swaits 0322778683 docs(arap): B-41, the bookspec examples, and the four registers (P4b S7)
rules.md B-41 states the write-off: the direct method the owner chose
(A-5), Dr 6990 / Cr 1200 with the receivable tagged, at most what is
owed and at most the least owed from that day on (a partial write-off as
§1.166-3(a) allows), refused on cash-basis books (§1.166-1(e)), its
evidence filed in the same call (§1.166-2(a)); bills are never written
off (ASC 405-20-40-1); and a recovery is not a new movement (D-49): the
same year, reverse the write-off and record the payment; a later year, a
plain entry to a bad-debt-recoveries revenue account, the invoice staying
written off (IRC §111).

bookspec states B-41 for the first time and gives B-38 its example: two
new examples, bad-debt-direct-write-off (two partial write-offs of one
invoice, the balances and the trial balance worked by hand) and
arap-hand-control-posting-refused (a hand line an earlier version wrote
replays, the same line written today is refused). The example schema
gains the dated write_off event, lets a refused entry say so (an entry
posts whole or not at all; older and refused never combine), and its
refusal vocabulary gains untagged_control_line, B-38's control guard.

The registers: docs/architecture.md names the new tool group;
docs/receipt-store.md lists invoice.written_off and what replay does with
it; docs/parity.md records the slice (no row changes status, the floor
stands); docs/testing.md records every test and what P12 must mutate;
docs/verification.md the two Lean theorems and what they cover.

No figure moves: no golden file changed.

swaits 1441dabcca feat(deploy): self-host recipe, the enforced isolation flag, and the tunnel's door (P9a)
The books can live on a machine of the owner's own (plan 3.8, 8.2 P9a,
D-51). Three things make that honest instead of nominal:

- `--isolation same_user|enforced` sets `server::Isolation`, carried
  through `Served` and `BooksServer` to `books.start`. Locally the books
  stay `same_user (advisory)`; under the self-host unit the server is told
  `enforced` and reports `service_user (enforced)`. The server never
  guesses, and the literal it used to report is gone.
- `--http [ADDR]` binds the same MCP router on loopback (default
  127.0.0.1:7411) beside the Unix sockets, before the ready line, for the
  TLS proxy or tunnel in front of the server. It is the same bearer door
  and the same graceful close; a failed bind is reported and is not fatal
  (3.9). `serve` carries both flags through the host, so the system unit
  can ask for them once.

`deploy/wanderbooks-server.service` is the unit: a dedicated account, a
0700 data root, `ProtectSystem=strict`, no seccomp or Landlock (D-32), and
loopback-only networking. `deploy/README.md` is the recipe: install, setup,
move the books by `books adopt` with its head check (D-31: a copied book
is the transport), mint a bearer token, put Caddy or Tailscale Funnel in
front of the loopback door, and point Claude Code and Codex at it.

The two-account CI job (`.github/workflows/two-user.yml`) makes the
deployment and runs `crates/ledger-cli/tests/two_user.rs` as another
account: `agent_uid_cannot_read_tenant` proves the tenant root and its
journal are refused, then reads, writes, uploads, files, exports and
verifies over HTTP with the bearer (in a second book, so the moved books'
head is not advanced); `self_host_adopt_same_head` compares the moved
books' head and event count with the source clone's.
`isolation_label_is_enforced_under_the_unit` runs everywhere, including
the unit-file read that keeps the recipe from drifting.

Accounting reason for the shape: nothing here changes an entry, a report
or a figure. It changes who can reach them: the move is lossless and
verifiable at the head, and the boundary is the operating system's, not a
promise in our text. No journal code, kernel function, Kani harness or
Lean step is touched, so `just prove` is not required.

No go-ahead needed: no new journal feature or event; the live books are
unaffected.

swaits 0cf2f8f5c5 feat(package): one attention engine over PackageBooks (U0b)
Needs attention was computed by the viewer alone, while books.start
hand-picked a handful of next steps. The human's list and the agent's
could disagree, and a new item had to be written twice (or, as
books.start showed, not at all).

Move the engine to ledger-package over PackageBooks: one function,
find/find_with(books, today, settings, integrity), reads the ledger, the
journal's event types (an entry's origin), the attachments and their
links, the statements, the reconciliations, and the database check. The
viewer's attention module now only maps Target to Route; books.start
turns the same items into its next steps (why = the item's title, top 12),
so the list the human sees and the steps the agent gets cannot drift.

PackageBooks gains settings, journal, statements, reconciliations and
disk_check, implemented for Store and Snapshot, so both views answer
alike. The W-9, reconciliation and 1099 predicates move beside the items
to keep one copy. ledger-package gains ledger-config and serde_json (the
receipt policy and the tool arguments the items carry).

Tests: view_model.rs and spec_kept.rs pass unchanged; the new
attention_parity.rs compares the viewer and books.start item for item on
the demo books and on a book written entry by entry. just check green.

swaits cb4e955942 feat(bookspec): rule identifiers from B-1 to B-45 (P13)
Every rule of `docs/spec/rules.md` now has one bookspec identifier,
`BS-<area>-<n>`: eleven areas (entry, ledger, statement, period, partner,
asset, prepaid, arap, revenue, 1099, format), numbered in B-rule order
within its area. The table is `bookspec/spec/rules-index.md`, and each
stated rule carries its id under its heading in `docs/spec/rules.md`, so
a reader of either can find the other.

rules.md's DECISION status becomes bookspec's CHOICE: the specification
names the options and an engine declares its pick (`Claims::with_choice`),
which is what an example already meant by `status = "CHOICE"`. B-39 to
B-45 are allocated in `plan/served.md` 8.0.3 and not yet stated: they
carry an id and an area and no status, so a later unit fills them in
without moving anyone else's number.

The catalogue names the examples that demonstrate each rule (56 files,
each under at least one rule) and the rule each refusal reason belongs
to. A rule with no example cannot be claimed: a claim needs evidence.
`docs/architecture.md`, `docs/testing.md` (tests and the For-P12
mutation targets) and `docs/parity.md` record the new shape; the
bookspec README points at the checker, the runner and the adapter.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 ebb5fcb46f refactor!: files only by handle: uploads in, downloads out (D-46)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The owner (2026-10-23, via the question tool): "Uploads only"; and
before it: "What we would DEFINITELY want to avoid is passing a bunch
of BLOBs through AI context windows. That's just a pure waste." No file
passes through an agent's context, in either direction.

In: the inline arguments are gone with the 256 KiB limit (INLINE_MAX,
take_file's inline branch): content_base64 and its sha256 on
books.attach_receipt and books.file_document, w9_content_base64 and
w9_sha256 on books.set_w9, csv_text on the two CSV imports. A file comes
only by books.begin_upload and `wanderbooks upload`, named by its
upload_id; existing_attachment_id still names bytes stored already. The
five filing tools deny unknown fields, and any inline argument to any
tool is refused before it runs as an unknown argument pointing to
books.begin_upload (access log: refused inline_file).

Out: books.export (every format), books.asset_labels and
books.get_receipt view bytes hand the file over (HandedFile: download
command and expiry, D-29), as the CPA package and the W-9 do. Resource
reads stay text. A token keeps up to 64 handed files (was 16). The
access log's digest no longer exempts file bytes.

Docs: handbook files-in-out and parties-and-tins, mcp-interface.md,
rules.md, receipt-store.md, parties-and-attachments.md, plan/served.md
(D-46; the inline decisions marked superseded), STATUS.md, testing.md
(D-46: tests migrated to uploads and downloads, rewritten, removed,
added).

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 528c070605 feat: invoices and bills take a project, line by line (B-37 item 8)
A client project's invoiced revenue and a contractor's billed cost could
never count toward the project: books.create_invoice and books.create_bill
posted at once with untagged lines, and only a draft's line takes a class.
Job costing (B-37 item 3) collects a job's billings and the supplier
invoices for its direct costs on its cost sheet, so each document line
now takes an optional project.

The owner decided it on 2026-10-22 (plan D-43, rules.md B-37 item 8):
each line takes one project or none; a document spanning N projects is N
lines, each with its own amount; no percentage split, so every figure is
exact; a cost truly shared among projects names none on the document
and reaches projects only as entries of their own under the company's
monthly allocation convention, when books.conventions has one (otherwise
it stays untagged and the agent asks the human). The reasoning, stated
in B-37: job costing charges a job the costs traceable to it, whole, and
reaches shared costs only by allocation on a stated basis. ASC
340-40-25-7 counts as directly related both the costs traceable to a
contract (25-7(a), (b), (d), (e)) and allocations of costs that relate
directly to it (25-7(c)); 25-8 expenses general and administrative cost.
The books carry the first whole on the document's line and the second as
the allocation convention's own entries; neither is a percentage on the
document (sources/fasb-asc.md, 25-7 and 25-8 added). The handbook's
projects rule and the line's class parameter say the same, and no
handbook sentence lets a shared cost be split across a document's lines.

The accounting: the document's entry posts one revenue (an invoice's) or
expense (a bill's) line per project its lines name, in the order each is
first named, each the sum of that project's lines, and the untagged
lines' sum as one more line (arap::document_parts, conservation checked
by a proptest). A document naming no project therefore posts exactly the
one line every document posted before. The receivable or payable line is
never tagged: it is a balance-sheet line, which item 3 counts nothing;
the payments (receive_payment, pay_bill) move cash against it and take no
project either. Nothing but the projects moves: the P&L, the 1099
worksheet (payments made, B-19) and party totals (what moved the money,
B-35) read the same with or without the tags (twin-books test); the
projects with the untagged lines still partition the P&L.

- ledger-core: DocumentLine.class_id (serde-omitted when none, so old
  documents serialize as before); create_invoice / create_bill split the
  revenue or expense side by project and tag it; an unknown project is
  refused whole (atomically).
- ledger-store: a document line's project is journaled as class_id on
  invoice.created / bill.created, and the entry's line as
  entry.line_class_set right after its entry.line_added (the entry.posted
  lines carry class_id, as a hand-built entry's do). Behind a NEW journal
  feature, document_line_projects (KNOWN_FEATURES, declared by new books,
  asked for before the first journaled line, not even the control
  accounts written on refusal); not `projects`, which the live books
  already declared: the owner consents again at the next upgrade. A
  malformed class_id is corrupt; null or absent is none. Untagged
  documents journal byte for byte as before; old journals replay
  unchanged.
- ledger-mcp: each line takes class (id or name, resolved like
  add_line's, every one before anything is written); the result gains
  notes for a finished or abandoned project, and on an invoice for an
  on-spec project (is there now an agreement? on spec a hoped-for
  payment is no receivable, B-37 item 4), tagged anyway; books lacking
  the feature refuse with format_upgrade_pending. books.get_entry shows a
  line's class_id and project. The handbook's "an invoice or bill takes no
  project yet" caveat now depends on the books: gone where the feature is
  declared, an "until their format upgrade" note where it isn't.
- ledger-gui: an invoice's or bill's page (its entry's) lists the
  document's lines, each project a link that opens it; the demo's client
  invoices are tagged to "Client work", whose snapshot is now its revenue
  less its contractors. Looking at the page in a narrow window found a
  tagged line's tag pushing the amounts past the pane (any tagged entry):
  the name is now cut to leave the tag room, the tag itself at most half
  the cell.
- bookspec: an `invoice` event, and `lines` with `project` on a bill or
  an invoice; example projects-invoice-and-bill-lines-count-by-project,
  worked by hand, both projects client work (Zeta 3,500.00 - 1,200.00 =
  2,300.00; Harbor 200.00;
  untagged -1,750.00; together the P&L's 750.00; Dana's 1099 payments
  1,250.00).
- fuzz: fuzz_store_replay can declare journal features.
- Tests: core, store, MCP, viewer, the P2-served cutover fixture and a
  viewer/server parity test (its month lists the same length, not
  empty); a tagged document's reversal nets its projects to zero, live
  and replayed; books.get_entry's class_id; the handbook served as a
  resource both ways; each fix broken to confirm its test fails
  (docs/testing.md). Docs: rules.md B-27 and B-37 items 3 and 8,
  sources/fasb-asc.md, plan/served.md D-43,
  mcp-interface.md, testing.md, parity.md, plan/STATUS.md.

No proof changed (no kernel arithmetic: document_parts sums with the
existing document_total).

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 2f999c6050 P3: assets' posted and scheduled depreciation, their bases, and the K-1 on the tax basis (defect 13, D-41)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Book value is cost less what the books posted; the schedule's figure is
apart. An asset's acquired date comes from its entry. Contributed
property keeps its section 723 carryover basis apart from its depreciable
basis (the lower of value and adjusted basis), with its 704(c) built-in
gain and method. The K-1 worksheet reports tax-basis capital (Form 1065
Item L) beside the book figures, leaving open what only the CPA knows.

check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Direct method with the operating reconciliation and noncash schedules; it
foots by construction (Lean and Kani). Every non-cash account belongs to
one section; reversals net; a member or lender paying for the company is
cash borrowed and spent (D-42, constructive receipt and disbursement);
property a member contributes stays noncash. The bookspec seed: one loader
checks every example.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 68046665d0 docs: P0 review: server instructions, handbook, local files, fail closed
docs/mcp-interface.md: the connect text and its budgets, the handbook
(tool and resources), annotations, failing closed, import_local_file's
roots and refusals, the set_w9 path rule and where TIN-bearing files may
go. docs/testing.md: the P0 laws and the tests that check them.
docs/architecture.md: the journal format gate and the server's
fail-closed store lock.

Round-2 review (2026-10-16): mcp-interface.md lists all 26 destructive
tools (unlink_receipt, unlink_attachment and correct_asset were missing)
and openWorldHint false on every tool; the connect text states the
parties rule and the exact receipt rule, and how it fits its budget; the
lint covers every refusal; the import roots refuse /, the home folder and
folders holding the books or a key, the open is a component walk, every
missing or outside path gets one refusal, and the TIN-file registry and
text scan (and what they can't catch) are described. architecture.md:
the frozen envelope, the lenient next-line prev, no repair of newer
books. testing.md: the new laws and tests. verification.md and
parity.md: P0 notes (no new law to prove, no status moved).
The TIN text check, narrowed (2026-10-16; rules.md B-26,
mcp-interface.md): text is refused for a TIN the vault holds, in its
common renderings, or a stand-alone printed SSN or EIN shape, so bank
exports go in; the oracle a vault comparison gives is recorded as a
known limit for P7. testing.md: the P0 mutation run of the final diff,
per crate, and how each survivor was resolved (killed by a named test,
removed by simpler code, or argued equivalent).
The probe bound (rules.md B-26, mcp-interface.md): rule (a) answers
for at most two candidates a filing, so finding a TIN from its last four
takes on the order of 50,000 refused filings; the open limit now names
that path, closed by P2's access log and P7's human-only TIN channel.
testing.md: the law and its tests; tin_files.rs mutated again, 74 of
74 caught.

Review round 3: rules.md B-28 (four-digit years, amounts a line can
carry, checked products, bounded recurring runs) and B-26/B-27 updates
(BOM-less UTF-16, when set_w9 records); mcp-interface.md matches the
code (25 destructive tools, the five idempotent ones, no reverse_entry
receipt checklist, strictly above the threshold, no tool text names
wanderbooks.toml, dot names and roots inside the books refused, the new
settings lists); testing.md lists the new laws and this round's
mutation run.

Review round 4: rules.md B-28 says the bounds are for new commands
only, replay accepts every line an earlier version accepted, and derived
figures refuse rather than panic; mcp-interface.md documents plan_error
and the nullable totals; testing.md lists the old-books contracts and this round's
mutation run (core, store, MCP, config, GUI).

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 2d36fb05a4 feat(core): prove the accounting laws (Kani + Lean); fix three engine gaps
The money arithmetic every invariant rests on now lives in one kernel,
ledger-core/src/kernel.rs: signing a line, totals, net, per-account
movements, reversal, normal balances, trial-balance columns, closing
lines, and the rounding plug for member splits. It is generic over a
checked `Amount` trait. The engine runs it on Decimal (validate,
movements, reverse_entry, account_balance, close_period_to, allocate,
trial_balance): there is one copy of the arithmetic, and it is the one
under proof.

Three layers, docs/verification.md maps every law to its proofs:

- Kani (src/proofs.rs): 17 harnesses prove the kernel at i64 for every
  input up to 4 lines over 3 accounts. An entry is accepted exactly
  when it is two or more positive, in-range lines whose debits equal
  credits; accepted entries net to zero; grouping by account loses
  nothing; a reversal mirrors and cancels its original; trial-balance
  columns balance iff the books net to zero; closing lines zero their
  accounts and a close balances however the net is split; the plug
  makes parts sum to the whole. No panics, no overflow. kani::cover!
  shows the proofs are not vacuous.
- Lean 4 (verify/lean): 24 headline theorems for books of any size. The
  ledger is a state machine (add account, draft, post, reverse, open,
  close), and in every reachable state the books net to zero, the trial
  balance balances (as of any date), and the accounting equation holds.
  Posting only appends ("posted is forever"), closed periods are
  frozen, a close zeroes revenue and expenses and credits exactly the net
  income, and period statements add up. Audit.lean shows standard axioms
  only, no sorry.
- Bridge (tests/kernel_bridge.rs): the Decimal and i64 kernels agree.

What the proofs found (each one missed by every test, fuzzer, and
mutant):

- The engine accepted negative line amounts; only MCP refused them. Now
  NegativeAmountLine: direction is the side's job.
- Summing lines near Decimal::MAX panicked. Lines are now capped at one
  quadrillion and ten decimal places (AmountOutOfRange), which keeps
  every realistic sum exact, and the kernel's sums are checked.
- FX conversion (foreign_amount * fx_rate) could panic the same way; it
  is now a checked multiply.
- Kani itself: 0.68 mis-models symbolic-length copy_from_slice
  (model-checking/kani#4904) and reported a reversal that doesn't net to
  zero. The counterexample, replayed natively, passes, and a 15-line
  standalone crate reproduces the bug. Harnesses avoid bulk copies, and
  a should_panic canary will flag the upstream fix.

`just prove` runs it all (Kani memory- and time-capped, fails on an
unsatisfiable cover or a non-standard Lean axiom). AGENTS.md now makes
formal coverage part of every core change.

Also, docs: GnuCash is *an* oracle, never *the* oracle (the owner). The
spec is accounting principles, proved. Golden files are recomputed from
principles. External implementations (GnuCash, the old Sheet, QBO/Xero)
are cross-checks whose disagreements get adjudicated, never obeyed.
docs/oracle.md gains "Who is right"; AGENTS, README, architecture,
roadmap, parity, and STATUS are reworded to match.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 e6c49d6650 feat: tax categories and the tax summary report
wanderbooks is a general MCP-first accounting application: every
business needs its accounts mapped to where they land on its income tax
return, and its CPA needs book-to-tax differences surfaced, not hidden.

- ledger_core::tax: a catalog of stable categories (gross_receipts,
  commissions_fees, meals, guaranteed_payments, officer_compensation,
  nondeductible, ...) with kind (income, cost of goods, deduction), the
  returns each appears on (Schedule C, 1065, 1120-S, 1120), a default
  deductible percent (meals 50, nondeductible 0), and guidance. Keys,
  not line numbers: form lines move from year to year.
- Accounts carry tax_category and an optional deductible_percent
  override, validated against the account type (and the return, at the
  MCP layer), journaled as account.tax_set, replayed, projected (schema
  v6).
- tax_summary(start, end, form): the P&L grouped by category, book and
  deductible amounts (half away from zero to the cent), contra income
  (refunds) reducing receipts, and every account still uncategorized.
- MCP: books.tax_categories (filtered to the configured return),
  books.set_tax_category, a tax_summary report in every format and in
  the CPA package, chart output with categories, and a fifth
  tax_category column in chart CSV imports, validated before anything is
  created. [company] tax_form, or derived from tax_classification.

Scope stays book basis: no tax depreciation, basis, or filing.

Tests: a hand-computed quarter (50% meals 333.33 -> 166.67, penalties at
0%, refunds as negative receipts, guaranteed payments, one uncategorized

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 353bef1d5d feat: general ledger by account, trial balance as of, members' equity
Three reports a CPA expects that the engine could not produce:

- general_ledger(start, end): the canonical general ledger, organized by
  account in code order. Each account has its beginning balance, every
  posting in the period (date, entry, description, debit, credit, running
  balance on the normal side) and its ending balance, which ties to the
  trial balance. Each posting names its split: the one account on the
  opposite side of its entry, or "-Split-" when that side has several,
  so a compound entry (one debit, several credits) reads correctly from
  every account it touches. The entry-ordered listing the exports called a
  "general ledger" is really the general journal.
- trial_balance_as_of(as_of): a trial balance is always as of a date.
- members_equity(start, end, members): the statement of changes in
  members' equity for a multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership. Each
  member's capital roll-forward: beginning (capital plus their share of
  undistributed earnings), contributions, allocated net income (loss),
  distributions, ending. Allocation is by ownership share to the cent,
  the last member absorbing rounding, so totals are exact and the ending
  total equals balance-sheet equity; any equity change the roll-forward
  can't explain shows as "other" instead of disappearing. Shares must be
  positive and sum to exactly 1; capital accounts must be distinct
  equity accounts (LedgerError::InvalidMembers).
- CashFlowLine.account: the account a line is about, so renderers can
  name members instead of account codes.

Tests (every expectation computed by hand): trial balance as of Jan 31;
February general ledger with beginning balances, running balances, a
card that nets to zero, an inactive account still listed, and every
ending balance tied to the trial balance; a compound entry's splits from
all three sides; a two-member partnership where 666.67 and 100.01 split
unevenly (333.34/333.33, 50.01/50.00), with and without closing January,
tying to the balance sheet each month; bad member configuration.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 78ac7099b8 feat: period-scoped P&L and as-of balance sheet; closes don't zero periods
The engine only had life-of-ledger P&L and balance sheet totals, so every
export labeled with a date range or as-of date (PDF, XLSX, CPA package)
printed all-time numbers under that label. Core now has:

- profit_and_loss_for_period(start, end, class?) and
  balance_sheet_as_of(as_of), each with a line per account
  (StatementLine: code, name, normal-side amount) and exact totals.
- Ledger::closing_entry_ids(). Period statements exclude closing entries.
  A close (Dr revenue / Cr expense / net to Retained Earnings, dated at
  period end) moves earnings; it doesn't earn or spend. Counting it made a
  closed period's P&L read as break-even, and made the cash flow show zero
  net income plus a fake "owner contribution" to Retained Earnings. The
  as-of balance sheet keeps closing entries: after a close the earnings
  belong in Retained Earnings, not current earnings.

Tests: tests/statements.rs, a two-month fixture with every expected number
computed by hand (Jan NI 1,700; Feb 880; balance sheets on four dates; a
closed January still reporting 1,700 and a cash flow with one financing
line). Mutation-checked: dropping the closing exclusion fails it (0 vs
1,700). Properties: period P&Ls partition a year at any split, and a
range's net income equals the change in current earnings across it, with
A = L + E on both dates.
