Gap #7 blessed into 01 ▸ Malformed input ▸ Skip: the store retains the
open's skip set and every live reload's walk carries it, so a
still-broken skipped file never re-trips the reload-breakage banner. The
skip names a defect at a path, not the file — a fixed file rejoins
mid-session on its own, and a new defect at an unconsented path is
ordinary reload breakage. The notice stays the open's one-time residue;
consent lapses at close, and the next open meets the surface again.

Gap #6 ratified into 01 ▸ Malformed input ▸ The decision surface: a root
that is gone/unreadable or is a file throws immediately as a single-defect
failure — nothing to walk, nothing a surface could repair or reveal — so
it retires to the welcome failure row on every open, attended or not.
Judged per failure, not per defect (the 31fee00 refinement, ratified): an
environmental defect among repairable ones still shows the surface, and
the vocabulary keeps the unreachable-root seat for the re-walk that meets
one under a standing surface.

Ruled 2026-08-01: the width the user types in is the em-derived figure in
both of ⌘F's homes; the toolbar field's resting width is AppKit's, outside
the invariant — the transient strip never rests, so it has no collapsed
state to mirror. 03 also records the shipped grow-on-focus behavior beside
the default-item sentence.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
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: the failure class gains a
message-carrying GitOperationFailure shape beside the BoardWriteError
one — error tone, failure rank, BannerCenter phrasing. A failed undo
restore, branch switch, or pull/push presents as the failure it is,
never as a warning-tone loss row; recovery notices stay warning-tone.
Code realign pending (both reportFailure wirings post loss rows today).
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 findings-resolution ruling (Redesign card c70d7a72): the
guide-contents section now states what the shipped guide teaches NOW,
normative against the literal, edited in the same change as the literal.
The hand-maintained per-version bullets drifted within days of v6
(claiming kind and lane-trash teachings the shipped body lacked) — the
README deferred-list failure class; version history lives in git.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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 8fec5d7d): the
structured log line is the coerce-tier Defect stream's whole surface
this version; promotion to a heuristic heal or notice is deliberately
investigation-driven — a no-telemetry app has no other observer to
build for. An in-app diagnostics surface becomes WISHLIST #11 with the
typed stream as its ready plumbing. Code already conforms.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
2026-07-30 findings-resolution ruling (Redesign card 89862cef): the
mtime+size stamp the App Group implementation introduced (566deab) is
the designed mechanism, not an invention — checked before every registry
read and mutation, re-read on change, write on top of the other
edition's latest state. The microsecond check-to-write window stays
last-writer-wins, costing at most one convenience field. Deliberately no
NSFileCoordinator and no per-record split. Code already conforms.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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
User-ruled 2026-07-30: only within-container order-only rewrites (a reorder
among a lane's siblings, a lane reorder on the board, the renumber rescale)
skip the modified stamp and the modified-by clear. A move that changes the
item's container — cross-lane, cross-board, into or out of .trash/ — stamps
and clears both: which lane a card lives in is state, where it stands in
line is presentation. The trash move stops being an exception and becomes
the container rule's plainest instance. 01 scope/modified-by/Ordering/
Deletion/comments, 03 Trash, and 08's v7 bullet updated.

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
Designed with the user 2026-07-29 (Redesign card 82e2de6c, storage half; UI half remains open). A comment is a UUID folder under comments/ holding index.md + optional attachments/ — a card's anatomy one level down, every fractal rule applying verbatim. Field table: kind: comment, lenient self-reported author (content, not overlay — survives app writes), created/modified; no title, no order. Threads sort chronologically by created (ranks rejected: independent clocks across machines and trackers), flat this iteration with nesting deferred. Comment defects never refuse the board — stray posture at worst. Delete skips the trash, undoable without confirm. Copies carry the thread, reminted, stripping remote/remote-state so two local comments never claim one remote object. Comments are window-scoped, outside the board snapshot — the walk stays O(cards); the committer already protects them via whole-root staging, and composer/announcer describe foreign comment changes by path shape. Count chip on faces filed as WISHLIST #9. Schema edition-blind.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Stated 2026-07-29: when duplicate occurrences straddle live and trashed, the live one keeps the identity regardless of age — a restore done as a copy must never see the restored card withheld in favor of its trash ghost; the silent heal remints the trashed occurrence. Uniform across content duplicates, case-twins, and trashed lanes sharing a live lane's UUID.
Board: Minor card 94086f7b → Resolved. Minor lane now holds only tombstoned sweep cards.

The below-last-row rubber-band ruling (Resolved card 4ff6537d) survived two trash-section rewrites in code but not in prose; 04's origin clause now states the extent — full column height, card and lane rows alike, no dead zone.

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.

User-ruled doctrine: a defect with a reliable heal heals and moves on (non-blocking notice at most); only an unhealable defect blocks, and blocking means a decision surface — load pauses, the user chooses the fix, the fix applies, the load proceeds. The loader collects every fail-fast defect in the walk rather than stopping at the first; one aggregated surface, never a modal chain. The surface's design (decision vocabulary, aggregation, reconciliation with the welcome failure row and the loading state) is filed as its own design pass — Redesign card a82a19f1 atop Issues to Resolve.
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.

The parenthetical predated the edition split and read as base never having working Undo/Redo. Now conditioned on the provider: Pro disables on no-git and repo-nested boards; base's native stack serves every board, disabling only under locks and empty stacks.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Two rulings (2026-07-29). Copy flows that stamp descendants preflight the whole subtree and refuse loudly naming the offender — the nested-uneditable silent skip is reversed; nothing partial ever lands, and post-preflight failures clean up wholesale per the construct-then-clean precedent; whole-board forks stamp nothing and stay exempt. No-sensible-reading fallbacks now log field, path, and raw text as coerce-tier Defect-stream entries — the one silent-and-unlogged recovery joins the family posture, and the stream is where real-world shapes get promoted to heuristic heals. The doctrine both rulings flow from is now stated in the taxonomy preamble: leniency recovers recoverable issues through reliable service-owned heuristics, never accepts loss that could surprise the user, and "proceed partially, lose a little" is never a verdict.
Board: Minor cards 70b3e4ba + fcc5a70b → Resolved. Code realign queued: stampCopiedDescendant leniency → subtree preflight; FrontmatterFields fallbacks → Defect stream.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Ruled 2026-07-29, new block in 12: Pro claims the .kanban default on first launch once (the purchase is the consent; a manual reassignment back is respected; base never claims). The same board open in both apps is the designed foreign-writer story — base has no git so there is no committer contention, no board-level lock (files-first stays absolute), no gate; open-now flags go per-edition on the shared record so restoration stays edition-local, and the popover gains a pid-liveness-checked "Also open in Lanework Pro" line. The clipboard staging store homes in the App Group container, making cross-edition copy/paste full-fidelity; the degraded fallback remains for genuinely missing snapshots.
Board: Gap card 7a244f9f → Resolved (Gaps lane now empty); App Group Implementation card gains the flags/staging/handler bullets.
