A card's activity feed

The third thing a card record holds, after its fields and its checklist: the Activity panel, tabbed into "Comments" — the discussion on its own, threaded, a reply nested under what it answers — and "History", what the board's ref says changed, field by field, read straight back out of the commits the other scenarios only ever assert the subject of.

Both halves are local-board only, and for the same reason: a card tracking a GitHub issue has no ref of its own to walk and no reply concept to render. Every scenario here therefore builds a local board through the UI, the way board.feature and board-cards.feature do, and ends on the repository's own storage rather than on the render.

The card's history says what changed, field by field

Every field change lands in the History tab as its own entry — who changed what, and from which value to which — read straight out of the board's own commits rather than kept in a separate log. It starts from the card's own creation, and switching to Comments hides these rows entirely: a comment is not a change, and History is the one tab that says so.

Do this

1. Open the board
2. Create a board named Sprint 12 with the card prefix GM
3. Add a card titled Polish the toolbar to the To do column
4. Open the card Polish the toolbar
5. Set the card priority to High
6. Open the History activity tab
7. Open the Comments activity tab

You should see

• The card history records Priority changing from Normal to High
• The card history records the card being created
• The card history is not listed
• No error notification is displayed

A reply is threaded under the comment it answers

Replying to a comment keeps a discussion in one place instead of scattering follow-ups as new top-level notes: the reply nests directly under the comment it answers, and stays nested after the card record is closed and reopened — the thread is rebuilt from what's stored, not held only in the dialog's own state.

Do this

1. Open the board
2. Create a board named Sprint 12 with the card prefix GM
3. Add a card titled Rework the exporter to the To do column
4. Open the card Rework the exporter
5. Write the comment Waiting on the design review
6. Open the Comments activity tab
7. Reply The review landed this morning to the comment Waiting on the design review
8. Close the card record
9. Open the card Rework the exporter
10. Open the Comments activity tab

You should see

• The card record threads The review landed this morning under Waiting on the design review
• The card Rework the exporter stores The review landed this morning as a reply to Waiting on the design review
• The card record threads The review landed this morning under Waiting on the design review
• The board history records git-manager: comment on board card
