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.

Designed with the user 2026-07-29, closing Redesign card 82e2de6c (both halves). The card window recomposes as three componentized panes — body, comments, attributes — with a layout option (side-by-side default, body-over-comments for narrow displays; app-wide) and the thread visible through body Edit in both mounts. The column auto-shows when the thread is non-empty; sort direction flips at the header; the composer sits at the newest end. The composer edits comments/.draft/ — the user's idea, replacing any app-side draft store: one draft per card, ordinary comment schema with attachments, excluded from the thread, riding git/copies/trash, joining the claimed names; slow save cadence composing "Draft comment on 'X'"; posting renames to a fresh UUID and restamps created/modified in one bracket. Inline edits are body-edit sessions in miniature; no prompts anywhere. All editions ship comments — only tracker sync is Teams (matrix updated). A11y shapes in 10; menu, grammar, context-menu, and configuration rows in 11.
Board: Redesign card 82e2de6c → Resolved; Implementation card "Build comments" filed on Backlog (post-2.0).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Two stale rows left by the trash rewrites: the ⌫ grammar row now names Delete staged by place instead of the retired tombstone model, and Select All carries 04's container-boundary rule.
Board: Minor card cb3bc015 → Resolved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
10's inventory claim was right; 11 gains the rows Finder-style — hold ⌥ and Delete becomes Delete Immediately, surfacing as its own VO custom action per 10's cut. The trash needs no alternate since its Delete is already permanent.
Board: Minor card a69e5985 → Resolved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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
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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Rulings written in place: the drop settle yields to the system drag session
(fly-to-slot deferred to WISHLIST #7) and the held proposal's home is the
app-wide DragSession — rendering the arrangement means rendering the card at
release (03, 02); folder drops refuse at hover with loss-row reporting, created
cards land positionally, N shadows, header resolves topmost, shadow-only
feedback (04); the banner vocabulary gains the warning-tone loss row class
(02); all user-initiated creation clears the search (04); loose files beside a
card's index.md relocate into attachments/ with notice — files-only carve-out,
paste normalizes at the boundary, the agent guide teaches it (01, 04, 08);
dropping a card on the shown trash deletes it, shadow pinned topmost (04);
query-emptied lanes keep their slot, the out-transition stays reachable, an
open rename survives the filter, pasteboard staleness accepted (04).
The face carousel does not carry over: the pathfinder's selection-keyed dual
presentation proved undesirable — one presentation per card, selection changes
styling never geometry; the attachment chip and the card window are the whole
media story (03, 01, 10, 11; the same-day carousel settlements superseded on
their Resolved cards).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
- 02: welcome counts are live items only; failed first opens still record;
duplicate-identity registry records merge silently (newest wins);
BoardStore's FolderWatcher pointer reads "below"
- 11: lane-header new-card button inventoried (click names its target lane,
overriding 04's ⌘N rule — cross-referenced there); attachments quiet-add
affordance listed as a twin; Undo/Redo and Pull/Push rows gain the
abnormal-state pause, read-only lock, and unresolvable-remote conditions;
welcome scope added to Reveal in Finder
- 03/11: one lane context menu (header or empty space) with the full
inventory, replacing the split rows
- 09: instantiated boards are never in git mode — actual mode follows
detection at the destination (repo-nested possible)
- 08: the app never writes an existing CLAUDE.user.md; one-time rescue
creation stated as the exception
- README: pathfinder path corrected to ../../Kanban

Show Trash's ⇧⌘T collided with the Show Tab Bar item macOS injects into
multi-window apps. Settled: tabbing is kept as a system affordance (each
tab a full board window, per-board frames applying when standalone) and
Show Trash ships with no default chord, assignable via the remap path.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
The field's exits were commit-only, silently diverging from the board
rename's Escape-abandons rule, and Escape was ambiguous with the body in
Edit mode. Settled: Escape reverts to the on-disk title and focuses the
body; the collision resolves by focus per 06's first-responder routing.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
10 promised toggleable-without-pointer, 11's normative inventory had the
toggle as pointer-only, and 02's lock disabled it "via menu validation"
with no menu item to validate. Settled: checkboxes and links are real
controls in the focus/accessibility tree — FKA + Space and VO-Space toggle
them; in-content controls are content, not commands, so 04's menu-item
contract and 11's existence rule scope to commands; under the read-only
lock the controls disable in place.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Contradictions: v1 gains a minimal Settings pane (⌘,) housing the
restore-at-launch toggle; Window ▸ Welcome to Lanework inventoried in 11.
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
promoted to a real heading in 06; 11's dead "10 ▸ Actions" citation
repointed. m3 watcher findings: root-gone cancels armed debounced
delivery; mid-bracket root changes owned by the root-change path;
.git filtered at any depth; banked mid-bracket reconciles and the
200 ms debounce ratified.
- 10 cites 11 for Add Attachment and the lane-width menu items
- 04 uses ⌘/⇧ symbols for click modifiers; card moves scoped to the
⌥⌘ chord; ../WISHLIST.md path fixed
- 03 says stepper (plus the menu pair) in the editing-surfaces table
- 06 says one commit per debounce window
- 03/10 Reduce Motion lists aligned at five items; rubber-band
disambiguated as the lane-resize feedback
- 11 requires the trash shown for Empty Trash
- 02 rewords and-peers
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the contract-vs-practice contradiction: 04/10/11 now state the
menu home is what makes every board function keyboard-reachable and
remappable; 11's no-default rows are deliberate, not violations.
