A schedule-convention setting, the two new tax categories, a disposal
before the in-service date and a depreciation catch-up each need their
feature now (tax_categories_gain_exempt, disposal_before_service,
depreciation_catch_up), so no write before consent leaves books P2 refuses
or misreads; replayed names are read with P2's TIN detector (B-28). The
cutover runs end to end through the real P2 and P3 binaries in a test.

Schema 13 is as shipped and the asset columns are schema 14 (shipped
migrations pinned by hash); the tax-basis K-1 leaves net income open (only
the return has it) and takes a contributed prepaid plan at its book amount
as its section 723 basis; a disposal of contributed property names its
704(c) gain or loss; aliases compare by meaning; fixture amounts made up.

A distribution declared to a payable and then paid is financing when paid,
the declaration disclosed (ASC 230-10-45-15(a)); a disposal's depreciation
lines count as depreciation in the cash flow and the tax-basis K-1; an
as-of asset list says the status of that day. Seam tests tie the members'
statement, K-1, party totals, cash flow, 1099s, depreciation and the CPA
package together on three dates.

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.

Books an update could write a newer format for open on their old format
and are asked at every open; anything needing a new feature is refused
until the owner agrees with the passphrase, after a verified backup that
includes the keys. New books start on the current format. Each projection
schema has its own database file, so an older version still opens the
books until the owner agrees.

The final month takes what the months before leave, spread over its days;
a disposed asset stops on its disposal day. A skipped month is caught up
in the month the run is made; a reversed run un-posts its month. New

Each party's part of an entry is signed as its own account would show it,

original negated. Totals on a cash or all basis: for a member, all equals

cards and the financing accounts, and a liability credit never pays its

`wanderbooks books put-aside ID DATA-DIR [--vault DIR --vault-key FILE]
[PATH...]` moves the old copies of adopted books (their data folder, their
TIN vault and its key, their settings file, the git history around them,
old exports) whole into numbered folders of their own in the root's
legacy/, a list of where each came from written and synced first. Nothing
is deleted. Refused unless the books hold everything the old copy does,
byte for byte (journal, stored files, vault records, key; what adoption
left behind and records the books sealed anew are listed and go aside
too); while a wanderbooks process holds it open for writing; when its
head moved since the preview; for links, paths named twice, inside the
root or missing, a vault or key given as a plain path, and paths on
another disk. Renames never replace anything, and a move cut short puts
back what it moved. Three review rounds of data safety.
The plan records the cutover's answers (Q-3: move the old copies aside;
the backup repository and folder).
Also: `connect`'s "the books fernhill' agent token" reads properly, and
the restart tests wait for a copied program to be runnable (a child forked
by another test while the copy was written made it "text file busy").

Mutation testing pauses until P12 (D-33, owner 2026-10-20), which reruns
the whole max-testing pass over everything since P1. Before the pause,
pass 1 on slices 3-6 and its triage gave tests in ledger-store,
ledger-package and ledger-mcp, and three real bugs, fixed:
- the command line took an admin answer longer than four MiB, or cut off
before its newline, whenever the bytes that came still parsed;
- The CPA package put a twin's number on the last dot of the whole path,
so in a folder with a dot the second file landed in another folder;
- a document or category named of dots alone ("..") could climb out of
its folder when the CPA package is unpacked.
The plan gains P13, bookspec (D-34): a formal, sourced accounting
specification first (rules with symbolic forms and worked examples), then
its own formal validation and a conformance harness any engine can be
tested against, seeded by P3's regression tests. docs/testing.md records
slices 3-8 and what P12 must cover; plan/STATUS.md says where P2 stands.

Owner, 2026-10-19: hovering a scheme for a moment switches to it live;
moving off goes to the next one hovered or back to the one in force, to
sample schemes without re-opening the menu.
A variant's row rested on for 50 ms is worn; off every row for 50 ms,

Owner, 2026-10-19: full color-scheme support for the viewer, the top
Neovim-style schemes, about twenty families each with a flyout of all its
variants, a light/dark/all filter, Ayu included, alphabetical, a whole row
to click.
- The sidebar's corner button (the light/dark toggle before) opens the
menu: the filter, then, alphabetically and all on screen at once (in
columns in a short window), Ayu, Catppuccin, Cyberdream, Dracula,
Everforest, GitHub, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Material, Melange, Monokai Pro,
Night Owl, Nightfox, Nord, One Dark, Oxocarbon, Rosé Pine, Solarized,
Sonokai, Tokyo Night and Wanderbooks (the viewer's own Light and Dark):
80 schemes, each variant a row with a strip of its colors.
- Colors from each scheme's official source, checked value by value
(docs/color-schemes.md; the table names the sources).
- Every palette, the viewer's own included, keeps every text color
(figures, gains and losses, warnings, links, secondary and faint text)
at WCAG AA (4.5:1) on every ground it sits on, soft fills included; a
color that falls short keeps its hue and only changes lightness. Text,
secondary and faint text stay apart (each 1.2 times the next), gains,
losses and text and the charts' series shown together stay plainly
different (CIE76 ΔE 20).
- The scheme sets both egui styles and pins its mode, so the system
turning light or dark changes nothing (it made figures unreadable).
- Preferences now live in the platform's place for app settings
($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wanderbooks-viewer on Linux), not eframe's default,
which was $XDG_DATA_HOME/wanderbooks: the data root's own place. The
old file is moved once.
- Tests: every page of thirteen painted in all 80 schemes, the same words
in the same places, each text readable on what was painted under it;
the menu's order, reach and whole-row clicks in a tall and a short
window; the system flip; preferences restored. Two review rounds.

The first scheduled run (2026-10-19) failed four ways: the viewer's
mutation job called the recipe retired in P2 slice 1 (owner, 2026-10-18:
no mutation runs on the GUI); the core and MCP runs were stopped at
GitHub's six hours; the import run missed six mutants.
- Every mutation recipe takes a shard (k/n, default all of it); the
workflow runs the core in 8 shards, the store in 4, the importers in 2,
the MCP server in 16, each its own job with a 350-minute limit.
- Test timeouts are three times each run's own baseline, never under the
recipe's old fixed value, so slower runners don't report false
timeouts.
- The mutants-gui job is gone.
- ledger-import: rule_marks_match_their_notes,
asset_register_xlsx_headings_and_totals_rule and
xlsx_missing_amounts_are_cells_only_on_ruled_rows catch the six
(the tax-basis rule marks, a heading's alignment, the totals row's
blank cells, and a blank amount cell only on ruled rows), each checked
against its mutant by hand.

ledger_store::root: one private folder for every book, found without the
environment (--root, else the root setup recorded in a file only this
account can write, else the platform default under the home from the
password database). Every folder made 0700, files 0600; a root that is a
link, another user's, open to others, unmarked, or under a folder another
user could swap is refused; no error names it. Setup keeps a recorded
root, never makes a second root or moves books while one holds any, and
leaves a folder holding other things untouched. Books are created and
adopted one at a time; adoption reads the source under its writer lock
(changing nothing in it), copies into staging, re-hashes every stored
file against its name, checks every named file is there, opens and
verifies the copy with the source's head, imports settings for books
that keep none, syncs, and only then renames it into place.
wanderbooks setup makes the root and never prints where it is. Three

The server and the viewer are libraries with run(prog, args), returning
Exit(code) instead of ending the process; ledger-mcp and ledger-gui are
one-line shims (the live books keep using them until the cutover).
wanderbooks dispatches dev-stdio and gui to them in-process; a mode must
come first and owns its flags. The gui feature (default) leaves the
viewer out of the server-only build, which just server-only builds,
clippies, tests, and checks for window libraries. The viewer's mutation
recipe is retired (owner, 2026-10-18); its two musts are tested

The first company's P1 cutover found the K-1 worksheet printing a
member's share as typed: "50%" read from a settings file printed
0.50, the same share kept by the books as 0.5 printed 0.5. Shares now
print at least two places whatever their spelling.
Every company document now goes into the books (D-20, owner,
2026-10-17), and formation papers and plans print the company's EIN,
which the filing scan refused as a printed TIN. It now passes the
company's own EIN, as its settings hold it, printed 2-7, and nothing
else; a vault TIN is still refused (rules.md B-26). Its refusal no
longer suggests converting a file to get past it.

Settings, conventions (posting templates, approval rules, policies,
close steps, calendar, mappings, notes), decisions, open items and
entry approvals are journal events (journal format 2). Books that keep
their settings never read wanderbooks.toml or config.json; the server
and the viewer take the vault key from --vault-key-file instead.
books.import_settings moves a settings file in once, exactly as the
server reads it. Approval rules, when enforced, gate every posting
path. Replay refuses what it can't read as newer, never as corrupt.
Lean: a record changes no figure. Mutation on the whole diff: every
survivor killed by a test but two equivalent (docs/testing.md). The

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).

- The 13K-character instructions (clients cut them short) become a
connect text of at most 1,400 characters whose first 512 stand alone,
plus books.handbook and books://handbook/{section}: the old guidance by
section, with no helper commands, home paths, pull requests or
file-reading suggestions (tool_text_lint).
- Every tool has a title and read-only/destructive hints; no
requiresUserInteraction anywhere (owner decision 2026-10-16).
- books.import_local_file reads only regular files inside the import
roots (the downloads folder by default, or --import-root), never the
data dir, books dir, vault or the key's folder, no symlink escapes or
hard links, and the file opened must be the file checked.
- The store lock is a tokio mutex taken off the runtime threads.
- get_info refreshes settings first; a bare books://digest reads.
Review fixes (P0 review, 2026-10-16):
- Fail closed: a tokio mutex never poisons and spawn_blocking caught the
panic, so after a panic mid-mutation the server kept serving a Store
behind its journal. A panic (the task, or while holding the store)
now stops the shared store; every later request on every session is
refused with a plain message; a restart re-verifies the journal. The
join error goes through redact_refusal and never carries the panic's
text.
- books.set_w9 w9_file_path read any path (a link named w9.pdf to the
vault key was stored and get_w9 wrote it out): it now goes through the
import roots' lockdown, its type judged on the canonical path.
- Sealed even inside a root: the key file in force, where a linked one
leads, both folders, and the default key folder whatever the settings
say. Refusals check the roots first, so outside them every path gets
one message (no probing what exists); inside, other books-dir files say
to copy them out first.
- The open is O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK (a pipe swapped in after the check
can't hang a thread) and must match the checked file's device and
inode. New dependency: libc (unix only), for those two open flags,
which std doesn't name.
- Default import roots are the downloads folder only (the plan); files
with full TINs (get_w9, vendor_1099 include_tins, the CPA package with
TINs) are never written into an import root, and the server refuses to
import any file it wrote with TINs (by SHA-256).
- set_tin and set_w9 overwrite vault records: destructive_hint = true;
annotations_complete pins the key tools' hints. The read-only hint is
checked in behaviour on every spec_mcp call (journal and data-dir files
unchanged).
- Text: the connect text names the settings file as the one local file
to edit, says every entry balances on real accounts and names its
party, says invoice/bill/payment/payroll tools post unchecked, rewords
the exemptions, and shows the company name as one plain line; the
handbook takes section "all", lists its ids in the schema and says to
read contract first; books.settings drops the config.json path and no
error names the data dir or the key file. tool_text_lint covers the
whole tool JSON and resources and bans git/commit/FL-0001; tool
descriptions over 700 characters are pinned to today's eight (P5).
- digest: an empty since= is bare; the default date is pinned on every
day of a month.
Round-2 review fixes (2026-10-16):
- TIN files (B-26): the in-memory, per-session set of TIN-file hashes
became one registry beside the vault (vault/tin-files.sha256, hashes
only), shared by every session and every later server. It holds the
W-9 set_w9 reads (recorded as read), get_w9 copies, 1099 worksheets
with TINs, CPA packages with TINs and each file in one that holds a
TIN; a file is recorded before it is written, and a failure refuses.
import_local_file, attach_receipt and file_document (base64 was never
checked) refuse a recorded file, and a text file (by type, name, or
UTF-8/UTF-16 decoding) holding a full TIN. Not caught: an altered
binary copy; the docs say so (P2/P7 remove the path tools).
- The text check is narrow (owner/engineer decision, 2026-10-16: bank
exports are filed for reconciliation, and has_full_tin's "nine digits
however separated" refused their routing numbers, long references and
dates run into amounts). Text is refused when it holds (a) a TIN the
vault holds for a party, anywhere, as nine digits, 3-2-4 joined by
hyphens, spaces or dots, or 2-7 joined by a hyphen or space, compared
on the server against the decrypted vault and never returned or
logged (a vault that can't be opened leaves (b)); or (b) a stand-alone
printed SSN (123-45-6789) or EIN (12-3456789) shape: no digit, and no
hyphen or dot followed by a digit, beside it. Full-width digits and
Unicode hyphens and spaces read as ASCII. has_full_tin still guards
refusals and results (redact_refusal). Known limit, for P7: a refusal
under (a) tells the agent a text it chose holds a vault TIN.
New dependency: zeroize in ledger-mcp (already in the workspace
through ledger-vault, same major version), so the vault's TINs decoded
for the scan are wiped from memory on drop as the vault's own are.
- Mutation testing of the final P0 diff (docs/testing.md): tests for
each law a survivor broke (handbook titles, a dropped default root, a
.jpg W-9, the waker, the walk's folder flags against a link and a
pipe, the 40-link limit, save paths refused as such, the package
marking only its TIN files, a registry that can't be read, text types,
the short receipt rule's counts and a 12-character code). Simpler
code where only a race could tell: inspect places an existing path by
canonicalize itself (no second comparison), read_checked's read limit
is its one size check, openat fails on -1 as specified. The 25 MiB
upload test removes its 50 MB of books however it ends.
- The GUI's stale-rule prompt no longer says to open a pull request: it
asks the agent to find the figure from the rule's official authority,
confirm it with the human, pass it explicitly, and tell the human so it
can be reported upstream (as the handbook says); a lib test pins it and
bans files, git, GitHub and pull requests from every attention prompt.
- Import roots (local_files.rs INVARIANT 0): XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
made $HOME (or /) the root. No root may be /, the home folder or hold
it, or hold the books, data dir, vault or a key: a named one stops the
server at startup, a default one is dropped; the default falls back to
~/Downloads only if that is a real folder other than $HOME; with no
root, an import says so.
- The read is a component walk from / with openat(O_NOFOLLOW |
O_DIRECTORY) per folder and O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK for the file, so a
folder swapped for a link after the check fails; no step may land on a
protected inode (one renamed into a root); dev/ino and nlink stay. No
/proc. Portable to macOS. (libc's openat, two small unsafe blocks.)
- One refusal for missing, dangling and outside paths: resolved()
follows every link, dangling ones too, so a link's target existing or
not no longer changes the answer.
- Sealing: the key files (in force, default) and their targets always;
their folders only when not $HOME, not a root, not holding a root; and
~/.config/wanderbooks whatever XDG_CONFIG_HOME says.
- Agent text (I-12): RuleNotKnown names the authority (IRS, with its
address) and says to tell the human, never a repo path, PR or GitHub;
the digest's stale_rules drop the repo catalog and path for it; vault,
outside-books, STOPPED and local-file refusals name no git, path or
flag. tool_text_lint bans docs/, .md, /home, data dir, --data-dir,
--import-root, vault.key, .jsonl, sqlite, .gitignore, github, pull
request, and also lints every error template (scanned from source),
built error texts, and the server's refusal constants.
- The receipt rule told (ReceiptPolicy::rule) is the one enforced: the
exact threshold in the base currency (no "$", no rounding), required
and exempt accounts, reversals exempt; the connect text fits 1,400
characters by dropping reasons, then codes, never the rule.
- The connect text follows the parties setting; "offer books.digest"
everywhere. shown_name drops Unicode format characters (bidi, zero
width).
- read_only_tools_change_nothing compares file contents, the database
by every row, the vault and the settings file (raw database bytes did
not change either; rows are the stable comparison).
- import_local_file takes the name and type from the canonical path;
the digest's journal repair says when the tail was set aside, not the
journal's file name; "version-history messages" back in the TIN rule;
openWorldHint false on every tool, pinned in annotations_complete.
- Outside the MCP crate, for the same texts: ledger-core's DatedRule
gains `authority` (the statute or publication with its address) and
RuleNotKnown carries it; ledger-store's "sqlite error" reads "database
error"; ledger-config's ReceiptPolicy::rule takes the base currency.
New dev-dependency: rusqlite in ledger-mcp (already in the workspace,
same version and features as ledger-store), to read the database's
rows in read_only_tools_change_nothing.
- The filing scan is no TIN oracle (tin_files.rs INVARIANT 4): text
holding more than two TIN-shaped numbers (any rendering rule (a)
reads) that end in a known TIN's last four (the books' TIN and W-9
facts, via known_tin_last4, before the vault is opened; then the
vault's own) is refused with TIN_PROBE, the same words whether or not
one is the vault's TIN; only one or two candidates are compared
against the vault. Tests: unit
text_probing_for_a_tin_is_refused_alike_whether_or_not_it_holds_it,
one_or_two_candidates_are_compared_against_the_vault; over HTTP
text_probing_for_a_tin_is_refused_alike_by_every_filing_tool.
Plan: plan/served.md P0, section 6 "Immediate hole (P0)", 4.1, 4.3, 4.9.
Review round 3. S1: a panic stops the server for every session, so no
input may reach one. Dates are four-digit years (new ledger_core::
calendar, 0001-01-01..9999-12-31): the MCP's parse_date is strict
YYYY-MM-DD, periods are bounded, last_day_of_month returns a refusal
(server and store); schedules, assets, recurring entries, periods,
documents, disposals and entries refuse dates outside the calendar, and
replay refuses such journal dates. Every amount a command takes is at
most a line's (draft lines by size, document lines, payouts, payroll,
statements, shares, tax basis, proceeds, recurring templates), on
replay too, so sums are exact; the 1099 vendor part and the K-1
property share use checked products (TooLargeToCompute); a recurring
run makes at most 1,000 drafts. tests/hostile_args.rs drives every tool
with schema-derived hostile arguments and every resource with generated
URIs, asserting the server never stops; the audit's panics are pinned.
S2: a `.` or `..` path name is refused as NO_SUCH_FILE up front. S3:
NUL-interleaved UTF-16 without a byte-order mark is scanned both ways.
S4: resource-read refusals are TIN-redacted. S5: set_w9 records its W-9
only once the call passes every check, just before the vault write.
S8: idempotentHint only on verify, run_depreciation, run_schedules,
run_recurring, set_party_roles (a repeat leaves journal and vault
alone; spec_vault checks every candidate twice); every tool's hints
pinned in one table. C1: books.settings lists receipt_required_accounts
and receipt_exempt_accounts uncut. C2: the default company name reads
"a new company". C3: the parties rule names no-party reasons. C4/C5:
the handbook names the settings file only as books.settings' books_toml,
and restores "check books.digest and offer it". C6: an import root
inside the books, data dir or vault is refused at startup. The lint
catches `just` however it ends and where the books are;
digest_resource_bare_reads reads the server's month.
Review round 4 (2026-10-17): round 3's bounds ran in replay too, so
journals main wrote and reopened (an entry dated 0000-06-01 or
+10000-01-01, a draft line of 2e15, an asset ending past 9999, a basis
or share past the line limit, sub-cent document and payroll lines) no
longer opened. Posted is forever: the bounds are the commands' only.
- Replay applies main's rule exactly: parse_date takes any date chrono
reads; replay_add_line(_fx) has no size bound (add_line/add_line_fx
do); replay_register_asset/correct_asset (chrono overflow only),
replay_set_asset_tax_basis (check_journaled), replay_set_entry_parties
(check_shares_journaled), replay_register_recurring
(validate_recurring_journaled), replay_register_schedule (months 1 to
600), replay_create_period (order only), replay_dispose_asset, and no
line, date, payment or payroll range checks in replay_invoice/bill,
their payments and replay_payroll_run.
- Derived figures over such books refuse (TooLargeToCompute,
DateOutOfRange), never panic: amortization plans, depreciation into
chrono's last month (and the true-up for lives past 9999), intervals,
document totals and aging, net pay and payroll plans, money flows and
share resolution, the asset register, receipt-policy debits; the MCP
tools and the viewer show what can't be computed.
- tests/fixtures/old-books: the review's 13 journals, its control and 15
more edges, written by main's Store API with main's figures
(expected.json); every one opens in the writer and the viewer to those
figures, every derived figure computes or refuses, every MCP tool and
GUI page answers; hostile_args restarts the server after each
property; each bound has a command/replay test pair.
Final review: a schedule's plan refuses a total of 10^26 or more
(TooLargeToCompute) instead of letting Decimal round its cents silently,
and a null `remaining` in the schedule output is always explained by
plan_error. Replay is unaffected: no journaled schedule month can belong
to a total that large (the line limit bounds every posted month).

An unknown event type on a whole, chained line, or a journal.format_set
declaring a newer journal format, now raises StoreError::NewerJournal
(update wanderbooks) instead of JournalCorrupt. Corruption (bad hash,
seq, or JSON) is still corruption. The gate runs in the store, the
Snapshot and the GUI, after each line's parse, seq and hash checks, and
never skips a line it can't read. Adds the journal.format_set event
(format 1 today; nothing writes it yet) and a registry of every event
type this version reads, tested against the replay and projection arms.
Review fixes (P0 review, 2026-10-16):
- A line's own hash is checked only by the next line's prev, and the
gate used to refuse a line before reading the next: a flipped bit in a
middle line's type (or a format_set edited from 1 to 2) was reported
as "newer, the books are not damaged". Now the reader settles every
refusal against the next line (format::settle): a next line that
doesn't chain makes it corrupt; one that chains makes it newer and
verified; with no next line the message says "newer or damaged; update,
then run verify", never "not damaged" (NewerJournal.verified).
- A newer format number is judged newer before its features are parsed:
a newer format may shape them differently.
- Snapshot treats a blank complete line as corrupt, as the writer does.
- docs/spec/rules.md B-27, which the code cites, now exists.
Round-2 review fixes (2026-10-16):
- The envelope {seq, ts, type, payload, prev} and its hash (SHA-256 of
the canonical JSON) are frozen across formats (rules.md B-27); new
fields go in payload. settle reads only the next line's prev, leniently,
so a newer format's next line (a float, a string seq, keys of its own)
is never called corrupt: no readable prev means unverified newer.
- A key beside the envelope's was silently dropped (and the chain then
broke as "corrupt"): it is now NewerJournal, hashed over the raw
canonical JSON so the next line still checks it; JournalLine::parse
refuses such a line.
- "the books are not damaged" overclaimed: a verified refusal says line N
is intact and this version can't check the lines after it.
- The writer read the journal with BufRead::lines (invalid UTF-8 was an
I/O error); it now splits bytes on newlines as the Snapshot does, so a
non-UTF-8 line is JournalCorrupt in both.
- Store::open truncated a torn tail before the gate ran, altering newer
books (perhaps mid-append) before refusing them. The gate now runs over
the complete lines first; the tail is set aside (and journaled) only
when they pass.
- Mutation testing (docs/testing.md, P0): the viewer and the writer say
the same words about the same damaged line (the newline is no part of
it); read_journal_and_format returns every line and the format in
force; the journal page tells a format declaration.
Plan: plan/served.md P0 and 5.1.
Review round 3 (S6, S7). Store::open replays every complete line in
memory (the first line's currency, then the ledger) before a cut-off
last line is set aside, so a complete line the books can't apply
refuses the open with the journal byte for byte as it was and nothing
set aside (B-27 SCENARIO 3; test
a_bad_complete_line_before_a_torn_tail_leaves_the_journal_as_it_was);
catch_up now only projects. The viewer
applies the writer's first-line rule (created_currency, shared) instead
of guessing USD: any other first line, or a store.created without a
sound base_currency, is corrupt to both (test
the_first_line_is_store_created_for_the_viewer_and_the_writer). fuzz_store_replay varies the
first line (14,696 runs clean).

mise.toml: pin cargo-mutants 27.1.0 and cargo-fuzz 0.13.2 (the latest
published, and what is installed) instead of "latest", so mutation and
fuzz runs repeat (plan/served.md I-13, P0).
docs/mcp-interface.md: the spec had two Transports sections, and the
first claimed bearer-token auth on Streamable HTTP. There is none: the
server uses rmcp's default config, whose only guard is a Host check for
localhost, 127.0.0.1 and ::1, with no token and no Origin check. One
section now says so plainly and points to plan/served.md P2 for auth.
ledger-cli AGENTS.md template: "the journal is the evidence - read it,
don't guess" led an agent to cat the journal file instead of asking the
books. The template now says to trace a figure through books.get_entry,
books.search_entries, or books.export (journal or general_ledger), and a
new bullet says the books are reached only through the wanderbooks MCP
tools: never open, list or parse the books' files, not even to look; if
a tool can't answer, say so. The other lines that sent the agent to the
data dir go too: onboarding is triggered by an empty books.chart instead
of a missing journal.jsonl, the CPA paragraph drops the ledger-gui
--data-dir books-data command, and the backup note no longer names the
journal's path. Test agents_md_reaches_the_books_only_through_tools
pins this; agents_md_carries_the_contract no longer expects journal.jsonl.

The party page's "TIN on file" and the W-9 card's TIN copy the full,
formatted number on click (right-click: digits only). The viewer reads
it from the vault only at that moment, with the server's key file in
force, never creates a key, refuses a key inside the books dir, and
never draws more than the last four. A locked vault copies nothing and
says why.

An independent recompute of the real books found no numeric
disagreements; review found 15 defects, all fixed with spec-first
regression tests:
- k1: a prepaid credited straight to capital is property; a member
paying a vendor through 2100 is cash. Docs and B-13 match.
- parties: a reversal of a reversal counts on its root's side;
liability-to-liability payments (member pays the card) count as paid.
- viewer: party money uses the server's cash accounts and full calendar
year; per-party "What for" scales multi-party entries.
- reconciliations: refuse a withdrawn statement before journaling; new
books.void_statement; reconciled lines can't be un-cleared; one shared
reconcilable-accounts rule for digest and viewer.
- CPA package includes receipts linked to entries; a file can't be both
filed on and linked to one entry.
- parties = "require" covers payroll, tax remittance (agency) and
disposal (buyer); no-party marks follow reversal chains and clear when
a vendor is tagged.
- derived member shares are frozen to exact amounts when posted, so a
settings change never re-splits history.

Entries may name several parties, each with an exact amount, a percent,
or a share derived from the members' capital lines or [[company.members]]
shares (entry.parties_set); shares always sum exactly. The 1099
worksheet counts a vendor's share. A member's party page is their
partner capital statement, from the same ledger_core::k1 source as the
CPA package.
books.set_tin stores any party's TIN (members' SSNs for K-1s) in the
vault (party.tin_set, last four in the books). The CPA package carries a
K-1 member worksheet (k1-members.csv, with a members' total that ties to
Schedule L) and the 1099 worksheet with full TINs, saved outside the
books only. files_jointly_with notes spouses' two K-1s land on one 1040.
Adversarial review fixes: reversed contributions no longer inflate K-1
contributions and distributions; a K-1 row never takes another party's
TIN; TIN detection covers dot/slash/dash separators; refusals redact
TINs; vendor tagging can't silently replace shared parties; reversals
follow re-apportioning.

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.

that still name the old code. The server instructions now warn that the

code (a hosting expense at payroll's 6100).

ledger's footer now sits one empty row down like the other sheets.
Also killed: IIF transliteration arms, tax summary's optional sections,
and day-equals-month bank dates. `just mutants-import`, weekly in CI.

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).

Final store mutation run: 357 caught + 1 timeout of 365 viable (from 82%
this morning). Three of its seven survivors now have tests:
- replay refuses a re-chained journal whose schedule posting differs
from what it re-derives (check_replayed_entry guards that event);
- a disposal refused for an account's type says the type it needed;
- a database whose last pages are damaged while its settings still read
fails the integrity check and is rebuilt (verified to fail with the
check disabled: "database disk image is malformed").
The four left are equivalent: sort_value's two arms, OpenFlags | vs ^,
and writing the long form of a sweepless retained-earnings close.
