swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 1e42d8f265 merge: P4b S7, bad debts (branch S7, 4b4fecb9)
The fourth of the paused branches: Ledger::write_off and the bad_debts
control role, invoice.written_off with its evidence filed in the same
store call, books.write_off_invoice, the write-off on the timeline and
in Needs attention, Lean writeOff_within_bounds, rules.md B-41 and the
bookspec examples. Twenty-eight files conflicted with the S4.4, S5 and
S6 merges; resolved as plan 8.0.2 says, keeping both sides' appends with
their seams restored, and: the scope table at 125; S7's law numbered 37;
B-41 placed before B-42; the handbook's step 4 and recovery procedures
folded into the one invoices-and-bills section; S7's wire tests in their
own module with the confirm S4.4's contract needs; S7's copy of the
payment steps dropped (S6 replaced them with Ledger::settle) and its
write-off journaled through S6's journal_auto_lines; in the old-books
fixture S7's hand-written write-off moved to a second invoice, since
S6's hand-written payment settles invoice 1 in full.

//! bookspec's rule identifiers and their catalogue.
//!
//! Every rule of `docs/spec/rules.md` (B-1 to B-45) has one bookspec
//! identifier, `BS-<area>-<n>`, allocated by [`Area`] and numbered in
//! B-rule order within its area. `bookspec/spec/rules-index.md` is the
//! table, and a test keeps the two in step. The rules from B-39 on are
//! allocated in `plan/served.md` 8.0.3 but not yet stated; they carry an
//! identifier and an area and no status, so a later unit fills them in
//! without moving anyone else's number.
