Four rulings close Redesign Contradiction 3452893f (2026-08-06): the in-app
escape hatch is ratified in full, reversing 2026-07-29's palette-only rule —
the combo's Other… opens the system Colors panel, a pick landing on a palette
color stores the name, anything else the hex. Free-picked colors change no
contrast story: they land on the same runtime ink computation hand-written hex
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.

Phase B of the two-level undo card: every card-window gesture — comment
post/delete/edit, body Edit sessions, style and details changes —
registers fine-grained on the window's own stack (window.undoManager
answers with it; board ⌘Z never sees mid-session card steps; an empty
window stack beeps, never falls through). Window close folds the stack
into one coarse values-based board step ("Edit card 'X'") — per-target
per-field later-wins merge, so foreign mid-session writes stay out by
construction, a no-net-change session registers nothing, and any stale
component skips the whole step. The comments/.trash purge defers with
the coarse step via a step-retirement seam on the providers: it runs
when the step leaves the board stack or the board session ends; the git
provider retires dropped steps on register, which keeps Pro's
purge-at-close-flush structural with no tier check. Interim on git
boards: gestures still auto-commit per debounce until phase C's
close-flush commit.
2432 tests in 418 suites green.

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.
1549 unit tests green, both schemes build.

The sidebar completes: the shared style editor gains a second anchor —
StyleEditorLayout carries the geometry (the popover keeps its settled
268/14/7/8 untouched as the default; the sidebar packs columns to its
width with no inner scroller) while every well, the batch display, the
arrow grammar, and the one applyStyle bracket stay the shared
component's. The card anchor is fixed, not tracking: the target is
this card, and the fate walk retires the window when the card goes.
Details renders every unknown frontmatter key read-only in file order —
Card.document already carried them — showing the author's own bytes
where the raw span is a value and the engine's rendering for block
scalars and empties; reserved enhanced-schema keys are ordinary
unknowns, and no keys means no section. Actions: Delete rides the same
tombstone bytes as Backspace and drop-on-trash through a one-line
seam, says nothing about selection, and lets the fate walk dismiss;
Reveal in Finder resolves through the attachment scope so the two
paths cannot disagree. History reserves its m7 slot without drawing a
header no base board can honor.

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.
