The lane title bar becomes real: leading SF Symbol (hand-written names
render leniently, unknown ones fall back to the level default), title
or secondary untitled placeholder, a quiet count badge that counts
exactly the cards the body renders (so the m5 search filter is
followed by construction), and a new-card button. The whole bar is
the reorder drag surface — no grip — with click-vs-movement splitting
select from drag; a pure proposal function maps the drag to an
insertion index and release commits through the Writer's same-parent
degenerate reorder, compacting and retrying when midpoint precision
runs out. Clicking never edits: inline rename is Return on the sole
selected card or Board > Rename for either kind, a third transient
editor beside the placeholder that tracks its target by UUID, commits
on focus loss, discards silently when the target vanishes, and
removes the title key on an empty commit. The new-card placeholder
renders at last — the settled Cmd-N target rule (pure, tested) files
it after the anchor card, at a selected lane's bottom, or into the
last-active lane; Return commits and re-selects the lane, Cmd-Return
also opens the card window, and a failed create discards the overlay.
New Card / New Lane / Rename land in the menus with focused-editor
and read-only validation; rename gets its own WriteOperation case in
the banner vocabulary. 59 new tests.

The lane strip replaces the placeholder board: window width divides
across the lanes' width units (no horizontal scroll, no minimum width,
degenerate compression accepted), a lane of n units flowing its cards
into n round-robin masonry columns via a measurement-cached Layout.
Width has two deliberately opposite controls, both landing here: the
right-edge drag (ported verbatim from the pathfinder's ColumnResize)
freezes the 1x standard at drag start, snaps between integer widths
with the asymmetric shadow-leads tick and 10pt re-entry, grows the
window one standard width per snap so siblings keep their exact
pixels, and rubber-bands at the screen's visible frame — uncapped
otherwise; the Increase/Decrease Lane Width items (new Board menu,
Cmd-Opt-arrows) are the stepper's keyboard face and re-divide the
existing window width instead, never touching the window. Width
changes write through the new .resize WriteOperation ("Couldn't
resize…" in the banner vocabulary, which grows with the surfaces by
design); malformed width values render as one unit and stay untouched
on disk. 27 new tests port the pathfinder's resize-math suite onto
the uncapped range and pin the write path's fidelity.

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.
Full suite 352 tests in 64 suites green. Two findings filed.

The banner surface as one vocabulary (Kanban/LiveStore/BannerCenter,
Kanban/UI/BannerStripView): a pure precedence rule — in-progress pinned
above the collapse (ratified mid-build), lock > breakage > one-shot
write failures > commit+attachment, signposts last — with all
user-facing phrasing owned here via exhaustive switches over the closed
WriteOperation enum; free-form English survives only in diagnostics.
performWrite posts its failures before rethrowing, so no one-shot can
bypass the strip; refusals under lock post nothing.
The lock vocabulary completes: vanishedRoot and unwritableLocation join
bracketedReloadFailed, each with its own clearing rule (unwritable
clears only on a reconciling reload's writability re-probe). The
registry now owns root recovery: bookmark re-resolution absorbs renames
transparently, a dead root locks read-only and re-arms FSEvents on the
gone path so the root's return round-trips back through rootChanged,
re-minting and re-keying on the way. DirtyBufferGuard is the one modal
moment, retry / save a copy / discard, no fourth button.
36 new tests; full suite 333 tests in 62 suites green. Five findings
filed on the Redesign board.

The parallel design session settled the tombstoned-ancestor question:
a card counts as trashed if its own flag or its lane's says so, so
tombstoning a lane ejects its cards from a live selection — they render
nowhere once the lane collapses to a single trash entry, and nothing
invisible may stay selected, drag-included, or pending-cut. One-line
predicate change in Selection.resolved(against:), plus the test.
Full BoardStore suite green (15 tests).

Per-board @Observable MainActor hub (Kanban/LiveStore/): watcher signals
drive off-main tree walks with a generation guard, single-flight
coalescing (strongest pending origin, watcher's merge rule), and the
resilience contract — a failed reload never replaces a good snapshot,
per-file breakage never locks editing, and a wholesale operation
(performWholesale) arms a reload-must-succeed-or-lock floor so a failed
post-bracket reload flips the board read-only until a good reload heals
it. Selection is a pure UUID-set value re-resolved on every swap;
liveness flips eject. performWrite brackets the watcher so Writer
round-trips come back app-mediated.
14 store tests; full suite 279 tests in 54 suites green. Three findings
filed on the Redesign board.
