 renumber, so a note referring to "item 7" keeps meaning the same thing. An item

-**One item's code is not on master.** Item 20 was built in full on the branch
-`item-20-message-rows` (pushed, not merged) and parked: the user wants to
-explore a layout other than the table before deciding. This document and the
-plan beside it were brought onto master on purpose, so the backlog reads
-correctly at session start, but master has none of that code. Any file and line
-reference in items 20 and 53 points at the BRANCH. Item 53 is where the

-either.
+**Items 20 and 53 are both on master since 2026-08-10**, as the card list. Item
+20's original presentation, the one the user rejected on sight, is preserved on
+the branch `item-20-message-rows` at 029a50e and was never merged; the branch
+`card-list` carries the work that was. Any file or line reference in item 20's
+entry below points at that PARKED branch, not at master, where the same lines
+are unrelated. Item 53 records why the first attempt was rejected and is worth
+reading before changing the thread pane again.
