Right-clicking a card now offers Labels: up to twelve rows ranked by how many cards on the
board carry each one, tie-broken by what this user reached for last, each a checkmark that
says whether *this* card already has it. More… opens the whole inventory beside the card, in
lookup order, with a field that mints a name the board has never used.
The rows deliberately do not widen to the selection the way Copy, Cut and Send to Trash do. A
checkmark is a claim about one card, and three cards where two carry `bug` have no honest
checked state — the rows that widen are the ones that say what they will do rather than what
is already true. It is also what keeps the menu cheap: a context menu's contents are rebuilt
on every ordinary pass of every card face, so reading the selection there would resubscribe
the whole board. The board-sized half of the ranking is cached on the store and gated on
equality; what runs per face is bounded by how many distinct labels exist, not by how many
cards do.
Copy Link leaves the first group for a new Copy Special submenu, mirroring Paste Special —
the placement the owner's latest layout asks for, and the one the row's own note has been
waiting on since it shipped as a same-day deviation. It keeps its VoiceOver action even so: it
is an action that changed doors, not a door.

`labels` has been a reserved tracker key since the rewrite: preserved verbatim, never
interpreted, drawn only as an anonymous row in the Details section beside `assignees` and
`due`. The owner's cards claim it for first-party use, so it joins the schema — read
leniently (a list of names, a bare scalar coercing to one, a mapping malformed and
preserved), written canonically (a quoted flow list in the order the user arranged, no
auto-sort), and removed outright when the last label goes, the way an expanded lane drops
`collapsed`.
Identity is case-insensitive and display is case-preserving, so a card carries `bug` once
however many ways the board spells it, and entries the reading cannot name ride through the
write untouched at the tail.
The section sits second, above Details — which is the point rather than a layout preference:
Details is where keys the app does *not* own are shown, and this key just stopped being one.
Rows rather than chips, because the sidebar is twenty-six characters wide. The add field
autocompletes against the board's own used-labels universe, derived from every live and
trashed card with no store beside the files, and says out loud when Return would mint a word
the board has never used.
Writes ride a `.relabel` operation of their own, because the commit composer has said
"Relabel card 'X'" since long before there was a control to press — and now the undo row says
it too.
