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- reconciliations: refuse a withdrawn statement before journaling; new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.

Parties: one directory for vendors, contractors, customers, employees,
members, platforms, agencies, banks, landlords (ledger-core parties.rs).
W-9/W-4 facts without the number (last four only; any nine-digit run in a
party field is refused, Treas. Reg. 301.6109-4). Vendor and customer
records link to parties on replay; core tags every bill, invoice, payment,
and reversal with its counterparty. Journal events party.*,
entry.party_set; payroll lines name the employee party.
MCP: books.add_party, update_party, set_party_roles, set_w9, set_w4,
parties, party, set_entry_party; draft_entry party; run_payroll employee;
show party. Viewer: Parties directory and party pages, search, journal
text, W-9 attention, demo data.
One definition of a party's money (ledger_core::parties::activity) for
MCP and viewer. 1099 amounts count payments from cash and financing
accounts (a member paying for the company counts; a card doesn't; a
prepayment counts when made): vendor_1099_report_with, B-19.
Store: attachment links to any subject, statements, reconciliations
(schema v11), with replay and projection. ledger-vault: encrypted TIN and
W-9 records (ChaCha20-Poly1305, key file outside the books).
Spec-blind tests for parties (core, store, MCP, viewer) and attachments.
