Card 737a949f: "Add an option to card context menu to copy a link to the card folder." Implements the design ruling verbatim. - New context-menu row "Copy Link" (CardFaceView.boardMenu, board side only — trash cards are excluded, matching "sole selected live card"). Writes the clicked card's folder in one pasteboard item carrying two representations: the file:// URL under .fileURL and the plain absolute path under .string (FolderLinkPasteboard.swift). Enabled on a sole selected live card; disabled on a multi-selection and wherever edit-shaped actions already disable, per the ruling. Also exposed as a VoiceOver custom action alongside its siblings. - Menu-bar twin: Board ▸ Copy Link (BoardCommands.swift, CopyLinkCommand), no default chord — the every-function-a-menu-item contract in DESIGN/11-command-nexus.md is still current, so this is the twin that contract calls for, homed the way Open Card/Rename/ Style… already are. - DESIGN/11-command-nexus.md: new Board-menu row and an updated Card context-menu row. - Tests (KanbanTests/CopyLinkTests.swift): the target predicate's enablement (sole card / multi-selection / lane / trash / empty / inline-editing), the pasteboard write's exact bytes via a fake pasteboard (both representations, exact folder URL), and a disabled-target no-op. Caught and fixed during self-review: an early version read the context menu's widened-selection helper (targetIDs) inside the Copy Link row's .disabled(...), which reads store.selection. Since .contextMenu's content closure is evaluated on every ordinary body pass (not only when the menu opens), that resubscribed every card face on the board to every selection change — the exact O(board) regression RENDER-INSTRUMENTATION.md's isSelected/selectedCount split exists to prevent, caught by BoardRenderPerformanceTests and MarqueeRenderCostTests. Fixed by reading the already-hoisted, non-Observable `selectedCount` parameter instead, which answers the same "how many ride along" question at zero extra subscription cost. xcodegen generate, the Kanban scheme build, and the full KanbanTests suite (2816 tests) are clean.

Lanework — Design Documents
A ground-up rewrite of the Kanban app, to ship as Lanework on the Mac App Store. The old repo (../../Kanban, one level above this repository — not the rewrite's own Kanban/ source folder, which shares the codename) was a pathfinder — it never shipped, but it is the reference implementation and the source of hard-won decisions. This design starts from a clean slate and keeps only what earned its place. The rewrite keeps the internal codename Kanban (bundle id dev.rzen.indie.Kanban).
Each document covers one aspect of the design. Within each:
- Decisions — settled, either carried over from the old app or newly made.
- Changes from Kanban — where this rewrite deliberately diverges.
- Open questions — flagged for iteration; nothing here is implicitly settled.

Deferred design iterations
The card window (05-card-window.md), toolbar (03-board-ui.md ▸ Toolbar), styling controls (03-board-ui.md ▸ Styling ▸ Controls), and comments (01 ▸ Enhanced schema + 05 ▸ The comments column — designed 2026-07-29, shipping post-2.0) each had their focused pass and are settled.
The authoritative list of open design passes is the findings board (Lanework Redesign.kanban ▸ Issues to Resolve) — this section stopped enumerating by hand after drifting twice. Standing examples as of 2026-07-29: the attachment-undo staging design and the EchoLedger foreign-undo bridge (both flagged in 13-native-undo.md), Teams' tracker integration (no design yet), the fail-fast decision surface (01 ▸ Refuse), and the drop-release settle presentation (03 ▸ Motion — deliberately last in line).
Wishlist
Ideas worth keeping but outside the committed design live in ../WISHLIST.md.
Terminology
The rewrite adopts lane as the canonical term for what the old app called a column (it's in the name: Lane-work). "Column" survives only when referring to the old app or to interior card-grid columns inside a wide lane.
