deleteItem writes deleted: <now> in place through updateIndex — the folder never moves, nothing beneath it is touched (hiding the subtree is the renderer's ancestor walk, not a stored flag). restoreItem removes the key — position-perfect by construction, every duplicate occurrence taken so a hand-written twin cannot resurrect the tombstone. purgeItem physically removes the tree; an already-missing folder is success (a Finder deletion converges on the same end state), and no prior tombstone is required (Delete Immediately skips the stage by design). Board-root deletion is structurally unreachable via the UUID-shape guard shared with move/copy. Neither delete nor restore polices liveness — re-deleting refreshes the timestamp, restoring a live item is a harmless stamped rewrite. 14 new unit tests; 234 total green.

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/.
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.
Development
The Xcode project is generated — project.yml is the source of truth, not the .xcodeproj:
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.
