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.

NSHapticFeedbackManager .alignment at propose()'s change edge — the
one funnel every retarget commits through, whose existing guards
(value-equal refusal, hold freeze) already make firings per-landing-
spot rather than per-pixel; withdrawal stays silent (losing a target
is not an alignment), and the external-file mode gets nothing. Force
Touch hardware only, silent no-op elsewhere; performanceTime .default

an injectable seam beside holdTimeout for the same reason it has one.

DragReplicaStyle spells the pathfinder's constant ambient shadow once
(black 16%, radius 2.5, y 1.5) and all three replica faces — card,
lane, trashed lane — wear it via one modifier; the ghost fans compose
from the same faces so every copy inherits it, dimmed by its own
opacity. 03 § Motion's "pickup lift (scale + shadow)" supplies the
scale from the system session but no shadow on the preview image — the
replica is the only place it can come from. BoardMetrics.replicaPadding
was already written to keep exactly this shadow from clipping and was
simply unused until now.

Modifiers were sampled only inside resolveOperation, reached from
dropUpdated and the commit — and drop callbacks arrive only while the
mouse moves, so ⌥ pressed against a still pointer changed nothing
until the next twitch. DragSession now arms a local .flagsChanged
watch for exactly the session's lifetime (begin arms, end stops, the
watchdog guarantees end; ⇧/⌃/caps don't count, a settled hold
swallows) and publishes modifierGeneration; the three retargets record
which window's surface resolved the proposal (RetargetOrigin — weak
registry identity, never board root, so cross-board and two-windows-
one-board both answer correctly), and the hovered window replays that
same retarget with the operation re-resolved FIRST, since the index
space is a function of it. The monitor is injectable — the real one
needs a live event stream no test bundle has.

DragAutoScroller.run() consumes an AsyncStream of CADisplayLink
targetTimestamps from NSView.displayLink(target:selector:) on the
lane's existing anchor view (which was already the right NSView — no
new plumbing). The stream is the lifetime: cancellation ends the
iteration, termination invalidates the link, the link releases its
target. DragAutoScrollClock keeps the retired loop's two non-trivial
rules — first tick scrolls nothing, no tick integrates past 50ms (a
paused link resumes with the whole gap as its delta) — and the math is
frame-rate independent by test: one second at the edge moves 800.0
points at 120Hz and at 60Hz alike. Run-loop mode .common is
load-bearing: a drag runs AppKit's event-tracking mode.

BoardRenderMetrics (DEBUG-only, the pathfinder's counter bag plus a
strip-body discriminator that tells a failed gate from a direct
Observation invalidation) counted at BoardView/LaneView/CardFaceView/
TrashLaneView bodies and MasonryLayout's callbacks. DragSignposts wraps
dropUpdated, retargetCards, commitDrop, and the commit-to-covering-
snapshot release pause; input latency reports honestly against
NSApp.currentEvent's mach base or labels itself base=none — no event
timestamp rides the drop path. BoardRenderPerformanceTests hosts the
real BoardView off-screen: a value-equal reload runs zero lane and zero
card bodies, a one-card edit repaints one card of 180. The lane-body
budget is <= laneCount with the headerInk chain documented and a
two-way tripwire that fails when the fix lands. Methodology in
RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md. Release build proves it all compiles out.

LaneWidthHold: after the release the session's frozen standard and the
WRITTEN unit count keep governing the strip until a landed snapshot
carries that width back — dividing the already-grown window by the
stale unit total in between was the visible two-step. A deliberately
separate type from CommittedHold: that hold stands in for an
arrangement and any landing retires it; this one stands in for a value
and only a landing that carries it will do. Echo reads through
LaneLayoutMath.displayUnits so the width-1 key-removal case compares
right; the watch rides landedReloads so a value-equal echo still
answers; width writes now return whether bytes reached disk so a
refused or no-op write dissolves the hold instead of arming it; the
1500ms timeout family covers the rest.

Drops @Observable from MarqueeTargetRegistry (MarqueeSession keeps it —
its rect genuinely renders the band). The audit found no body read
anywhere: the begin guard and sample loop read from inside the drag
gesture, the arrows from inside a key handler, so nothing ever needed
invalidating when a frame moved — while every make-room reflow had each
sliding face re-firing onGeometryChange per display frame, each write
paying Observation registrar bookkeeping on top of the reflow's own
render work (the confirmed A/B culprit of 2026-07-31). Write-gating on
drag-active was rejected: a suppressed write never replays, leaving the
band and arrows navigating stale rectangles. A tripwire test pins the
registry against anyone re-adding the macro.

RestingLayoutCache (session-scoped, @ObservationIgnored on DragSession,
cleared at begin and end) holds each lane's resting layout as ids +
heights — never [Card] — keyed on the hovered board's applied
snapshotGeneration, the registry's new heightsGeneration, the lane, and
the operation-following hidden set. The grid stays event-time on purpose
(autoscroll moves a lane's origin with the snapshot standing still), so
re-grounding rule 1 holds exactly: nothing survives a reload, only the
per-sample repetition goes. The steady-state cost of a hover is now the
containment scan plus four stores and a divide.

LaneView and CardFaceView become Equatable and are instantiated through
.equatable(): the strip's body re-runs on every drop-proposal change, and
without the gates that rebuilt every lane and every card face on every
cursor move of a drag. The == compares value inputs and window-lived
collaborator identities; the closures BoardView rebuilds each pass are
deliberately excluded (BoardDropContext.isEquivalent / MarqueeControl.
isEquivalent / CardFaceRole.isEquivalent own that judgment). Observation
reads inside the bodies still self-invalidate — the lane under the drag
keeps re-running; the other lanes stop.

`DragLocality.isSameBoard` resolved symlinks on both URLs, which stats every
path component. It ran five-plus times per `dropUpdated` and again per lane per
body evaluation through `renderedCards` → `hiddenMembers` — order of 50–100
stat calls per mouse-move, and worse on iCloud-backed paths. A pickup stall
sample had it on ~47 of 943 stacks.
`BoardRootKey` mints that canonical spelling once, where the root is, and every
locality comparison downstream is an `==` on two strings. The drag carriers hold
keys rather than URLs, so re-deriving under the cursor is no longer expressible.
`rootURL` keeps the user's spelling — the folder name is the display-name
fallback, and canonicalizing there would visibly rename a board opened through
a pin. The key follows the folder through `relocate(to:)`: a key frozen at open
would collide with a new board opened at the vacated path, and two boards
comparing as one is a cross-board drag silently behaving as a move.

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
The popover/sheet split lands: a board-scoped, titled, sectioned sheet on
the board window hosts everything setup-shaped, opened from the popover's
Board Settings… row and the new Board ▸ Board Settings… menu row. The three
existing setup controls relocate — add-git (whose noteFormVisible lines now
make the sheet the form-anchored failure surface), branch creation (a
standing field; create-and-switch runs the identical settle sequence), and
the commit-identity fields (the 2s visibility-scoped poll rides with them).
The popover keeps the daily face and its postures; its Pro/mode-none
section becomes header + door (.addGit renamed .noRepository). Availability
is derived from the section inventory (Pro + mode none or git), so pro-m2's
sections can't drift from the doors; the sheet's fields join the
caret-chord disable set. The audit suite pins what the free fixture can
reach; the sheet's own audit is manual until a tier override is ruled.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
The loader gains a ParseMemo — the previous walk's parsed documents keyed
by root-relative path, trusted on the git-index heuristic (mtime + size,
no hashing) and passed as an input so the loader stays stateless. A hit
skips exactly one file read; schema, order, coercions, dedupe, and every
directory listing run fresh, so memoized and cold walks are output-
identical (golden-corpus equivalence suite). Entries record only past the
schema gate, so a defect can never be answered from the memo.
The store skips the snapshot assignment wholesale when the fresh model is
value-equal — no @Observable churn, no render pass, no snapshotGeneration
bump — and a new landedReloads counter carries walk-completion for the
three consumers whose subject is the walk, not the snapshot: the card
window's comment thread, the comment search index, and the auto-committer's
covering gate (which now counts a completed walk as covering even when
nothing changed). Warnings and defects move on their own equality; failed
reloads bump neither counter. An injectable ParseCounter makes the
single-file-echo claim a test.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
The toolbar's search field now lives in AppKit's own NSSearchToolbarItem:
em(17) is the focused width (preferredWidthForSearchField), the resting
width is the item's own, and ⌘F becomes beginSearchInteraction — one call
that expands and focuses. Escape's empty-field exit collapses the field as
the keyboard leaves. resignsFirstResponderWithCancel is off so the staged
Escape survives the cancel button. The item ships its own live overflow row
and an above-.high visibility priority, so both custom-view workarounds
retire. The palette copy stays inert through an enablement round-trip the
item's searchField setter would otherwise overwrite.
The centering half of the card is blocked on a Design ruling (03 settles
"trailing") and is not built; the two-homes width question is filed.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Phase 3 of the decision surface, completing the card (01 ▸ Malformed
input, settled 2026-07-31). An attended open's fail-fast walk transforms
the loading window's content into one aggregated surface — never a
sheet, never a chain: defects grouped by class, each class stated once
with its files listed (Reveal in Finder + Open in Editor per row), a
class-level default preselected, per-item override behind a disclosure.
Only honest choices: YAML and malformed-schema get Editor + Re-check
(Skip below the root); newer-than-app gets Skip alone and blocks the
board at the root; the two root repairs — minted index, schema: 1 stamp
— are defaults. Repair and Open applies fixes in one store-less write
bracket and re-walks: clean proceeds, remainder re-aggregates into the
same surface. Cancel and ⌘W retire to welcome's row; restored opens
never see the surface at all (OpenOrigin rides the PendingOpen carrier).
Skips are per-open consent that rides the session — the store retains
the skip set and every reload passes it — and the opened board posts a
warning-tone notice naming what was left out, each item's Reveal riding
the banner strip's new reveal control. On Pro boards the repair bracket
binds its own EchoLedger, heal-marks everything, and the store adopts it
before the committer starts, so repairs land as one separate commit
authored Lanework Integrity — pinned end to end. Also fixed en route: a
retired loading window left its close interception installed and
returned false from windowShouldClose forever, blocking quit.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Phase 2 of the decision surface: the pre-snapshot loading state ruled
2026-07-29 (02 § Launch and window lifecycle), built. The board window
appears immediately at its saved frame, titled with the registry
record's cached name, its content a centered spinner behind an
injectable ~200ms grace — no skeletons, and the first snapshot snaps in
place. The tree walk runs off-main via BoardStoreRegistry.acquireOffMain
(per-board single-flight keyed by file identity — concurrent opens of
one root share a walk, restoration of many boards is genuinely
parallel), landing in BoardStore's new designated init(rootURL:loaded:);
the self-walking init survives as a convenience for its ~470 callers.
⌘W during the walk is real: configureWindow split into a loading half
(frame restore, frame tracking, close interception — installed before
the walk) and a store half (toolbar, widget, hideTitle, undo — installed
at the snap), and the walk lives in an explicitly held BoardOpenWalk so
the user's close and SwiftUI's teardown end in one cancel().
Cancellation is discard-on-completion: nil from acquireOffMain means
nothing was built, nothing retained, and no open-now flag was ever set.
Failure keeps today's sequence exactly: record the launch failure,
welcome's row carries it, the window retires.

Phase 1 of the decision surface (01 ▸ Malformed input, settled
2026-07-31): BoardLoadFailure aggregates the walk's defects in walk
order — stop-at-first retires. Environmental failures (unreadable root,
not-a-directory) stay immediate single-defect throws: there is no walk
to collect from. A defective root index is recorded and the walk
continues into the children (nothing in the walk consults the parsed
root document — verified); a defective lane, card, or trash-entry index
records and skips its subtree, Re-check's whole-walk re-aggregation
being the designed loop for what hides beneath. load(skipping:) is the
per-open skip channel: a skipped path's item is omitted from the model
and surfaces as LoadWarning.userSkipped; root paths are unskippable by
construction. The reload-breakage banner carries the aggregate ("…and
N more"), single-defect sentences byte-identical to before. Two new
multi-defect fixture boards; suite 2591 green.

The titlebar widget grows from a 20×18 chevron into one button saying
the board's name and, on a git-mode Pro board, its branch — click
anywhere across it and the popover opens as before, anchored to the
widget. BoardInfoTitlebarSummary is the pure seam for both strings
(title falls back to the folder name per 01's naming rule; branch only
under pro + git mode, live off the observable HistoryStore.branch).
Board windows now hide the system title display through the same
hideTitle slot card windows adopted — the widget says the name, so the
chrome would only repeat it — while navigationTitle keeps feeding
window.title to the Window menu, Exposé, VoiceOver and restoration.
The widget also refreshes the branch eagerly at appearance: it used to
populate only once the popover had been opened, which would have left
the new branch line empty on a freshly opened board.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
The card's name renders as part of the card body, so the chrome said it
twice. HostedWindowController gains a titleVisibility slot on the same
retained-slot pattern as the accessory and toolbar (reapplied at attach,
so the macOS 26 provisional-window swap can't lose it); CardWindowHost
opts in beside installToolbar, board windows keep AppKit's default.
window.title itself is untouched — navigationTitle still feeds the
Window menu, Exposé, VoiceOver and restoration.
Known consequence, probed empirically: under .hidden AppKit collapses
title and subtitle into one hidden field, so the "board › lane"
navigationSubtitle disappears with it — and the details sidebar carries
no placement rows, so a card window currently shows its home nowhere.
Filed on the Redesign board to bless or relocate; 05-card-window.md's
subtitle sentence needs reconciling either way.

The modifier flip (⌥ copy / ⌘ move) now reflows the source board once:
a copy re-admits the dragged originals into the resting layout, standing
dimmed in place, and a move lifts them out as before. This retires
DRAG-REORDER.md's operation-blind carve-out and makes 04-interactions.md's
"originals stay" true in flight, not just at echo. The one seam is
DragSession.hiddenMembers reading the observed operation.
Consequences carried honestly: copyCards now takes its index in the
lane's full rendered space (the zones counted the originals, so the
geometry's number is the writer's number — the old neighbour remap is
deleted); resolveOperation freezes under the committed hold exactly as
propose does, fixing a real bug where a settled within-board ⌥-copy drew
the move arrangement until the echo and visibly re-shuffled. Stationary
flips still wait for the next dropUpdated (their own Backlog card).

The full bullet list from Implementation card bf080d9a — both ruling
batches, including the three appended mid-session by 16ef377:
- Restore subjects compose the inverse, never nest: crossing "Undo: S"
emits "Redo: S" and vice versa; parity, not stack depth, reads a
legacy double prefix (GitHistoryProvider.restoreSubject).
- Git-operation failures join the one-shot failure banner tier:
BannerCenter.GitFailureBanner (undo/redo/branchSwitch/addGit), error
tone at failure rank merged with write one-shots by recency; the
postLoss compromise is retired at both AppModel wirings.
- order/schema optional below the board root: append-at-end reading
(ordered siblings first, folder-name tie-break among the order-less),
schema reads 1, both coerce-tier logged; the root keeps its
requirements. Ranks.resolvedOrders materializes finite ranks so
models and placement math stay untouched; first Writer rewrite
stamps a real rank on touch, placement against an order-less sibling
stamps that sibling inline in the same bracket. Agent guide v10
teaches optional keys and zero-read filing. Hostile-YAML order
shapes become coercion tests; Fixtures/Valid/optional-keys.kanban
replaces the four retired Malformed boards.
- .gitignore is the relocation-heal noise gate: GitignoreRules pure
matcher (standard semantics, board-root file only), loader consults
it once per walk so matched loose files keep the stray posture;
seeded (.DS_Store + .*.lanework-*) at board creation and template
instantiation, healed in when missing at open — repo-nested
included; empty file honored, existing files never edited; the
committer's obedience via libgit2 status is pinned by test.
- Comments crash-residue sweep gates on step ownership: HistoryStep
derives backing from its own undo expectations, backedContent unions
both stacks, the sweep purges per-entry only what no live step owns.
- Skip-purge decoupled (16ef377): a stale-skipped coarse step strands
whole in NativeHistoryProvider.strandedSteps — still backing, retired
only at session end; clean exits purge as before.
- Coarse close step named "Changes to '<card>'"; the fine body-edit
wording never leaks onto the board menu.
- Branch-switch settle clears every open card window's fine stack on
Save All and Discard alike; the empty fold registers no coarse step.
- Close flush awaits its covering snapshot (quiesce + one generation
bump, 1s bound), and an explicit flush now queues behind an
in-flight one instead of skipping — the audit-caught interleaving
could lose a close flush permanently when the debounce fired inside
the close sequence; regression tests force both races.
- Commit comment bullets sort chronologically by created, not UUID.
- The production-unwired CardBodyEditSession.editSessionDidChange seam
is deleted with its seam-only tests.
- Composition-root pins: beginSession composes the committer with the
store's own EchoLedger and binds the announcer (the miswire class).
- Deliberate 06 conformance pass over every 2026-07-31-tagged
sentence: fixed Change-custom-key subjects (the retired named
generic was the only producer), the unbuilt Replace attachment
vocabulary, heal commits now authored Lanework Integrity, the config
reader scopes identity to plain [user] sections, add-git re-runs
detection at create (a stale mode-none could initialize inside the
user's repo), and add-git failures answer at the form or the banner.

Repo-nested boards bind native undo in every tier (25d2513): the
no-undo case is gone, makeHistoryProvider answers git or native, and
the native path provably never touches the enclosing repository's
.git. Session undo steps anchor by card identity, never by path
(9119aa1): HistoryAnchor carries the card UUID (plus comment/draft
vocabulary) and apply-time validation resolves the current folder via
the same both-container walk writeCardBody uses — a board-side lane or
trash move no longer stales the coarse close step, while a genuine
field collision still skips it whole.

Phase C of the two-level undo card: the committer stages around the
whole open card folder — comments included — so gestures in an open
window never land in interim commits; window close flushes the session
as one semantically-named commit ("Edit card 'X'" with the thread as
body bullets, "Mixed update — N changes to card 'X'" when events mix),
with the two-commit foreign/user split preserved and the
comments/.trash purge riding the same bracket. Comment gestures lose
their per-gesture commits structurally (they write inside the held
folder). Branch-switch settle releases every window's staging before
checkout and re-arms on resume.
Fixes two latent pro-m1 defects: the committer was composed without
the store's EchoLedger, so every production commit classified foreign
and was authored Lanework External; and interim flushes dropped
harvest receipts they had not spent, unvouching the session's own
writes at close. Also lands 06's mixed-subject re-ruling (the retired
"Update board" fallback) and phase B's two files missed by the
previous commit's pathspec.
2444 tests in 422 suites green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Phase B of the two-level undo card: every card-window gesture — comment
post/delete/edit, body Edit sessions, style and details changes —
registers fine-grained on the window's own stack (window.undoManager
answers with it; board ⌘Z never sees mid-session card steps; an empty
window stack beeps, never falls through). Window close folds the stack
into one coarse values-based board step ("Edit card 'X'") — per-target
per-field later-wins merge, so foreign mid-session writes stay out by
construction, a no-net-change session registers nothing, and any stale
component skips the whole step. The comments/.trash purge defers with
the coarse step via a step-retirement seam on the providers: it runs
when the step leaves the board stack or the board session ends; the git
provider retires dropped steps on register, which keeps Pro's
purge-at-close-flush structural with no tier check. Interim on git
boards: gestures still auto-commit per debounce until phase C's
close-flush commit.

The 2026-07-31 re-ruling: gitless boards bind the native stack in every
tier — a Pro upgrade no longer removes undo from mode-none boards — and
Pro git boards bind the git provider; repo-nested stays the no-undo
case under Pro, while the free tier (which never runs detection) binds
native there too, per 12's inert posture. Add-git now swaps a live
native substrate mid-session: the in-flight stack is cleared with the
discarded provider, the git trail seeds from the root commit, and the
same BoardUndoManager instance keeps nil-target menu validation fresh.
