The colour combo was a wide two-zone field with a second door onto the Colors
panel; the symbol picker was a small square button with one. Both now subclass
one `ComboFieldControl`, so they are the same width, height, radius and trigger
by construction: click the face for the standalone picker, click the chevron for
the quick list. The symbol face opens a new floating browser over the OS's own
category, ordering and keyword plists out of CoreGlyphs.bundle — searchable,
categorised, trademark-restricted glyphs withheld.
The palette grows twelve to sixteen per table, filling the hue ring's four
widest gaps with lime, jade, indigo and magenta at each table's own saturation
and brightness. That gives the Style… popover's background grid a third row and
the tint grid its third row of four, and both grids gain an Other… row onto the
system colour picker — which the card sidebar's combo has had all along and the
primary styling surface never did. An arbitrary hex already round-tripped; it is
asserted now, including that an unquoted one is a YAML comment and no value.

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.

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
the window content background — malformed values paint nothing and
stay byte-identical on disk. 31 new tests.
