Raw image data on a card window's ⌘V was a keyboard shortcut with no visible
trigger; the sidebar's Attachments header now grows a quiet control — beside
the existing add affordance, present only while the pasteboard holds a
picture this card could take — that pastes it through the exact seam the
retired branch used (ClipboardStore.pasteImage(intoCard:in:), the board's
"Paste Image into Card" row's own call). The file-URL branch stays on ⌘V; a
Finder copy is still unambiguous. CardBodyTextView's paste-yield mechanism
needed no change at all — it forwards by capability, not by picture-specific
logic, so a screenshot ⌘V with the body editor focused is now a genuine
no-op there, served by the new control instead.
The pasteboard's re-read gains a fourth checkpoint — a window becoming key —
alongside menu-tracking, ⌘-down and app activation: a persistent visible
control has to read true continuously while its window is frontmost, not
only at the instant a menu or chord probes it.

The image branch's precedence ladder always had a second clause: a file URL on the
pasteboard suppresses it, "a different gesture with a different answer" that the
code deliberately declined rather than guessed at. This fills it in: one or more
file URLs paste through the same `importAttachments` a Finder drop takes — one
collision ladder, one folder refusal (`FinderDrop.partition`), one set of banners
— outranking raw image data riding beside it (a Finder-copied image file carries
both; the actual file lands, not a re-encoded copy of its bytes) while still
deferring to the app's own clipboard type. Both ⌘V surfaces read the same
`ClipboardStore.fileURLPayload`, so the board's fallback and the card window's own
branch stay in step by construction rather than by two hand-kept-in-sync checks.
Fixed a real leak in the body editor's paste yield along the way: `public.file-url`
conforms to `public.url`, which `NSTextView` legitimately reads for a pasted
hyperlink, and `NSPasteboard.availableType(from:)` matches by conformance rather
than exact type — so a Finder copy carrying a generic URL representation beside
its file URL would have been silently swallowed as text and never reached the
window's attachment branch at all. The yield now declines outright on any
file-URL pasteboard before the generic capability check runs.

⌘V grows an image-data branch, below the app's own clipboard format and refused
outright while a file URL is on the pasteboard: a screenshot or a browser's Copy
Image lands as "Pasted Image.png" in the anchor card's attachments/, through the
very import path Finder file drops and ⇧⌘A take — one bracket, one Finder-style
collision ladder, one set of banners, and the same silence a drop's arrival has.
A card window's ⌘V pastes onto its own card; a focused text field still wins the
selector natively. A file-shaped flavor travels byte for byte, PNG preferred when
several are offered; TIFF and BMP are re-encoded to PNG, being interchange
encodings rather than files anyone wants in a folder.
The hero key gets the setter it was born owing: "Set as Hero" on any image row of
the attachment list, "Remove Hero" on the row that holds it, with menu-bar twins
so the context entry is nobody's only home. It writes as a restyle — one key, one
bracket, one invertible step on the window's own stack — and replaces rather than
refusing, because a card has one hero and the row that has it says Remove instead.
Edit ▸ Paste as Board Background is the same payload's other destination, taking
the existing background.image convention at its word: the picture into the board
folder as "Pasted Background.png", the colour subkey untouched, the generator's
overwrite-our-own-name rule inherited and its echo memo taught to tell the two
producers apart.

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.

⌘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.
