rzen 90cf82d740 Implement drag & drop with the locality model
The second half: system drag sessions over phase 1's model, per
DRAG-REORDER.md and 04-interactions.md § Drag & drop.

- Card faces, lane headers, and trash rows drag as NSItemProvider sessions
  (two exported UTTypes, JSON payload in flatten order, plain-text titles as
  the secondary representation) — replacing m4's custom lane-reorder gesture
  and trash drag-out wholesale; the app-wide DragSession carries the members,
  the frozen dragged sizes, the live proposal, and the effective operation.
- Three drop delegates (lane masonry, strip, window fallback), each accepting
  both types and routing internally per the single-target-dispatch rule; the
  cursor is the physical mouse converted to strip space; proposals come from
  DropSlotMath with hysteresis threaded through, and the lane-strip proposal
  clamps in front of the shown trash.
- Locality picks the default — move within a board, copy across, the badge
  tracking live; ⌥ forces copy (ignored on within-board lane drags), ⌘
  forces move; trash rows restore within their board (positional), copy out
  across boards by default, ⌘ forcing the true restore-move.
- N contiguous shadows with reflow keyed on the proposal; the
  committed-overlay hold renders the dropped arrangement until the reload
  echo lands (1.5 s dissolution deadline for refused writes); the
  re-grounding trio: geometry re-derives per render, proposals re-validate
  by liveness at release, an emptied drag cancels itself.
- Edge autoscroll (ticking driver over DragAutoScrollMath, re-targeting per
  step), the mouse-up-gated late-event cleanup, and the polling watchdog —
  the pathfinder's lifecycle traps, ported.
- Store: moveLanes and multi-card restoreByDrag join the one-bracket drop
  commits.

Lanework — Feature Wishlist

Ideas worth developing further, deliberately outside the current design scope. Items get recorded as they come; grooming happens later. The DESIGN/ documents hold the committed design — nothing here is committed.

Items

1. "While you were away" digest

A human-facing digest of what changed on a board since the user last looked, derived from the git trail (commit messages already describe every settled change, agent and human alike). The read-ritual half of the masterplan pattern (DESIGN/08-agent-integration.md): agents file cards at near-zero friction all week; the digest is how the human catches up and stays honest about the plan. Sketch: on opening a board (or in the board popover), "since you last opened: 4 cards added by claude-code, 2 moved to Done" — clicking through highlights the affected cards. Requires git-enabled boards; another reason the git trail is the substrate of record.

2. In-app shortcut recorder pane

A Settings ▸ Shortcuts pane with a per-command recorder, writing the same NSUserKeyEquivalents mechanism the committed system-native remapping uses (DESIGN/04-interactions.md ▸ Configurable bindings) — so menus would keep showing effective bindings either way. Set aside as ceremony: System Settings ▸ App Shortcuts already covers remapping completely because every command is a menu item. Revisit only if users demonstrably don't find the system path.

3. Move cards to another lane before deleting a lane

An explicit "Move cards to…" action (context menu on a lane) that relocates a lane's cards to a chosen lane in one gesture. The old lane-delete confirmation dialog offered this as a delete intercept; the trash design replaced the dialog with a plain recoverable tombstone (DESIGN/04-interactions.md), so the relocation convenience — if ever wanted — should return as a deliberate standalone action, not a prompt.

4. Restore a card version from its History section

The card window's History section (DESIGN/05-card-window.md) is read-only in v1. A per-row "Restore this version" would forward-restore the card folder at that commit (a new commit — "Restore card 'X'" — never a rewrite, per DESIGN/06-history-undo.md). Needs design: attachments at the old version, versions that lived in another lane, interaction with the trash and the undo stack.

5. Lane history

Per-lane commit trail, the lane sibling of the card History section. Undecided whether it's wanted at all (a lane's own commits — rename, restyle, resize, reorder — are sparse; most of what changes "in" a lane belongs to its cards) and where it would surface, since lanes have no window.

6. EchoLedger-synthesized foreign undo (base edition)

Narrow base Lanework's honest gap vs Pro — foreign/agent edits aren't ⌘Z-able without git (DESIGN/13-native-undo.md ▸ Out of scope). The EchoLedger already classifies every foreign diff for announcements; it could synthesize inverse operations and push foreign steps onto the native stack, making an agent's edit undoable in base too. Real design needed: ordering against app steps, attribution in menu titles, user expectations when undoing work they didn't do, interaction with the staleness rules.
