A second product, not a second edition: dev.rzen.indie.KanbanMobile (iOS 26,
iPhone-only) compiles Kanban/Storage as source files, so a format change that
breaks the phone breaks this build the day it's made. Boards live in
iCloud.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban — named after the Mac bundle id so the Mac app can
adopt the container later without a migration; until then the folder is
"Lanework" in iCloud Drive and the Mac opens boards there through the open
panel.
EchoLedger grows #if os(macOS) gates around its three consumer surfaces
(verdicts/BoardDiff, harvest/HarvestedReceipt, comment retirement/CommentPath)
— the recording side BoardWriter stamps compiles on every platform, and the
gates are the seam a future phone verdict surface lands behind. AgentGuide
stays Mac-only.
The phone's watcher is NSMetadataQuery: BoardIndexStore (one query, package
UTI export makes a .kanban directory one item, equality-gated rescans,
download kicks per pass), BoardSession (materialization sweep before every
fail-fast walk, NSFileCoordinator brackets, perform{} = coordinated write then
awaited reload, ParseMemo threaded), CloudHome (off-main container resolution,
LANEWORK_LOCAL_ROOT DEBUG override for simulator work without an account).
Screens: Boards -> lanes -> cards -> card editor, value-routed by ItemID with
every screen re-reading the live snapshot; leading swipe moves a card via
confirmationDialog, trailing swipe sends it to .trash/; the editor commits
title through the Mac's canonical rename path and body through writeBody, with
drafts that survive reloads; attributes are the three typed style fields
(icon, iconColor, background) — labels is a reserved unknown-field key and
deliberately has no editor. Settings carries IndieBackup (backup root = the
container's Documents, restore rebuild = an index rescan, controller
constructed only once the home resolves).
Arbiter: KanbanMobile green for iOS Simulator, Kanban green for macOS, 3006
unit tests / 517 suites passed (PointerLatencyTests excluded — mid-rework
uncommitted in a parallel session).

BoardInfoTab gains .sync last in the strip, rendering BoardSyncTabView's one
honest caption. The tab claims the position where 07's remote half will
live without ruling where its setup surfaces land — that stays the open
Redesign card's question.

The titlebar widget becomes a two-line identity block: the board glyph at
22pt spanning both lines, the title over the branch (git-mode only, smaller
and secondary), the em-dash retired. New Branch… returns to the switch menu
behind a divider, revealing an inline name field — the pre-split shape. The
board settings sheet retires whole: add-git and commit identity render
inline in the Git tab's postures (BoardGitSetup.swift), the availability
rule collapses into BoardGitSetupSection.resolve, and Board ▸ Board
Settings… leaves the menu bar. Where 07's remote/credential setup surfaces
land is deliberately left open — filed on the Redesign board.

Settings loses its Lanework Pro section and the About box its Pro line —
no surface names or sells Pro while the split is re-decided. The machinery
underneath (ProEntitlement, ProStorefront, ProSettingsSection, the
recorded session tier) stays compiled and tested, documented as dormant
since the pivot. CHANGELOG's two 2.0 entries and README's feature list
drop the Pro-gated framing while keeping the facts.

HistoryStore.compose(boardRoot📒) returns non-optional and runs for
every session — the nil the gate produced was the only nil it ever had.
makeHistoryProvider is a one-axis decision: git-mode boards bind the git
provider, everything else native, in every tier; Session.tier stays
recorded, dormant. BoardGitSection shrinks to the four mode postures
(.absent and .proPointer die, BoardGitNote and the .git probe with them);
every board carries all three popover tabs (BoardInfoTab.available
retired); the titlebar branch shows on any git-mode board; the settings
sheet and card History section stop reading tier. InertGitTests is
repurposed as UntouchedGitTests — the file layer still never opens .git,
now load-bearing for mode-none boards. The accessibility audit reaches the
settings sheet at last: the fixture board hosts it in every tier, so the
free-fixture disabled-row test becomes an open-and-audit test.

With branch creation relocated to the settings sheet, a single-branch
board's switch menu opened onto nothing and read as broken (ruled
2026-08-06, built with the Git tab): a bare Text — AppKit's standard
disabled item, read by VoiceOver as disabled text — now says "No other
branches" where the switch entries would be. The filter behind it becomes
the pure switchTargets(branches:current:) seam, pinned by
BranchSwitchTargetTests: current excluded, nil current passes all through,
repository order preserved.

The popover's third tab settles (03 ▸ Git tab, 2026-08-07): BoardGitTabView
takes the parked section — the six-posture matrix, the Pro pointer, the
nested/unverifiable prose, the branch controls, the Board Settings… door —
with the tab label doing the old "Git" header's naming work, and one new
caption for the no-repository posture. BoardInfoTab.available drops the Git
tab exactly where BoardGitSection resolves absent, carrying 12's
absent-no-placeholder rule up to the tab strip; selection resets to Info per
open, now a ruling. Daily face only — the remote block still joins with
pro-m2.

iconColor stops being hand-written-only (user-ruled, superseding 03's
"schema yes, control no"): it rides StyleCommand.apply → applyStyle as
the third styled dimension — per-dimension no-op skip, one bracket, one
history step, ExpectedField.iconColor for staleness. The SymbolPicker
grows an opt-in colour row (leading None plus seven Palette.foregrounds
hues, None removes the key); the board popover is its one caller. The
window-title widget now draws the board's resolved glyph in that tint
beside the name. Doc realignment filed on the Redesign board (Minor).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
A selection change re-ran every CardFaceView on the board (180 bodies ≈ 85 ms on
the 6×30 fixture, 515 ≈ 233 ms on a real 515-card board, debug): the face's body
read store.selection in three places — isSelected, the drag replica's count, and
the context menu's styleTarget — and Observation invalidates every reader of the
property, past the equatable gate entirely. The band overlay stayed cheap, which
is why the marquee tracked the cursor while the highlight lagged ~0.4 s behind.
Now LaneView and TrashLaneView hoist one selection read per body and hand each
face isSelected/selectedCount as compared parameters; StyleMenuItems takes its
target as a deferred closure; TrashLaneRowView gains the same treatment plus the
Equatable gate it never needed before. Select-one-card: 180 bodies → 1. A
growing band costs the selection's own running size; the real board's crossing
fell 233 → 112 ms — the remainder is lane bodies re-measuring their masonry, a
separate lane-level finding recorded in RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md.
Also: select() gains defaultsSoleMember — the marquee's explicit nils never
avoided the sole-member default, so a one-card band acquired a selectionHead and
could scroll the lane out from under its own drag.
MarqueeRenderCostTests pins the shape: redundant samples cost zero bodies, a
growing band pays per crossing, and selectionStillRepaints holds a ≤8 budget.
Model facts off the live snapshot (Lanes, Cards with the trash's freight as a
quiet tail, Attachments — the welcome-count live-only rule) and disk facts off
one background whole-folder walk (File, Files, Size, Created, Modified — .git
and .trash included, so the rows agree with Finder's Get Info), with a Reveal
in Finder link as the door to the folder the rows describe.

The symbol/name header keeps the top; below it a segmented tab bar replaces
the styling embed and the git section, both parked in-file — their seams are
settled, test-pinned design, and the tab sessions rehome surfaces, not rulings.

Measured on real events 2026-08-07, correcting the 2026-08-06 hosted
finding: a bare count-1 tap on LaneView's empty-space layer fires in
~1-3 ms with no drag source at all — the hold that made the empty
.onDrag look necessary was the sterile NSApp.postEvent stream
over-disambiguating. And the provider was actively harmful: even an
empty drag source claims the mouse-drag at threshold, starving the
marquee's simultaneous DragGesture after one sample — the band froze
and the mouseUp never arrived. The layer goes dragless; drags from
empty space belong wholly to MarqueeControl. PointerClick's and the
layer's comments retell the corrected story. Alongside: openCard is
typed @MainActor throughout, which makes the closure Sendable and
lets CardFaceRole carry it under CardFaceView's nonisolated ==.

View ▸ Appearance (11-command-nexus.md): three radio-exclusive rows,
app-wide, persisted, needing no window in front — the View menu's new
last group. AppearanceStore owns the override's rules (absent key =
Auto, lenient reads degrade to Auto, remove-at-default) with an
injectable apply seam so test hosts never touch NSApp; the one real
apply hands NSApp.appearance its answer in applicationDidFinishLaunching,
the global side effect KanbanApp.init must not carry. The board toolbar
gains its first .picker item — an NSMenuToolbarItem whose rows re-fetch
their spec fresh, checkmark read at menu-open like every other menu row —
and Appearance joins the search field as the second default item,
centered beside it (03-board-ui.md ▸ Toolbar, ratified 2026-08-07).

The swatch's padding goes asymmetric and user-tuned — a wider berth at the
sides than above and below, out of the swatch rather than the control's
size — so the colour reads as a bar in the field instead of wall-to-wall.
The field's fill moves to controlColor, the push-button neutral grey, whose
ring stayed legible where controlBackgroundColor's near-black dark-mode
reading drowned it; and the trigger square keeps its own two-point inset,
decoupled from the swatch's padding so the indicator stays a legible
square through any padding tweak the swatch takes.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
The whole-lane wash-and-solid-ring scaled its emphasis with the lane's
area: what read as a ring on a card read as a slab on a column. Resettled
as the system focus ring's vocabulary at selection strength — a hairline
accent edge with a soft accent glow bleeding outward, riding the stroke
shape rather than the translucent plate (a shadow behind it would bleed
through as murk), and no wash at all: nothing tints the cards' backdrop,
and lane colour stays the accent band's alone. Under Increase Contrast the
halo yields to the solid full-alpha ring — "strengthens borders" means
crisper, and a blur is the one thing a border cannot become — so the
setting sees exactly the indicator it always has; cards and trash rows are
card-scale and keep the solid ring at every contrast. One selection
vocabulary, pinned by Accommodations.drawsSelectionHalo and its test.

"At drag start it replaces the item's original space" is now true from the
very first frame: begin takes the run's own resting slot as a seed, set in
the same transaction that lifts the run out. Without it the vacated gap
closed un-animated and sprang back open at the first dropUpdated — a
shuffle carrying no information. The seed bypasses propose deliberately (a
pickup is not a new landing spot, so no alignment tick), and the first real
sample's re-propose of the same slot is the early-out's ordinary silence. A
⌥-pickup seeds nothing — a copy's resting layout keeps the originals in
place, so there is no vacated space to hold. Card pickups compute the seed
through the same LaneView.rendered rules the retargets count in; lane
pickups seed their strip slot the same way. DRAG-REORDER.md's own-slot
paragraph records the rule, and SeededPickupTests pins all four corners.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
The measured defect: LaneView's empty-space double-click was a second
sequential .onTapGesture(count: 2) stacked over the single tap, and that
recogniser held every click in the lane — its own empty space and every
card face alike — hostage to the system double-click interval while it
disambiguated (~475 ms click-to-selection on a hosted board). The fix is
structural: the empty-space surfaces live on a background layer behind the
masonry, so a card's click never shares a gesture path with a lane
recogniser; one .onTapGesture branches on PointerClick.count (AppKit's own
clickCount, read the way ClickModifier reads the keyboard) — first click
selects, second creates, Finder's cadence with nothing to disambiguate; and
the layer carries a load-bearing empty .onDrag, because without a drag
source macOS holds primary clicks pending multi-click disambiguation
(measured: never fires alone, ~90 ms with one present). A measured viewport
floor makes each lane's blank space actually belong to the layer — a
ScrollView proposes nothing along its scroll axis, so only an explicit
minimum stretches the content — with the trash column as its twin, less the
padding that sits inside its scroll content. The template chooser's stacked
pair collapses to the same one-recogniser branch, and the attachment rows
move their double-click to a simultaneous gesture (instant there, because
the row's real .onDrag forces immediate delivery). PointerLatencyTests pins
the recovery with synthetic pointer events on a hosted board.

View ▸ Zoom In / Zoom Out / Actual Size (⌘+ / ⌘− / ⌘0): 75%–200% in eight
rungs, app-wide and persisted (the Show Comments precedent) — a viewing
comfort, not a property of any one board. The level travels as
BoardZoomContext in the environment, injected on BoardView alone so the
banner strip, search bar, sheets and popovers stay at the system size; the
environment is also what carries it through CardFaceView's equality gate,
which compares nothing that moves with the level. Every BoardMetrics figure
follows zoom.bodyPointSize — card and lane chrome, drag replicas and the
count badge, the resize handle, the trash column — and the drop registry
carries the ruler for event-time reads, with the autoscroller's three
reaches turning font-derived (reachSide named as the stripGap it always
equalled). Lanes still divide the window; zoom never moves the window or
its floor. The toolbar gains a catalog-only Zoom In/Out pair mirroring the
menu rows' predicate; zoom holds shut mid-drag (frozen geometry), each rung
announces itself to VoiceOver, and the render suite pins both invariants:
a rung repaints every face, a no-op Actual Size repaints nothing.

Four rulings close Redesign Contradiction 3452893f (2026-08-06): the in-app
escape hatch is ratified in full, reversing 2026-07-29's palette-only rule —
the combo's Other… opens the system Colors panel, a pick landing on a palette
color stores the name, anything else the hex. Free-picked colors change no
contrast story: they land on the same runtime ink computation hand-written hex
always got (10 amended to say so; no warning surface is owed). Anchor
ownership: the card sidebar's background story is the combo alone — the well
grid's background half stays with the other anchors (StyleEditorView gains
showsBackground beside showsSymbols; the popover's symbol half already went to
its inline SymbolPicker). Quick-style recents stay palette-vocabulary — a
panel pick never enters them.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
SymbolPicker: one well at rest, a 6x6 curated grid in a popover (leading
well = the level default, clearing the key), and an optional search over
the OS's full symbol inventory read from CoreGlyphs metadata. Geometry
font-derived off StyleEditorLayout's base, grid enlarged by a deliberate
1.3x. Wired inline with the rename field in the board info popover
through the StyleCommand funnel; the Title header retires. Curated set
and the search's standing vs 03's full-browser refusal await ratification.
The pathfinder surface stack landed in e1ffe71 entangled with staged-index
placement drift: the replica's wash block sat inside replicaHeight (a CGFloat
has no .background — HEAD did not build), the body plate rode outside the cut
dim, the lanePlate property and the DESIGN bullet sat away from their kin.
Pure relocation, no new lines: every block moves to the anchor it was written
for. Verified by an isolated build of this tree.

Gap #12 ruled into 04 ▸ the trash-drop bullet: the refusal fall-through's
honest reading (the column declines to be a target, it does not cancel
the held drag) covers only promises the refusal leaves keepable — lane
shadows keep drawing and an ⌥-copy lands where they are. A standing
proposal naming the trash itself is the promise the refusal just broke,
so it withdraws: the drag goes proposal-less over the column, release
with no proposal cancels in agreement with the empty picture, and
lifting ⌥ re-asks at the same address. Implementation filed on the
Implementation board.

is not an alignment), and the external-file mode gets nothing. Force
Touch hardware only, silent no-op elsewhere; performanceTime .default

DragReplicaStyle spells the pathfinder's constant ambient shadow once
(black 16%, radius 2.5, y 1.5) and all three replica faces — card,
lane, trashed lane — wear it via one modifier; the ghost fans compose
from the same faces so every copy inherits it, dimmed by its own
opacity. 03 § Motion's "pickup lift (scale + shadow)" supplies the
scale from the system session but no shadow on the preview image — the
replica is the only place it can come from. BoardMetrics.replicaPadding
was already written to keep exactly this shadow from clipping and was
simply unused until now.

Modifiers were sampled only inside resolveOperation, reached from
dropUpdated and the commit — and drop callbacks arrive only while the
mouse moves, so ⌥ pressed against a still pointer changed nothing
until the next twitch. DragSession now arms a local .flagsChanged
watch for exactly the session's lifetime (begin arms, end stops, the
watchdog guarantees end; ⇧/⌃/caps don't count, a settled hold
swallows) and publishes modifierGeneration; the three retargets record
which window's surface resolved the proposal (RetargetOrigin — weak
registry identity, never board root, so cross-board and two-windows-
one-board both answer correctly), and the hovered window replays that
same retarget with the operation re-resolved FIRST, since the index
space is a function of it. The monitor is injectable — the real one
needs a live event stream no test bundle has.

DragAutoScroller.run() consumes an AsyncStream of CADisplayLink
targetTimestamps from NSView.displayLink(target:selector:) on the
lane's existing anchor view (which was already the right NSView — no
new plumbing). The stream is the lifetime: cancellation ends the
iteration, termination invalidates the link, the link releases its
target. DragAutoScrollClock keeps the retired loop's two non-trivial
rules — first tick scrolls nothing, no tick integrates past 50ms (a
paused link resumes with the whole gap as its delta) — and the math is
frame-rate independent by test: one second at the edge moves 800.0
points at 120Hz and at 60Hz alike. Run-loop mode .common is
load-bearing: a drag runs AppKit's event-tracking mode.

BoardRenderMetrics (DEBUG-only, the pathfinder's counter bag plus a
strip-body discriminator that tells a failed gate from a direct
Observation invalidation) counted at BoardView/LaneView/CardFaceView/
TrashLaneView bodies and MasonryLayout's callbacks. DragSignposts wraps
dropUpdated, retargetCards, commitDrop, and the commit-to-covering-
snapshot release pause; input latency reports honestly against
NSApp.currentEvent's mach base or labels itself base=none — no event
timestamp rides the drop path. BoardRenderPerformanceTests hosts the
real BoardView off-screen: a value-equal reload runs zero lane and zero
card bodies, a one-card edit repaints one card of 180. The lane-body
budget is <= laneCount with the headerInk chain documented and a
two-way tripwire that fails when the fix lands. Methodology in

LaneWidthHold: after the release the session's frozen standard and the
WRITTEN unit count keep governing the strip until a landed snapshot
carries that width back — dividing the already-grown window by the
stale unit total in between was the visible two-step. A deliberately
separate type from CommittedHold: that hold stands in for an
arrangement and any landing retires it; this one stands in for a value
and only a landing that carries it will do. Echo reads through
LaneLayoutMath.displayUnits so the width-1 key-removal case compares
right; the watch rides landedReloads so a value-equal echo still
answers; width writes now return whether bytes reached disk so a
refused or no-op write dissolves the hold instead of arming it; the
1500ms timeout family covers the rest.

Drops @Observable from MarqueeTargetRegistry (MarqueeSession keeps it —
its rect genuinely renders the band). The audit found no body read
anywhere: the begin guard and sample loop read from inside the drag
gesture, the arrows from inside a key handler, so nothing ever needed
invalidating when a frame moved — while every make-room reflow had each
sliding face re-firing onGeometryChange per display frame, each write
paying Observation registrar bookkeeping on top of the reflow's own
render work (the confirmed A/B culprit of 2026-07-31). Write-gating on
drag-active was rejected: a suppressed write never replays, leaving the
band and arrows navigating stale rectangles. A tripwire test pins the
registry against anyone re-adding the macro.

RestingLayoutCache (session-scoped, @ObservationIgnored on DragSession,
cleared at begin and end) holds each lane's resting layout as ids +
heights — never [Card] — keyed on the hovered board's applied
snapshotGeneration, the registry's new heightsGeneration, the lane, and
the operation-following hidden set. The grid stays event-time on purpose
(autoscroll moves a lane's origin with the snapshot standing still), so
re-grounding rule 1 holds exactly: nothing survives a reload, only the
per-sample repetition goes. The steady-state cost of a hover is now the
containment scan plus four stores and a divide.

LaneView and CardFaceView become Equatable and are instantiated through
.equatable(): the strip's body re-runs on every drop-proposal change, and
without the gates that rebuilt every lane and every card face on every
cursor move of a drag. The == compares value inputs and window-lived
collaborator identities; the closures BoardView rebuilds each pass are
deliberately excluded (BoardDropContext.isEquivalent / MarqueeControl.
isEquivalent / CardFaceRole.isEquivalent own that judgment). Observation
reads inside the bodies still self-invalidate — the lane under the drag
keeps re-running; the other lanes stop.

`DragLocality.isSameBoard` resolved symlinks on both URLs, which stats every
path component. It ran five-plus times per `dropUpdated` and again per lane per
body evaluation through `renderedCards` → `hiddenMembers` — order of 50–100
stat calls per mouse-move, and worse on iCloud-backed paths. A pickup stall
sample had it on ~47 of 943 stacks.
`BoardRootKey` mints that canonical spelling once, where the root is, and every
locality comparison downstream is an `==` on two strings. The drag carriers hold
keys rather than URLs, so re-deriving under the cursor is no longer expressible.
`rootURL` keeps the user's spelling — the folder name is the display-name
fallback, and canonicalizing there would visibly rename a board opened through
a pin. The key follows the folder through `relocate(to:)`: a key frozen at open
would collide with a new board opened at the vacated path, and two boards
comparing as one is a cross-board drag silently behaving as a move.

The popover/sheet split lands: a board-scoped, titled, sectioned sheet on
the board window hosts everything setup-shaped, opened from the popover's
Board Settings… row and the new Board ▸ Board Settings… menu row. The three
existing setup controls relocate — add-git (whose noteFormVisible lines now
make the sheet the form-anchored failure surface), branch creation (a
standing field; create-and-switch runs the identical settle sequence), and
the commit-identity fields (the 2s visibility-scoped poll rides with them).
The popover keeps the daily face and its postures; its Pro/mode-none
section becomes header + door (.addGit renamed .noRepository). Availability
is derived from the section inventory (Pro + mode none or git), so pro-m2's
sections can't drift from the doors; the sheet's fields join the
caret-chord disable set. The audit suite pins what the free fixture can
reach; the sheet's own audit is manual until a tier override is ruled.

The loader gains a ParseMemo — the previous walk's parsed documents keyed
by root-relative path, trusted on the git-index heuristic (mtime + size,
no hashing) and passed as an input so the loader stays stateless. A hit
skips exactly one file read; schema, order, coercions, dedupe, and every
directory listing run fresh, so memoized and cold walks are output-
identical (golden-corpus equivalence suite). Entries record only past the
schema gate, so a defect can never be answered from the memo.
The store skips the snapshot assignment wholesale when the fresh model is
value-equal — no @Observable churn, no render pass, no snapshotGeneration
bump — and a new landedReloads counter carries walk-completion for the
three consumers whose subject is the walk, not the snapshot: the card
window's comment thread, the comment search index, and the auto-committer's
covering gate (which now counts a completed walk as covering even when
nothing changed). Warnings and defects move on their own equality; failed
reloads bump neither counter. An injectable ParseCounter makes the
single-file-echo claim a test.

that expands and focuses. Escape's empty-field exit collapses the field as
the keyboard leaves. resignsFirstResponderWithCancel is off so the staged
Escape survives the cancel button. The item ships its own live overflow row
and an above-.high visibility priority, so both custom-view workarounds
retire. The palette copy stays inert through an enablement round-trip the
item's searchField setter would otherwise overwrite.
The centering half of the card is blocked on a Design ruling (03 settles
"trailing") and is not built; the two-homes width question is filed.

Phase 3 of the decision surface, completing the card (01 ▸ Malformed
input, settled 2026-07-31). An attended open's fail-fast walk transforms
the loading window's content into one aggregated surface — never a
sheet, never a chain: defects grouped by class, each class stated once
with its files listed (Reveal in Finder + Open in Editor per row), a
class-level default preselected, per-item override behind a disclosure.
Only honest choices: YAML and malformed-schema get Editor + Re-check
(Skip below the root); newer-than-app gets Skip alone and blocks the
board at the root; the two root repairs — minted index, schema: 1 stamp
— are defaults. Repair and Open applies fixes in one store-less write
bracket and re-walks: clean proceeds, remainder re-aggregates into the
same surface. Cancel and ⌘W retire to welcome's row; restored opens
never see the surface at all (OpenOrigin rides the PendingOpen carrier).
Skips are per-open consent that rides the session — the store retains
the skip set and every reload passes it — and the opened board posts a
warning-tone notice naming what was left out, each item's Reveal riding
the banner strip's new reveal control. On Pro boards the repair bracket
binds its own EchoLedger, heal-marks everything, and the store adopts it
before the committer starts, so repairs land as one separate commit
authored Lanework Integrity — pinned end to end. Also fixed en route: a
retired loading window left its close interception installed and
returned false from windowShouldClose forever, blocking quit.

Phase 2 of the decision surface: the pre-snapshot loading state ruled
2026-07-29 (02 § Launch and window lifecycle), built. The board window
appears immediately at its saved frame, titled with the registry
record's cached name, its content a centered spinner behind an
injectable ~200ms grace — no skeletons, and the first snapshot snaps in
place. The tree walk runs off-main via BoardStoreRegistry.acquireOffMain
(per-board single-flight keyed by file identity — concurrent opens of
one root share a walk, restoration of many boards is genuinely
parallel), landing in BoardStore's new designated init(rootURL:loaded:);
the self-walking init survives as a convenience for its ~470 callers.
⌘W during the walk is real: configureWindow split into a loading half
(frame restore, frame tracking, close interception — installed before
the walk) and a store half (toolbar, widget, hideTitle, undo — installed
at the snap), and the walk lives in an explicitly held BoardOpenWalk so
the user's close and SwiftUI's teardown end in one cancel().
Cancellation is discard-on-completion: nil from acquireOffMain means
nothing was built, nothing retained, and no open-now flag was ever set.
Failure keeps today's sequence exactly: record the launch failure,
welcome's row carries it, the window retires.

Phase 1 of the decision surface (01 ▸ Malformed input, settled
2026-07-31): BoardLoadFailure aggregates the walk's defects in walk
order — stop-at-first retires. Environmental failures (unreadable root,
not-a-directory) stay immediate single-defect throws: there is no walk
to collect from. A defective root index is recorded and the walk
continues into the children (nothing in the walk consults the parsed
root document — verified); a defective lane, card, or trash-entry index
records and skips its subtree, Re-check's whole-walk re-aggregation
being the designed loop for what hides beneath. load(skipping:) is the
per-open skip channel: a skipped path's item is omitted from the model
and surfaces as LoadWarning.userSkipped; root paths are unskippable by
construction. The reload-breakage banner carries the aggregate ("…and
N more"), single-defect sentences byte-identical to before. Two new
multi-defect fixture boards; suite 2591 green.

The titlebar widget grows from a 20×18 chevron into one button saying
the board's name and, on a git-mode Pro board, its branch — click
anywhere across it and the popover opens as before, anchored to the
widget. BoardInfoTitlebarSummary is the pure seam for both strings
(title falls back to the folder name per 01's naming rule; branch only
under pro + git mode, live off the observable HistoryStore.branch).
Board windows now hide the system title display through the same
hideTitle slot card windows adopted — the widget says the name, so the
chrome would only repeat it — while navigationTitle keeps feeding
window.title to the Window menu, Exposé, VoiceOver and restoration.
The widget also refreshes the branch eagerly at appearance: it used to
populate only once the popover had been opened, which would have left
the new branch line empty on a freshly opened board.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
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.
2554 tests / 439 suites green.
