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.

Gap #10 ruled into 04 ▸ Search's single-source-of-truth bullet: zones,
shadow, and write all resolve through the same filtered list — the
position the shadow shows is the landing the write performs. The slot's
meaning in the full order is its visible anchor (after the visible
predecessor, before the visible successor at the lane top, true end in a
query-emptied lane; multi-card in proposal order beside the anchor);
hidden cards keep their ranks untouched, and the gesture's meaning
survives the query's clearing. The rendered space includes the new-card
placeholder. Code diverges today — implementation filed on the
Implementation board.

2026-07-30 design pass (with the user), superseding the 2026-07-27
two-app split and the 2026-07-29 App Group ruling. Rulings:
- One Mac App Store app (dev.rzen.indie.Kanban, free, 2.0 updates the
existing record); Lanework Pro = auto-renewable subscription (StoreKit
2) unlocking the git tier; libgit2 compiles in dormant. The KanbanPro
target, module-alias tests, verify-editions, UTI/About/Types twins all
retire. Teams stays deferred — probably a separate app, and never on a
shared app group.
- No grandfathering: 1.x's free git users get the inert-.git posture;
unsubscribed and lapsed are one state — histories freeze, resume on
subscribe via the committer's catch-up commit.
- Entitlement = local read of StoreKit's signed transaction store at
board-session composition; never a network call on the open path;
subscribe effective at next open (purchase flow offers reopen); lapse
never interrupts an open session; expiry-while-offline with auto-renew
on holds in grace until a real refresh.
- App Group removed wholesale: registry, clipboard staging, template
store, defaults return to ordinary Application Support; grant slots
collapse to one bookmark, open-now to one flag; freshness stamp,
pid-liveness line, group-id provisioning risk all dissolve.
- Quiet signposts carry over; Settings gains the Pro section (subscribe/
manage/restore) as the third named Pro surface.
12-editions.md rewritten as the tiers doc; edition vocabulary swept to
tiers across 00-13, README, WISHLIST.

The below-last-row rubber-band ruling (Resolved card 4ff6537d) survived two trash-section rewrites in code but not in prose; 04's origin clause now states the extent — full column height, card and lane rows alike, no dead zone.
Board: Minor card c9c4de2f → Resolved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Ruled 2026-07-29, new block in 12: Pro claims the .kanban default on first launch once (the purchase is the consent; a manual reassignment back is respected; base never claims). The same board open in both apps is the designed foreign-writer story — base has no git so there is no committer contention, no board-level lock (files-first stays absolute), no gate; open-now flags go per-edition on the shared record so restoration stays edition-local, and the popover gains a pid-liveness-checked "Also open in Lanework Pro" line. The clipboard staging store homes in the App Group container, making cross-edition copy/paste full-fidelity; the degraded fallback remains for genuinely missing snapshots.
Board: Gap card 7a244f9f → Resolved (Gaps lane now empty); App Group Implementation card gains the flags/staging/handler bullets.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
User-proposed and ruled 2026-07-29, retiring the design's sole
destructive delete: lane delete becomes a move into .trash/, exactly as
cards move. Full rationale on the Redesign board's Resolved card;
implementation is post-m12 ("Lanes delete into the trash" on the
Backlog) — the docs deliberately lead the code until then.
- 01: kind: lane always present on lane frontmatter (created with the
lane, healed on touch, never stripped) — discriminates lane from card
in the flat .trash/, where an empty lane is shape-identical to a
card; legacy deleted: on lanes is now simply ignored (no migration,
no notice — backward compatibility deliberately not funded).
- 03: trashed lane = opaque dimmed row with card count, restores whole
or purges whole; confirms count lane freight; fixed 03's own copy of
the "native undo restores a permanent delete" contradiction.
- 04: delete staged by place for lanes too (board→trash no dialog,
trash→permanent confirmed); lane drop on shown trash deletes;
kind-homogeneous trash selections, ranges skip by kind; ⌘X/⌘V restore
rides the existing lane-paste rule.
- 10: trashed lane is one flattened element, never a container.
- 13: lane delete inverse = ordinary move back; recreate-from-capture
retires — no destructive delete remains outside the trash.
- 08: agent guide v6 — lanes trash by move, kind: lane taught.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
The tombstone model is retired wholesale: deletion is a move into the reserved
<root>/.trash/, always entering at the top (rank minting — no deleted: key, no
timestamp sort), with modified stamped for the future age-based purge. Lanes
are never trashed — lane delete is physical, native undo in-session the net.
Put Back is gone: restore is drag-out or cut+paste (⌘X now enabled in the
trash as the keyboard restore path). Trash cards are ordinary cards — search,
selection, clipboard, and rendering uniform — and one container boundary
replaces the effective-liveness, ancestor-walk, and kind-homogeneity machinery
across 02 and 04. Delete stages by place (board moves, trash deletes
permanently under the recoverability confirm); legacy deleted: keys migrate
without destroying (cards relocate, lanes return live, notices). Templates
exclude .trash; Duplicate carries it; the agent guide teaches delete-as-move.
Materialized reserved lanes are named as a pattern — .archive is WISHLIST #8,
and the backed-out release-presentation question is marked open in 03.
Ruling: Redesign board Resolved card e8f1a6c2; 19 mooted tombstone-era rulings
moved to the board's new Mooted lane.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Rulings written in place: the drop settle yields to the system drag session
(fly-to-slot deferred to WISHLIST #7) and the held proposal's home is the
app-wide DragSession — rendering the arrangement means rendering the card at
release (03, 02); folder drops refuse at hover with loss-row reporting, created
cards land positionally, N shadows, header resolves topmost, shadow-only
feedback (04); the banner vocabulary gains the warning-tone loss row class
(02); all user-initiated creation clears the search (04); loose files beside a
card's index.md relocate into attachments/ with notice — files-only carve-out,
paste normalizes at the boundary, the agent guide teaches it (01, 04, 08);
dropping a card on the shown trash deletes it, shadow pinned topmost (04);
query-emptied lanes keep their slot, the out-transition stays reachable, an
open rename survives the filter, pasteboard staleness accepted (04).
The face carousel does not carry over: the pathfinder's selection-keyed dual
presentation proved undesirable — one presentation per card, selection changes
styling never geometry; the attachment chip and the card window are the whole
media story (03, 01, 10, 11; the same-day carousel settlements superseded on
their Resolved cards).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
Edition split follow-through: 12-editions.md and 13-native-undo.md join the
corpus; git-era docs (06, 07) are Pro-scoped and cross-references realigned.
Resolution session rulings written in place: caret chords yield to any focused
text control (04, 11); the drop settle holds its proposal as overlay state and
02 gains the overlays family; Duplicate gets the save-panel fallback and a
cancellable copy walk (03); Finder open is a standard document open (02);
failed first opens record before loading with the folder name provisional (02);
trash pointer ranges skip by kind, full-height marquee surface, Select All by
kind, rows-only trashed universe (02, 04); Empty Trash counts entries (03);
create handoff reads as one arrival (02); range-anchor lifecycle, board-
background click grammar, jump landing cards, lane-domain shift-arrows (04);
Reduce Motion restated per voice (10).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CqjXB7ASoWtbyoGod68k97
- 02: welcome counts are live items only; failed first opens still record;
duplicate-identity registry records merge silently (newest wins);
BoardStore's FolderWatcher pointer reads "below"
- 11: lane-header new-card button inventoried (click names its target lane,
overriding 04's ⌘N rule — cross-referenced there); attachments quiet-add
affordance listed as a twin; Undo/Redo and Pull/Push rows gain the
abnormal-state pause, read-only lock, and unresolvable-remote conditions;
welcome scope added to Reveal in Finder
- 03/11: one lane context menu (header or empty space) with the full
inventory, replacing the split rows
- 09: instantiated boards are never in git mode — actual mode follows
detection at the destination (repo-nested possible)
- 08: the app never writes an existing CLAUDE.user.md; one-time rescue
creation stated as the exception
- README: pathfinder path corrected to ../../Kanban

The rubber-band had its boundary sentence; the keyboard extend gesture had
none. Settled: a ⇧-arrow that would cross live↔trash or card↔lane-entry is
inert — never move-and-replace — keeping the homogeneity invariants
unbreakable by keyboard while plain arrows still walk across.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Paste's anchor rules never accounted for a tombstoned selection, and a
literal reading filed a pasted lane beside a trashed card's on-disk lane.
Settled: ⌘V stays enabled and behaves as with nothing selected (card
payload to the last-active lane, lane payload to the board's right end).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
The fixed grammar keys were formally live over the board while the search
field had focus, letting a reflexive Return fire rename/create and destroy
the query. Settled: every key acts on the field (no pass-throughs), Return
no-ops, Tab moves focus to the filtered board with the query intact, and
Escape stages — clear query, then exit field, with board-focus Escape
clearing an active search before its clear-selection meaning.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Every lane command keyed off "a selected lane" with no drag-free way to
create one. Settled: ⌥↑ with the lane's first card selected selects the
lane (↓/⌥↓ descend back; ⌥↑ then inert), an empty selection seeds at the
first lane's first card, and a plain click on the lane title bar selects
with the drag surface engaging only on movement.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
04's drag rule called a within-board lane duplicate unsupported while the
clipboard rules quietly permitted it via same-board lane paste. Settled in
favor of the clipboard: the duplicate is supported there (fresh GUIDs,
tombstones stripped, no menu-validation special case) and merely not
available by drag — ⌥ stays ignored on lane drags so the gesture remains a
clean reorder.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
- 10 cites 11 for Add Attachment and the lane-width menu items
- 04 uses ⌘/⇧ symbols for click modifiers; card moves scoped to the
⌥⌘ chord; ../WISHLIST.md path fixed
- 03 says stepper (plus the menu pair) in the editing-surfaces table
- 06 says one commit per debounce window
- 03/10 Reduce Motion lists aligned at five items; rubber-band
disambiguated as the lane-resize feedback
- 11 requires the trash shown for Empty Trash
- 02 rewords and-peers
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: the rename editor follows its card by UUID through
foreign moves, discards silently when the target vanishes or flips
liveness, and a mid-search rename re-runs the predicate like any edit
— creation stays the search filter's only carve-out.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: eager staging at copy time, at most the current copy
kept (sweep at launch and each copy against pasteboard references,
surviving relaunch), and attachment-less fallback pastes surface a
one-shot banner naming the loss.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Fills the gap: resting zones recompute per snapshot (frozen inputs are
the dragged items' sizes and the pointer); proposals re-validate by
liveness with release-cancels-when-invalid; an emptied drag cancels
itself, partial vanishing drops survivors.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the contract-vs-practice contradiction: 04/10/11 now state the
menu home is what makes every board function keyboard-reachable and
remappable; 11's no-default rows are deliberate, not violations.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJ7PhFNmQ19bvy9RMD6GSb
Resolves the 02-vs-04 contradiction: foreign edits that flip deleted:
on a selected card eject it from the selection (and pending cut, which
already behaved this way), so 04's homogeneous-by-liveness invariant
holds across reloads and menu validation never sees a mixed selection.
