty rename's `title` and the None well's
`background`), and the lane's `width` rides along untouched so expanding
restores the lane the user had. The read is `width`'s leniency one type over —
a boolean scalar or a quoted boolean word reads as itself, everything else has
no reading at all and renders as expanded, bytes preserved either way.
Toggling is the header's always-visible collapse chevron, the lane context
menu's single Collapse Lane / Expand Lane row, and a plain click anywhere on
the strip; a modified click on the strip stays the ordinary selection grammar,
so a folded lane is still selectable by pointer. The title reads bottom-up and
is justified to the top of the room below the strip's chrome (owner ruling
2026-08-08), truncating against the strip's own height.
While folded the lane draws no cards at all, which is what makes every
exclusion true by construction rather than by a guard per gesture: no card
face means no marquee target and no navigation frame, and no registered grid
means the masonry's drop zones have nothing to resolve against. What did need
code is the half that names absolute destinations — the option-arrow jumps and
the arrow seed scan past a folded lane, the lane domain's down-arrow is inert
on one, and New Card skips it (a selection inside one falls through to the
last-active lane, the stale selection's rule). A drop on the strip appends at
the lane's end, cards and Finder files alike, with an accent edge standing in
for the shadow the strip has no masonry to open; there is no hover-to-auto-
expand yet. Lane reorder works on the strip, and a dragged folded lane carries
its fold, so its shadow and its replica are the strip rather than its units.
The write is `writeLaneWidths` clause for clause — one `updateIndex` bracket,
the same stamp behaviour, the same three do-nothing paths — with two new
`WriteOperation` cases and two new undo verbs rather than one of each, because
a banner or an Edit-menu row that said "resize" after Collapse Lane would name
a control the user never touched.

Step 7 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the companions. The agent guide bumps to v11: the Git section teaches repo-resident etiquette alone (stage only your own paths, commit your own changes, leave app-maintained files to the app) — existing boards heal to the new text on next open. README re-anchors: the four git feature bullets out, tiers say the complete Mac experience is free, and one bullet states the format's git-friendliness promise. The changelog drops the never-shipped git entries. DESIGN re-rules: 06 retired with Undo routing migrated to 13 (now the sole substrate's doc, seam kept open), 07 retired as written pending the ops-service workstream, 14 retired as superseded record, 12 carries the second pivot note, the index reflects all of it; the charter gets a pointer note (the anchors' full re-ruling stays with the user). InertGitTests renames to GitAgnosticStorageTests — the excision restores its original claim app-wide. And the sweep: ~70 comment sites across 36 files adjudicated against the keeper list, every present-tense description of the excised machinery made past tense or repointed, keepers untouched. 2,707 tests green.

The titlebar widget becomes a two-line identity block: the board glyph at
22pt spanning both lines, the title over the branch (git-mode only, smaller
and secondary), the em-dash retired. New Branch… returns to the switch menu
behind a divider, revealing an inline name field — the pre-split shape. The
board settings sheet retires whole: add-git and commit identity render
inline in the Git tab's postures (BoardGitSetup.swift), the availability
rule collapses into BoardGitSetupSection.resolve, and Board ▸ Board
Settings… leaves the menu bar. Where 07's remote/credential setup surfaces
land is deliberately left open — filed on the Redesign board.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
12-editions gains the dated PIVOT note: git integration is tier-independent
— every tier composes the git stack on git-mode boards — because the
base/Pro split is being re-decided and git isn't going to be it. The
subscription machinery stays built and tested but dormant; the free-only
postures (inert .git, the Pro pointer, the absent Git tab) are retired.
What the pivot does not change, recorded in 12 and 13: git stays opt-in
per board — creating a local repository is the user's choice, never
auto-initialized — and boards without app-managed git keep conventional
native undo/redo. 06 rescopes to every tier; 03's Git tab reads its
same-day membership ruling through the pivot (the strip still asks the
posture, it just never hears absent).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Minor ruled into 06 ▸ Auto-commit: a reload in flight at bracket close
clears the gate without a started-after guarantee, and the committer
deliberately does not ask — the cadence margin makes the window
academic, the post-bracket reload is unconditional, and the deadline
already accepts a near-covering snapshot; the tree is what gets staged,
so the exposure is message precision, never content. Walk-start
bookkeeping named as the escalation.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
Gap #9 ruled into 06 ▸ Rules: a board-wholesale operation asked from a
form is both rulings at once, and the form rule wins while the asking
surface is up — create-and-switch answers inline in the sheet's Branch
section, a picker-asked switch at the popover's caption, never both at
once (the sheet dismisses the popover). The banner stays the posture for
whatever outlives the asking surface — the form rule's own fallback
generalized. Banner-only-everywhere weighed and set aside.

Settled from the Redesign Minor card: SHA-256 repos are unsupported,
safely — unopenable ones take the corrupt-repo loud-failure path,
never a silent fall to mode-none; opened ones get hygiene's abstention
by construction (SHA-1 shape filter, empty work list). Recorded in 06.
No code change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: the hygiene pass never
consolidates, rewrites, or deletes existing packs — one pack per
threshold's worth of objects accrues forever, the never-rewrite
posture's price. Terminal git gc remains the consolidation path.
Recorded in 06. No code change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: loose-object pack at the 6,700
threshold (git's gc.auto default), 8 s after session activation,
background priority, skipped under contention, at most once per
session, all injectable. Recorded in 06's repo-growth bullet.
No code change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: identity writes append a plain
[user] section, never editing existing sections or tool-specific
subsections; reads take the last plain-section value, git's own
semantics — so the append always wins without reformatting anything.
Recorded in 06's identity bullet. No code change.

Two Redesign Minor settlements in 06: the popover's name/email fields
re-read repo config at 2 s only while visible (the watcher never
delivers .git, so the resync courtesy needs its own signal; focused
fields keep keystrokes); and the wholesale-bracket failure sentence
now defers to 02's hosted-by-window-of-origin rule — the card window
hosts its own strip, a ⌘Z pressed there fails there.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: popover-asked operations fail
inline at the form; board-wholesale brackets — branch switch and undo
restore named explicitly — fail as banner rows, red one-shot failures
per the same-day banner ruling. A switch's bounded lock wait can
expire long after the popover dismissed. Recorded in 06.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: the stamp clears on successful
abort only. A failed abort keeps it — the stamp is the sole evidence
the leftover is the app's own, and clearing on failure would orphan it
as somebody-else's forever. Recovery retries at next open or the 15 s
paused-state re-read. Recorded in 06. No code change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: the waiting posture stays calm,
but the wait ends — 30 s (injectable), then the clean-failure path,
tree untouched, lock path named. Only a stale lock ever reaches the
bound; an eternal spinner holding the wholesale bracket is worse.
Recorded in 06's index.lock bullet. No code change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign Minor card: no at-HEAD fast path — the
"can't change the tree" proof fails under concurrent writers, and
pending work flushes onto the branch it was made on. One sequence,
no special case; recorded in 06's Branch switching intro. No code
change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the parked Redesign Minor card, with the user: 02's
hang-avoidance doctrine and 06's ordering guarantee genuinely conflict
at noteWillWrite, and the guarantee wins — rare, bounded, load-bearing,
reentrancy-safe only in the synchronous shape. Full semantic
composition stays on the path: the commit preserving somebody else's
version keeps its real subject. Carve-out recorded in 06.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign board's Gap card: crossing a restore commit
post-relaunch emits the inverse prefix ("Undo: S" crossed -> "Redo: S")
rather than stacking "Undo: Undo: S". Semantically exact and caps
prefixes at one; cosmetic-only mislabel accepted for foreign commits
whose subjects happen to open with a prefix. Code realign pending in
the restore-subject composer.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settled from the Redesign board's Gap card: crossing the parentless root
commit could only restore the empty tree, and the root is a baseline,
not a change-set. Undo bottoms out at the initial board state; the
reseed walk stops in the same place. The shipped GitHistoryProvider
already conforms.

DESIGN/14-git-operations.md distills the settled conclusions from the
pathfinder's AI-ANALYSIS-git-operations.md so pro-m1 has a citable
in-repo source: the forward-restore model (C3/C9 — restores are new
forward commits, never reset, never force; pull's rebase of unpushed
local commits is the one deliberate rewrite), C8 as later design
settled it (no sidecar state, reseed from HEAD's first-parent
ancestry, history browser out of scope with the per-card History
section as the one carve-in), and honest call-outs of the three
leanings 06/07 settled differently (C1 substrate, A1 iCloud dual
mode, B6 cadence-as-divergence-budget). Resolves the corpus's
outstanding git-operations-doc tbd.

2026-07-30 design pass (with the user), superseding the 2026-07-27
two-app split and the 2026-07-29 App Group ruling. Rulings:
- One Mac App Store app (dev.rzen.indie.Kanban, free, 2.0 updates the
existing record); Lanework Pro = auto-renewable subscription (StoreKit
2) unlocking the git tier; libgit2 compiles in dormant. The KanbanPro
target, module-alias tests, verify-editions, UTI/About/Types twins all
retire. Teams stays deferred — probably a separate app, and never on a
shared app group.
- No grandfathering: 1.x's free git users get the inert-.git posture;
unsubscribed and lapsed are one state — histories freeze, resume on
subscribe via the committer's catch-up commit.
- Entitlement = local read of StoreKit's signed transaction store at
board-session composition; never a network call on the open path;
subscribe effective at next open (purchase flow offers reopen); lapse
never interrupts an open session; expiry-while-offline with auto-renew
on holds in grace until a real refresh.
- App Group removed wholesale: registry, clipboard staging, template
store, defaults return to ordinary Application Support; grant slots
collapse to one bookmark, open-now to one flag; freshness stamp,
pid-liveness line, group-id provisioning risk all dissolve.
- Quiet signposts carry over; Settings gains the Pro section (subscribe/
manage/restore) as the third named Pro surface.
12-editions.md rewritten as the tiers doc; edition vocabulary swept to
tiers across 00-13, README, WISHLIST.

2026-07-30 findings-resolution ruling (Redesign card d40bfac1): Finder's
⌥⌘⌫ answered disk-space pressure boards don't have, and it was the one
gesture reaching unrecoverable straight from the board. The delete
vocabulary is now purely staged: board → trash, trash → permanent
(confirmed on no-git boards), Empty Trash for bulk. Docs drop the File
menu row, both ⌥-alternate context rows, and the VO custom action; code
removal rides the session's realign card.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Ruled 2026-07-29: heal-class commits (known in-session by heal-marked EchoLedger receipts) never become undo steps — the stack pointer passes over them and restores exclude heal-owned paths, so ⌘Z never reverts a repair and never re-arms the scheduler; naive acceptance would trap a ⌘Z run on an ever-renewing heal commit, and suppression would create standing invalid states. Post-relaunch reseed stays sidecar-free, so old heal commits bounce once — restore plus fresh heal commit, the fresh one transparent, the run continuing past it. Accepted family-wide; the agent-guide quirk becomes the rule's oldest case.
Board: Gap card b444bc5c → Resolved. Pro-era implementation (pro-m1).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
General ruling (2026-07-29): app-initiated covers every reliably healable repair — unambiguous, content-lossless — because heals are auditable: Pro's separate heal commit is the durable trail, base happens quietly, and a heal that changes user content announces with a warning-tone notice, never a consent gate. The user-gated class stays defined but has no current members. Duplicate-id healing goes silent under Lanework-owns-the-board (free to re-mint UUIDs at will): no condition banner, no Repair button — a scheduled heal remints withheld occurrences (memo-guarded, disk re-verified, no-op on vanished duplicates) and posts "Repaired duplicate id — 'Fix login'". Winner rule unchanged: earlier commit on git boards, filesystem birth date then traversal order without history. 06 keeps the Repair verb as the heal commit's name; 13 moves the remint outside undo with all heals. Dissolves the Repair-has-no-Nexus-row contradiction — no command, no row owed.
Board: Contradictions card ce5e7f60 → Resolved (lane now empty); Implementation card 50ed2b5d (Active) retitled "Dedupe duplicate ids and heal them silently" and realigned mid-flight.

The 2026-07-29 lanes-trash-too ruling never swept the docs last touched 07-28. 11 ▸ Delete drops "lanes delete physically" for the card-or-lane move (freight-counting confirms in the trash); Delete Immediately widens to any card or lane selection; 06's recoverability exception covers both kinds and drops the retired 13-native-undo citation; 07 reads card and lane deletes; 02's welcome-counts exclusion restates as items in .trash/ (trashed lane subtracts from the lane count, its nested cards from the card count — the sibling Minor's ruling folded in). Context-menu row "Trash cards" renamed "Trash selection" on the same basis.
Board: Contradictions card 89a625bf + Minor card 488dc2c2 → Resolved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
User ruling on the integrity pass: a scheduled heal's batch never folds into
a commit carrying anyone else's work. The committer's two-commit split gains
a heal class keyed by heal-marked EchoLedger receipts; the composer stays a
pure diff reader and names heal commits from their own diff shape. On-touch
heals ride their host write's commit (the backfilled kind joins the
bookkeeping no-event class), inline heals batch with their gesture, and the
user-gated Repair already commits alone.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
The tombstone model is retired wholesale: deletion is a move into the reserved
<root>/.trash/, always entering at the top (rank minting — no deleted: key, no
timestamp sort), with modified stamped for the future age-based purge. Lanes
are never trashed — lane delete is physical, native undo in-session the net.
Put Back is gone: restore is drag-out or cut+paste (⌘X now enabled in the
trash as the keyboard restore path). Trash cards are ordinary cards — search,
selection, clipboard, and rendering uniform — and one container boundary
replaces the effective-liveness, ancestor-walk, and kind-homogeneity machinery
across 02 and 04. Delete stages by place (board moves, trash deletes
permanently under the recoverability confirm); legacy deleted: keys migrate
without destroying (cards relocate, lanes return live, notices). Templates
exclude .trash; Duplicate carries it; the agent guide teaches delete-as-move.
Materialized reserved lanes are named as a pattern — .archive is WISHLIST #8,
and the backed-out release-presentation question is marked open in 03.
Ruling: Redesign board Resolved card e8f1a6c2; 19 mooted tombstone-era rulings
moved to the board's new Mooted lane.

Edition split follow-through: 12-editions.md and 13-native-undo.md join the
corpus; git-era docs (06, 07) are Pro-scoped and cross-references realigned.
Resolution session rulings written in place: caret chords yield to any focused
text control (04, 11); the drop settle holds its proposal as overlay state and
02 gains the overlays family; Duplicate gets the save-panel fallback and a
cancellable copy walk (03); Finder open is a standard document open (02);
failed first opens record before loading with the folder name provisional (02);
trash pointer ranges skip by kind, full-height marquee surface, Select All by
kind, rows-only trashed universe (02, 04); Empty Trash counts entries (03);
create handoff reads as one arrival (02); range-anchor lifecycle, board-
background click grammar, jump landing cards, lane-domain shift-arrows (04);
Reduce Motion restated per voice (10).

The composer was a pure snapshot diff while the repo tracked files outside
the model (agent guide, strays, .gitignore), leaving stray-only windows
uncommittable and the guide's own subject underivable. Settled: the
committer stages the whole root with the tree as its commit condition; the
composer also receives the changed-path list, composing "Update agent
guide (vN)" (version from the marker line) and "Update '<path>'" events
that ride as body bullets under model-event subjects; attribution falls
out of the path-keyed EchoLedger.

The detached-HEAD/mid-merge pause named auto-commit, Undo/Redo, and branch
controls but left Pull, Push, and push-on-commit live — against a dirty
tree whose clean-by-pull-time invariant the held auto-commit had falsified.
Settled: the whole surface pauses; the ahead/behind badge keeps counting
since a fetch is a read.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
The trash trio had no verbs — tombstoning and purging both composed
"Delete card 'X'", erasing the moved-to-trash vs gone-forever distinction
the docs ask users to learn. Settled by diff shape alone: deleted:
appearing = Delete, clearing = Restore, item leaving the tree =
Permanently delete; plural folding keeps Empty Trash distinct from a
multi-select delete.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
06 and 10 consumed a per-file app-vs-foreign classifier that 02's component
inventory never named and whose layering prose seemed to deny. Settled: a
new EchoLedger component records each BoardWriter operation's expected
outcome (content hash / absence / move pair); final-content matching
classifies each observed file, deciding both races (byte-identical foreign
write → app-mediated, accepted; same-window foreign overwrite → foreign,
last writer wins). Ledger is in-memory and per-store; launch catch-up is
all-foreign; bracketed operations bypass it. "Trusts its own writes no more
than anyone else's" is scoped to rendering; BoardWriter's no-hidden-state
bullet stands.

Contradictions: v1 gains a minimal Settings pane (⌘,) housing the

Gaps: close/quit waits for in-flight bracketed and copy-shaped operations;
pull extends the Edit-session treatment to open raw-source buffers
(signpost + last-writer-wins Apply); File ▸ Duplicate keeps tombstones
(01's "as-is" softened to per-flow exclusions). Minor: Undo routing

Fills the gap: Save All applies each raw buffer (a validation failure
cancels the switch, focus on the offender), Discard exits without
writing, Cancel keeps everything. External checkouts remain accepted
last-writer-wins per the dirty-buffer rule.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: pull/push/switch/restore share the auto-committer's lock
posture with a visible waiting state; clean failures are one-shot
banner errors; the never-mutate rule exempts the app's own stamped
leftovers, which it aborts and reports.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: foreign commits — auto-committed agent work and agent
self-commits — push onto the in-session stack as steps, with a
pre-flight HEAD re-sync before every undo/redo. One rule in-session
and across relaunch; arriving commits clear redo.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: restores materialize only the current-vs-target diff, so
untouched Edit sessions are unaffected; a touching restore reuses the
branch-switch Save All / Discard / Cancel step. Redo symmetric;
raw-source buffers follow the branch-switch settle treatment.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the 01-vs-06 contradiction: the pure-diff composer cannot emit
'Renumber lane X' (order-only bookkeeping composes nothing), and a
renumber never happens alone — it batches with the insert/move that
exhausted the midpoint, so the commit reads as that event. 06's
bookkeeping rule now says sequence-preserving order changes are the
bookkeeping; repositioning order changes still compose Reorder.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the 06-vs-08 contradiction: 06's Lanework External fallback
demotes on true deletions only (id vanished from the board, per the
message engine's whole-board id matching), not folder moves. A bare mv
leaves the moved card unstamped, so 08 now teaches re-stamping on every
move as well as every write.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
