Step 7 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the companions. The agent guide bumps to v11: the Git section teaches repo-resident etiquette alone (stage only your own paths, commit your own changes, leave app-maintained files to the app) — existing boards heal to the new text on next open. README re-anchors: the four git feature bullets out, tiers say the complete Mac experience is free, and one bullet states the format's git-friendliness promise. The changelog drops the never-shipped git entries. DESIGN re-rules: 06 retired with Undo routing migrated to 13 (now the sole substrate's doc, seam kept open), 07 retired as written pending the ops-service workstream, 14 retired as superseded record, 12 carries the second pivot note, the index reflects all of it; the charter gets a pointer note (the anchors' full re-ruling stays with the user). InertGitTests renames to GitAgnosticStorageTests — the excision restores its original claim app-wide. And the sweep: ~70 comment sites across 36 files adjudicated against the keeper list, every present-tense description of the excised machinery made past tense or repointed, keepers untouched. 2,707 tests green.

The board's symbol now appears in the title bar beside the board's name, in its chosen tint.
|
|
|
|
The board's symbol can now wear a color: the symbol picker carries a row of tints below the glyphs, with None to clear it.
|
|
|
|
The board popover's new Theme tab dresses the board in a solid color or a generated pattern: filter by light or dark, colors and saturation, then pick from eight hues.
|
|
|
|
The board popover is now organized into tabs — Info with the board's vital statistics, and Theme for backgrounds.
|
|
|
|
The rubber band now highlights cards the moment it touches them, instead of lagging behind on large boards.
|
|
|
|
The app's appearance can now be set to Light, Dark, or Auto from the View menu or the toolbar's new Appearance item.
|
|
|
|
A board can now wear a background image, painted across the whole window with a frosted strip keeping the title bar legible.
|
|
|
|
The background field is now written as a mapping — *{color: green}* instead of a bare *green* — and a board's may name an image beside the color.
|
|
|
|
Clicking a card or lane now selects it immediately, instead of pausing for about half a second.

Version 2.0: Lanework's first release — a kanban app whose boards are ordinary folders of Markdown files on your Mac.
|
|
|
|
Edit a board from any other app, script, or AI agent and the open window updates live; outside edits are first-class, never overwritten.
|
|
|
|
Cards open in their own window with a formatted preview, a Markdown editor with checkable task lists, and a raw-source view.
|
|
|
|
Attach files to a card by dropping them onto its face or into its card window.
|
|
|
|
Drag cards and lanes to rearrange them, move or copy them between boards, or drop files from Finder to create new cards.
|
|
|
|
Cut, copy, and paste cards and lanes — within a board, across boards, or as plain text into other apps.
|
|
|
|
Deleted cards land in a trash lane you can show beside your lanes; drag a card out (or cut and paste it) to restore it.
|
|
|
|
Undo and redo cover every board action, including bringing back a deleted lane with all its cards.
|
|
|
|
A card window keeps its own undo trail while open; closing it folds everything you did there into one board-level undo step.
|
|
|
|
Start new boards from ten bundled templates, or save any board as a template of your own.
|
|
|
|
Search filters the board as you type, and new cards you create clear the filter so they never vanish under it.
|
|
|
|
Style cards and lanes from a twelve-color palette, tint lanes with a band, and give each board its own background.
|
|
|
|
The whole app works from the keyboard — arrow-key navigation, drag-free card moves, and Full Keyboard Access on every control.
|
|
|
|
VoiceOver reads boards as lanes of cards, announces outside changes in one polite digest, and names a focused card that was deleted externally.
|
|
|
|
Every board gets a guide file teaching AI agents the folder format, kept up to date automatically.
|
|
|
|
A hand-made card file no longer needs an order or schema line — the card simply lands at the end of its lane until you place it.
|
|
|
|
Every board carries a .gitignore naming which files count as noise, so system files like .DS_Store stay put instead of being gathered into a card's attachments.
|
|
|
|
Boards open into their own window right away, with a quiet spinner while a large one is read, and ⌘W cancels an open in progress.
|
|
|
|
A board that won't open now explains itself in that window, listing every problem file by file and grouped by what's wrong.
|
|
|
|
Each listed file offers Reveal in Finder and Open in Editor, so you can fix it yourself and press Re-check.
|
|
|
|
Repair and Open makes the fixes that are safe to make — a folder missing its board file, a board missing its format line — and opens the board.
|
|
|
|
You can skip a file Lanework can't fix and open the board without it; the board then names what was left out, and asks again next time.
|
|
|
|
Every card can carry a comment thread, shown beside or below the card's text in its window.
|
|
|
|
The comment composer keeps its draft inside the board itself, so a half-written comment is waiting whenever and wherever you reopen the card.
|
|
|
|
Comments render Markdown like the card body, take file drops of their own, and note when they've been edited.
|
|
|
|
Board search now matches comment text, and ⌘F in a card window steps through matches across the whole thread.
|
|
|
|
Deleting a comment takes effect immediately, stays undoable in the card's window, and board-level undo can still bring it back after the window closes.
|
|
|
|
Zoom the board in and out from the View menu (⌘+ and ⌘−, ⌘0 for actual size), and the size you settle on is remembered across launches.
