rzen 328cfb629f Write the write-path fidelity test suite
The executable spec for BoardWriter's cross-cutting guarantees, in a
dedicated WriteFidelityTests.swift: minimal-touch verified down to
sibling mtimes across a seven-operation session; renumber pinned as
the sole exception (whole lane rewritten, board root / other lanes /
tombstones untouched); delete→restore byte-precise (only the modified
line differs, zero tombstone residue); unknown-key order preserved
with keys interleaved among schema-owned ones; and a composite
building a board purely through the writer, hand-editing a file like
an agent would, then moving/copying/deleting/renumbering to a
zero-warning reload. Guarantees already pinned by the per-operation
suites (atomicity, move/copy identity, body round-trip) are
referenced, not duplicated. Shared fixtures promoted to
WriterTestSupport.swift. README gains the write-side feature bullet.

5 new tests; 250 total green. Closes milestone m2-storage-write.

# Lanework
A native macOS kanban app whose boards are plain folders and Markdown files. Every board, lane, and card is a folder with an `index.md` (YAML frontmatter + Markdown body); the filesystem is the source of truth and the app is a live view over it.
The defining consequence: anything that can read and write files is a first-class user of a board — text editors, Finder, shell scripts, git, and above all AI agents. Lanework's job is to be the best *human* surface over that substrate.
## Key features
Lanework is in early development. This list tracks what has actually shipped and grows milestone by milestone; the full design lives in [DESIGN/](DESIGN/).
*No UI yet — the storage foundation is in place:*
- **Storage contract, read side** — frontmatter engine with a byte-perfect round-trip guarantee (unknown keys, comments, and formatting survive every rewrite; duplicate keys read last-wins; wrong-type scalars coerce read-side), gapped fractional ordering (Ranks), and a fail-fast board loader with UUID-gated level detection, warning-collecting skips, and tombstone-aware snapshots — pinned by a golden fixture suite of 18 on-disk boards.
- **Storage contract, write side** — BoardWriter turns every mutation into an atomic temp-file+rename over exactly the files it touches: creates mint lowercase-UUIDv4 identities and `.kanban` packages; moves keep the UUID (with per-folder collision repair at the cross-board import boundary); copies mint fresh identities at every level; deletes are in-place tombstones with position-perfect restore and physical purge; attachment imports never overwrite and never refuse (Finder-style renames). Every app write stamps `modified`, clears `modified-by`, and preserves everything it didn't change byte-for-byte; readable-but-uneditable frontmatter shapes refuse loudly instead of corrupting.
## Development
The Xcode project is generated — `project.yml` is the source of truth, not the `.xcodeproj`:
```sh
xcodegen generate
xcodebuild build -project Kanban.xcodeproj -scheme Kanban -destination 'platform=macOS'
xcodebuild test -project Kanban.xcodeproj -scheme Kanban -destination 'platform=macOS,arch=arm64'
```
macOS 26+, Swift 6 (strict concurrency), SwiftUI, sandboxed. Internal codename `Kanban` (target, scheme, bundle id `dev.rzen.indie.Kanban`); the app ships under the display name **Lanework**.
