MCP: short connect text, a handbook, tool annotations, safe local imports
- 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/WL-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).

config, mcp, gui: specs from sources, spec-blind suites, and the bugs they found
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
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).

cash flow: financing and investing gross; account roles are a setting
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
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 #8 is resolved.

core: no entry posts a fraction of a cent; verify compares whole ledgers
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
CI's run of the store refusal property found a payroll run that posted $65.27794: the employer tax was passed in unrounded and nothing refused it, though rules.md B-3 already says a ledger in one money holds no fractions of its smallest unit. Sums of it then differed in scale between journal replay and the SQLite read-back. - Ledger::post_entry refuses any line finer than its currency's ISO 4217 minor unit (FinerThanMinorUnit), whatever made the line: payroll, closes, disposals. add_line refuses it up front. Older journals replay as booked through replay_post_entry. Spec tests for the kernel's ten-place limit now run on the replay path. - The property's body is now run_ops, so failing sequences become named regression tests (regression_payroll_with_a_fraction_of_a_cent). The generator rounds payroll tax to the cent, as callers must. - Ledger derives PartialEq and gains differs_from; Store::verify compares the live ledger with the journal replay in full (drafts, documents, schedules, periods, settings), not just balances, and names the parts that differ. The property checks the ledger its commands built against that replay and against the reopened books.

test(core): every surviving mutant killed or argued equivalent
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Max-testing pass, step 8. The final mutation run left 112 survivors (89% caught). Three agents triaged them by file, by the playbook's table: spec the boundary then test it, a law rather than one more pinned value, assert the real value, never weaken a test. Every expected value is hand-computed. - reports.rs (35): 28 killed, chiefly cash flow (inclusive start date, each line's sign and label, a loss on disposal moving to investing, financing designation), general ledger and members' equity date boundaries, and the balanced() checks (a real report nudged by a cent must stop balancing). 7 equivalent: four >/>= after an early return on zero; two in dead code (removed in this commit); one sign of a zero cleaned on output. - ledger.rs, kernel.rs, journal.rs, money.rs (52, plus one new): 49 killed, including every replay_* mutant at the core level (ids, accumulation, status, vendor tags, out-of-order refusal), FX rates, 0%/100% deductible boundaries, a dividend sweep with no income, the legacy member rounding at close, a bill paid on its own date, a liability-account reconciliation, mixed-currency entries (via serde), ISO 4217 minor units, Display/Debug. 3 equivalent: zero refused before a </<= check; a period whose end is in a closed period refused earlier; columns(0). - schedules, tax, analysis, payouts, assets, form1099 (25): 23 killed (schedule length 1-600, recurring end on its start, frequency parsing and stepping, cost of goods in tax net, a zero payout, disposal on the purchase date, quarter starts, labels); 2 equivalent (zero adds zero; days_held is provably >= 1). Two small production cleanups the triage surfaced: kernel::columns(0) returned a negative-zero credit that would print "-0" (regression a_zero_movement_has_no_negative_zero_column, shown to fail before); and cash_flow computed a book value it never used. Spec lines added where a boundary wasn't specified (cash flow's inclusive start and line signs, members' equity start date, payout with no deposit, disposal on the purchase date, bill paid on its own date). `just mutants` now runs core and store tests (the store's replay tests), not the whole workspace, which rebuilt the viewer for every mutant.

test(core): spec-blind suites and a live GnuCash oracle; four fixes they found
Max-testing pass, steps 2-4. Spec-blind tests (rank 1-2): four agents, each given only the specs and the public interface (doc comments and signatures, every body removed, never src/ or the existing tests), wrote tests/spec_reports.rs (62), spec_ledger.rs (72), spec_arap.rs (42), spec_assets_payroll.rs (50): hand-computed examples per scenario and a proptest law per invariant (conservation, partition, invariance, scaling, reversal cancels, "a refusal leaves the books unchanged" over random invalid commands). They found: 1. A refused payroll run changed the books: an all-zero run passed validation, then failed at post after creating seven payroll accounts and using up an entry id. validate_payroll_lines now refuses a run with no gross pay. 2. A refused add_account used up an account id (empty code, duplicate, unknown parent). The id is now taken only when the account is added. 3. Stale prose: close_period_to and members_equity still described the old last-member rounding. 4. Open (left #[ignore]d pending Stephen): depreciation_schedule's doc says "through the month containing" the date; the code prorates that month by days. GnuCash oracle (rank 3, an oracle never the spec): `just oracle` builds GnuCash 5.10 in a container pinned by base digest and package versions (oracle/gnucash/) and runs tests/oracle_gnucash.rs: 200 seeded random books built through wanderbooks (entries, foreign lines, reversals, monthly closes), every account's balance at month ends and random dates and each month's P&L, compared exactly: 15,800 comparisons. First run: 4,724 differences, all from foreign lines; without them, zero. Adjudicated from principles (rules.md B-3): wanderbooks booked foreign * rate unrounded ($108.34567); a ledger in one money holds no fractions of its smallest unit, and its cash must match a bank. Stephen decided: book in the base currency's minor unit, half away from zero. add_line_fx now rounds; minor units per ISO 4217 list one (2026-09-17, SIX), generated into Currency::minor_units and recorded in docs/spec/sources/iso-4217.md. Replay now takes the journaled base amount (replay_add_line_fx), so lines booked before replay exactly as booked (contract: books_written_under_older_rules_still_open). Now: zero differences, foreign lines included. Tests: 449, from 223. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GWVo7x3UHw5kwCUaWxiejX |

fix(core,store): child accounts share their parent's type; periods nest; lines checked when added
Three spec decisions from Stephen (2026-10-13), each test-first:
- A child account has its parent's type (ParentTypeMismatch): a child
subdivides its parent. Test: a_child_account_has_its_parents_type.
- Periods nest (a month in a quarter in a year) but never partially
overlap (PeriodsOverlap; a refusal uses no id). Test:
periods_nest_but_never_partially_overlap.
- A line's account must exist and take postings when the line is added,
not only at post (UnknownAccount / PlaceholderAccount from add_line
and add_line_fx); posting still re-checks. Two older tests that pinned
the post-time refusal now check both (the post-time check is reached
through the unchecked replay path, as old journals can).
Compatibility: replay reads history through new Ledger::replay_*
commands (add_account, add_line, add_line_fx, create_period) that skip
checks added later, so books written before these rules still open.
The contract test books_written_under_older_rules_still_open writes such
a journal directly and found, on its first run, that the SQLite
cross-check rebuild used the checked commands and would have failed
verification ("sqlite projection can't be read back"); it now replays
too. Documented in docs/spec/README.md; decisions recorded in rules.md
(B-1, B-4, B-12).

fix(core,store): refuse control accounts of the wrong type, with a reason
Invoices, bills, payments, payroll, and closes post to accounts the engine finds by code (1200, 2000, 4000, 6999, 3999, 6100-2150). If an account with that code existed it was used whatever its type: a 1200 "Customer Deposits" liability would have taken receivables. Now (Stephen, 2026-10-13: never force an imported chart into our numbering) the engine refuses with ControlAccountMismatch, naming the code, the account, its type, the role, and the type needed, so the agent can work it out with the human. A placeholder is refused too. Every command checks all its control accounts before changing anything (Ledger::check_controls, spec + SOURCE in its doc comment), so a refusal never leaves a half-made account behind. One table of control accounts (ledger_core::RECEIVABLES ... PAYROLL) replaces the codes duplicated across the engine and the store. Tests (spec-derived, all assert the books are untouched after the refusal): an_invoice_refuses_a_1200_that_is_not_receivables, an_invoice_refuses_a_placeholder_1200, an_invoice_creates_nothing_when_its_second_account_is_wrong, a_bill_refuses_a_2000_that_is_not_payables, a_close_refuses_a_3999_that_is_not_equity.

fix(store,core): a refused command never reaches the journal; reversal rules
Max-testing pass, step 2 (rank 1 regressions + a rank 2 law). Two ways
to make the books unopenable, both found by test, both fixed:
1. Reversing into a closed period: the store journaled `entry.reversed`,
then the engine refused it at post. Replay could never apply that
line, so Store::open failed ("period 1 is closed"). Regression:
reversal_into_a_closed_period_is_refused_before_journaling.
2. An oversized invoice (or any command whose hand-written store
pre-checks lagged the engine, here the new line range) journaled,
then failed in the engine. Found by the new property
refused_commands_never_reach_the_journal within 4s.
The fix is structural, not another hand-written check: every
journal-first store command now rehearses on a scratch clone of the
ledger (`Store::rehearse`), so whatever the engine refuses is refused
before the journal, now and after any future engine change. The
create_entry rehearsal uses the checked constructor: no draft is ever
dated in a closed period (the Lean invariant Inv.draftsOpen, which the
store had bypassed).
The property (1,000 random command sequences, heavy on refusals)
asserts, after every command: a refusal leaves the journal
byte-identical; every posted entry validates; the trial balance
balances; no draft sits in a closed period; and the books reopen and
verify at the end. Shown to have teeth: removing the create_entry
rehearsal makes it fail and shrink to open-period, close, draft.
Engine (spec confirmed by Stephen, 2026-10-13), Ledger::check_reversal,
a pure pre-check that reverse_entry and the store share:
- an entry is reversed at most once (EntryAlreadyReversed); reversing
the reversal re-instates it;
- a closing entry is never reversed (ClosingEntryIrreversible);
- a refused reversal leaves no trace (it used to leave a draft and
burn an id).
Specs go in doc comments as a ```text GOAL/INVARIANTS/SCENARIOS block.
New dev dependency: proptest for ledger-store (already the workspace's
property library).

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 (Stephen). 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.

chore: clippy clean across the workspace, all targets
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.
