Boards, lanes, and cards all show their frontmatter icon leading the
row, tinted through the palette with a secondary fallback; the board
scanner now reads icon and iconColor from the same one-file parse as
the title. Lane and card lists gain the segmented Manual/Name/Recent
control — display-only sorting layered over the rank order, never
rewriting what's on disk.

Step 7 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the companions. The agent guide bumps to v11: the Git section teaches repo-resident etiquette alone (stage only your own paths, commit your own changes, leave app-maintained files to the app) — existing boards heal to the new text on next open. README re-anchors: the four git feature bullets out, tiers say the complete Mac experience is free, and one bullet states the format's git-friendliness promise. The changelog drops the never-shipped git entries. DESIGN re-rules: 06 retired with Undo routing migrated to 13 (now the sole substrate's doc, seam kept open), 07 retired as written pending the ops-service workstream, 14 retired as superseded record, 12 carries the second pivot note, the index reflects all of it; the charter gets a pointer note (the anchors' full re-ruling stays with the user). InertGitTests renames to GitAgnosticStorageTests — the excision restores its original claim app-wide. And the sweep: ~70 comment sites across 36 files adjudicated against the keeper list, every present-tense description of the excised machinery made past tense or repointed, keepers untouched. 2,707 tests green.

A segmented control above the mobile board list, remembered across
launches: Name keeps the index's stable title order, Recent sorts by
content-change date descending with undated boards last and ties held
stable against refresh reshuffling.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Step 6 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the proving step: the two packages and their rationale blocks (including the stale never-runs-in-the-free-app note) come out of project.yml, the project regenerates, and the build resolves clean — nothing living referenced libgit2. Resurrection pins (SwiftGitX 0.4.0, libgit2 1.9.2) are recorded in the plan and at the pre-git-excision tag. 2,707 tests green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
Step 5 of strategy/01-git-excision.md: the seventeen dead engine files and the five remaining git test suites go (InertGitTests stays — the naming footgun is a Storage keeper). Two rescues ride ahead of the delete: HarvestedReceipt relocates to EchoLedger (the harvest surface outlives its git consumer; foundation for the deferred journal), and commentTimestamps joins the narrator it always served. The provider-swap purge test re-expresses over a git-free fake; the duplicate-id ladder keeps every pure historyRank pin and loses only the two ranker-driven ones. Resurrection point: tag pre-git-excision. 2,707 tests green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
IndieBackup comes out whole: the package, the Backup directory, the Settings section, the .kanbanbackup document type and its onOpenURL restore path. Settings is now the About section alone. The Files-app keys stay — they serve local-board visibility, not backups. Board sharing as a zipped archive is the planned replacement and is deliberately not started here.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Step 4 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the entangled one: AppModel's makeHistoryProvider collapses to the native provider (the seam stays injectable per the reversibility posture), the session's git state and its wiring go (wireGitUndo, wireBranchSwitching, the card-session staging threading), BoardStore sheds commitSeam and the identity-history ranker (the loader's nil-safe rung now tops out at birth date — today's no-git behavior), SessionSettleGate keeps the gate and inherits the path utility it borrowed, BoardRegistry drops the persisted operation stamp (decode-safe), and the git banner family leaves BannerCenter with its announcer and accessibility phrases. One missed harvest tie severed (the narrator's root subject is its own now). Nothing outside Kanban/Git/ references the stack — proven by sweep. 2,855 tests green.

The Mac set's 1024 master is full-bleed square artwork already, so it carries over whole: alpha-flattened (App Store icons must be opaque) into a single-size iOS AppIcon set, and the target points at it.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
A trailing swipe on a board row opens Board Settings, whose first setting is location: iCloud or Local, with a confirmed move to the other side — destructive-styled only outbound, because leaving iCloud is the direction that sheds protection. The move is setUbiquitous against the real container and a coordinated move under the DEBUG stand-in; evacuation sweeps materialization first and refuses honestly while content is still downloading. The local home is the sandbox Documents folder, published to the Files app, so a local board is still a folder the user owns.
With a second home the iCloud wall softens (user-ruled 2026-08-08): the index always reaches ready, cloud unavailability becomes an inline notice with a retry, creates land locally when there is no account, and LANEWORK_FORCE_NO_ICLOUD makes that state reproducible in tests regardless of the machine's sign-in. Known gap, now user-reachable: backup remains iCloud-only, so local boards sit outside it.

Step 3 of strategy/01-git-excision.md: the popover strip is Info/Theme/Sync, the titlebar widget says the name alone, the card window's History section and its slot go, Board ▸ Pull/Push comes out with the RemoteCommands scaffold, and View ▸ History re-tags from the commit trail to the deferred foreign-change journal. The Sync placeholder re-annotates to the future ops-based sync service. Four git test suites leave with the surfaces they pinned (BoardGitSetup, BoardInfoPopover, BranchSwitch, GitUndo). The git engine still compiles underneath, unreferenced by UI. 2,890 tests green.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
Step 2 of strategy/01-git-excision.md: CommitMessageEngine and the composer seam relocate to a neutral module renamed away from commit vocabulary (ChangeNarrator, ChangeNarrationRequest, ChangeNarrating, SemanticChangeNarration, ChangeAuthorship), GitChangedPath extracts from GitCommitOperation as ChangedPath, and the one git tie severs — authorship's foreign case carries a display name, not a GitIdentity. The spec tests transplant as ChangeNarratorTests, alive until the journal work begins. 3,009 tests green.

Under parallel-build load the six-turn settle let the first click land before the masonry's measurement passes did, on the empty-space layer instead of a card — which the dragless layer holds forever in a sterile queue, reading as a dead click. Bisect-verified environmental (same failure at every commit back to the suite's birth); with the settle, click → selection in 41 ms.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
The mobile app's first runtime coverage, and its first runtime, full stop: the suite launches the real app over a scratch directory seeded from rich-board.kanban via LANEWORK_LOCAL_ROOT, walks boards to lanes to cards to the card editor, retitles a card and polls the frontmatter on disk until the write lands, then taps through the Settings About section to see the changelog and license actually render. No iCloud account, no metadata query — the DEBUG override is the whole harness.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
The About section lands last in the mobile Settings form, mirroring the Mac AboutBox voice: license link, copyright, and a version label that doubles as the changelog link. The changelog is the phone app's own — a separate product with its own 1.0, so the Mac CHANGELOG.md would narrate someone else's releases. The Update Build Info stamping phase rides along so the version line can carry a build number and date.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
The dragless empty-space layer's clicks are held forever in a sterile synthetic queue (and injected micro-motion deadlocks AppKit's tracking loop), so the empty-space pins leave the suite; their truth is established on real event streams (2026-08-07). What remains pinned is the original defect's surface: instant card selection, double-click opens without a placeholder, right-click reaching its menu.

research/08-competitive-analysis.md profiles the direct set (features, pricing, traction, matrices, ranked threats); strategy/01-git-excision.md carries the 2026-08-08 ruling to excise app-managed git, with keepers, harvest, delete list, and sequencing. Both indexed.

A second product, not a second edition: dev.rzen.indie.KanbanMobile (iOS 26,
iPhone-only) compiles Kanban/Storage as source files, so a format change that
breaks the phone breaks this build the day it's made. Boards live in
iCloud.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban — named after the Mac bundle id so the Mac app can
adopt the container later without a migration; until then the folder is
"Lanework" in iCloud Drive and the Mac opens boards there through the open
panel.
EchoLedger grows #if os(macOS) gates around its three consumer surfaces
(verdicts/BoardDiff, harvest/HarvestedReceipt, comment retirement/CommentPath)
— the recording side BoardWriter stamps compiles on every platform, and the
gates are the seam a future phone verdict surface lands behind. AgentGuide
stays Mac-only.
The phone's watcher is NSMetadataQuery: BoardIndexStore (one query, package
UTI export makes a .kanban directory one item, equality-gated rescans,
download kicks per pass), BoardSession (materialization sweep before every
fail-fast walk, NSFileCoordinator brackets, perform{} = coordinated write then
awaited reload, ParseMemo threaded), CloudHome (off-main container resolution,
LANEWORK_LOCAL_ROOT DEBUG override for simulator work without an account).
Screens: Boards -> lanes -> cards -> card editor, value-routed by ItemID with
every screen re-reading the live snapshot; leading swipe moves a card via
confirmationDialog, trailing swipe sends it to .trash/; the editor commits
title through the Mac's canonical rename path and body through writeBody, with
drafts that survive reloads; attributes are the three typed style fields
(icon, iconColor, background) — labels is a reserved unknown-field key and
deliberately has no editor. Settings carries IndieBackup (backup root = the
container's Documents, restore rebuild = an index rescan, controller
constructed only once the home resolves).
Arbiter: KanbanMobile green for iOS Simulator, Kanban green for macOS, 3006
unit tests / 517 suites passed (PointerLatencyTests excluded — mid-rework
uncommitted in a parallel session).

BoardInfoTab gains .sync last in the strip, rendering BoardSyncTabView's one
honest caption. The tab claims the position where 07's remote half will
live without ruling where its setup surfaces land — that stays the open
Redesign card's question.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
The titlebar widget becomes a two-line identity block: the board glyph at
22pt spanning both lines, the title over the branch (git-mode only, smaller
and secondary), the em-dash retired. New Branch… returns to the switch menu
behind a divider, revealing an inline name field — the pre-split shape. The
board settings sheet retires whole: add-git and commit identity render
inline in the Git tab's postures (BoardGitSetup.swift), the availability
rule collapses into BoardGitSetupSection.resolve, and Board ▸ Board
Settings… leaves the menu bar. Where 07's remote/credential setup surfaces
land is deliberately left open — filed on the Redesign board.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
Settings loses its Lanework Pro section and the About box its Pro line —
no surface names or sells Pro while the split is re-decided. The machinery
underneath (ProEntitlement, ProStorefront, ProSettingsSection, the
recorded session tier) stays compiled and tested, documented as dormant
since the pivot. CHANGELOG's two 2.0 entries and README's feature list
drop the Pro-gated framing while keeping the facts.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
HistoryStore.compose(boardRoot📒) returns non-optional and runs for
every session — the nil the gate produced was the only nil it ever had.
makeHistoryProvider is a one-axis decision: git-mode boards bind the git
provider, everything else native, in every tier; Session.tier stays
recorded, dormant. BoardGitSection shrinks to the four mode postures
(.absent and .proPointer die, BoardGitNote and the .git probe with them);
every board carries all three popover tabs (BoardInfoTab.available
retired); the titlebar branch shows on any git-mode board; the settings
sheet and card History section stop reading tier. InertGitTests is
repurposed as UntouchedGitTests — the file layer still never opens .git,
now load-bearing for mode-none boards. The accessibility audit reaches the
settings sheet at last: the fixture board hosts it in every tier, so the
free-fixture disabled-row test becomes an open-and-audit test.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
12-editions gains the dated PIVOT note: git integration is tier-independent
— every tier composes the git stack on git-mode boards — because the
base/Pro split is being re-decided and git isn't going to be it. The
subscription machinery stays built and tested but dormant; the free-only
postures (inert .git, the Pro pointer, the absent Git tab) are retired.
What the pivot does not change, recorded in 12 and 13: git stays opt-in
per board — creating a local repository is the user's choice, never
auto-initialized — and boards without app-managed git keep conventional
native undo/redo. 06 rescopes to every tier; 03's Git tab reads its
same-day membership ruling through the pivot (the strip still asks the
posture, it just never hears absent).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
With branch creation relocated to the settings sheet, a single-branch
board's switch menu opened onto nothing and read as broken (ruled
2026-08-06, built with the Git tab): a bare Text — AppKit's standard
disabled item, read by VoiceOver as disabled text — now says "No other
branches" where the switch entries would be. The filter behind it becomes
the pure switchTargets(branches:current:) seam, pinned by
BranchSwitchTargetTests: current excluded, nil current passes all through,
repository order preserved.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
The popover's third tab settles (03 ▸ Git tab, 2026-08-07): BoardGitTabView
takes the parked section — the six-posture matrix, the Pro pointer, the
nested/unverifiable prose, the branch controls, the Board Settings… door —
with the tab label doing the old "Git" header's naming work, and one new
caption for the no-repository posture. BoardInfoTab.available drops the Git
tab exactly where BoardGitSection resolves absent, carrying 12's
absent-no-placeholder rule up to the tab strip; selection resets to Info per
open, now a ruling. Daily face only — the remote block still joins with
pro-m2.

iconColor stops being hand-written-only (user-ruled, superseding 03's
"schema yes, control no"): it rides StyleCommand.apply → applyStyle as
the third styled dimension — per-dimension no-op skip, one bracket, one
history step, ExpectedField.iconColor for staleness. The SymbolPicker
grows an opt-in colour row (leading None plus seven Palette.foregrounds
hues, None removes the key); the board popover is its one caller. The
window-title widget now draws the board's resolved glyph in that tint
beside the name. Doc realignment filed on the Redesign board (Minor).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SR4XGjmBE16ZUYWpfFHXwY
A selection change re-ran every CardFaceView on the board (180 bodies ≈ 85 ms on
the 6×30 fixture, 515 ≈ 233 ms on a real 515-card board, debug): the face's body
read store.selection in three places — isSelected, the drag replica's count, and
the context menu's styleTarget — and Observation invalidates every reader of the
property, past the equatable gate entirely. The band overlay stayed cheap, which
is why the marquee tracked the cursor while the highlight lagged ~0.4 s behind.
Now LaneView and TrashLaneView hoist one selection read per body and hand each
face isSelected/selectedCount as compared parameters; StyleMenuItems takes its
target as a deferred closure; TrashLaneRowView gains the same treatment plus the
Equatable gate it never needed before. Select-one-card: 180 bodies → 1. A
growing band costs the selection's own running size; the real board's crossing
fell 233 → 112 ms — the remainder is lane bodies re-measuring their masonry, a
separate lane-level finding recorded in RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md.
Also: select() gains defaultsSoleMember — the marquee's explicit nils never
avoided the sole-member default, so a one-card band acquired a selectionHead and
could scroll the lane out from under its own drag.
MarqueeRenderCostTests pins the shape: redundant samples cost zero bodies, a
growing band pays per crossing, and selectionStillRepaints holds a ≤8 budget.
Model facts off the live snapshot (Lanes, Cards with the trash's freight as a
quiet tail, Attachments — the welcome-count live-only rule) and disk facts off
one background whole-folder walk (File, Files, Size, Created, Modified — .git
and .trash included, so the rows agree with Finder's Get Info), with a Reveal
in Finder link as the door to the folder the rows describe.

The symbol/name header keeps the top; below it a segmented tab bar replaces
the styling embed and the git section, both parked in-file — their seams are

Measured on real events 2026-08-07, correcting the 2026-08-06 hosted
finding: a bare count-1 tap on LaneView's empty-space layer fires in
~1-3 ms with no drag source at all — the hold that made the empty
.onDrag look necessary was the sterile NSApp.postEvent stream
over-disambiguating. And the provider was actively harmful: even an
empty drag source claims the mouse-drag at threshold, starving the
marquee's simultaneous DragGesture after one sample — the band froze
and the mouseUp never arrived. The layer goes dragless; drags from
empty space belong wholly to MarqueeControl. PointerClick's and the
layer's comments retell the corrected story. Alongside: openCard is
typed @MainActor throughout, which makes the closure Sendable and
lets CardFaceRole carry it under CardFaceView's nonisolated ==.

View ▸ Appearance (11-command-nexus.md): three radio-exclusive rows,
app-wide, persisted, needing no window in front — the View menu's new
last group. AppearanceStore owns the override's rules (absent key =
Auto, lenient reads degrade to Auto, remove-at-default) with an
injectable apply seam so test hosts never touch NSApp; the one real
apply hands NSApp.appearance its answer in applicationDidFinishLaunching,
the global side effect KanbanApp.init must not carry. The board toolbar
gains its first .picker item — an NSMenuToolbarItem whose rows re-fetch
their spec fresh, checkmark read at menu-open like every other menu row —
and Appearance joins the search field as the second default item,
centered beside it (03-board-ui.md ▸ Toolbar, ratified 2026-08-07).

strategy/: the release-and-distribution effort, sibling to research/ but
different in kind — research gathers evidence, strategy turns it into
positions and plans. The charter records the goal (bootstrapped
sustainability with base→Pro growth in the personal garden first, Teams a
deliberate second act), the two tier anchors, what is already ruled, the
decision surface decomposed into workstreams, and the tensions to resolve.
The positioning line is the inversion: the garden's walls are around the
experience, not the data — closed polished surface, open documented
substrate, the exact inverse of the mainstream pattern and the moat
captive-state competitors cannot cheaply adopt.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
research/: long-term competitive-landscape research as a living body of
work — the kanban market, the adjacent personal todo/task market, the
file-based/local-first niche, and the AI-agent + task-management
intersection, the two axes the bet actually lives on. The first pass
(2026-08) is deliberately broad: a synthesis overview, the mainstream and
native/indie/file-based segments, the todo-adjacent field, cross-cutting
trends and success factors, the agents-and-tasks frontier, and a schema
comparison against Signboard. The overview carries the narrow-pass agenda.

DRAG-PERF-ANALYSIS.md: a full read of the drag/drop pipeline against
DRAG-REORDER.md's model and RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md's measurements,
prioritized and sequenced, nothing implemented yet. The headline: the
per-sample arithmetic is microseconds on any realistic board, and the felt
latency lives almost entirely in the release — a 200ms watcher debounce
plus a whole-strip render pass, with one honesty bug able to stretch a
failed drop into a 1.5-second freeze. P1 is a surgical FolderWatcher
expedite for the echo the bracket already owes (~180ms off every drop),
with the races analyzed benign.

The swatch's padding goes asymmetric and user-tuned — a wider berth at the
sides than above and below, out of the swatch rather than the control's
size — so the colour reads as a bar in the field instead of wall-to-wall.
The field's fill moves to controlColor, the push-button neutral grey, whose
ring stayed legible where controlBackgroundColor's near-black dark-mode
reading drowned it; and the trigger square keeps its own two-point inset,
decoupled from the swatch's padding so the indicator stays a legible
square through any padding tweak the swatch takes.

The whole-lane wash-and-solid-ring scaled its emphasis with the lane's
area: what read as a ring on a card read as a slab on a column. Resettled
as the system focus ring's vocabulary at selection strength — a hairline
accent edge with a soft accent glow bleeding outward, riding the stroke
shape rather than the translucent plate (a shadow behind it would bleed
through as murk), and no wash at all: nothing tints the cards' backdrop,
and lane colour stays the accent band's alone. Under Increase Contrast the
halo yields to the solid full-alpha ring — "strengthens borders" means
crisper, and a blur is the one thing a border cannot become — so the
setting sees exactly the indicator it always has; cards and trash rows are
card-scale and keep the solid ring at every contrast. One selection
vocabulary, pinned by Accommodations.drawsSelectionHalo and its test.

"At drag start it replaces the item's original space" is now true from the
very first frame: begin takes the run's own resting slot as a seed, set in
the same transaction that lifts the run out. Without it the vacated gap
closed un-animated and sprang back open at the first dropUpdated — a
shuffle carrying no information. The seed bypasses propose deliberately (a
pickup is not a new landing spot, so no alignment tick), and the first real
sample's re-propose of the same slot is the early-out's ordinary silence. A
⌥-pickup seeds nothing — a copy's resting layout keeps the originals in
place, so there is no vacated space to hold. Card pickups compute the seed
through the same LaneView.rendered rules the retargets count in; lane
pickups seed their strip slot the same way. DRAG-REORDER.md's own-slot
paragraph records the rule, and SeededPickupTests pins all four corners.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014PtZdPwqZuqEDLc6wZMtEy
The measured defect: LaneView's empty-space double-click was a second
sequential .onTapGesture(count: 2) stacked over the single tap, and that
recogniser held every click in the lane — its own empty space and every
card face alike — hostage to the system double-click interval while it
disambiguated (~475 ms click-to-selection on a hosted board). The fix is
structural: the empty-space surfaces live on a background layer behind the
masonry, so a card's click never shares a gesture path with a lane
recogniser; one .onTapGesture branches on PointerClick.count (AppKit's own
clickCount, read the way ClickModifier reads the keyboard) — first click
selects, second creates, Finder's cadence with nothing to disambiguate; and
the layer carries a load-bearing empty .onDrag, because without a drag
source macOS holds primary clicks pending multi-click disambiguation
(measured: never fires alone, ~90 ms with one present). A measured viewport
floor makes each lane's blank space actually belong to the layer — a
ScrollView proposes nothing along its scroll axis, so only an explicit
minimum stretches the content — with the trash column as its twin, less the
padding that sits inside its scroll content. The template chooser's stacked
pair collapses to the same one-recogniser branch, and the attachment rows
move their double-click to a simultaneous gesture (instant there, because
the row's real .onDrag forces immediate delivery). PointerLatencyTests pins
the recovery with synthetic pointer events on a hosted board.

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.

always got (10 amended to say so; no warning surface is owed). Anchor
ownership: the card sidebar's background story is the combo alone — the well
grid's background half stays with the other anchors (StyleEditorView gains
showsBackground beside showsSymbols; the popover's symbol half already went to
its inline SymbolPicker). Quick-style recents stay palette-vocabulary — a
panel pick never enters them.

SymbolPicker: one well at rest, a 6x6 curated grid in a popover (leading
well = the level default, clearing the key), and an optional search over
the OS's full symbol inventory read from CoreGlyphs metadata. Geometry
font-derived off StyleEditorLayout's base, grid enlarged by a deliberate
1.3x. Wired inline with the rename field in the board info popover
through the StyleCommand funnel; the Title header retires. Curated set
and the search's standing vs 03's full-browser refusal await ratification.
Minor ruled into 04 ▸ Cross-board copy: the Finder volume model — a
mid-drag rename of the source board carries the live drag with it (the
drag holds its source store's identity, never a frozen key, which would
let a board opened at the vacated path compare equal — the worse,
destructive failure). Until the carry ships the residue is recorded:
key follows folder, a mid-drag rename finishes a reorder as a copy —
cosmetic, seconds-bounded. Implementation filed.
