The pathfinder's catalog transcribed verbatim as real board folders —
lane titles, icons, palette colors, board icons, and blurbs read
straight from its BoardTemplate.all, every color already in the
palette, no invented fields, no starter cards it never had. Basic had
drifted from the source in the engine card's version: it carried
icon/iconColor keys the pathfinder's key-less Basic never wrote
(visually identical via the fallback, byte-level wrong) and a
rewritten blurb — both restored. Orders run 100 to 1000 in inventory
order, Basic first; fresh lane UUIDs, gapped ranks, one consistent
timestamp; the discovery test now pins all ten slugs, lane counts,
Basic's primacy, and distinct ascending orders through the real
loader.

A template is a board folder the ordinary loader reads — no second
schema, no Swift catalog. BoardTemplate became exactly that: a loaded
BoardModel with chooser-facing derivations, the lane-title stub gone.
TemplateEngine instantiates by the copy-remint-restamp walk: .git and
.trash excluded at top level only — both names mean something at a
board root and nowhere else, and .gitignore must survive — every
materialized folder reminted, created/modified stamped fresh (born
today, not forked), modified-by cleared, the template: key carried
inert, the blurb and style inherited, and loose card files normalized
at this import boundary per the paste precedent so a new board never
opens with a notice about a mess its own birth made. Legacy deleted:
keys copy through verbatim to the one migrator — stripping would
resurrect, skipping would destroy. Atomicity is construct-then-clean:
a sibling temp can be sandbox-refused and a cross-volume rename is
just a second copy, so the call removes what it created on every
non-board exit and never touches an occupied destination. The
cancellable per-item walk extracted into BoardTreeCopy serves
Duplicate and instantiation with two parameters — top-level exclusions
and folder-attribute carriage, the only axes they differ on.
