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.

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.
