background is {color:, image:} and only a mapping at every level; the board's image paints the full window under a transparent title bar, with a thin-material frost strip keeping the chrome legible and the standard accommodations intact.

The kind: comment field table lands in IntegrityRules (the per-kind
hook's first exercise), CommentThread reads one card's thread
window-scoped (the board walk stays O(cards)), and CommentWriter gains
the five gestures: draft save, post (rename .draft to a fresh UUID,
created/modified restamped in the bracket), edit, delete into
comments/.trash/, and the purge with its crash-residue memo. Post and
delete register move-based undo steps; draft saves, edits, and the
purge deliberately register nothing (13's no-capture rule). Copy
boundaries strip comments/.trash, carry .draft verbatim, and remint
threads; comments graduates to a displacing claimed name, with .draft,
.trash, and a comment's attachments claimed one level down.
CommentPath classifies changed paths into the 06 verb family for
later announcer/composer wiring.
One stated narrowing pending a ruling (filed on the findings board):
the copy transaction's refuse-whole preflight stays cards-and-lanes —
an unstampable copied comment copies verbatim with a log line, because
comment defects never refuse.

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.
Both schemes 1854 tests / 318 suites green; verify-editions 30/30.

The 2026-07-29 integrity design pass, consolidated (DESIGN/01 -
Validation and healing; DESIGN/02 - Components): IntegrityRules
(Storage, pure) is the one home for the identity predicate and
canonical form (BoardWriter.canonicalIdentity deleted, ItemID and the
loader forward to it), the per-field rulebook, uneditable shapes,
per-kind index validation, the reserved-name tables, and the trash
kind discriminator (values trusted - kind: lane/card explicit,
unrecognized falls to shape). LoadResult's ad-hoc channels fold into
one typed Defect stream (looseCardFiles / legacyTombstone /
claimedNameSquatted, per-defect heal signatures); the old accessors
survive as computed views.
HealScheduler (LiveStore) states the six-step heal pattern once -
resting-clear, lock gate, isWritableFile gate (now covering all four
heals), signature memo armed-before-attempt with explicit
clear-on-success, disk re-verify in each write half, one banner-posture
table (BannerCenter keeps all phrasing). The three hand-rolled healers
run on it with behavior preserved - including the
relocation-notice-despite-partial-failure quirk, deliberately. Heals
run at the reload tail AND at registry acquire, closing the
migration-never-fires-at-open asymmetry. Displacement runs first: a
squatted .trash would otherwise fail the migration and arm its memo
against an unchanged picture.
Claimed-name squatters (ruled today, 62c47a2) displace by the shared
Finder-style rename ladder - preserved verbatim, symlinks moved as
links, nothing stamped; AgentGuide's untouchable-skip upgrades to
displace-then-write, the CLAUDE.user.md-taken skip stands. kind stamps
on every create and backfills on any index rewrite via the on-touch
seam (placement resolver stamps nothing when the parent is unknown -
a guessed kind is worse than an absent one; board-root writers declare
theirs). Heal writes mark their EchoLedger receipts (inert in base;
pro-m1's committer will split them into their own commits). The
renumber ask-renumber-ask-again two-step is one shared helper, adopted
at all nine call sites.
69 tests added. 1738 green on both schemes.

The single point through which every mutation becomes a filesystem
operation: read fresh from disk (strict byte-faithful UTF-8), refuse
readable-but-uneditable frontmatter shapes, apply the edit through the
span engine, stamp modified / clear modified-by, then temp-file+rename
atomically. Renumber-visible-children is the sole minimal-touch
exception, tombstones untouched. Structured BoardWriteError carries
operation + path + reason for the future banner surface.
Alongside, three edges the card surfaced:
- The loader now decodes byte-faithfully too, so a BOM'd or non-UTF-8
index.md is rejected at load per the encoding contract, instead of
loading via NSString's silent BOM strip and then refusing every write.
- An appended frontmatter line adopts the file's prevailing line ending
(a CRLF file stays uniformly CRLF when a stamp first lands in it).
- Empty-but-not-blank frontmatter ({}, null, ~) is detected as
uneditable — appending after it would be unparseable YAML.
30 new unit tests; 176 total green.

rawValue and the coercion/malformed paths now stop at the quote-aware
inline-comment boundary, so 'title: 2048 # note' coerces to "2048"
and a read-then-write no longer compounds the comment (pinned
idempotent). Strictly read-side; round-trip bytes untouched. +6 tests
(124 total).

Duplicates: Yams' duplicate-key error is disarmed by placeholder-
renaming first occurrences and re-composing (line count preserved, so
span layout stays exact); reads take the last occurrence, set()
rewrites the winner and clears earlier twins, remove() clears all.
Top-level only — nested duplicates stay YAML errors (doc updated).
Re-splice: an inline comment on a rewritten scalar line survives, with
quote-aware detection so a # inside quotes is never a comment. +31
tests (118 total).
