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.

TransientBoardState, one per store, holds state by how a reload treats
it: item-referencing sets (selection, drag membership, pending cut)
share one shape and one constraint rule — members must exist in the
current universe — applied in two directions by one primitive, so the
search filter's hidden-cards rule and reload survival are one rule
expressed once; derived state is stored as its inputs only (the query,
never its result set); and the new-card placeholder is a lane-anchored
overlay with no UUID until commit, discarded when its lane vanishes or
tombstones, handed off when the created card's UUID appears. Trash
visibility rides along per-open, never persisted. The decision is
written back into DESIGN/02 § Changes from Kanban — the TBD is closed.

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.

The single point through which every mutation becomes a filesystem
operation: read fresh from disk (strict byte-faithful UTF-8), refuse
readable-but-uneditable frontmatter shapes, apply the edit through the
span engine, stamp modified / clear modified-by, then temp-file+rename
atomically. Renumber-visible-children is the sole minimal-touch
exception, tombstones untouched. Structured BoardWriteError carries
operation + path + reason for the future banner surface.
Alongside, three edges the card surfaced:
- The loader now decodes byte-faithfully too, so a BOM'd or non-UTF-8
index.md is rejected at load per the encoding contract, instead of
loading via NSString's silent BOM strip and then refusing every write.
- An appended frontmatter line adopts the file's prevailing line ending
(a CRLF file stays uniformly CRLF when a stamp first lands in it).
- Empty-but-not-blank frontmatter ({}, null, ~) is detected as
uneditable — appending after it would be unparseable YAML.

Only lowercase-hex 8-4-4-4-12 folder names are lane/card candidates;
anything else is a stray — skipped with a distinct warning, never
descended, never able to fail-fast a load. UUID-shaped folders keep the
prior contract (missing index skips, malformed frontmatter fail-fasts).
Design resolution from the Redesign board. +5 tests.

Pure tree walk: root → lanes → cards, level is position. Fail-fast with
path+reason for bad YAML, missing/malformed schema or order, newer
schema, rootless board; index-less folders skip with a collected+logged
warning; strays, hidden files, and symlinks ignored; board-level
deleted ignored with a warning; tombstones loaded and flagged. 17 tests.
