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.

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.

The parenthetical predated the edition split and read as base never having working Undo/Redo. Now conditioned on the provider: Pro disables on no-git and repo-nested boards; base's native stack serves every board, disabling only under locks and empty stacks.
Board: Minor card 7e43562e → Resolved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
User-proposed and ruled 2026-07-29, retiring the design's sole
destructive delete: lane delete becomes a move into .trash/, exactly as
cards move. Full rationale on the Redesign board's Resolved card;
implementation is post-m12 ("Lanes delete into the trash" on the
Backlog) — the docs deliberately lead the code until then.
- 01: kind: lane always present on lane frontmatter (created with the
lane, healed on touch, never stripped) — discriminates lane from card
in the flat .trash/, where an empty lane is shape-identical to a
card; legacy deleted: on lanes is now simply ignored (no migration,
no notice — backward compatibility deliberately not funded).
- 03: trashed lane = opaque dimmed row with card count, restores whole
or purges whole; confirms count lane freight; fixed 03's own copy of
the "native undo restores a permanent delete" contradiction.
- 04: delete staged by place for lanes too (board→trash no dialog,
trash→permanent confirmed); lane drop on shown trash deletes;
kind-homogeneous trash selections, ranges skip by kind; ⌘X/⌘V restore
rides the existing lane-paste rule.
- 10: trashed lane is one flattened element, never a container.
- 13: lane delete inverse = ordinary move back; recreate-from-capture
retires — no destructive delete remains outside the trash.
- 08: agent guide v6 — lanes trash by move, kind: lane taught.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Settles the m11-accessibility findings and two undo-doc findings from the
Redesign board (rationale per card in its Resolved lane):
- 13: permanent delete stays non-undoable — the trash-section clause
contradicting Rules is amended; staleness validation reads disk, not
the snapshot (blessing the implemented false-skip fix).
- 10: VO-Space toggles on any selectable element; the digest covers the
trash while shown; a vanished head with surviving co-selection is
still named (naming and recovery are independent axes); banner-row
buttons are literal FKA Tab stops; lane-title landmark+heading
doubling accepted; trash visibility wording pinned; the custom-action
cut confirmed; banner transitions are origin-independent; the AA
obligation binds the primary label tier.
- 03: the palette AA claim rewritten to the real mechanism — one
ink-selection code path for palette names and hex, pinned by
PaletteContrastTests in both appearances.
Code-conformance residue filed as "Realign code with the 2026-07-29
accessibility rulings" atop the Implementation Backlog.

The tombstone model is retired wholesale: deletion is a move into the reserved
<root>/.trash/, always entering at the top (rank minting — no deleted: key, no
timestamp sort), with modified stamped for the future age-based purge. Lanes
are never trashed — lane delete is physical, native undo in-session the net.
Put Back is gone: restore is drag-out or cut+paste (⌘X now enabled in the
trash as the keyboard restore path). Trash cards are ordinary cards — search,
selection, clipboard, and rendering uniform — and one container boundary
replaces the effective-liveness, ancestor-walk, and kind-homogeneity machinery
across 02 and 04. Delete stages by place (board moves, trash deletes
permanently under the recoverability confirm); legacy deleted: keys migrate
without destroying (cards relocate, lanes return live, notices). Templates
exclude .trash; Duplicate carries it; the agent guide teaches delete-as-move.
Materialized reserved lanes are named as a pattern — .archive is WISHLIST #8,
and the backed-out release-presentation question is marked open in 03.
Ruling: Redesign board Resolved card e8f1a6c2; 19 mooted tombstone-era rulings
moved to the board's new Mooted lane.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Rulings written in place: the drop settle yields to the system drag session
(fly-to-slot deferred to WISHLIST #7) and the held proposal's home is the
app-wide DragSession — rendering the arrangement means rendering the card at
release (03, 02); folder drops refuse at hover with loss-row reporting, created
cards land positionally, N shadows, header resolves topmost, shadow-only
feedback (04); the banner vocabulary gains the warning-tone loss row class
(02); all user-initiated creation clears the search (04); loose files beside a
card's index.md relocate into attachments/ with notice — files-only carve-out,
paste normalizes at the boundary, the agent guide teaches it (01, 04, 08);
dropping a card on the shown trash deletes it, shadow pinned topmost (04);
query-emptied lanes keep their slot, the out-transition stays reachable, an
open rename survives the filter, pasteboard staleness accepted (04).
The face carousel does not carry over: the pathfinder's selection-keyed dual
presentation proved undesirable — one presentation per card, selection changes
styling never geometry; the attachment chip and the card window are the whole
media story (03, 01, 10, 11; the same-day carousel settlements superseded on
their Resolved cards).

Edition split follow-through: 12-editions.md and 13-native-undo.md join the
corpus; git-era docs (06, 07) are Pro-scoped and cross-references realigned.
Resolution session rulings written in place: caret chords yield to any focused
text control (04, 11); the drop settle holds its proposal as overlay state and
02 gains the overlays family; Duplicate gets the save-panel fallback and a
cancellable copy walk (03); Finder open is a standard document open (02);
failed first opens record before loading with the folder name provisional (02);
trash pointer ranges skip by kind, full-height marquee surface, Select All by
kind, rows-only trashed universe (02, 04); Empty Trash counts entries (03);
create handoff reads as one arrival (02); range-anchor lifecycle, board-
background click grammar, jump landing cards, lane-domain shift-arrows (04);
Reduce Motion restated per voice (10).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
- 02: welcome counts are live items only; failed first opens still record;
duplicate-identity registry records merge silently (newest wins);
BoardStore's FolderWatcher pointer reads "below"
- 11: lane-header new-card button inventoried (click names its target lane,
overriding 04's ⌘N rule — cross-referenced there); attachments quiet-add
affordance listed as a twin; Undo/Redo and Pull/Push rows gain the
abnormal-state pause, read-only lock, and unresolvable-remote conditions;
welcome scope added to Reveal in Finder
- 03/11: one lane context menu (header or empty space) with the full
inventory, replacing the split rows
- 09: instantiated boards are never in git mode — actual mode follows
detection at the destination (repo-nested possible)
- 08: the app never writes an existing CLAUDE.user.md; one-time rescue
creation stated as the exception
- README: pathfinder path corrected to ../../Kanban

Show Trash's ⇧⌘T collided with the Show Tab Bar item macOS injects into
multi-window apps. Settled: tabbing is kept as a system affordance (each
tab a full board window, per-board frames applying when standalone) and
Show Trash ships with no default chord, assignable via the remap path.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Every lane command keyed off "a selected lane" with no drag-free way to
create one. Settled: ⌥↑ with the lane's first card selected selects the
lane (↓/⌥↓ descend back; ⌥↑ then inert), an empty selection seeds at the
first lane's first card, and a plain click on the lane title bar selects
with the drag surface engaging only on movement.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Both whole-board copies were absent from the lock's command enumeration,
staying enabled while the source tree was gone, unknown, or unwritable and
while the lock suppressed their required close flush. Settled: Duplicate
disables in every lock state; Save as Template disables except under the
unwritable-location lock, where reading the board into Application Support
is a legitimate copy-out with a vacuous flush precondition.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
The trash's newest-first order is load-bearing for keyboard input, but
same-second multi-deletes and 01's blessed-unparseable timestamps had no
ordering. Settled: ties break by folder name ascending; date-unknown
entries sort as oldest, after all dated entries; lane entries interleave
by their own stamp.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
03's Put Back cascade ("restores the lane too") was unreachable dead text
under 01's hide-the-subtree consumer rule and 02's effective liveness.
Settled: the lane's single trash entry subsumes everything beneath it; its
count is what Put Back returns to the board; lane Put Back splits by flag
(hidden-with-lane cards return, individually tombstoned ones reappear as
trash rows), making that recovery deliberately two steps.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Contradictions: v1 gains a minimal Settings pane (⌘,) housing the
restore-at-launch toggle; Window ▸ Welcome to Lanework inventoried in 11.
Gaps: close/quit waits for in-flight bracketed and copy-shaped operations;
pull extends the Edit-session treatment to open raw-source buffers
(signpost + last-writer-wins Apply); File ▸ Duplicate keeps tombstones
(01's "as-is" softened to per-flow exclusions). Minor: Undo routing
promoted to a real heading in 06; 11's dead "10 ▸ Actions" citation
repointed. m3 watcher findings: root-gone cancels armed debounced
delivery; mid-bracket root changes owned by the root-change path;
.git filtered at any depth; banked mid-bracket reconciles and the
200 ms debounce ratified.
- 10 cites 11 for Add Attachment and the lane-width menu items
- 04 uses ⌘/⇧ symbols for click modifiers; card moves scoped to the
⌥⌘ chord; ../WISHLIST.md path fixed
- 03 says stepper (plus the menu pair) in the editing-surfaces table
- 06 says one commit per debounce window
- 03/10 Reduce Motion lists aligned at five items; rubber-band
disambiguated as the lane-resize feedback
- 11 requires the trash shown for Empty Trash
- 02 rewords and-peers
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves 03's internal conflict: the shown trash consumes one fixed
width unit (no width frontmatter, not resizable) and Show/Hide Trash
joins the re-divide trigger list — lane units + 1 while shown. Small
windows compress like any lane add.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves 03 ▸ Motion's self-conflict: narrow keys are the sole-selected
card, the search query, and the drag's drop proposal (reflow-to-make-
room animates under it); animation-free means the replica and marquee's
1:1 cursor tracking and multi-select churn, not reflow.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the 01-vs-09/03 contradiction: Save as Template and File ▸
Duplicate copy the board folder as-is, GUIDs kept — the remint rule
governs item-level copies inside an existing board. Duplicate's
fork-keeps-history guarantee requires retention (copied .git history
must keep naming real paths); 03's Duplicate paragraph now says so.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolved on the Redesign board: raw-source Apply preserves a typed
modified-by stamp; FolderWatcher is FSEvents-only best-effort with no
iCloud/network fallback; read-only lock scope enumerated; matching
touch-ups in board-ui, card-window, accessibility docs.
