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.

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.

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.

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.
