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 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.
Structural residue filed on the Redesign board.

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.

01's Lanework-owns-the-board carve-out: a regular file beside a card's
index.md belongs in attachments/, and the app moves it there. The
loader detects read-only — a new LoadResult.looseCardFiles channel,
separate from the stray-tolerance warnings because it says the opposite
thing — skipping directories, symlinks, hidden entries, and the
reserved names compared case-insensitively (on APFS, Index.md IS the
index). The relocation rides one performWrite bracket at the tail of
every successful reload, which makes lock deferral free: the reload
that lifts a read-only lock is the reload that relocates. A
lane/card/filename memo keeps a failing relocation from hot-looping —
one one-shot, then silence until disk changes. The notice rides the
loss-row class, phrasing folded by BannerCenter (one file, one card's
files, a multi-card sweep), naming original filenames per the
importAttachment rule. Paste normalizes at the import boundary: staged
snapshots' loose files land in the pasted card's attachments silently,
every arrival path declaring its side via an explicit
normalizingLooseFiles parameter — drag paths decline and fall back to
the destination's own carve-out. checkIsCardFolder closes the hole
where a lane's notes.txt would have been relocated: card depth is
exact, UUID under UUID.

Files from Finder land on the board per 04-interactions.md § Drag & drop:
- Dropped on a card, they copy into its attachments/ (any type, multi-file),
the face highlighting while hovered; the hovered card is resolved by
hit-testing the same analytic masonry frames the card zones are built
from, so attach-beats-create adds no drop region and cannot drift from
the dispatch.
- Dropped on lane empty space, one card per file — filename minus extension
as the title (a blank stem omits the key), fresh GUID, rank at the drop
position through the ordinary insertion machinery, the file attached —
all in one bracket; a failed import removes the just-minted card, so
creating-then-abandoning never leaves an empty card behind.
- Every board drop surface now declares .fileURL beside the two board
types (the single-target-dispatch rule); tombstoned surfaces are inert;
file sessions ride a distinct session mode with their own watchdog and
no hysteresis, leaving the board-drag machinery untouched.
- Also: four empty fixture directories pinned with .keep files so git
preserves them, and a test-only visibility fix in DragSessionTests.

The card face becomes real: leading SF Symbol (card default doc.text,
tinted by a valid hand-written iconColor — schema yes, control no),
title or the quiet untitled placeholder, and a quiet paperclip when
the card has attachments — title-only by design, no body excerpt.
Color is the settled K1 edge accent, not a fill: background paints a
4pt stripe down the left edge, resolved through the ported pathfinder
palette (12 icon tints + 12 backgrounds carried over verbatim, plus
raw #RRGGBB[AA]); anything unresolvable paints nothing and stays on
disk exactly as written. The snapshot now carries each card's flat
attachment names — the loader's one read inside a card folder, shared
with the Writer's listing so the m5 carousel and m6 sidebar can never
disagree on order (Finder order, the Writer's existing comparator).
The face keeps its top-aligned structure so the sole-selection
carousel can expand inside the card without moving masonry neighbors.

Accept liberally, emit conservatively (764a4d4): the gate is 8-4-4-4-12
hex in any case and any UUID version — uuidgen and UUID().uuidString
print uppercase, and a strict lowercase gate would silently stray an
agent's standard-tool card. Identity comparison is UUID-value equality
everywhere: ItemID keeps its byte-faithful rawValue but equates and
hashes on the lowercased canonical form, and the writer's
import-boundary collision check canonicalizes, so a same-UUID arrival
spelled in another case remints instead of slipping past. The app still
mints only lowercase v4 and never renames to canonicalize.

18 golden fixture boards as real on-disk trees under Fixtures/ — ten
valid/tolerated cases (rich board, interrupted create, non-UUID strays,
stray files, tombstones, tie-breaks, unknown-key order, coercion,
last-wins duplicates, board-level deleted) and eight fail-fast cases,
each pinned to its exact error reason and path; the rich board's whole
tree round-trips byte-identically. Pins two contract subtleties now
recorded in the design: tombstone flags are not inherited (renderers
walk ancestors) and last-wins resolves before order strictness. README
gains the storage-foundation feature entry. 146 tests total.
