profit_and_loss_by_class re-added every posted entry in the range,
closing entries included: after closing January, its by-class P&L for
January showed an unclassified row of the whole period's net income,
negated. Closing entries are left out, as profit_and_loss_for_period
leaves them out.
tests/oracle_mcp.rs (24 tests): every export (CSV, JSON, XLSX, PDF,
IIF) against ledger-core's reports on the same books; the CPA package's
contents; P&L by class; the 1099 worksheet; disposals; depreciation;
payroll remittance; the digest against the journal; books.show's viewer
commands; resources; receipts and documents round-tripping; the 25 MiB
upload limit; bank import sides; reference resolution; partial FX lines;
preview balances. Written against the mutation run's 126 survivors.

year_earnings counted every closing entry dated this year against this
year's income, but a close takes all unclosed income through its end,
earlier years included. A partnership closing January after an unclosed
December printed "Net income (loss)" -969 for a year earning +730, and
the closed December as "Undistributed earnings, prior years". The
unclosed part is now the income after the last close, from no earlier
than the fiscal year's start (closes are cumulative).
Unit tests: the 25 MiB upload limit, YYYY-MM periods, config_mentions
for every setting naming a code, report members, year earnings before
and after a close, and which entries may lose their last receipt.
tests/startup.rs: --help, the default data dir under HOME, settings
read from beside the books, and a held lock refused after the wait
instead of waited on forever.

Read in the ASC basic view and vendored as short quotes with paragraph
numbers (docs/spec/sources/fasb-asc.md). Depreciation: any systematic and
rational allocation of cost less salvage (360-10-35-4); prepaids are
current assets with no prescribed expensing method (340-10-05-4,
210-10-45-1/2); cash flows gross and classified three ways, owners'
advances financing (230-10-45-7/10/14(b)/15(b)); a principal's revenue
is gross (606-10-55-37B). Citation fixed: 230-10-45-14(b), not (2).

0.00, every receipted one posted, each contested draft posted exactly
once, books verify and balance, a restart replays the same head.
spec_mcp.rs: the response timeout is 180 s (a mutation run's jobs

ledger-config: parse gets a sourced spec. A fiscal year starts on the
first of a month (IRS Pub. 538); tax_classification is read by whole
words (Treas. Reg. 301.7701-3, Schedule C instructions; "business corp"
no longer reads as an S corp, "corporation or S corporation" is refused);
duplicate or blank members and shared capital accounts are refused; a
negative or non-grammatical receipt threshold is refused; codes trimmed.
tests/spec_config.rs (65 spec-blind tests, 14 properties), fuzz target
fuzz_config_parse (weekly). Mutation: 55 of 55 viable caught (from 25/38).
The receipt policy moves to ledger-config, with one loader
(effective_receipt_policy) and one decimal grammar, so the server and
the viewer enforce and show the same rule (the viewer had its own: only
expense-like debits, a silent $25 default, and no config.json).
ledger-mcp: a module spec (MCP 2025-06-18 tools, JSON-RPC 2.0, the
operating contract). Amounts in are exactly -?digits[.digits]; a number
that is one account's code and another's id (vendors, classes alike) is
refused, not guessed; the threshold is validated at startup. Fixed:
add_line with a bad class journaled the line before refusing;
profit_and_loss_by_class ignored `class`; aging buckets said "0". A wire
in front of rmcp answers malformed JSON with -32700 and invalid requests
with -32600 and their id (rmcp dropped the first, omitted the id).
tests/spec_mcp.rs (26 spec-blind tests: every tool's result against its
own outputSchema, a random-call state machine checking the journal is
untouched by every refusal, amount grammar, previews, the receipt policy).
ledger-gui: money, accounting, and dollars never round (they rounded to
cents, banker's style); export file names avoid Windows device names,
trailing dots and spaces, empty names, and 255-byte overflow; specs on
attention, history, fuzzy search, and axis ticks.
ledger-core: the lifetime profit_and_loss is renamed unclosed_earnings
(docs/testing.md #3).

Ledger::renumber_account changes only the code (entries name accounts by
id): refuses an unknown account, a blank or used code, and a control code
for an account of the wrong type or a placeholder. Journaled as
account.renumbered (with the previous code), replayed, projected, shown
in the viewer's journal. The MCP tool lists wanderbooks.toml settings
that still name the old code. The server instructions now warn that the
engine can't tell a same-type account with another purpose at a control
code (a hosting expense at payroll's 6100).
Tests: core property (only the code changes; trial balance equal), core
refusals, the store's command property, MCP end to end with restart.
Mutation on the new code: 8 of 8 viable caught.

From the IRS form instructions (now quoted in docs/spec/sources/
irs-tax-lines.md):
- On Forms 1065 and 1120-S, Schedule K takes "only taxable portfolio
interest", and charitable contributions are among the items the entity
"must state separately". The tax summary counted both in ordinary
income and deductions; they now go in TaxSummary::separately_stated,
outside book_net and tax_net, and the report, MCP export, and viewer
list them under "Separately stated to owners (Schedule K)".
- Schedule C: "Do not include charitable contributions". The category no
longer applies to Schedule C (a sole proprietor's gift is personal, an
owner draw).
- interest_income's note: interest earned in the business itself is
ordinary income (other_income).
XLSX: a cell number is a binary double and Excel honors 15 significant
digits (Microsoft, "Excel specifications and limits"), so an amount over
$9,999,999,999,999.99 or finer than a cent is written as its exact text,
right-aligned, instead of a number Excel would show wrong. The old
conversion also fell back to 0.0 silently; gone. Property test: every
whole-cent amount up to 15 digits round-trips exactly.

New vendored sources (docs/spec/sources/): Intuit's bank CSV upload and
IIF formats, ECMA-376 / Excel number storage, and the IRS form lines the
tax categories map to.
IIF export (rewritten to Intuit's IIF Import Kit):
- declares every account first (!ACCNT NAME, ACCNTTYPE, ACCNUM): an
undeclared account is created in QuickBooks "as a new bank account";
the MCP export types them (cash accounts BANK, the control accounts AR
and AP, registered fixed assets FIXASSET, the rest by type);
- subaccounts by colon path, parents first; colons in a name replaced;
- ASCII only (IIF is ASCII text), dashes and quotes transliterated;
- the kit's 2007+ journal layout and M/D/YYYY dates; an entry using an
undeclared account is refused.
Bank CSV:
- the 4-column layout is money out then money in by position, which
matches Intuit's "Credit, Debit" and banks' "Debit, Credit" both (the
doc's "Expense, Income" labels were wrong, the parsing was not);
- a slash date's order comes from the file (a part over 12 settles it)
or the caller's new date_order, never a guess: Intuit recommends
dd/mm/yyyy, US banks write mm/dd/yyyy;
- fractions of a cent and double negatives ("(-5)") are refused; the
header is recognized on the first non-blank row.
Chart CSV: a blank code or name is refused with its row (found by the
new fuzz_import_csv target), and the core now refuses a blank account
code or name too (replay keeps older books).
MCP:
- books.import_chart_csv and books.import_bank_csv rehearse the whole
file on a copy of the ledger first: a bad row anywhere refuses the
file (before, a duplicate within the file, a parent after its child,
or a date in a closed period left earlier rows behind);
- bank rules: the longest matching pattern wins (they arrive in a map,
so "first match" changed from run to run).

From ASC 230 (via Deloitte DART and PwC Viewpoint), replacing two
formerly assumed behaviors:
- Financing and investing are gross (230-10-45-7): per account, cash in
and cash out are separate lines (contributions apart from
distributions, borrowing apart from repayment), netted only within
one entry. Lines come in code order, in before out.
- Investing includes making and collecting loans and buying investments
(230-10-20, 45-13), not only registered fixed assets:
CashFlowParams gains investing_accounts.
- The roles are per-company settings: [books] financing_accounts and
investing_accounts in wanderbooks.toml (beside cash_accounts). The MCP
tools (cash_flow, export, CPA package) default every list to them and
share one path; the viewer reads them too, falling back to its name
guess for debt. A due-to-owners liability listed as financing gives
PwC 6.9.3.1's constructive treatment of expenses an owner paid.
rules.md B-14 quotes the sources; new tests cite them; docs/testing.md

A crash or power loss mid-append can leave a partial last line. The
writer acknowledges an append only after its whole line is synced, so
that line was never acknowledged: opening now saves those bytes to
journal.jsonl.torn.<time>, truncates to the last newline, and journals
journal.tail_repaired (replay and projection ignore it; the GUI shows
it; books.digest reports it in journal_repairs). Damage before the last
newline is still corruption and still refuses to open. Tested at every
byte of the last append.
The MCP server now waits up to ten seconds for the writer lock: a
restarted server (a client reconnecting) raced the exiting one and died
with Locked, which also made mcp_schedules_and_recurring_over_stdio
flaky. The test harness now waits for each server to exit.

The refusal property now starts from real books and adds compound
commands with valid arguments (book an entry, register an asset or
schedule, raise an invoice or bill, close a month to members), so every
command's success path is exercised. Compound commands checkpoint after
each step, so the law is checked against the one command refused.
STORE_CASES sets the case count (256 by default).
It found two bugs:
- run_recurring created drafts dated inside a closed period (B-12).
generate_recurring now refuses them, atomically; the store leaves
them ungenerated and books.run_recurring reports them in
skipped_closed_period for a human to decide. Replay uses
replay_generate_recurring so older journals still open. The store
also journals before mutating the ledger here, as everywhere else.
- Disposing an asset for no proceeds (scrapping it) journaled a
catch-up depreciation entry and a half-built draft with a 0.00 line,
then refused. Zero lines are now left out (Store::disposal_lines,
shared with the MCP preview), and the whole disposal is rehearsed on
a clone before anything is written.

Stephen (2026-10-13): when what wanderbooks knows is stale, check the
date, research it or ask the owner or CPA, and update the rule for
everyone with a pull request (best) or an issue (worst).
- ledger_core::rules: a registry of rules set by law that change over
time. Each says the years it's known for, its rules.md entry, its
vendored official source, and a review date. stale_rules(today) is
pure; the engine has no clock.
- The 1099 threshold is the first: $600 through 2025, $2,000 in 2026,
then indexed for inflation (26 U.S.C. §6041(h)). default_threshold
and vendor_1099_report now return Result; for 2027+ they refuse with
LedgerError::RuleNotKnown, whose message says what to do: get the
figure from the official source or the owner/CPA, pass it explicitly,
then open a PR (or issue) at github.com/swaits/wanderbooks. Before,
2027+ silently used $2,000.
- MCP: books.vendor_1099 relays that refusal; books.digest gains
stale_rules; the server instructions tell the agent the procedure (and
how to handle control-account conflicts: explain, never renumber).
The CPA package writes a NOT-INCLUDED note instead of a guessed 1099
worksheet.
- Viewer: "Needs attention" shows each stale rule with a ready prompt
for the agent; the 1099 page explains instead of guessing.
Review date for the 1099 rule: 2026-11-01, when the IRS usually
publishes next year's inflation adjustments (CONVENTION, marked as such
in the registry).
Tests: an_unknown_year_threshold_is_never_guessed,
dated_rules_go_stale_on_their_review_date (dates passed in, so no clock
in the test), MCP stdio: 2027 refused with guidance, explicit threshold
accepted, digest carries stale_rules (asserted date-independently).

Every business has owners, and how owners put money in and take it out
depends on what the business is. wanderbooks now knows the four common
US shapes:
- books.chart_template {entity_type, owners}: a starter chart for a sole
proprietorship (owner's capital and draws), partnership or
multi-member LLC (capital and distributions per partner, guaranteed
payments), S corporation (stock, APIC, shareholder distributions,
officer compensation, retained earnings) or C corporation (dividends,
income tax expense), plus common income and expense accounts with
tax categories, and the wanderbooks.toml settings that go with it
(tax form, members with equal-share placeholders that sum to exactly
100, close target). A proposal for the agent to review with the human.
- Closing: CloseTo is now RetainedEarnings { sweep }, Account { into,
sweep } (a sole proprietor's capital) or Members([MemberClose { capital,
share, distributions }]). Sweeps zero owner-pay equity accounts into
their target at close: draws into owner's capital, dividends or
distributions into retained earnings, each partner's distributions
into their own capital. Validation (equity, distinct, shares sum to 1)
runs in the pre-close preview, before anything is journaled. The
journal records the target; journals with no target or the old
"retained_earnings" string still replay.
- Members' equity: a partner's distributions account is part of their
capital; its activity reports as distributions.
- Config: members' distribution_account; [books] close_into and
close_sweep for single-owner businesses (rejected alongside members).
The cash flow names members on their distribution accounts too.
Tests: a sole proprietor (net 2,000 and 500 of draws into capital: 6,500,
the cash); a corporation (dividends 300 into retained earnings: 600); a
partnership with distribution accounts (Bob 100 + 25 - 20 = 105, swept at
close, February begins there); bad sweep accounts; templates round-trip
through the chart parser, unique codes, equity per entity, every tax
category valid for the entity's return; stdio: template -> settings ->
import -> postings -> close with the exact closing lines.

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
account; book net 5,276.67 vs tax 5,483.33); overrides; category/account
/return validation; form parsing and derivation; CSV parsing; stdio:
filtered catalog, mapping, refusal, summary, all-or-nothing import.

The close zeroed every revenue and expense account's all-time movement,
so closing a period after later entries were posted swept those too:
close January in March and February's and March's income landed in
January's closing entry. The preview had the same bug and never showed
where the net went. Now:
- close_period_to(id, to) zeroes balances as of the period end; entries
dated later stay open for their own period. Periods must close in
order (LedgerError::CloseOutOfOrder): a later close has already swept
the earlier period.
- CloseTo::Members: for a partnership (multi-member LLC) the net goes to
each member's capital account by share, to the cent, the last member
absorbing rounding, which is what K-1 capital accounts track.
CloseTo::RetainedEarnings (3999) stays the default; close_period is
shorthand for it. books.close_period picks Members when
wanderbooks.toml lists members.
- The journal records the close target; replay re-derives the closing
entry and now compares every line with the journal, not just the id,
so a change to closing math can never silently rewrite history.
- The tool's preview is the real close run on a clone of the ledger
(Ledger now derives Clone), so preview and post can't disagree.
- Members' equity: closing entries into a capital account are income,
not contributions. Balance sheet for a partnership: capital accounts
(with allocated earnings), then only unallocated earnings —
"Undistributed earnings, prior years" if any, and this year's unclosed
net income (loss). periods::allocate is shared by the close and the
statement.
Tests: January closed after February is posted sweeps exactly Dr 4000
2,500 / Cr 6100 800 / Cr 3999 1,700 (mutation-checked: the old code gives
3,500/120/800/2,580); out-of-order close refused; a partnership close
splits 666.67 into 333.34/333.33 with no 3999, and the members' equity
statement reads correctly before and after; store replay of a members
close (reopen, rebuild, verify); partnership and corporate balance sheet
layouts; stdio close preview equals the posted lines.

Every report a CPA expects, laid out the way US small-business books
read (QuickBooks as the reference):
- Exports: books.export gains general_ledger (by account, running
balances, splits), general_journal (the entry-ordered listing, which
the CPA package used to mislabel "general ledger"; alias journal),
members_equity, and trial_balance as of a date, in xlsx/csv/json, and
PDF for all five statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, trial
balance, members' equity). books.trial_balance takes as_of.
- CPA package: every statement as PDF and XLSX, plus the general ledger
and general journal, all for the fiscal year to date.
- Layout (ledger-import::report): multi-column statements (Total;
Debit/Credit; one column per member plus Total), "$" on subtotals and
totals, a rule above every sum (none over an empty section), a double
rule under statement totals, zero as 0.00, negatives in parentheses
with the closing paren hanging so decimal points align.
- Terms: "Net income (loss)"; for a multi-member LLC, "Members' equity",
member contributions and distributions named in the cash flow, and the
balance sheet splitting retained earnings (the Retained Earnings
account plus earnings not yet closed from earlier years) from the
fiscal year's net income (loss); the cash flow's "Adjustments to
reconcile net income (loss) to net cash from operating activities" and
"Net increase (decrease) in cash".
- PDF: Inter replaces the typst-assets serif fonts (bundled, SIL OFL 1.1,
license in fonts/; from the official v4.1 release), centered title
block, column-header row, full-width rules, footer "Accrual basis ·
Prepared <date> · Journal seq N" with page numbers. Amounts on total
rows stay regular weight so bold figures can't leave the decimal
column. typst-assets dependency removed.
- XLSX: centered title block, header row, Excel accounting formats with
"$" attached on sums, general ledger and general journal workbooks.
- Config: wanderbooks.toml [[company.members]] (name, share "50%" or
"0.5", capital_account; shares must total 100%) and [books]
accounting_basis (accrual | cash).
- Core: RETAINED_EARNINGS_CODE names the "3999" that period close uses.
- Fix: "today" is local time, not UTC; in US evenings UTC is tomorrow,
so reports defaulting to "through today" included the next day and
footers carried the wrong date.
Tests: layout (currency and rule placement, retained earnings vs. this
year's net income for a member LLC, footer text); exact template data;
deterministic PDFs; config parsing (members, shares, basis); stdio:
trial balance as of, February general ledger (beginning 1,004.00, splits,
ending 1,003.50), members' equity (contributions 1,000.00, net income
3.50, ending 1,003.50), members' equity PDF, the CPA package's ten files.

money() printed whatever scale a Decimal happened to have, so an empty
sum came back as "0" while every other amount read "207.68". Amounts now
have at least two places ("0.00", "1000.00"), padded and never rounded:
an exact FX-converted amount with more places keeps them. Negative zero
normalizes to "0.00".
Test: money_always_has_cents_and_never_rounds; three stdio assertions
that pinned the old "0" now expect "0.00".

Zero warnings from `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets`, which is now
a hard rule rather than "clean except pre-existing":
- ChartOfAccounts::add takes the Account it registers instead of eight
loose parameters (too_many_arguments); Ledger::add_account builds it.
Same validation, same errors.
- close_period tool: collapse the nested if-let into a let chain.
- iif.rs docs: the IIF layout example shows tabs as `\t` instead of
literal tab characters (tabs_in_doc_comments).
- Tests: drop an unused binding; assert! instead of assert_eq! against a
literal bool.

The printpdf statements padded columns with spaces in a proportional font
(amounts didn't line up), had no company name, printed negatives as
"-207.68", and put everything on one page (a long statement was silently
cut off past ~70 lines). Now:
- PDFs are typeset by Typst from one template,
ledger-import/templates/statement.typ. The laid-out statement goes in as
JSON data (sys.inputs), so account names are never parsed as markup.
Fonts are bundled (typst-assets: Libertinus Serif), so output doesn't
depend on the machine and is byte-for-byte deterministic. Statements
paginate, with the company/title repeated on later pages and "Page n of
m" plus "Prepared from journal through seq N" in the footer.
- US accounting presentation, decided once in ledger-import::report and
applied by both PDF and XLSX: tabular figures; "$" on each section's
first amount and on every subtotal and total, pinned to the column's
left edge; negatives in parentheses with the closing paren hanging (its
width reserved on every row, so decimal points align); zero as a dash;
a single rule above sums (none over an empty section) and a double rule
under statement totals; amounts never bold, because bold figures are
wider and would leave the decimal column. XLSX uses Excel's own
Accounting formats for the same result.
- Cash flow: "Net change in cash" is a subtotal; only "Cash at end of
period" takes the double rule.
- Core fix: cash_flow walked the chart in HashMap order, so the order of
working-capital and financing lines could change between runs. Lines
now follow account code. Test: five owners, twenty runs, always
3000/3001/3003/3005/3009; fails without the sort.
New dependencies (ledger-import): typst, typst-layout, typst-pdf,
typst-assets (fonts), typst-as-lib (World/font plumbing), serde_json (the
template's data). Removed: printpdf. Release ledger-mcp grows by the
bundled fonts.
Tests: exact template data for a hand-built P&L (like a golden); same
statement renders to identical bytes; 200 rows of Typst markup
characters render literally and span several pages; currency-sign and
rule placement; amount splitting.

Every statement export rendered life-of-ledger totals under whatever date
range or as-of label was asked for, and the P&L and balance sheet XLSX
were totals-only. Now:
- books.profit_and_loss / books.balance_sheet and the csv, json, xlsx,
pdf exports and CPA package all use core's profit_and_loss_for_period
and balance_sheet_as_of, with a line per account. The tools keep their
totals and add revenue/expense/asset/liability/equity account lines.
An omitted start is the first posted entry, never "0001-01-01".
- ledger-import::report lays a statement out once (section, line,
subtotal, total) for every renderer, with one exact amount formatter:
thousands separators, negatives in parentheses, no floats. XLSX keeps
numeric cells with an accounting number format, named sheets, company
header, totals with borders; the trial balance gains its totals row.
- ledger-mcp reads wanderbooks.toml (next to --data-dir, or
--books-toml): company name for headers, fiscal_year_start for the CPA
package's fiscal year to date (end derived; Feb 29 rejected), and
[books] receipt_threshold, which the server had been ignoring.
config.json's receipt_policy still wins when set. New dependency: toml
1.x (already in the lockfile via another crate).
- Store::journal_seq(); every report notes the journal seq it reflects.
Tests: company.rs unit tests (fiscal years incl. a July start, scaffold
parsing, bad settings); report.rs formatting tests; an MCP stdio test with
--books-toml (threshold 5.00 enforced, February-only P&L with account
lines, start defaults to the first entry, as-of balance sheet).

The cash flow statement was computed and exportable as csv/json/xlsx but
missing from every PDF path, so the CPA package carried two of the three
financial statements. Now:
- ledger-import: cash_flow_pdf renders the indirect-method statement
(operating with net income, depreciation add-back, working-capital
lines; investing; financing; net change reconciled to beginning and
ending cash) from the computed CashFlowStatement, so the period and
cash accounts are the caller's.
- books.export gains format "pdf" for profit_and_loss, balance_sheet, and
cash_flow (base64, like xlsx), plus financing_accounts for cash_flow.
- books.export_cpa_package adds cash-flow.pdf (fiscal year to date, like
the P&L) and requires cash_accounts: without them the statement has
nothing to reconcile to.
- One cash_flow_statement helper resolves codes and dates for xlsx, pdf,
and the package.
Test: MCP stdio test exports all three statement PDFs, checks the
cash_accounts and bad-report refusals, and unzips the CPA package to find
all five files. Known report gaps are logged in plan/STATUS.md.

Posted entries stay immutable (R-3), but their evidence can now change the
same way the ledger does: by appending events, never by editing or
deleting. New R-13a.
- books.unlink_receipt {attachment_id, reason} journals receipt.unlinked
and leaves the receipt filed, unlinked. The receipt policy holds: an
entry that requires a receipt can't lose its last one (structured
receipt_required error), so a replacement is attach-new, then
unlink-old. Drafts and reversals are exempt, as at posting.
- books.withdraw_attachment {attachment_id, reason} journals
attachment.withdrawn for an unlinked receipt or a filed document: hidden
from list_receipts (unless include_withdrawn), never linkable again. The
blob stays in the store, hash-verified and readable.
- link_receipt now refuses an already-linked or withdrawn attachment.
Before, re-linking silently moved a receipt off a posted entry,
bypassing the policy; evidence now leaves an entry only through a
recorded unlink. dispose_asset checks its receipt ids before posting
instead of after.
- Schema v5 adds attachments.withdrawn_at/withdrawn_reason; existing
stores migrate on open and replay rebuilds the projection.
Tests: store test (errors, reopen, rebuild, verify, journal history) and
an MCP stdio test (policy refusal, replace flow, withdraw, listings,
under-threshold unlink). Dry-run and live use on the Wanderland Labs books:
8 migrated .eml attachments swapped for their PDF renders, trial balance
unchanged.
