Summary

Migrates Cursor↔Kombai messaging from the single-file .kombai/MESSAGE-BOARD.md channel to a local directory drop-box at .board-cursor-kombai/ so both sides can poll near-synchronously without committing live traffic.

Repo changes

  • Add .board-cursor-kombai/ with tracked README.md (protocol), open.example.md (Decision record leads redraw seed), turn.example.md, and outbox/archive .gitkeeps
  • Add root BOARD.md pointer
  • Gitignore live open.md, turn.md, outbox contents, and archive contents (keep .gitkeeps)
  • Point .kombai/README.md at the new channel; mark MESSAGE-BOARD.example.md deprecated
  • Keep ignoring .kombai/MESSAGE-BOARD.md

Near-sync protocol (short)

  1. turn.md is exactly cursor | kombai | idle
  2. Cursor writes outbox-cursor/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<slug>.md, updates open.md, sets turn to kombai
  3. Kombai polls, does design-only work, writes outbox-kombai/..., sets turn to cursor
  4. Cursor archives done files, sets turn to idle or next task
  5. Never edit the other side’s outbox; never commit live state

Replace the single-file MESSAGE-BOARD channel with .board-cursor-kombai/
(turn.md, open.md, outboxes, archive). Keep live state gitignored; track
protocol, examples, and .gitkeep placeholders. Point .kombai/README at the
new directory and deprecate the old board.

Resolve conflicts with #34/#35 by keeping the branch's blanket ignores for
.board-cursor-kombai/, BOARD.md, and .kombai/, which cover the canvas and
design-systems paths develop added.
