Info Lives on the Card; the Panel's ⓘ Becomes Search

In plain terms: a file's cover note is read on the file itself, not in a side drawer. The side panel is Goldie's, and its one button finds things to add.

Decision

Owner ruling, 2026-10-09.

1. No About view in the panel. The ⓘ toggle and the FolioAboutPanel face it opens are retired on every screen.
2. List cards already carry it. A Workspace, Project or Library card shows name, guide, tags and people when expanded (/docs/decisions/goldie-card); the panel only repeated them.
3. A Block or Module opens as its card. Its menu gains About (first row; named About over "Info" by the owner, 2026-10-09). About opens the block in place as the expandable Goldie card, the same card a search result shows: icon and kind on the top line; the panel with the clause on white, then the guide (a Module has no clause, so its guide leads); the title at the bottom left; people at the bottom right. Pressing the card, or its chevron, folds it back into wording on the page.
4. A Block shows its tags as every card does (owner, 2026-10-09, reversing the same day's option A): the tags row reads the block's classification labels. The guide changes by asking Goldie; a proposal redlines in place with the card's cross and tick, as on a Project card.
5. The panel header's ⓘ becomes 🔍 Search, opening the Add view of /docs/decisions/add-in-the-goldie-panel. Pressed again, or Back to Goldie, returns to the conversation.

Alternatives refused

• A ⋯ menu in the panel header (Goldie, Search, Info): with Info gone, one icon is enough.
• A guide band above the clause, the title on top: the card's title sits bottom left on every card; a block keeps that shape.

Consequences

• Until a Block or Module card shows its guide, the panel's About is the only place to read one (block-card.tsx "Shown only" there): retire the panel view only once About on the card lands on the document screen.
• /docs/decisions/side-panel-goldie-is-maker-only and the panel's BuilderPanelFace "about" go with it.
