New books dirs get .codex/hooks.json beside .claude/settings.json; both
SessionStart hooks run one justfile recipe, which reports the viewer's
state per [viewer] open_at_start (and opens it itself for "always").
Codex runs project hooks only once the dir is trusted and the hook
approved, so new --codex says so; AGENTS.md stays the fallback.

The viewer offer (open_at_start) lived only in AGENTS.md, so it depended
on the agent remembering it on its first turn. The scaffold's
.claude/settings.json now runs just gui-status at session start and hands
the agent the result plus open_at_start.

The scaffolded justfile now detaches the viewer (log in books-data/gui.log)
and won't open a second one for the same books. AGENTS.md tells the agent
to check gui-status at session start and follow open_at_start
(ask/always/never) in wanderbooks.toml.

books.show asks the viewer to open an entry, an account register, a
report (dates, month/quarter/year columns, prior-period or prior-year
comparison), a document, a search, or a page. The request lives outside
the books (runtime dir, keyed by data dir, written atomically); the
viewer watches it beside the journal and applies books before
navigating. 66 tools.
Site: the dashboard is the hero again; 'Here's what using it looks like'
shows the session beside the viewer, ending in books.show; the cash page
replaces the repeated overview lower down.

wanderbooks new --codex registers the books' MCP server with Codex (as
wanderbooks-<dir>) and starts Codex; the scaffolded justfile gains codex
and codex-setup. The site drops 'hire', says free up front, shows
Claude Code or Codex + wanderbooks = a complete bookkeeping system, and
explains MCP and cost in the FAQ.

CPA package: every receipt behind the period's entries with an index,
company documents, the journal as IIF, the 1099 worksheet, and a README;
include_receipts=false for a light package. The scaffolded AGENTS.md
covers receipts from email, switching from QuickBooks/Xero/spreadsheets,
and working with the CPA. GUI: a books copy without a server database
reads 'Read-only copy'. Site: example prompts, QuickBooks comparison,
what it does and doesn't do yet, the CPA section, FAQ.

Store::verify compares the whole SQLite projection, every table row for
row, against a fresh projection of the journal; verify_and_heal rebuilds a
drifted database (keeping the old file) at every server start and via the
new books.verify tool, which also re-hashes every blob. The GUI checks the
server's database read-only and every stored file, and shows the result.
rebuild() also drops stale WAL/SHM files.
site/: the wanderbooks website (just site, just publish). install.sh:
OS detection (Windows points to WSL2), C compiler and git checks,
WANDERBOOKS_REPO. Windows: no directory fsync off Unix; .exe-aware lookup.
Repo justfile: check, build, install, demo, site.

wanderbooks new DIR installs the server and GUI if missing, writes the
books dir (AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md, wanderbooks.toml, justfile, .mcp.json,
.claude/settings.json approving the server), commits, and starts claude
onboarding. install.sh: Rust + cargo install + wanderbooks new in one
line. The tax summary labels its net when accounts are uncategorized.
