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.
Structural residue filed on the Redesign board.

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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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.

The trash sorts by modified descending — the arrival rank mint retires
(Ranks.isOrderedForTrash one comparator, loader + merged order agree;
the legacy deleted: migration stamps modified from the tombstone
timestamp where parseable; delete undo steps validate existence-only;
agent guide v8). Trash selection goes kind-blind — ranges, marquee,
Select All, and the successor walk sweep both kinds; the guard moves to
the exits (mixed-payload drop refusal, copy/cut validation). The copy
stamping preflight widens back to comment depth (load-scoped posture —
the board always loads, the gesture refuses whole). Fixes a latent
no-op: trashed-lane drag restore never fired (DragSession.beginLanes
hard-coded the board container).

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

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

Settled from the Redesign Minor card: loose-object pack at the 6,700

Settled from the Redesign Minor card: identity writes append a plain

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

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

no special case; recorded in 06's Branch switching intro. No code
change.

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.

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).

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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Add-git seeds a minimal .gitignore (.DS_Store) before the initial
stage — the seed rides "Initial board state" and .DS_Store never
enters history; an existing .gitignore (or a directory wearing the
name) is left alone forever, adoption and repo-nested seed nothing.
GitHousekeeping is the periodic loose-object repack: filesystem
enumeration of objects/<2hex>/<38hex> (never git_odb_foreach, which
would rewrite the whole database into a fresh pack each pass),
git_packbuilder_insert one oid at a time, additive pack write — and
deletion only after each oid is re-verified against the written
pack opened as a standalone one-pack odb with no loose backend. Any
failure returns before deleting; the worst case is a stray pack.
Nothing prunes, expires, or consolidates — existing packs
accumulate, recorded as the accepted cost of never rewriting
storage the app didn't write. GitHousekeeper schedules it: git's
own 6700 threshold, 8s after session activation (outlasting the
launch catch-up), background priority, skipped under pause states,
held locks, or an in-flight commit, never retried — the next open
tries again. Free tier composes none of it.
20 new tests: full-odb equality, per-oid survival, identical walks,
byte+mtime-identical refs/HEAD/working tree, whole-.git identity on
every declined pass, and deleting-never-forgets. 2394 tests / 412

GitBranchSwitcher holds 06's sequence as one object: settle editors
explicitly (SessionSettleGate — Save All applies raw buffers with
validation and a refused buffer cancels the whole switch; Discard
reverts buffers AND reconciles the session folders against HEAD;
never silent), flush the pending auto-commit, stamp intent in the
per-board registry, bracketed safe checkout (git_checkout_tree
GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE + set_head — no path passes FORCE, abort
included), one reload via the async wholesale bracket (failed final
reload engages the existing read-only lock), reseed undo/redo from
the new HEAD with redo empty, clear the stamp. Create-and-switch
keeps the full sequence — the tree-cannot-change proof fails under
concurrent writers. Lock contention shows the 02 in-progress row's
waiting state ("waiting for another writer's git lock"), bounded at
30s then failing cleanly naming the lock path.
GitOperationStamp + GitOperationRecovery: the own-leftovers rule as
a pure conjunction — pause state AND matching stamp = the app's own
interrupted operation, aborted to the pre-operation state with a
banner, stamp cleared on success only; either alone defers to the
pause-and-defer stance. Checked where the committer starts.
BoardGitControls replaces the read-only branch line: branch picker,
inline create-and-switch, the abnormal-state pause note in 06's own
words with controls dimmed, and commit-identity fields that read and
write repo-local .git/config (derived default as placeholder, never
value; unfocused resync, focused keystrokes kept; 2s poll while
visible — .git is watcher-filtered by design).
Also fixes a shipped bug from the undo card: plan(reconciling:)
matched card ids as path prefixes, so the reconcile branch was inert
on every board (<lane>/<card> never matches a bare id) — a session
file the restore diff couldn't name (attachment, comment, draft)
survived Discard and landed in the next flush's commit. One shared
component-exact folder-name resolver now serves both Discard paths;
noteDiscarded takes cardFolderName; regression test verified failing
against the pre-fix code.
41 branch tests + the regression; 2374 tests / 409 suites green;
InertGitTests untouched.

GitHistoryProvider is the second HistoryProviding implementation:
its stack IS HEAD's first-parent ancestry, reseeded on load (redo
empty), re-synced to HEAD before every crossing so agents'
self-commits become the top and ⌘Z steps back exactly one commit;
any arriving commit clears redo (a heal-only window deliberately
does not). Restores are forward commits through the ordinary
signature path — GitRestoreOperation materializes only the
current-vs-target diff as working-tree writes and resolves no
reset/checkout symbol at all; heal commits are transparent
in-session (pointer passes over, restores exclude heal-owned paths,
identity carried on landed windows via PlannedCommit.kind →
GitLandedCommit). Subjects "Undo:/Redo: <crossed subject>"; menu
labels never nest in-session; the root commit is not a step
(crossing it would restore the empty tree).
Provider binding flips: makeHistoryProvider(store, tier, git) —
free binds native everywhere, Pro binds the git provider on git
boards and NOTHING on mode-none/repo-nested (the pair disables
through existing validation); add-git mid-session live-binds via
HistoryStore.didAddGit → bindHistoryProvider (the flip only ever
adds).
SessionSettleGate is the reusable Save All / Discard / Cancel step:
restores whose diff touches an open Edit session or raw-source
buffer gate on it (Save All applies with validation — a refused
buffer cancels the whole restore focused on the offender; Discard
reverts via CardBodyEditSession.discardBuffer and reconciles against
the working tree, deliberately skipping the second flush); untouched
sessions ride through undisturbed. Built for the branch-switch card
to reuse. BoardStore gains the async performWholesale sibling.
CardHistorySection fills the m6 EmptyView slot: read-only, newest
first, follows the card across lane moves by folder-component match
(the UUID is the identity — no rename detection), absent off git
mode and off Pro.

CommitMessageEngine replaces the interim composer as the wired
default: a pure total function from two snapshots + changed paths to
a message. Full vocabulary — Add / Delete / Move / Rename / Edit /
Restyle / Resize / Reorder over cards, lanes, board; Attach / Remove;
Repair for the duplicate remint (detected as a heal-classed
rename-paired arrival whose id the previous snapshot never held —
the loader withholds duplicates, so the shape is a bare arrival);
the trash triple by diff shape alone (into .trash = Delete, out =
Restore, leaving the tree = Permanently delete); Relabel / Assign /
Set due date plus the named generic for custom keys. Plural folding
with shared destinations, implied events as body bullets never
subjects, ~40-char subject truncation, "(untitled)". Bookkeeping
(sequence-preserving renumbers, stamps, backfilled kind) composes
nothing. Non-snapshot paths compose path-shaped events — CLAUDE.md
reads "Update agent guide (vN)" via the marker line (the m10 card's
deferred bullet lands here), everything else "Update '<path>'".
The comment verb family per 01's ruling (comments shipped, so 06
gains the verbs): Comment on / Edit comment on / Delete comment on /
Draft comment on / Permanently delete comment on '<card>', grouped
one event per comment folder, classified ahead of the model-silence
rules, card title resolved from either snapshot. GIT_DELTA_ADDED is
surfaced as GitChangedPath.isArrival — post vs edit is unanswerable
from snapshots that exclude comments by ruling. A card moving with
its thread swallows the comment events (implied-events one level
down).
The previous snapshot is HEAD's tree, materialized per flush into a
temp dir (index.md blobs in full, other blobs zero-byte — the model
reads attachment names, never bytes) and re-parsed through the one
BoardLoader; never a value carried forward. changedPaths is a hard
filter per split commit, which also earns the stage-around and kills
phantom events. Launch catch-up and foreign windows compose through
the same engine.

Every settled change on a git-mode board commits, debounced 2s past
drag/typing churn, staged whole-root with .gitignore respected.
GitCommitOperation reaches the vendored libgit2 directly (same 1.9.2
pin SwiftGitX resolves — importable, not duplicated) for
signature-capable commits; add-git's config materialization is gone,
identity resolves at commit time (repo-local config, else derived
default) per the 2026-07-31 ruling in 06. CommitAttribution
classifies per file off EchoLedger receipts: user identity on
app-mediated windows, Lanework External <[email protected]>
on foreign, the modified-by refinement (<slug>@agents.lanework
.invalid) when every foreign file agrees, heal-marked receipts split
into their own commit — window split foreign → heal → user.
Edit-session granularity: ~700ms saves stay uncommitted, staging
excludes open session folders (closure-resolved so mid-session moves
stage around the new location), session end nudges the debounce so
each session lands exactly one body commit. Flush-before-overwrite
gates on known-foreign windows and commits synchronously ahead of
the write; close/quit flush the pipeline via CloseFlushCoordinator's
committerFlush. index.lock backs off briefly then re-debounces
silently; clean tree no-ops; genuine failures ride the standing
history-suspension banner and retry next debounce. Abnormal repo
states (detached HEAD, merge/rebase/cherry-pick in progress) hold
the engine with a 15s re-check; unborn HEAD commits "Initial board
state" whole-tree; dirty tree at open catches up through the same
engine. Message seam (CommitMessageComposing) ships interim — the
semantic composer is the next card.
Discovery diffs HEAD against an in-memory index with rename
detection (git status alone never pairs a bare mv), and a failed
survey reads as "could not look", never "nothing changed".

The pro-m1 foundation card. SwiftGitX 0.4.0 (bundled libgit2, the
pathfinder's pin) joins the one target; new Kanban/Git/ holds
BoardGitMode (pure nearest-.git-wins detection, .git-as-file counts,
NSString ancestor walk), HistoryStore (@MainActor @Observable;
compose() is the tier gate — free tier gets no object, no detection,
no stat), GitRepository (scope-confined SwiftGitX handles: create =
init + HEAD forced to main + whole-tree "Initial board state" commit;
branch reads incl. unborn/detached; path-history ranks), GitIdentity
(derived default as a pure function + repo-local config reader — not
libgit2's merged ladder), and GitPathHistory (Mutex-guarded lazy
ranker). beginSession composes the git state beside the tier and
feeds BoardStore.makeIdentityHistoryRanker; git-mode loads pass the
git-backed IdentityHistoryRanker to BoardLoader. The popover's git
slot resolves a pure five-way matrix: free tier unchanged (absent /
BoardGitNote), Pro mode-aware — Add Git on mode none, honest prose on
repo-nested, read-only branch line on git. Provider binding
unchanged: both tiers still bind native until the undo/redo card.

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.

Replaces the pathfinder-inherited round-robin deal (child i -> column i % C)
with contiguous column segments: base = n/C, the first n%C columns take one
more, and logical order runs down each column before crossing to the next.
Only the geometric mapping changes -- ranks, selection flatten, and VoiceOver
order are untouched, and MasonryPlacement stays the single placement function
both the Layout and the drop model replay.
Why: an insertion under round-robin shifted every later card across columns;
under the column-major deal later cards slide within their column and at most
one card crosses each boundary, so the drag reflow is far calmer. Drop-slot
math gets simpler too -- a column's cards are one contiguous range, a
non-final column's tail is now a genuine mid-list position, and only the last
column's tail means append.
DropSlotMathTests recomputed and extended (46 -> 50): the uneven-fill deal,
boundary positions, the shared tail/head boundary index, and a placement/
drop-model shadow-agreement check. DRAG-REORDER.md and DESIGN/10 amendments

The per-element .accessibilitySortPriority read slots.count from inside the
ForEach closure, re-running the whole slots -> renderedCards chain (an O(n)
card filter plus the session's hidden-member resolution) once per element --
O(n^2) per lane body. A drag pickup runs a synchronous whole-board layout
inside the drag-start nested run loop, which multiplied this into a stack-
sampled ~700ms-1s stall between mouse-down and the visible lift. Hoisting
the evaluation into a local makes pickup effectively immediate.

Board search reaches comment bodies through a search-owned transient
index: the first live-query keystroke sweeps comments/*/index.md
off-actor (.draft and comments/.trash excluded), keystrokes re-filter
in memory, the index discards on clear — the snapshot stays O(cards).
⌘F routes by focus: the comments pane gets an app-owned find bar
spanning the whole rendered thread (next/prev cross rows with
wraparound); body and composer keep NSTextFinder; Find Next/Previous
graduate from FutureCommands. Foreign comment changes speak
path-shaped beside the announcer's ladder ("New comment on 'X'",
plural folds), narrowed by EchoLedger receipts consumed through
CommentPath.classify — and that read fixed a latent footprint bug
where a comment receipt resolved against the card's attachment
listing, read .absent, and classified the user's own write as
foreign. The pane completes its a11y story: flattened comment
elements with Edit/Delete/Reveal custom actions (un-flattening
during inline edit), phrase-table vocabulary, labeled composer and
sort control, and an audit over the open pane on a comment-seeded
fixture (runnable only where automation permission exists).

The card window recomposes into three componentized panes (body,
comments, attributes) with two mounts — beside or body-over-comments
at ~3:2 — behind View ▸ Comments Beside Body. View ▸ Show Comments is
one persisted app-wide bit, no content-derived auto-show; File ▸ Add
Comment flips it on and focuses the composer. The thread renders
author lines, edited markers, card-subset Markdown bodies, and
read-only Quick Look chips under a count header with the sort-
direction control. The composer edits comments/.draft/ on the slow
cadence (blur, close, quit, ~30s interval), Escape only moves focus,
⌘↩ posts. Inline edit is a body-edit session in miniature: 700ms
debounce, Save/⌘↩ commits, Cancel and Escape revert to session-start
bytes, close flushes. File drops within either authoring surface
carve out of the window-wide card default into that surface's
attachments/; paperclips cover the no-drag path. Close flush runs
inline flush, then draft save, then the comments/.trash purge;
open sweeps crash residue.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
The kind: comment field table lands in IntegrityRules (the per-kind
hook's first exercise), CommentThread reads one card's thread
window-scoped (the board walk stays O(cards)), and CommentWriter gains
the five gestures: draft save, post (rename .draft to a fresh UUID,
created/modified restamped in the bracket), edit, delete into
comments/.trash/, and the purge with its crash-residue memo. Post and
delete register move-based undo steps; draft saves, edits, and the
purge deliberately register nothing (13's no-capture rule). Copy
boundaries strip comments/.trash, carry .draft verbatim, and remint
threads; comments graduates to a displacing claimed name, with .draft,
.trash, and a comment's attachments claimed one level down.
CommentPath classifies changed paths into the 06 verb family for
later announcer/composer wiring.
One stated narrowing pending a ruling (filed on the findings board):
the copy transaction's refuse-whole preflight stays cards-and-lanes —
an unstampable copied comment copies verbatim with a log line, because
comment defects never refuse.

Phase 3 of the one-app pivot (DESIGN 12 ▸ The entitlement / Distribution,
ruled 2026-07-30; card c3a3ddd5). New Kanban/Tier/: Tier (.free/.pro —
deliberately no .lapsed case; unsubscribed and lapsed are one state) and
the pure decision Tier.resolve(from:now:) over SubscriptionFacts
(expiration + willAutoRenew), unit-tested through all five named states:
free, active, lapsed, offline-grace, never-online.
The facts are a persisted cache (standard defaults), not a live view:
StoreKit ages an expired subscription out of currentEntitlements locally,
so an offline device and a real lapse are indistinguishable from that
property alone — the cache holds the last answer, empty entitlements
read as silence, and holds end only on a definitive answer (revocation,
or the subscription-group status read Settings performs). That is 12's
offline-grace trade, resolved toward the paying user.
ProEntitlement is the local adapter (currentEntitlements +
Transaction.updates, started from launch, never from a test host);
ProStorefront holds everything networked (product load, purchase,
AppStore.sync) and only the Settings section ever constructs one — the
split is the enforcement of "never network on the open path".
beginSession reads the tier once at composition; BoardSession.tier is a
let with no path back in, so a lapse never rebinds an open session.
makeHistoryProvider now takes the tier; both tiers bind the native stack
until pro-m1 builds the git provider — the seam's consumer is named, not
invented early.
Settings gains the Pro section (subscribe with localized price, manage,
restore; a quiet unreachable line, no indefinite spinner) — the third of
the exactly-three Pro mentions; the About line gains its "…in Settings"
pointer now that there is a Settings to point at. A successful purchase
or restore offers once to reopen open boards (close + reopen through the
ordinary paths). Configuration.storekit wired into the scheme's run
action for ASC-free exercise; RELEASE.md gains the pro-m1 store-side
steps and the rule that the product must not be configured before then.

Phase 2 of the one-app pivot (DESIGN 12 ▸ App-side state, re-ruled
2026-07-30; reworks 566deab). AppGroup retires; what remains is
AppStateHome — ordinary sandbox Application Support as the one home for
the registry, clipboard staging and template stores, keeping the
unit-test-host redirect (the test host is the app and would sweep real
state). Scalar defaults return to UserDefaults.standard.
BoardRecord's per-edition grant slots and openNow flags collapse to one
bookmark + one isOpenNow; the legacy-key decode and adopt-in-memory
paths go (nothing shipped with group-era records), while the founding
four-keys-required / defaults-for-everything-since decode policy stays —
a bookmarkless record decodes as the born-orphan row rather than
quarantining the list. needsReopen and the pre-anchored re-grant panel
are removed whole: the only state that flow served — a record granted by
a sibling sandbox — is unrepresentable now, and a dead bookmark of our
own was already the orphan case by explicit comment. The
indexOfRecord path fallback dies with it; path is never a key again.
The cross-process freshness stamp (mtime+size re-read) and
BoardEditionPresence with its popover "Also open in…" line retire; the
clipboard prune keeps its atomic .sweeping/ claim-then-delete, reframed
for crash residue and open -n copies rather than sibling editions. The
application-groups entitlement key is gone.
1880 tests in 317 suites green (13 cross-edition tests retired with
their subject).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Phase 1 of the 2026-07-30 one-app pivot (DESIGN 0bec9a6, card c3a3ddd5):
the KanbanPro target, LaneworkPro scheme, KanbanProTests module-alias
bundle, KanbanPro/ source root and scripts/verify-editions.sh retire
wholesale. project.yml reads as a single-target file again (anchors
inlined, header rewritten in tier vocabulary).
The edition twins merge: EditionTypes -> PasteboardTypes (one
UTType(exportedAs:) home — the one app owns the family types),
EditionAbout -> AboutBox (the quiet Pro signpost survives as the About
box's one line; "…in Settings" deferred until the StoreKit phase gives
it somewhere to point). InertGitTests drops its Base prefix — the
inert-.git posture is unconditional app behavior, unsubscribed and
lapsed being one state.
Entitlements gain com.apple.security.network.client, declared now and
dormant until Pro's remotes use it; no keychain access group. The App
Group key deliberately stays — it goes with AppGroup.swift in phase 2,
since pulling it first would silently drop the app into the fallback
container. README/RELEASE.md build-and-pipeline prose updated to the
one-record world; the subscription story lands with phase 3.

Phase 2 completes the lanes-in-trash card. TrashEntry merges the
trash's two kinds by rank in exactly ONE place (ItemPath.resolve's
own merge deleted in favor of it — the three-merge-points finding
shrinks instead of growing). TrashLaneRowView renders the opaque
row — tertiary plate, level-default lane glyph never the lane's own
icon, title + card count, no accents, no expansion; the column badge
counts rendered rows. Selection grammar: kind-homogeneous trash
selections — ranges skip the other kind, ⇧-extension stops at the
kind boundary, plain arrows walk the merged order, marquee stays
card-only (now load-bearing: rows register frames for arrows),
Select All card-scoped; successor-on-purge crosses kinds like
navigation as the interim for open Gap 7b5cbc90. Drag: TrashDrop
accepts lane sessions (drop on shown trash deletes), restoreLanes
routes a trash-sourced strip drop as an arrival-ranked within-board
move with an undo step. Clipboard: ⌘X/⌘V lane restore via opaque
lane subjects; fixed boardRoot(ofLaneFolder:) returning .trash as
the root — a same-board restore looked like an import and would
have reminted the lane it was restoring (pinned by test). A11y:
row = one flattened "title, deleted lane, N cards" element with
Delete/Reveal actions; BoardDiff crossings read lanes as
deleted/restored, shown-trash churn digested at row level. Agent
guide stays v7 — the literal already teaches lanes-trash-by-move
and kind stamping; drift-guard pins those lines. README trash
paragraph notes lanes.
Both schemes 1893 tests / 322 suites green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Phase 1 of the lanes-in-trash card (2026-07-29 ruling, docs led the
code): lane delete is a move into .trash/ with the subtree intact,
arriving at top trash rank — no destructive delete remains outside
the trash.
TrashedLane opaque unit (id/schema/title/order/heldCards) beside
trash cards — deliberately not a Lane, so no card-shaped surface can
believe an empty subtree. Loader's trash walk trusts the kind VALUE
(lane → opaque unit w/ held-card count counted at the loader's own
unit; card → ordinary card; absent/unrecognized → UUID-children
shape, empty-kindless falls to card per 01's honest limit). Writer:
moveIntoTrash generalized with kind passed never derived (an empty
lane would re-derive as card), deleteLaneToTrash mints against the
whole-container rank ladder. Retired: migrateTombstonedLane (lane
deleted: now ignored — loads live, bytes inert, tolerate-tier
warning), removeLane, captureSubtree/recreateSubtree and the
subtree-snapshot machinery. Undo inverse = move back to captured
strip position, redo replays at captured trash rank. Purge walks
lane subtrees; TrashModel.Freight phrases confirms with lane freight
("…and its 5 cards"). ItemPath gains .trashLane; resolve interleaves
the trash by rank; SearchFilter matches lane rows by title only.
Trashed-lane card windows dismiss and pending cuts void via the
ordinary vanish rule — no new plumbing.
Phase 2 (rendering, selection grammar, drag, a11y, agent guide)
follows. Both schemes 1858 tests / 318 suites green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Delete Immediately is removed entirely (ruling ae1dd96, Redesign card
d40bfac1): the delete vocabulary is purely staged — board → trash,
trash → permanent (confirmed on no-git boards), Empty Trash for bulk.
Gone: File ▸ Delete Immediately (⌥⌘⌫) and its validation, both
⌥-alternate context rows (card + the permanently-disabled lane row),
the VO custom action, BoardStore.deleteImmediately,
TrashModel.canDeleteImmediately, TrashConfirmations' .purge action
(zero surviving callers — trash-side Delete always used
.deleteTrashCards), and the pinning tests. purgePrompt drops its
now-single-purpose container parameter (.trash is the only surviving
caller). BoardWriter.purgeItem survives — create-undo rollback still
needs it — with its comment rewritten. README's trash paragraph drops
the ⌥⌘⌫ sentence.
The other 2026-07-30 rulings (2ec2c95 registry freshness stamp,
c741b02 unified-log-as-coerce-consumer) required no code changes —
already conformant.

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

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

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.

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.

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
Nine rulings land as code. Reorders don't stamp — one container-change
predicate (WriteOperation.rewritesOrderOnly): within-container reorders
and the renumber rescale rewrite only order, while cross-lane, cross-board,
and trash moves stamp modified and clear modified-by; no trash special
case exists, and the m8 undo inverses conform through the same seam.
Copies are transactions: the root-strict/nested-lenient split retires for
a whole-subtree stampability preflight that refuses loudly naming the
offender, and every item-level copy severs remote/remote-state at every
level (whole-board forks carry them verbatim). Paste refuses, never
degrades: the embedded-index.md materialization and its loss row retire;
a missing staged snapshot produces nothing and posts an error-tone
one-shot named from manifest metadata. Coerce-tier fallbacks log through
the Defect stream with path context attached loader-side. Displacement is
level-uniform: a file squatting attachments inside a card heals by the
same rename ladder as board-root squatters; comments stays tolerated.
Delete Immediately joins card and lane context menus as Delete's
⌥-alternate with its own VO custom action, routed through an explicit
container so the menu target outranks standing selection. Agent guide v7
teaches the stamp discipline and the card-level attachments claim, and
sheds two stale v6 lines (lanes trash now; kind is taught). Verified
conformant, unchanged: edition-aware Undo/Redo disable, trash marquee
full-height backdrop.
Both schemes 1854 tests / 318 suites green; verify-editions 30/30.

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.

macOS keeps Saved Application State per app, and on macOS 26 its mere
existence — even describing zero windows, which repeated dev kills
guarantee — counts as "a restored session": SwiftUI then treats every
scene's defaultLaunchBehavior as moot and presents nothing. The app
launched as a windowless shell with no way back, since windowOpener is
captured by the first scene that appears — so Open Recent, the
re-grant Grant click, and Dock reopen all silently buffered or
no-opped. Proven by -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES presenting
correctly on the same state; with the fix, welcome presented 3/3
consecutive plain launches.
Three changes:
- App.init registers ApplePersistenceIgnoreState — restoration is the
registry's job (02 § Launch and window lifecycle), every scene
already declares restorationBehavior(.disabled), and AppKit's layer
was pure liability. Registered before NSApplicationMain runs, which
is what makes a registration-domain default early enough.
- The restore bootstrap presents at every launch as the app's one
reliable presenter; welcome is never system-presented (.suppressed)
— the pass opens it when nothing else lands on screen.
LaunchPlan.presentsBootstrap retired.
- captureWindowActions returns the replayed Finder-open count so the
pass counts those as opens — a cold document launch doesn't get
welcome stacked beside its board.
Both suites green, verify-editions 30/30.

Latent since the m7 split: base's Info.plist exports the three family
pasteboard types (cards, lanes, clipboard) and Pro's imports them, but
the shared constants declared all three UTType(exportedAs:) — a claim
of ownership the system checks against the running app's plist. In Pro
that claim is false, and the first touch (the clipboard type, via the
launch sweep) raised a runtime fault that blocked board loading under
the debugger.
EditionAbout's twin-file pattern, applied to an initializer: the
constants move to Kanban/App/EditionTypes.swift (exportedAs) with a
KanbanPro/Edition/EditionTypes.swift twin (importedAs, identifiers
verbatim); project.yml excludes base's copy from Pro. Type identity is
the string, so payloads cross editions unchanged. Verified: Pro
fixture launch opens the board with zero UTI warnings; both suites
green; verify-editions 30/30.

No board window has shown its NSToolbar or the titlebar board-info
chevron since m6: on macOS 26, SwiftUI stages a scene's content
against a provisional window, then dismantles and re-makes the
window-sensing background view while moving content into the real
window. HostedWindowController.detach() treated that dismantle as the
window's death and discarded the held titlebar accessory and toolbar
controller — so the real window attached moments later to empty slots.
Observed live via instrumented launch: install arrives with no window,
detach follows (slots cleared), then the real window attaches.
detach() now removes the chrome from the window but retains the slots
— their lifetime is the controller's, not the sensing view's — and
attach() reinstalls whatever is held. Verified on a fixture launch:
the board window carries its toolbar and the leading accessory.

Every edition declares group.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban and homes its
app-side state there from day one (12-editions.md ruling 2026-07-29):
- AppGroup namespace: container resolution with per-edition fallback
when unprovisioned, shared UserDefaults suite, edition identity, and
a unit-test-host redirect (the test host IS the app — its launch
sweep and recents refresh must not touch the real shared container).
- BoardRecord: bookmark/isOpenNow replaced by per-edition grants and
openNow keyed by bundle id; hand-written Codable keeps legacy keys
decoding (adopted in memory as the running edition's slots, upgraded
on first save); every other field stays common.
- RecentBoard gains needsReopen: no grant of ours but somebody's —
first click runs an open panel pre-anchored at the recorded path,
prompt "Grant"; recordOpen mints this edition's slot onto the
matched shared record (path fallback only after identity fails and
only against records holding no grant of ours, so re-granting never
forks the record).
- Cross-edition freshness: stat-cheap mtime+size stamp re-reads the
registry when the sibling edition wrote it, so one edition's save
never erases the other's records wholesale.
- restorables() filters on this edition's open-now flags; the board
popover gains BoardEditionPresence ("Also open in Lanework Pro"),
pid-liveness-checked so crash residue never lies.
- Clipboard staging store moves to the group container; the sweep
claims doomed trees by atomic rename into .sweeping/ then deletes,
so the sibling's concurrent sweep is a non-event.
- Template store re-homed to the group container per the 09-templates
re-ruling; scalars (quick-style recents, window size) move to the
shared suite.
- verify-editions.sh: 30 checks (each edition carries exactly the
family group). No pathfinder 1.x migrator: 1.x predates the
registry; state starts fresh in the group container.

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).

The crash-class gap the integrity design pass found (DESIGN/01 -
Fractal layout rules; 02 - Live-reload resilience): the loader had no
board-wide dedupe at all, so two hand-copied folders sharing a UUID put
two equal ItemIDs into one snapshot - which SwiftUI's ForEach does not
tolerate. Built to the day's re-rulings, both landing mid-flight: the
user-gated Repair banner retired (176c852 - the heal runs silently) and
the container boundary became the first tie-break (f153e79 - the
visible card never loses to its own trash ghost).
IntegrityRules.dedupe (pure, occurrence list in, verdict out): group by
canonical identity, collapse case-spelled twins first - spellings with
a live occurrence outrank trash-only spellings, then canonical
lowercase, then lexicographically first; losers are silent strays
(LoadWarning.caseTwinIgnored - spelling artifacts, never reminted) -
then earlier-occurrence-wins across the surviving spelling's folders on
a four-rung ladder: live-before-trashed, git path history rank, FS
birth date (nil is no comparison, never .distantPast), traversal
order. Occurrences are exactly the identity-bearing folders: lanes,
cards, .trash entries - a UUID-shaped folder under a card is content.
BoardLoader walks lanes as WalkedLane and builds Lane values only on
the far side of the verdict, so a withheld card can never reach a
snapshot; a name-only gate keeps the healthy-board cost at one
dictionary pass, no disk reads. Withheld subtrees are still walked - a
hand-copied lane's nested cards are their own withheld occurrences,
reminted at the finest grain like the import boundary would have. A
withheld trash entry's trashKinds reading leaves with it. The git rung
is a seam (BoardLoader.IdentityHistoryRanker, one closure keyed by
root-relative path) because base links no git machinery - base injects
nothing and falls through; pro-m1 owns the ranker (card annotated).
The heal: Defect.duplicateIdentity (signature duplicate:<path>:<id>)
rides HealScheduler as the fourth scheduled heal, ordered last among
the content heals because a remint renames folders and would stale the
paths the same load handed the relocation and migration.
BoardWriter.remintDuplicateIdentity re-verifies twice at write time -
the folder still carries the losing identity AND something else still
does (the vanished-duplicate race no-ops from either side) - then
renames to a fresh v4 minted against the whole board's identity bag.
A rename and nothing else: no index.md opened, no modified stamp, no
modified-by clear; the receipt is heal-marked (pro-m1's committer
splits it out, named by 06's kept Repair verb); no undo step - heals
are not gestures. The notice is the design's own sentence ("Repaired
duplicate id - 'Fix login'"; several fold to a count), a loss row on
the relocation's reasoning; WriteOperation.repairDuplicateID carries
the failure mirror.
Fixture repair rode along: duplicate-order-tie-break.kanban had a lane
and its own card sharing a UUID - a genuine duplicate the new pass
correctly withholds; the folder rename landed in feae6d0, the matching
test constant lands here.
66 tests added (DuplicateIdentityTests: the ladder rung by rung, the
straddles, withheld-lane subtrees, remint idempotence and races, the
one-heal-cycle window, all phrasing). 1804 green on both schemes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ruled 2026-07-29: heal-class commits (known in-session by heal-marked EchoLedger receipts) never become undo steps — the stack pointer passes over them and restores exclude heal-owned paths, so ⌘Z never reverts a repair and never re-arms the scheduler; naive acceptance would trap a ⌘Z run on an ever-renewing heal commit, and suppression would create standing invalid states. Post-relaunch reseed stays sidecar-free, so old heal commits bounce once — restore plus fresh heal commit, the fresh one transparent, the run continuing past it. Accepted family-wide; the agent-guide quirk becomes the rule's oldest case.

Ruled 2026-07-29: board windows exist before their first snapshot. Immediate window at the saved frame with registry-cached chrome, quiet spinner after a 200ms grace (no skeletons), first snapshot snaps in, ⌘W cancels the walk as an ordinary close. Restoration goes parallel — all flagged windows at once, walks independent, slow volumes never serialize the launch. Failures keep the settled welcome row surface; the loading window retires rather than morphing into an error display. No info row — the loading state is the surface.

Extends the claimed-names displacement to a card's reserved child names: a wrong-kind node on attachments displaces by the same ladder, scheduled class, and notice, retiring the imports-fail-one-gesture-at-a-time mode one level down; the displaced file then rides the loose-file relocation into the real attachments/ — the heals compose. comments stays a tolerated stray until the tracker era consumes the name, per the load-bearing-now timing principle.

Ruled 2026-07-29: every edition declares group.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban, and the board registry plus its Application Support peers home in the group container from base 2.0 onward — no migration, no ordering dependency, and the entitlement ships in base's first build since base ships first. A paying upgrader launches Pro onto their full recents. Stated caveat: security-scoped bookmarks never cross sandboxes, so the list transfers while access re-grants per board — per-edition grant slots on the shared record, open panel pre-anchored at the recorded path. Teams joins the same team-scoped group later with zero ceremony. Clipboard staging store stays put pending the both-editions-installed clipboard ruling.
Board: Gap card a925e530 → Resolved; Implementation card a647aba2 filed atop Backlog (before-base-ships constraint).

General ruling (2026-07-29): app-initiated covers every reliably healable repair — unambiguous, content-lossless — because heals are auditable: Pro's separate heal commit is the durable trail, base happens quietly, and a heal that changes user content announces with a warning-tone notice, never a consent gate. The user-gated class stays defined but has no current members. Duplicate-id healing goes silent under Lanework-owns-the-board (free to re-mint UUIDs at will): no condition banner, no Repair button — a scheduled heal remints withheld occurrences (memo-guarded, disk re-verified, no-op on vanished duplicates) and posts "Repaired duplicate id — 'Fix login'". Winner rule unchanged: earlier commit on git boards, filesystem birth date then traversal order without history. 06 keeps the Repair verb as the heal commit's name; 13 moves the remint outside undo with all heals. Dissolves the Repair-has-no-Nexus-row contradiction — no command, no row owed.
Board: Contradictions card ce5e7f60 → Resolved (lane now empty); Implementation card 50ed2b5d (Active) retitled "Dedupe duplicate ids and heal them silently" and realigned mid-flight.

The rule 01 ▸ Deletion and 03 ▸ Trash cited is now stated (ruled 2026-07-29): order is logically the container's property, stored as an attribute in each member's file for implementation convenience, so reorders, cross-lane moves, and renumber rescales rewrite index.md without touching content — no modified stamp, no modified-by clear. The trash move is the genuine exception: deletion is an edit to the item's story, stamping and clearing both, feeding the future age-based auto-purge. Considered and declined: stamping the container's own modified on reorder — fair reading, pragmatically risky to enforce, nothing reads it.
Board: Contradictions card 30c8f207 → Resolved. Code realign (Writer stamp suppression, agent guide v7) queues for the session-end realign card.

The 2026-07-29 lanes-trash-too ruling never swept the docs last touched 07-28. 11 ▸ Delete drops "lanes delete physically" for the card-or-lane move (freight-counting confirms in the trash); Delete Immediately widens to any card or lane selection; 06's recoverability exception covers both kinds and drops the retired 13-native-undo citation; 07 reads card and lane deletes; 02's welcome-counts exclusion restates as items in .trash/ (trashed lane subtracts from the lane count, its nested cards from the card count — the sibling Minor's ruling folded in). Context-menu row "Trash cards" renamed "Trash selection" on the same basis.

The 2026-07-29 integrity design pass, consolidated (DESIGN/01 -
Validation and healing; DESIGN/02 - Components): IntegrityRules
(Storage, pure) is the one home for the identity predicate and
canonical form (BoardWriter.canonicalIdentity deleted, ItemID and the
loader forward to it), the per-field rulebook, uneditable shapes,
per-kind index validation, the reserved-name tables, and the trash
kind discriminator (values trusted - kind: lane/card explicit,
unrecognized falls to shape). LoadResult's ad-hoc channels fold into
one typed Defect stream (looseCardFiles / legacyTombstone /
claimedNameSquatted, per-defect heal signatures); the old accessors
survive as computed views.
HealScheduler (LiveStore) states the six-step heal pattern once -
resting-clear, lock gate, isWritableFile gate (now covering all four
heals), signature memo armed-before-attempt with explicit
clear-on-success, disk re-verify in each write half, one banner-posture
table (BannerCenter keeps all phrasing). The three hand-rolled healers
run on it with behavior preserved - including the
relocation-notice-despite-partial-failure quirk, deliberately. Heals
run at the reload tail AND at registry acquire, closing the
migration-never-fires-at-open asymmetry. Displacement runs first: a
squatted .trash would otherwise fail the migration and arm its memo
against an unchanged picture.
Claimed-name squatters (ruled today, 62c47a2) displace by the shared
Finder-style rename ladder - preserved verbatim, symlinks moved as
links, nothing stamped; AgentGuide's untouchable-skip upgrades to
displace-then-write, the CLAUDE.user.md-taken skip stands. kind stamps
on every create and backfills on any index rewrite via the on-touch
seam (placement resolver stamps nothing when the parent is unknown -
a guessed kind is worse than an absent one; board-root writers declare
theirs). Heal writes mark their EchoLedger receipts (inert in base;
pro-m1's committer will split them into their own commits). The
renumber ask-renumber-ask-again two-step is one shared helper, adopted
at all nine call sites.
69 tests added. 1738 green on both schemes.

A real agent incident (2026-07-29): moving cards with mv <lane>/* swept
the lane's own index.md along with the card folders, overwriting the
destination lane's identity file and leaving the source lane index-less
(the Implementation board briefly lost its lane titles; restored from
its auto-commit history). Both guide generations taught the correct
named-folder form but never said why it is load-bearing.
v6 adds the one-folder-at-a-time bullet to Moving and reordering:
a lane folder holds its own index.md beside its cards, so a glob
sweeps the identity file with them. Boards heal to v6 on their next
open per the first-line marker rule. The guide tests now derive
their expected marker and current/newer versions from
AgentGuide.version instead of a hardcoded literal, so the next bump
cannot silently break them.
1669 green on both schemes.

User ruling on the squatted-.trash gap: a wrong-typed node on an app-claimed
name (a file or symlink squatting .trash, a directory or symlink squatting
CLAUDE.md) is an invalid artifact, not a resident — a scheduled heal moves
it aside via the Finder-style rename ladder, preserved verbatim, with the
relocation-style notice. Upgrades the agent guide's untouchable-skip to
displace-then-write; the CLAUDE.user.md-taken skip stands (destinations
don't cascade-displace). Until the heal lands the loader keeps the
empty-trash read and a racing delete fails as a one-shot — a one-reload
window, not a standing state.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
User ruling on the integrity pass: a scheduled heal's batch never folds into
a commit carrying anyone else's work. The committer's two-commit split gains
a heal class keyed by heal-marked EchoLedger receipts; the composer stays a
pure diff reader and names heal commits from their own diff shape. On-touch
heals ride their host write's commit (the backfilled kind joins the
bookkeeping no-event class), inline heals batch with their gesture, and the
user-gated Repair already commits alone.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
User addendum to the integrity pass: kind moves from the lane table to the
common frontmatter table — board/lane/card at creation, comment reserved;
value-trusted where consulted, consequential only inside .trash/ today,
carried everywhere for consistency. A missing kind backfills on touch via
the integrity service. Guide v6 teaches kind on every object.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
01 gains Validation and healing (five verdicts: refuse / refuse-writes /
tolerate / coerce / heal; heal axes consent x timing incl. the inline mode;
write discipline decided by the existing stamp rule; disk re-verify, memo
discipline, defer-under-lock). kind re-ruled: any object may carry it, the
value names the kind, trusted where consulted, no stripping; backfill is the
service's on-touch heal, on-touch only. 02 gains IntegrityRules +
HealScheduler components — rules and policy consolidate, enforcement stays
with loader/writer.

Records the channel decision: the Mac App Store, as version 2.0 of the
existing dev.rzen.indie.Kanban record - the 1.x app already listed
there under the Lanework name. The question the card held open was
settled by three prior rulings (the edition split's separate App Store
targets with base keeping the shipping bundle id, the 2.0 marketing
version, and the account's App-Store-shaped tooling); RELEASE.md
records the reasoning and why notarized-direct is not pursued for 2.0.
Pipeline carried over from the 1.x repo: scripts/release.sh (archive +
destination=upload export, --platform macos reminders in its epilogue),
ExportOptions-macOS.plist, .env.release.example (+ .gitignore entry for
the real credentials). scripts/metadata/ holds the fresh 2.0 listing -
rewritten description/what's-new for the rewrite (plain-files boards,
live outside edits, card windows, trash, undo, templates, agent guide,
accessibility), carried keywords/URLs/categories/pricing (free)/
availability (ALL), and review notes updated to the 2.0 UI. All fields
within API limits; asc-metadata --dry-run validates end-to-end against
the live record (version 2.0 would be created; pricing and availability
already correct). Local Release archive verified: Lanework 2.0 build
165, signed, correct identity.
Remaining steps are deliberately user-gated at RELEASE.md's PUSH POINT:
screenshots need a real display, and everything past the archive writes
to the live record of a shipping 1.x app.

The golden-path XCUITest suite, adapted to current rulings where the
card body had gone stale: trash flows follow the materialized-trash
grammar (no Put Back, restore is drag or cut/paste out), git flows are
pro-m1 scope and skipped, and fixtures extend m11's in-container
--ui-test-fixture-board mechanism (the sandbox forbids the card's
--open-board path handoff) with exact-match variant flags: standard
(the three-lane audit board), large (8 lanes x 40 cards for
masonry/reflow), malformed (BoardWriter-built board with one card's
index.md overwritten to unterminated YAML, opened through the ORDINARY
path so the failure is the loader's own).
EndToEndFlowTests: create card/lane, inline rename, coordinate drag
across lanes, cut/paste, undo/redo of a move, delete-to-trash /
show-trash / restore-by-cut-paste / Empty Trash confirm - all asserting
on lane accessibility labels. FailFastLaunchTests: welcome appears, no
board window ever, a welcome row carries the loader's sentence naming
the file; byte-fidelity of the malformed board pinned unconditionally
in KanbanTests plus an identically-refused relaunch. Performance:
launch metric plus explicit wall-clock gates (30s launch / 5s Show
Trash on 320 cards) since XCTest baselines don't travel. Powerbox
panels (template save panel, Duplicate fallback, Open) are documented
as manual in EndToEndVerification.md, not faked.
The smoke test now launches on the standard fixture (it launched bare
before, opening the developer's real boards); README's everyday test
command scopes to -only-testing:KanbanTests.
Suite compiles on both schemes (build-for-testing verified); flows
await a real display + automation permission to execute - run
instructions in KanbanUITests/EndToEndVerification.md. +8 unit tests;
1669 green both schemes.

The replica framed to a font-derived nominal width, so faces in wide
lanes' interior masonry columns and narrow lanes dragged a preview of
the wrong size and the cursor could sit over empty space beside it.
CardFaceView's existing onGeometryChange now reports size, not height
alone - height still feeds LaneDropRegistry, width feeds the replica -
and BoardMetrics.cardReplicaWidth(measured:bodyPointSize:) keeps the
old figure as the documented not-yet-laid-out fallback. Same row, same
paddings, same lineLimit at the same width means the same height, so
the preview is now an exact overlay of the face it left.
Manual verification pending alongside the lane grab-point card: 3x vs
1x lanes, interior masonry columns, window re-divide, trash rows,
large text sizes, drag-at-creation fallback.
3 tests. 1661 green on both schemes.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
SwiftUI's .onDrag(_:preview:) exposes no anchor or grab-point API and
lays the preview centered over the grabbed view, so a full-height lane
replica grabbed by its ~1.5-line title bar hung half a lane above the
pointer. DragPreviewAnchor is the pure fix: transparent one-sided
padding computed so the padded image's center IS the replica's title
bar - the system's centering then lands the bar under the cursor and
the body over the lane it was lifted from. LaneView measures the real
bar height in the geometry observer it already runs, accounting for the
accent band when the lane's color resolves.
Pixel-exact grab preservation would need re-homing the whole gesture
stack onto an AppKit beginDraggingSession path; declined for a polish
card - this gets the cursor onto the grabbed bar under either of
SwiftUI's possible placement rules. Manual verification pending (no
display here): grab specific bar pixels, colored + uncolored lanes,
large text sizes, multi-lane fan, cross-board drop geometry.
9 tests. 1661 green on both schemes with the paired card-width fix.
