Phase 2 of the one-app pivot (DESIGN 12 ▸ App-side state, re-ruled
2026-07-30; reworks 566deab). AppGroup retires; what remains is
AppStateHome — ordinary sandbox Application Support as the one home for
the registry, clipboard staging and template stores, keeping the
unit-test-host redirect (the test host is the app and would sweep real
state). Scalar defaults return to UserDefaults.standard.
BoardRecord's per-edition grant slots and openNow flags collapse to one
bookmark + one isOpenNow; the legacy-key decode and adopt-in-memory
paths go (nothing shipped with group-era records), while the founding
four-keys-required / defaults-for-everything-since decode policy stays —
a bookmarkless record decodes as the born-orphan row rather than
quarantining the list. needsReopen and the pre-anchored re-grant panel
are removed whole: the only state that flow served — a record granted by
a sibling sandbox — is unrepresentable now, and a dead bookmark of our
own was already the orphan case by explicit comment. The
indexOfRecord path fallback dies with it; path is never a key again.
The cross-process freshness stamp (mtime+size re-read) and
BoardEditionPresence with its popover "Also open in…" line retire; the
clipboard prune keeps its atomic .sweeping/ claim-then-delete, reframed
for crash residue and open -n copies rather than sibling editions. The
application-groups entitlement key is gone.
1880 tests in 317 suites green (13 cross-edition tests retired with
their subject).

Every edition declares group.dev.rzen.indie.Kanban and homes its
app-side state there from day one (12-editions.md ruling 2026-07-29):
- AppGroup namespace: container resolution with per-edition fallback
when unprovisioned, shared UserDefaults suite, edition identity, and
a unit-test-host redirect (the test host IS the app — its launch
sweep and recents refresh must not touch the real shared container).
- BoardRecord: bookmark/isOpenNow replaced by per-edition grants and
openNow keyed by bundle id; hand-written Codable keeps legacy keys
decoding (adopted in memory as the running edition's slots, upgraded
on first save); every other field stays common.
- RecentBoard gains needsReopen: no grant of ours but somebody's —
first click runs an open panel pre-anchored at the recorded path,
prompt "Grant"; recordOpen mints this edition's slot onto the
matched shared record (path fallback only after identity fails and
only against records holding no grant of ours, so re-granting never
forks the record).
- Cross-edition freshness: stat-cheap mtime+size stamp re-reads the
registry when the sibling edition wrote it, so one edition's save
never erases the other's records wholesale.
- restorables() filters on this edition's open-now flags; the board
popover gains BoardEditionPresence ("Also open in Lanework Pro"),
pid-liveness-checked so crash residue never lies.
- Clipboard staging store moves to the group container; the sweep
claims doomed trees by atomic rename into .sweeping/ then deletes,
so the sibling's concurrent sweep is a non-event.
- Template store re-homed to the group container per the 09-templates
re-ruling; scalars (quick-style recents, window size) move to the
shared suite.
- verify-editions.sh: 30 checks (each edition carries exactly the
family group). No pathfinder 1.x migrator: 1.x predates the
registry; state starts fresh in the group container.

The chooser completes its three tiers: bundled by template order, then
keyed user templates, then keyless boards by display name — and a
malformed user template still lists, by folder name with the loader's
own sentence on the row, never failing its neighbours. The store is
re-scanned on every presentation and on app activation, the Reveal
round trip made honest without watching a folder 09 deliberately
leaves unwatched; Reveal lives in the chooser's header and mints the
store on first press. Save as Template repeats Duplicate's sequence —
progress row with Cancel, flush, detached cancellable copy — through
the engine: mint the store, read the next user order before the copy
can count itself, Finder-ladder the name, copy excluding .git and
.trash/, then stamp the whole template: mapping on the landed copy
through updateIndex, with no bracket because the copy lives outside
every watched board. Folder attributes deliberately don't carry — the
one lock the command stays live under is the read-only-DMG one, and
carrying its mode bits would mint a read-only template in the user's
own store; the command gates instead on the real hazard, unsaved card
content. A signpost names the template only when the ladder renamed
it. One name ladder now serves Duplicate and the store.

The pathfinder's catalog transcribed verbatim as real board folders —
lane titles, icons, palette colors, board icons, and blurbs read
straight from its BoardTemplate.all, every color already in the
palette, no invented fields, no starter cards it never had. Basic had
drifted from the source in the engine card's version: it carried
icon/iconColor keys the pathfinder's key-less Basic never wrote
(visually identical via the fallback, byte-level wrong) and a
rewritten blurb — both restored. Orders run 100 to 1000 in inventory
order, Basic first; fresh lane UUIDs, gapped ranks, one consistent
timestamp; the discovery test now pins all ten slugs, lane counts,
Basic's primacy, and distinct ascending orders through the real
loader.

A template is a board folder the ordinary loader reads — no second
schema, no Swift catalog. BoardTemplate became exactly that: a loaded
BoardModel with chooser-facing derivations, the lane-title stub gone.
TemplateEngine instantiates by the copy-remint-restamp walk: .git and
.trash excluded at top level only — both names mean something at a
board root and nowhere else, and .gitignore must survive — every
materialized folder reminted, created/modified stamped fresh (born
today, not forked), modified-by cleared, the template: key carried
inert, the blurb and style inherited, and loose card files normalized
at this import boundary per the paste precedent so a new board never
opens with a notice about a mess its own birth made. Legacy deleted:
keys copy through verbatim to the one migrator — stripping would
resurrect, skipping would destroy. Atomicity is construct-then-clean:
a sibling temp can be sandbox-refused and a cross-volume rename is
just a second copy, so the call removes what it created on every
non-board exit and never touches an occupied destination. The
cancellable per-item walk extracted into BoardTreeCopy serves
Duplicate and instantiation with two parameters — top-level exclusions
and folder-attribute carriage, the only axes they differ on.

The welcome window becomes the real thing: Xcode-style, hidden title
bar with background drag, branding and actions left, recents right —
rows carrying the board symbol, name, location, and the registry's
cached lane/card counts (stamped at close, never a scan at welcome
time), sorted by last opened. Launch failures surface row-level per
02: a failure joins its recents row as a warning caption, an
unresolvable bookmark renders unavailable with Forget its one
affordance, and only a failure with no row to carry it falls back to
a compact list; a board opening again heals its row. New Board
(Opt-Cmd-N) opens the Pages-style template chooser — shipped with
the single Basic template and the m9 seams marked — flowing through
the save panel into createBoard/createLane and straight into a board
window. Open Recent gains its submenu with Clear Menu (byte-identical
to forgetting every row, pinned by test), and File > Duplicate forks
the frontmost board to a Finder-style copy sibling: pending work
flushes first through the close flush's step two alone (sessions stay
open — 09's stated exception), every GUID and tombstone carries (the
whole-board carve-out from copies-remint), and the copy opens in its
own window while the original stays put. 36 new tests.
