A template is a board folder the ordinary loader reads — no second
schema, no Swift catalog. BoardTemplate became exactly that: a loaded
BoardModel with chooser-facing derivations, the lane-title stub gone.
TemplateEngine instantiates by the copy-remint-restamp walk: .git and
.trash excluded at top level only — both names mean something at a
board root and nowhere else, and .gitignore must survive — every
materialized folder reminted, created/modified stamped fresh (born
today, not forked), modified-by cleared, the template: key carried
inert, the blurb and style inherited, and loose card files normalized
at this import boundary per the paste precedent so a new board never
opens with a notice about a mess its own birth made. Legacy deleted:
keys copy through verbatim to the one migrator — stripping would
resurrect, skipping would destroy. Atomicity is construct-then-clean:
a sibling temp can be sandbox-refused and a cross-volume rename is
just a second copy, so the call removes what it created on every
non-board exit and never touches an occupied destination. The
cancellable per-item walk extracted into BoardTreeCopy serves
Duplicate and instantiation with two parameters — top-level exclusions
and folder-attribute carriage, the only axes they differ on.

Phase 3 finishes the pivot at the surface. One card face serves two
containers: CardFaceView extracted with a role — board or trash — so
stripe, tint, chip, selection stroke, cut dim, marquee registration,
and drag are shared by construction, the trash side differing only in
its absences: no Open, no rename, no Style, no file-hover highlight,
and a Delete that goes through the confirmation host. The column
rewrote around the lanes' own single-column masonry so drag reflow
reads as positional slides; chrome stays the hatched header, symbol,
and count — 11 gives Empty Trash to the File menu alone. Two real
grammar bugs die here: plain Backspace on a trash selection purged
without the confirmation the menu raises, and the context menu's
Delete resolved against the standing selection, so right-clicking a
trash card under a board selection silently did nothing — it now
stages the clicked set explicitly. Open, Rename, Style, and Empty
Trash validation became testable store seams; the column is one named
accessibility container of ordinary card elements. The tombstone era
is swept: deleteItem, restoreItem, stripTombstonedChildren — dead
since lane copies stopped nesting trash — the restore verb, the
unreachable put-back banner row, and every quasi-lane doc comment.

The copy now walks the source tree item by item, checking cancellation
between items, and the in-progress banner row carries its promised
Cancel — a cancelled duplicate removes the partial sibling and never
happened (DESIGN/03 > File menu). A sandbox permission refusal of the
silent Finder-style sibling falls back to an NSSavePanel pre-filled with
the parent folder and the copy name — the panel's grant is the sandbox's
own answer; cancelling the panel cancels quietly, and non-permission
failures keep the ordinary one-shot banner. Refusal classification is
deliberately narrow (NSFileWriteNoPermissionError itself, no underlying-
chain walk) so an unreadable source never masquerades as a destination
refusal. Directories are created writable first with mode and timestamps
restored after the subtree lands, so a read-only source folder can't
strand its own copy. BoardDuplicatorTests grows from 9 to 18 tests.

The welcome window becomes the real thing: Xcode-style, hidden title
bar with background drag, branding and actions left, recents right —
rows carrying the board symbol, name, location, and the registry's
cached lane/card counts (stamped at close, never a scan at welcome
time), sorted by last opened. Launch failures surface row-level per
02: a failure joins its recents row as a warning caption, an
unresolvable bookmark renders unavailable with Forget its one
affordance, and only a failure with no row to carry it falls back to
a compact list; a board opening again heals its row. New Board
(Opt-Cmd-N) opens the Pages-style template chooser — shipped with
the single Basic template and the m9 seams marked — flowing through
the save panel into createBoard/createLane and straight into a board
window. Open Recent gains its submenu with Clear Menu (byte-identical
to forgetting every row, pinned by test), and File > Duplicate forks
the frontmost board to a Finder-style copy sibling: pending work
flushes first through the close flush's step two alone (sessions stay
open — 09's stated exception), every GUID and tombstone carries (the
whole-board carve-out from copies-remint), and the copy opens in its
own window while the original stays put. 36 new tests.
