Find and inspect Kanban cards

Choose Find cards to search the loaded board by title, full description, assignee, due date, label, list name or checklist text. Matches ignore case. Selecting a result opens the existing card editor when card writes are available, or a read-only detail view when they are unavailable. Search leaves every card, list count and source position in place. Unmapped cards are included.

Find counts all matches in the loaded projection and presents the first 100 results. Narrow the query to find another card. For native tables, Find labels its scope as the current loaded Table page; it does not search other pages, request another query or imply that the page represents the entire table. Navigate to another page and reopen Find to inspect those records.

Read-only cards can be opened with a click or Enter/Space. The detail view shows the full mapped description, labels, assignee, due date, color and any local-board checklist, without admitting an editor or writer. Hosts without commit receipts and legacy arrays without stable ids retain this inspection path. On local and named-array Views, a declared card-selection event continues to run on its card click; use Find to inspect the projection without sending another selection event. Native Table Views retain their existing declared-control behavior.

Read-only details are a snapshot captured when the card opens. Close and reopen to see refreshed data. This keeps a legacy array refresh from silently showing another row at the same position. Native Table details identify their record; if stored labels cannot be decoded, they show the original label text with an explanation. Other fields follow the existing Kanban display mappings. This view is not a raw source-record export or a substitute for Table.

The dialogs support keyboard focus, Tab navigation, Escape and returning focus to a visible control in the current board. Suspended or hidden surfaces yield focus and Escape handling; resuming retains the Find query and existing editor draft. Native Table activity also retains unfinished text and its Load-saved confirmation. Hidden activity starts no new save, file transfer or save-preparation flush; work already started stays with its original owner. Find and inspection do not remove cards from print. Native Table print keeps its existing loaded-page scope.

Stable identity, acknowledged writes, recovery, activity and column ownership remain governed by Kanban integrity. The workflow example is Find and inspect loaded cards.

Choose Search Table cards on a native Table-backed board to search beyond the loaded page. Enter text and submit Search Table; results keep the saved view and appear in pages of 100. Mapped text fields are searched using native substring matching; numeric fields and activity are excluded. Opening a result uses its exact record and the existing guarded card editor, or read-only details. Changing owners or closing/suspending search discards late responses. Board order, page, counts and print stay unchanged.
