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.

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.

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.

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
RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md. Release build proves it all compiles out.

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 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 trash sorts by modified descending — the arrival rank mint retires
(Ranks.isOrderedForTrash one comparator, loader + merged order agree;
the legacy deleted: migration stamps modified from the tombstone
timestamp where parseable; delete undo steps validate existence-only;
agent guide v8). Trash selection goes kind-blind — ranges, marquee,
Select All, and the successor walk sweep both kinds; the guard moves to
the exits (mixed-payload drop refusal, copy/cut validation). The copy
stamping preflight widens back to comment depth (load-scoped posture —
the board always loads, the gesture refuses whole). Fixes a latent
no-op: trashed-lane drag restore never fired (DragSession.beginLanes
hard-coded the board container).

Delete Immediately is removed entirely (ruling ae1dd96, Redesign card
d40bfac1): the delete vocabulary is purely staged — board → trash,
trash → permanent (confirmed on no-git boards), Empty Trash for bulk.
Gone: File ▸ Delete Immediately (⌥⌘⌫) and its validation, both
⌥-alternate context rows (card + the permanently-disabled lane row),
the VO custom action, BoardStore.deleteImmediately,
TrashModel.canDeleteImmediately, TrashConfirmations' .purge action
(zero surviving callers — trash-side Delete always used
.deleteTrashCards), and the pinning tests. purgePrompt drops its
now-single-purpose container parameter (.trash is the only surviving
caller). BoardWriter.purgeItem survives — create-undo rollback still
needs it — with its comment rewritten. README's trash paragraph drops
the ⌥⌘⌫ sentence.
The other 2026-07-30 rulings (2ec2c95 registry freshness stamp,
c741b02 unified-log-as-coerce-consumer) required no code changes —
already conformant.

Nine rulings land as code. Reorders don't stamp — one container-change
predicate (WriteOperation.rewritesOrderOnly): within-container reorders
and the renumber rescale rewrite only order, while cross-lane, cross-board,
and trash moves stamp modified and clear modified-by; no trash special
case exists, and the m8 undo inverses conform through the same seam.
Copies are transactions: the root-strict/nested-lenient split retires for
a whole-subtree stampability preflight that refuses loudly naming the
offender, and every item-level copy severs remote/remote-state at every
level (whole-board forks carry them verbatim). Paste refuses, never
degrades: the embedded-index.md materialization and its loss row retire;
a missing staged snapshot produces nothing and posts an error-tone
one-shot named from manifest metadata. Coerce-tier fallbacks log through
the Defect stream with path context attached loader-side. Displacement is
level-uniform: a file squatting attachments inside a card heals by the
same rename ladder as board-root squatters; comments stays tolerated.
Delete Immediately joins card and lane context menus as Delete's
⌥-alternate with its own VO custom action, routed through an explicit
container so the menu target outranks standing selection. Agent guide v7
teaches the stamp discipline and the card-level attachments claim, and
sheds two stale v6 lines (lanes trash now; kind is taught). Verified
conformant, unchanged: edition-aware Undo/Redo disable, trash marquee
full-height backdrop.

The replica framed to a font-derived nominal width, so faces in wide
lanes' interior masonry columns and narrow lanes dragged a preview of
the wrong size and the cursor could sit over empty space beside it.
CardFaceView's existing onGeometryChange now reports size, not height
alone - height still feeds LaneDropRegistry, width feeds the replica -
and BoardMetrics.cardReplicaWidth(measured:bodyPointSize:) keeps the
old figure as the documented not-yet-laid-out fallback. Same row, same
paddings, same lineLimit at the same width means the same height, so
the preview is now an exact overlay of the face it left.
Manual verification pending alongside the lane grab-point card: 3x vs
1x lanes, interior masonry columns, window re-divide, trash rows,
large text sizes, drag-at-creation fallback.
3 tests. 1661 green on both schemes.

Full relative text scaling per DESIGN/10: BoardMetrics is the board
strip's geometry as a pure function of the body point size
(CardWindowMetrics' twin) — lane plate/header/band, card
corner/stripe/padding, masonry spacing, the drop model's nominal card
height, resize-handle geometry, trash hatch pitch, and both window
floors all derive from an em; CardFaceMetrics folded in. The two fixed
font sizes (welcome brand/glyph) went relative; the toolbar search
field is 17 ems like the transient bar's. The no-horizontal-scroll
invariant is pinned by test at six text sizes by twelve lane counts.
Accommodations is Motion's sibling for the visual settings: Increase
Contrast adds a flat point to strokes (monotone, hierarchy-preserving),
gives borderless card/lane plates a resting separator hairline, and
takes faded accents to full alpha; Reduce Transparency turns the
transient search bar's glass solid and does the same for the alpha
washes that composite over a user-chosen board background (trash plate,
hatched header, drag shadow). Reduce Motion audited — every animated
surface already routes through Motion with a reduced variant; no gaps.
Full Keyboard Access: the template chooser's tiles were pointer-only —
now focusable, arrow-navigable (clamped, StyleWellGrid's rule), Space
picks, Return stays the sheet's default action, focus names the
selection one-way. The board's single tab stop shows its focus ring
under FKA (focusEffectDisabled inverts). Style editor verified already
conformant. Edge accents verified text-free; trash hatch pitch now
font-derived so it still reads as hatching at large text.

The board window's accessibility tree per DESIGN/10: lanes are containers
labeled "<title>, lane, N cards" (filter-aware count = renderedCards, the
badge's own collection); cards are one flattened element each — label =
title or the untitled placeholder, value = attachment count + "cut,
pending paste", selection via trait; face icon, stripe, and paperclip are
decorative and hidden. Masonry never leaks into traversal: slots carry
order-keyed accessibilitySortPriority, so a wide lane reads by card order,
not column-major. Lane titles carry the heading trait for the rotor.
VO-Space is the ⌘-click analogue routed through the existing
BoardStore.click funnel (SelectionGrammar stays the single answer for
toggle and container-boundary rules) — cards and lane headers both.
Context-menu rows double as custom accessibility actions, each calling
the same private method as its menu row so the surfaces cannot drift;
trash cards expose Delete and Reveal in Finder and never Open. The trash
column is pinned last via sort priority 0, its label/value re-routed
through the new AccessibilityPhrases seam; toggling trash visibility
posts a one-line announcement from the store seam (both command faces).
The invisible lane-resize drag strip leaves the tree — the stepper and
menu items are the accessible width path.
AccessibilityPhrases is the pure vocabulary seam (labels, values, plural
folding shared with TrashModel.phrase), pinned by its own test suite.
Both schemes build; 1466 unit tests green.

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.
