Why

Twombly is a paid third-party product, so it comes out of Stack. The local board becomes the only canvas for stack:micro-branch.

What changed

Area Change
mb.py Removed the Twombly adapter, version pin, port 4848 logic, privacy env flags, feedback, --canvas and the Excalidraw scrub, which only existed to pass Twombly's secret check. publish now starts or reuses the board and returns its URL. Older state files load cleanly: unknown config keys are dropped
Kept Design Studio preset, per-origin board frames (r<N>-t<M>.localhost), --view, --entry, --localize / --localize-fonts, the setup-symlink exclude fix
Docs references/twombly.md deleted. SKILL.md, setup recipes, troubleshooting and design-studio.md rewritten for the board. The plan gets a dated note; its history is left as written
Tests Twombly tests and the fake CLI removed. New: board URL on publish, loading old Twombly-era state, and a test that fails if "twombly" appears anywhere under skills/
Registry Rebuilt; catalog_digest bumped

What the board doesn't do that Twombly did

  • Comments on frames, and knowing which frame the person is looking at. Feedback now happens in chat, by label (R1 · T2 ...).
  • An infinite pan-and-zoom canvas. The board is a page of cards with scaled live frames and an "open" link for each.
  • Sharing a canvas with other people. The skill never used this; it was the person's button.

Tested

  • test_micro_branch.py: 18 pass. Full suite: 511 pass.
  • The ban test fails on a planted file that mentions Twombly.
  • End to end on a fresh clone of a Design Studio install: two takes on one view, published to the board, then checked in Chromium. Each frame loads on its own origin with local fonts and thumbnails and shows its own change.

Not merged and not reinstalled, by request.

…the only canvas

Twombly is a paid third-party product, so it comes out of Stack.

- mb.py: remove the Twombly adapter, its version pin, port and privacy
  flags, `feedback` (canvas comments and focus) and the Excalidraw scrub,
  which only existed to pass Twombly's secret check. `--canvas` is gone.
  `publish` now starts or reuses the board and returns its URL. State
  written by older versions loads cleanly; unknown config keys are dropped.
- Kept: the Design Studio preset, per-origin board frames (r<N>-t<M>.localhost),
  `--view`, `--entry` and `--localize`.
- Docs: references/twombly.md deleted; SKILL.md, setup recipes,
  troubleshooting and the Design Studio reference rewritten for the board.
  The plan gets a dated note instead of a rewrite.
- Tests: Twombly tests removed; new tests for the board URL on publish,
  loading old state, and a ban on "twombly" anywhere under skills/.

…the board

Loading state now drops settings, canvas records and frame fields this
version doesn't know, and turns takes another canvas refused into
published ones, since the board shows them. Plain `init` writes the
cleaned state to disk. The test builds a Twombly-era state with a
round, two takes and old frame data, and checks the file on disk.
