Pull replenishment: a fixed number of containers, and the board that makes them visible.

ScreenKindWhat it is ColumnsFieldsActions
Kanban Board Workspace Loops down the side, card states across. The only screen in the module with no table on it, deliberately: a kanban system that has to be read as a list has already lost the property that makes it work. 0 0 0
Kanban Loops List The control cycle: what circulates between where and where, in containers of what size, and how many of them exist. The card count is the cap on the stock in the system. 11 20 2
Kanban Cards List The containers. Their states, summed, ARE the work in progress — there is no other number. 10 0 3
Loop Sizings Read-only list What the arithmetic said the card count should be, against what it is — with the inputs kept, because "why do we have eleven cards on this part" is otherwise unanswerable a month later. 11 0 1
Card Movements Read-only list Every state change, timestamped. The loop’s real cycle time is measured off these, which is what makes the sizing self-correcting rather than aspirational. 9 0 0
