rzen b6f559375b Build the template engine — board-as-template instantiation
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.

import Foundation
/// The **board-scale tree copy**: a per-item file walk that checks cancellation between items,
/// shared by File ▸ Duplicate (`BoardDuplicator`) and template instantiation (`TemplateEngine`).
///
/// ### Why the walk is a walk
///
/// 03-board-ui.md settles the shape for Duplicate and the reason generalizes to every copy of a
/// whole board: "the copy runs as a per-item file walk that checks cancellation between items —
/// **never one monolithic `copyItem`** — and Cancel removes the partial sibling before dismissing
/// the banner (the attachment partial-cleanup precedent)". A monolithic `copyItem` is uncancellable
/// and indivisible; a walk is both, and it is also the only shape that can *exclude* something
/// (09-templates.md's `.git` and `.trash/`).
///
/// So the walk is the promise: one `FileManager.copyItem` per file — bytes and their metadata
/// copied by the file system, never re-encoded, **symlinks copied as symlinks** (01-storage-format.md
/// § Fractal layout ▸ Rules: "Copy flows copy the link itself, never its target: Duplicate, Save as
/// Template, instantiation, cross-board copies … preserve the link verbatim") — folders recreated by
/// hand, and a cancellation read **between** items, never mid-file (a copy interrupted inside a
/// 200 MB pack file leaves rubble that is harder to reason about than one more file's wait). The
/// entries of every folder are walked in name order, so the same cancellation removes the same
/// partial tree every time and a failure names the same file twice running.
///
/// The accepted cost of building folders by hand rather than handing the tree to one `copyItem`:
/// **extended attributes on folders do not carry** (files keep theirs — each is still copied by
/// `copyItem`). Nothing the app, the storage format, or git keeps lives in a folder xattr.
///
/// ### What it does not do
///
/// It never creates the destination root, never removes a partial, and never classifies a failure.
/// Those are the caller's, because they are exactly where the two flows differ: Duplicate answers a
/// permission failure with a save panel, instantiation with a banner, and each owns its own cleanup
/// promise. This type only knows how to move a tree, one item at a time, and where to stop.
///
/// ### Not `@MainActor`
///
/// Copying a board with a year of `.git` behind it is real I/O and runs off the main actor so an
/// in-progress banner can actually spin (02-architecture.md § The banner surface). Safe by
/// construction: it touches only the two URLs it is handed, and a board's security-scoped access is
/// a process-wide grant, not a per-thread one.
enum BoardTreeCopy {
/// Why a walk stopped and on which item — the recursion's currency, which each caller converts
/// into its own failure vocabulary the moment it surfaces.
enum Stop: Error {
case cancelled
case failed(url: URL, error: any Error)
}
/// Copies everything inside `source` into the already-created `destination`, one item at a time.
///
/// Name order, hidden entries included (no `.skipsHiddenFiles`): `.DS_Store`, `.gitignore`,
/// `CLAUDE.user.md` and every other dotfile or stray is part of the copy — "the copy is literal
/// apart from the stated exclusions" (09-templates.md ▸ Save as Template) — and a deterministic
/// order is what makes a cancellation reproducible.
///
/// `excludedTopLevelNames` is compared **lowercased against the top level only**, which is the
/// exclusions' actual scope rather than a shortcut: `.git` and `.trash/` mean something at a
/// board root and nowhere else (06-history-undo.md's nearest-`.git`-wins detection starts at the
/// board root; `BoardLoader.trashCandidates` looks in exactly one place), so a `.git` a template
/// author left inside a card folder is an ordinary stray and copies verbatim like any other.
///
/// `carriesFolderAttributes` decides whether a recreated folder gets the source folder's POSIX
/// permissions and timestamps back once its contents have landed. Duplicate says yes — it is a
/// fork, down to the mode bits. Instantiation says no: a template folder is content the app
/// ships or the user dropped, and carrying a read-only mode (or a two-year-old date) out of it
/// would mint a board that is read-only, or born older than itself, from a copy whose whole
/// premise is "born today" (09-templates.md ▸ Instantiation).
///
/// Each entry's type comes from `attributesOfItem`, which does **not** traverse symlinks — so a
/// link is copied as a link (by `copyItem`, which does not follow it either) rather than being
/// mistaken for the folder it points at and walked into.
