One style-editor component, anchor-agnostic: a background grid (None
well plus the 12 palette colors) and a curated symbol grid (the
pathfinder's five-dozen set, leading well removing the icon key for
the level default), selection-aware across cards, lanes, and the
board itself. Batch edits compute per-dimension state — uniform,
mixed (no well selected), or an off-palette value labeled verbatim
outside the grids — and choosing a well applies to the whole target
set as one write bracket, skipping no-ops per field. The popover
tracks its target set live per the freshly ratified rule: targets
re-resolve by UUID on every reload, a vanished target leaves the set,
an emptied set dismisses the editor, and nothing ever silently
retargets to the board. Anchors landing now: Board > Style
(Opt-Cmd-S) and the card/lane context menus, which also carry the
quick-style recents row (app-wide, persisted, capped at six, None
never recorded) and the lane's width control twinning the menu
chords. The styling system's other two renders arrive with it: a
lane's background paints the C7 top-edge band, the board's paints
the window content background — malformed values paint nothing and
stay byte-identical on disk. 31 new tests.

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.

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.
