Phase 3 of the decision surface, completing the card (01 ▸ Malformed input, settled 2026-07-31). An attended open's fail-fast walk transforms the loading window's content into one aggregated surface — never a sheet, never a chain: defects grouped by class, each class stated once with its files listed (Reveal in Finder + Open in Editor per row), a class-level default preselected, per-item override behind a disclosure. Only honest choices: YAML and malformed-schema get Editor + Re-check (Skip below the root); newer-than-app gets Skip alone and blocks the board at the root; the two root repairs — minted index, schema: 1 stamp — are defaults. Repair and Open applies fixes in one store-less write bracket and re-walks: clean proceeds, remainder re-aggregates into the same surface. Cancel and ⌘W retire to welcome's row; restored opens never see the surface at all (OpenOrigin rides the PendingOpen carrier). Skips are per-open consent that rides the session — the store retains the skip set and every reload passes it — and the opened board posts a warning-tone notice naming what was left out, each item's Reveal riding the banner strip's new reveal control. On Pro boards the repair bracket binds its own EchoLedger, heal-marks everything, and the store adopts it before the committer starts, so repairs land as one separate commit authored Lanework Integrity — pinned end to end. Also fixed en route: a retired loading window left its close interception installed and returned false from windowShouldClose forever, blocking quit.

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Lanework Pro is an optional subscription in Settings; its first feature — git-backed board history — is included below, with remote sync still to come.
|
|
|
|
Pro adds git version history to any board from the board popover, with no git installation needed.
|
|
|
|
A board that's already a git repository opens with its history live automatically — cloning a shared board just works.
|
|
|
|
Every settled change on a git board becomes a history entry with a plain-language description, like *Move card 'Fix login' to Doing*.
|
|
|
|
Edits from agents and other apps are recorded under their own authorship, so a git board's history always says who changed what.
|
|
|
|
Undo and redo on git boards restore earlier states as new history entries — nothing is ever erased — and the undo trail survives relaunching the app.
|
|
|
|
Every card window on a git board gains a History section listing the changes that touched that card, newest first.
|
|
|
|
On git boards, everything done in a card window becomes a single history entry when the window closes.
|
|
|
|
Switch or create branches from the board popover, with an explicit save-or-discard step protecting unsaved card edits.
|
|
|
|
The name and email on a board's history entries are editable in the board popover and stored in the board's own repository.
