A board is a projection of the project graph onto lifecycle states. It shows how closure flows through the system.

ColumnContentsClosure meaning
GapPredicate graph violationsIdentified but unaddressed
ShapedPlans with status: proposed or acceptedPath to closure is designed
ActivePlans with status: activeClosure in progress
ClosedPlans with status: completedPartial closure achieved

The board is generated from plan frontmatter by the review-plans skill, not maintained by hand.

A WIP limit constrains the Active column: at most 2-3 plans active simultaneously. This prevents the system from dispersing energy across too many partial closures.
