rzen d5ad21c3da The board wears a picture — background becomes a mapping, and the window chrome follows it under a thin frost
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.

/// **The write side of `background`** — the read side is `FrontmatterDocument.background` and
/// `.backgroundImage` (FrontmatterFields.swift).
///
/// `background` is a mapping and only a mapping (01-storage-format.md § Frontmatter, ruled
/// 2026-08-06), so the app writes one: `{color: "#112233", image: sunset.jpg}`. That one key holds
/// two independent values and the app has a control for exactly one of them — the colour grid
/// (03-board-ui.md § Styling ▸ Controls). There is no image picker and none is planned; the path is
/// hand-written, "the raw file is the escape hatch" applied one field over. So a style write edits
/// the **subkey, not the key**: choosing a well on a board that carries an image leaves the image
/// where it is, and the None well removes the colour alone.
///
/// A key that is *not* a mapping — a retired scalar somebody hand-wrote, a sequence — has no
/// subkeys to preserve and is simply replaced by the mapping the app writes. That is the
/// malformed-value-cleared posture `icon` already has ("choosing any well replaces it",
/// § Styling ▸ Controls), which is exactly right here: the reader could not make a colour of it
/// either.
///
/// ### Preservation is per subkey, not per byte
///
/// The document's surgical editor rewrites a key's whole value lines, and `FrontmatterValue` has no
/// mapping case to rewrite them with — the engine emits scalars and has never round-tripped a
/// collection. So the merged value is re-emitted as a flow mapping through the `.raw` escape, built
/// from the *parsed* subvalues: every other subkey survives as a value and in its original position,
/// while its spelling does not — a block mapping collapses to flow form, quoting is normalized, and
/// a subvalue's own inline comment is lost with the lines it sat on.
///
/// That is the narrowest place in the app where 01-storage-format.md's verbatim promise yields, and
/// it yields only on the one key the write was already rewriting: a board with no `background` key,
/// or one written as a plain scalar, takes exactly the path it always took. The alternative — a
/// mapping-aware span editor — is a great deal of machinery for a field with two subkeys, one of
/// which the app writes.
extension FrontmatterDocument {
/// Writes a lenient string style field — `title`, `background`, `icon` — or removes the key
/// when `value` is `nil`, which is what "before" means for a field that was not there and what
/// the None well leaves behind.
///
/// `title` and `icon` are a plain scalar `set`/`remove`, unchanged and unchangeable: their
/// values *are* strings.
///
/// **`background` is always written as a mapping**, whatever it held before. One already written
/// as one keeps it, with the `color` subkey replaced in place, appended when it was absent, or
/// dropped — every other subkey carried through either way. Anything else starts from no subkeys
/// at all, so a colour lands as `{color: "…"}` and a removal simply takes the key. A mapping the
/// removal empties takes the key with it too, because `background: {}` is a key that says nothing
/// and the removal's contract is that the field is gone.
///
/// Deliberately keyed on `background` rather than on "whatever is mapping-shaped": `icon` has no
/// subkey vocabulary at all, so a hand-written `icon: {a: 1}` — a malformed value the forward
/// write exists to clear — must be *replaced* by the chosen symbol, never merged into.
