Raw image data on a card window's ⌘V was a keyboard shortcut with no visible
trigger; the sidebar's Attachments header now grows a quiet control — beside
the existing add affordance, present only while the pasteboard holds a
picture this card could take — that pastes it through the exact seam the
retired branch used (ClipboardStore.pasteImage(intoCard:in:), the board's
"Paste Image into Card" row's own call). The file-URL branch stays on ⌘V; a
Finder copy is still unambiguous. CardBodyTextView's paste-yield mechanism
needed no change at all — it forwards by capability, not by picture-specific
logic, so a screenshot ⌘V with the body editor focused is now a genuine
no-op there, served by the new control instead.
The pasteboard's re-read gains a fourth checkpoint — a window becoming key —
alongside menu-tracking, ⌘-down and app activation: a persistent visible
control has to read true continuously while its window is frontmost, not
only at the instant a menu or chord probes it.

Follow-up to d0c5461's .backgrounds/ folder: generating, pasting, or
choosing solid now trims the app's own prior file in .backgrounds/ as
part of the same write when it repoints or unsets background.image
away from it — silent, best-effort, never blocking the gesture that
triggered it. A scheduled heal at every board open sweeps whatever
that trim declined or missed: any .backgrounds/ file the board's
current background.image no longer names, announced with a loss-row
notice in the loose-file relocation's own voice. Legacy root-level
references are untouched by both paths — the tidy scopes to
.backgrounds/ only, since that is the one folder the app can prove it
wrote into.
Removal is via FileManager.trashItem, matching the attachment-removal
precedent (recoverable, never a hard delete).
Supersedes applySolidBackground's earlier "facets.png survives on
disk" contract for the settled case: the ruling reads "unsets" as one
more shape of "repoints away from a .backgrounds/ file", so a settled
solid choice now trims the generated picture it displaces, same as
switching producers does. The superseded test and doc comment are
updated to the new behavior; the echo-window (no-reload-yet) case is
unaffected and still leaves the file in place.

The image branch's precedence ladder always had a second clause: a file URL on the
pasteboard suppresses it, "a different gesture with a different answer" that the
code deliberately declined rather than guessed at. This fills it in: one or more
file URLs paste through the same `importAttachments` a Finder drop takes — one
collision ladder, one folder refusal (`FinderDrop.partition`), one set of banners
— outranking raw image data riding beside it (a Finder-copied image file carries
both; the actual file lands, not a re-encoded copy of its bytes) while still
deferring to the app's own clipboard type. Both ⌘V surfaces read the same
`ClipboardStore.fileURLPayload`, so the board's fallback and the card window's own
branch stay in step by construction rather than by two hand-kept-in-sync checks.
Fixed a real leak in the body editor's paste yield along the way: `public.file-url`
conforms to `public.url`, which `NSTextView` legitimately reads for a pasted
hyperlink, and `NSPasteboard.availableType(from:)` matches by conformance rather
than exact type — so a Finder copy carrying a generic URL representation beside
its file URL would have been silently swallowed as text and never reached the
window's attachment branch at all. The yield now declines outright on any
file-URL pasteboard before the generic capability check runs.

New app-written background images (Theme tab ▸ Pattern, and Edit ▸ Paste
as Board Background) now land in a hidden `.backgrounds/` folder at
board root instead of beside index.md, matching the `.trash/` app-managed
pattern. `background.image` stores the qualified relative reference
(`.backgrounds/facets.png`); the resolver needed no change at all, since
it already accepted any relative path inside the board root — the same
mechanism that already resolved `art/backdrops/sunset.png` resolves the
new location for free. `BoardWriter.writeBoardImage` now creates its
destination folder if missing, since `.backgrounds/` won't exist until a
board's first generated or pasted background.
The Finder collision-ladder (`BoardStore.boardImageName`) is rescoped to
`.backgrounds/`'s own contents, and its overwrite-in-place check now
recognizes only the qualified form as "ours" — a legacy bare
`background.image: facets.png` from before this change is read as a
foreign reference rather than migrated, so a regeneration writes a fresh
`.backgrounds/` file and orphans the old one in place, per the no-migration
ruling. The Theme tab's Pattern/Solid mode-detection was updated to
recognize both the legacy and current spellings as the generator's own
output.
The board loader needed no change: `.backgrounds/` is a hidden,
non-UUID-shaped name, and `.skipsHiddenFiles` already keeps every hidden
entry off the lane walk before any name-based exclusion is consulted —
pinned with a new loader test. Deliberately did not add `.backgrounds` to
IntegrityRules' claimed-name/squatter-displacement table: that table
mirrors a specific existing DESIGN ruling this card doesn't amend.

The editor holds the keyboard from the moment the card window opens, and
NSTextView answers an image-only pasteboard with a disabled Paste row —
so the window's image branch sat one responder below the keyboard and
could never be reached by it. The yield is by capability
(readablePasteboardTypes), the same shape as the editor's existing
refusal of file drops: any text flavor keeps the paste in the editor,
and a pasteboard the editor has no reading of passes paste: to the
responder behind it. Live-probed with real window-server ⌘V chords in
both windows.

⌘V grows an image-data branch, below the app's own clipboard format and refused
outright while a file URL is on the pasteboard: a screenshot or a browser's Copy
Image lands as "Pasted Image.png" in the anchor card's attachments/, through the
very import path Finder file drops and ⇧⌘A take — one bracket, one Finder-style
collision ladder, one set of banners, and the same silence a drop's arrival has.
A card window's ⌘V pastes onto its own card; a focused text field still wins the
selector natively. A file-shaped flavor travels byte for byte, PNG preferred when
several are offered; TIFF and BMP are re-encoded to PNG, being interchange
encodings rather than files anyone wants in a folder.
The hero key gets the setter it was born owing: "Set as Hero" on any image row of
the attachment list, "Remove Hero" on the row that holds it, with menu-bar twins
so the context entry is nobody's only home. It writes as a restyle — one key, one
bracket, one invertible step on the window's own stack — and replaces rather than
refusing, because a card has one hero and the row that has it says Remove instead.
Edit ▸ Paste as Board Background is the same payload's other destination, taking
the existing background.image convention at its word: the picture into the board
folder as "Pasted Background.png", the colour subkey untouched, the generator's
overwrite-our-own-name rule inherited and its echo memo taught to tell the two
producers apart.
