The board = `TASKBOARD.md` inside the case library (create it if absent: header = product top-level goal + global plan + one line per track, followed by the case index and the one-off area). **Hard rule: a case file must never be written into a different project** — read the target **absolute path** back to the user before writing. Measured, and it went wrong once: a session in a throwaway project wrote three personal-admin files into the main project's case library, numbered them off the main project's sequence, and rode along into the main projec
