The books can live on a machine of the owner's own (plan 3.8, 8.2 P9a,
D-51). Three things make that honest instead of nominal:
- `--isolation same_user|enforced` sets `server::Isolation`, carried
through `Served` and `BooksServer` to `books.start`. Locally the books
stay `same_user (advisory)`; under the self-host unit the server is told
`enforced` and reports `service_user (enforced)`. The server never
guesses, and the literal it used to report is gone.
- `--http [ADDR]` binds the same MCP router on loopback (default
127.0.0.1:7411) beside the Unix sockets, before the ready line, for the
TLS proxy or tunnel in front of the server. It is the same bearer door
and the same graceful close; a failed bind is reported and is not fatal
(3.9). `serve` carries both flags through the host, so the system unit
can ask for them once.
`deploy/wanderbooks-server.service` is the unit: a dedicated account, a
0700 data root, `ProtectSystem=strict`, no seccomp or Landlock (D-32), and
loopback-only networking. `deploy/README.md` is the recipe: install, setup,
move the books by `books adopt` with its head check (D-31: a copied book
is the transport), mint a bearer token, put Caddy or Tailscale Funnel in
front of the loopback door, and point Claude Code and Codex at it.
The two-account CI job (`.github/workflows/two-user.yml`) makes the
deployment and runs `crates/ledger-cli/tests/two_user.rs` as another
account: `agent_uid_cannot_read_tenant` proves the tenant root and its
journal are refused, then reads, writes, uploads, files, exports and
verifies over HTTP with the bearer (in a second book, so the moved books'
head is not advanced); `self_host_adopt_same_head` compares the moved
books' head and event count with the source clone's.
`isolation_label_is_enforced_under_the_unit` runs everywhere, including
the unit-file read that keeps the recipe from drifting.
Accounting reason for the shape: nothing here changes an entry, a report
or a figure. It changes who can reach them: the move is lossless and
verifiable at the head, and the boundary is the operating system's, not a
promise in our text. No journal code, kernel function, Kani harness or
Lean step is touched, so `just prove` is not required.
No go-ahead needed: no new journal feature or event; the live books are
unaffected.
books.start passed Integrity::default() to the attention engine, so it
asserted "database matches, no file failures". On a book whose database
differs from the journal, or whose stored file is missing or corrupt, the
viewer showed the database/stored-files items and the server did not: the
two lists diverged exactly where they matter most.
Call find, which computes the check: every distinct stored blob is read
and hash-checked once (a damaged blob is still reported per attachment
filed from it), and Store::disk_check now makes the viewer's comparison
through a snapshot of its data directory instead of reporting a match.
The parity test now damages its own fixture (removes the receipt's blob,
then changes a projected account row) and asserts both lists still agree
item for item and both name the damage. On the demo books (138
attachments, 138 distinct blobs, debug build) books.start takes about
0.26 s warm, 0.29 s cold, so the real check costs no decision.
Needs attention was computed by the viewer alone, while books.start
hand-picked a handful of next steps. The human's list and the agent's
could disagree, and a new item had to be written twice (or, as
books.start showed, not at all).
Move the engine to ledger-package over PackageBooks: one function,
find/find_with(books, today, settings, integrity), reads the ledger, the
journal's event types (an entry's origin), the attachments and their
links, the statements, the reconciliations, and the database check. The
viewer's attention module now only maps Target to Route; books.start
turns the same items into its next steps (why = the item's title, top 12),
so the list the human sees and the steps the agent gets cannot drift.
PackageBooks gains settings, journal, statements, reconciliations and
disk_check, implemented for Store and Snapshot, so both views answer
alike. The W-9, reconciliation and 1099 predicates move beside the items
to keep one copy. ledger-package gains ledger-config and serde_json (the
receipt policy and the tool arguments the items carry).
Tests: view_model.rs and spec_kept.rs pass unchanged; the new
attention_parity.rs compares the viewer and books.start item for item on
the demo books and on a book written entry by entry. just check green.
The layout paragraph the unit asks for: server.rs as the server, the
router and the request machinery; one tools/<group>.rs per tool group
with its router; tools/helpers.rs for the helpers several groups share;
server_tests.rs for the tests that span the surface and each group's own
tests in its file. plan/served.md's U0a "As built" block records the
split, the two departures (settings_tools as the module name, the test
bodies beside server.rs) and the stale 118-tool count (the surface is
122, identical to main's).
Documents could name only one revenue or general-expenses account per
project, had no number of their own, and took a due date the caller had
to work out. This slice gives the core the pieces the rest of S4 needs,
and journals nothing: an old-shape document still writes byte for byte,
so the owner's books need no upgrade for it.
- Payment terms (B-39): Net n, Net n EOM, due on receipt and a custom
date, with the early-payment discount and its exact bound
(kernel::discount_max, Kani + bridge). A due date past the calendar's
end is refused, never a panic, and a discount is refused with terms
that have no net days.
- Invoice numbers (B-40, A-2): first_number plus the count of numbered
invoices, zero-padded to four digits and wider past 9,999, stored at
issue, kept by a void; legacy invoices are uncounted.
- Line accounts (A-10): a document line may name its account, and the
entry posts one line per (account, project) part. An invoice line takes
revenue or a liability holding no role (deferred revenue); a bill line
an expense or a non-cash asset holding no role. Roles, cash accounts
and headers are refused.
- A line's amount is exactly its quantity times its unit price
(kernel::line_amount, Kani + bridge): both or neither, never rounded.
- A vendor's invoice number names one standing bill per vendor, with
case, spaces and hyphens ignored, unless a duplicate reason says why
(B-40).
- The record fields S4.3 will journal: number, terms, bill-to and seller
snapshots, customer reference, memo, the empty sends list S5 fills, and
the bill's received_on, all optional and defaulted.
The store refuses a line carrying an account, quantity or unit price
before it rehearses or journals anything: those fields are journaled from
S4.3's documents_v2 on, and I-3 will not let a public write replay
without them. `document_line_fields_wait_for_documents_v2` proves the
refusal, the unchanged journal and allocators, and that an ordinary line
journals exactly as before. S4.3 removes this guard in the same change
that journals the fields and adds its byte-for-byte test.
The document commands keep their signatures; create_invoice_with and
create_bill_with take the optional fields for S4.3 and for tests. They
are the existing issue commands with more fields, not a new state
transition, so no Lean Step is added. Kani: line_amount_is_exact runs in
`just prove`; discount_max_is_bounded relates a product to a quotient and
runs in `prove-slow` (163 s), as the proration charge harnesses do.
just check green; just prove green.
Every rule of `docs/spec/rules.md` now has one bookspec identifier,
`BS-<area>-<n>`: eleven areas (entry, ledger, statement, period, partner,
asset, prepaid, arap, revenue, 1099, format), numbered in B-rule order
within its area. The table is `bookspec/spec/rules-index.md`, and each
stated rule carries its id under its heading in `docs/spec/rules.md`, so
a reader of either can find the other.
rules.md's DECISION status becomes bookspec's CHOICE: the specification
names the options and an engine declares its pick (`Claims::with_choice`),
which is what an example already meant by `status = "CHOICE"`. B-39 to
B-45 are allocated in `plan/served.md` 8.0.3 and not yet stated: they
carry an id and an area and no status, so a later unit fills them in
without moving anyone else's number.
The catalogue names the examples that demonstrate each rule (56 files,
each under at least one rule) and the rule each refusal reason belongs
to. A rule with no example cannot be claimed: a claim needs evidence.
`docs/architecture.md`, `docs/testing.md` (tests and the For-P12
mutation targets) and `docs/parity.md` record the new shape; the
bookspec README points at the checker, the runner and the adapter.
rules.md B-26 now says what the scanner reads: a comma or a parenthesis
between a TIN's 3-2-4 or 2-7 groups, and any run of spaces counting
once, while an amount's comma-grouped thousands stay an amount. The
filing scan's (a) and (b) renderings gain commas. docs/testing.md gains
the P7 section and the For-P12 mutation targets (D-33), and plan/
served.md's P7 As-built block records the three departures.
Checking the section against the handlers found four things to say
differently. A row's status is the DocStatus key, which is a different
list from the filter words (overdue and all filter; partial and
unattached only report); the timeline is bounded by as_of; the answer
carries pdf? when it is asked for; and the party filter matches a
customer's or vendor's name, not the customer or vendor id the old text
promised. The section head now says S4 changes the two
document-creating tools, so a reader of today's surface is not
surprised when numbers and terms arrive.
The 8.0.4 bar asks every unit to record what P12 must mutate (D-33), and
P4b S1 part A has its paragraph while part B, S2 and S3 shipped without
one. S1-B's targets are the payment details (a reference is one line of
at most 200 characters, carried in the entry's description; the
instrument is tagged in the same call) and the two handlers that put
B-38 on the wire (void, control check). S2's are the status filters and
the timeline labels that make a reversed payment read as reversed
instead of disappearing. S3's are the stamp arms and the re-created-copy
branch, where an invoice that has no kept copy says so.
The S2 section records what shipped against the plan's As-built words:
the timeline labels reversed items ("Payment reversed", "Payment
(reversed later)"); the viewer draws no strikethrough.
ledger-import invoice_pdf (templates/invoice.typ): seller, bill-to,
number, dates, terms, lines, total, each settled line and the balance
due; money formatted in Rust (the template does no arithmetic), text as
data, deterministic bytes. Stamps as a rubber stamp would mark it, in
red: PAID (with the day it was paid in full: the invoice is then the
customer's receipt), PARTIALLY PAID, PAST DUE, VOID; DRAFT in gray for
S4's preview. ledger-package invoice_document builds it from the books
as of a day: the derived figures (B-38), each payment that stands on its
own line with its date, payment method and reference; re-created copies
say so (the issued copy is kept from S4 on and never changes).
books.document pdf hands it over as a download; the viewer's invoice
page saves or opens it. The owner asked for the paid stamp with the
payment's date and details (2026-10-24).

books.documents lists invoices or bills, due date first, with what each
still owes and its status, all derived from its ledger lines that stand
(B-38): status open (default), overdue, paid, void, written_off,
overpaid or all; party and due_by narrow it (what to pay this week).
books.document shows one (ref invoice:N or bill:N) as of a day: lines
with projects, total, paid, discounted, written off, outstanding,
status, days overdue, and its timeline of every tagged ledger line, each
saying whether its entry still stands. The over-the-wire test
documents_list_and_timeline_over_the_wire covers a reversed payment;
the happy-path journey covers both output schemas.

books.void_document voids an invoice or bill that should never have
existed by reversing its own entry with the reason (refused while a
payment stands on it, naming that payment). books.control_check ties
receivables and payables to their documents (B-23, B-38 INVARIANT 1):
balance, documents' total, lines that are no document's, the documents
needing attention; books.verify checks the identity and books.digest
lists its problems (control_problems). books.receive_payment and
books.pay_bill take instrument (tagged in the same call) and reference
(in the description), and answer the document's derived remaining and
status. The books record payments; they never collect or make them
(D-45). Docs, handbook and STATUS; the over-the-wire test
documents_void_and_tie_out_over_the_wire; the happy-path journey covers
both tools' output schemas. The processor fee waits for S6.

The owner (2026-10-23, via the question tool): "Uploads only"; and
before it: "What we would DEFINITELY want to avoid is passing a bunch
of BLOBs through AI context windows. That's just a pure waste." No file
passes through an agent's context, in either direction.
In: the inline arguments are gone with the 256 KiB limit (INLINE_MAX,
take_file's inline branch): content_base64 and its sha256 on
books.attach_receipt and books.file_document, w9_content_base64 and
w9_sha256 on books.set_w9, csv_text on the two CSV imports. A file comes
only by books.begin_upload and `wanderbooks upload`, named by its
upload_id; existing_attachment_id still names bytes stored already. The
five filing tools deny unknown fields, and any inline argument to any
tool is refused before it runs as an unknown argument pointing to
books.begin_upload (access log: refused inline_file).
Out: books.export (every format), books.asset_labels and
books.get_receipt view bytes hand the file over (HandedFile: download
command and expiry, D-29), as the CPA package and the W-9 do. Resource
reads stay text. A token keeps up to 64 handed files (was 16). The
access log's digest no longer exempts file bytes.
Docs: handbook files-in-out and parties-and-tins, mcp-interface.md,
rules.md, receipt-store.md, parties-and-attachments.md, plan/served.md
(D-46; the inline decisions marked superseded), STATUS.md, testing.md
(D-46: tests migrated to uploads and downloads, rewritten, removed,
added).

refuse hand entries (P4b S1, part A)
Plan P4b (D-45), slice S1, the engine half: rules.md B-38.
- ledger-core: every receivables or payables line carries its document
(Ledger.line_docs: DocRef, Movement, DocTag), written by the document
commands in the step that posts it, derived on replay from the existing
document events (the role's account as it stood then; payments by the
ordinal rule), copied onto a reversal's mirror. Ledger::stands_on;
doc_state / invoice_state / bill_state (total, paid, outstanding,
status Open/Partial/Paid/WrittenOff/Void, overdue days) as of any day;
ar_aging / ap_aging read them, so reversed payments and voids are right.
The control guard (add_line, add_line_fx, post_entry,
register_recurring) refuses untagged lines on receivables/payables,
exempting a reversal's mirror of a legacy line; replay never refuses.
Bounds (kernel::running_bounds, bounds_kept) on payments and reversals;
a document reversal never dated before its entry; deposit/payer accounts
must be cash-like and hold no role. New API: receive_payment_with /
pay_bill_with (PaymentDetails: instrument, reference), void_document /
check_void_document, control_check, payments_recorded,
standing_payments, replay_reverse_entry. Invoice.amount_paid/status
remain only as derived caches for the MCP layer until part B.
cashflow bill_splits reads payments from the tags.
- ledger-store: journal feature document_standing (D-39 gated) for a
payment accepted only because an earlier one was reversed;
receive_payment_with / pay_bill_with (instrument journaled as
entry.instrument_set, reference in the description), void_document;
replay uses replay_reverse_entry; schema 15 drops the projection's
amount_paid/status. Fixture p4-arap-before + golden figures written by
the version before S1, adjudicated in arap_standing.rs.
- ledger-gui: party card, cash "coming up" and company owed totals read
doc_state as of today (late from the derived state).
- Lean Documents.lean (control_agrees and friends); Kani
bounds_check_matches_definition,
bounds_kept_is_the_definition_on_books_in_bounds;
rules B-38, B-18/B-23 amended; bookspec `older = true` for legacy hand
lines; tests that hand-post to 1200/2000 post as replay or renumbered.
Review fixes (both reviews of part A):
- control_role_of guards only an account the role is assigned to or one
holding its documents' lines (a chart's own 1200 Equipment or card at
2000 is free until a document posts there); payment accounts check
other roles by holds_role (type-checked). The MCP tests that failed on
the guard (oracle_mcp, spec_projects) pass unchanged.
- standing_payments leaves out reversals (sorted, deduped); replayed
tags match the movement's side; payments_recorded counts every payment
event (tagged or not, Ledger.payment_events) and refuses overflow.
- The record caches settled (paid + discounted + written off) and owed
(Invoice/Bill.owed, never serialized): a void never reads as paid.
- assign_role: receivables/payables refuse moving onto an account with
untagged lines (RoleAccountHasHandLines) and, on their control account
holding a balance, say DocumentRoleHoldsBalance (no hand entry named);
B-23 reworded. The reversal-mirror exemption only takes a hand line
off (even chain depth); putting it back is refused.
- DocStatus Overpaid and Unattached; aging leaves out credit balances;
ControlCheck.attention lists out-of-bounds and unattached documents.
- stands_on counts a chain in order; indexes (doc_index, doc_accounts,
order_pos, reversed_by) keep the derived figures linear.
- Viewer reads a post-dated document as of its own date; one state per
row. bounds_kept's side-crossing documented as intended.
- Tests: ten new spec_documents scenarios, stronger proptests, store
proptest arap_props (live = replay = snapshot at every date, closed
months), fuzz ops void/payments with details, a GUI post-dated test;
Lean Step.assign / Step.release with unattached_zero kept; model
limits stated in docs/testing.md and B-38.
Review fixes (CPA and engineering lenses): only an assigned role's
account or one holding document lines is a control account (a chart's
own 1200 asset stays free); a role can't move onto untagged lines or off
document lines (Lean Step.assign); a void's cache never reads as paid;
no Decimal sum panics; per-document indexes keep figures linear; a
replayed tag matches its side; the feature gate counts payment events;
a payment's reversal is never listed as standing; an overpaid document
has its own status; the viewer keeps post-dated documents.

The owner (2026-10-23): "We should probably just delete the stdio path
altogether. THere's no point in that. And it sitting there unused will
just lead to bitrot. Nuke it?"
Books are served only by the books server (`wanderbooks server`),
reached by agents through the bridge (`wanderbooks mcp --book ID`),
which stays.
Removed: `wanderbooks dev-stdio`, the `ledger-mcp` binary, and
`ledger_mcp::run` (stdio and `--http` over a bare data dir), with all
that only that mode had:
- files the books make coming back inline: `HandedFile.content_base64`
is gone, and `download` and `expires_at` are always there;
- books with no access log or backups: `books.access_log`,
`books.backup` and `books.back_up_now` are always offered, by scope;
- the settings file read and reloaded (`legacy_files`), the vault key
named by a file or `--vault-key-file`, and the books dir's
key-inside-the-books and git checks (with `paths.rs`);
- `wire.rs` (the bridge frames an agent's lines itself);
- `books.settings`' file fields and `books.start`'s `settings_source`.
`BooksServer` is built one way, from `Served` (a book as the books
server serves it), in production and in the unit tests. An unknown tool
is now a protocol error (mcp-tools.md). Inline file input is unchanged.
Then the owner's three decisions (2026-10-23, the question tool):
(a) `books.import_settings` is removed entirely (118 tools): old books
come in whole by `wanderbooks books adopt`, which reads their settings
file once; ledger-config keeps its settings-file parsing only as far as
adoption uses it (`load` and the path-reading `effective_receipt_policy`
are gone), and `books.chart_template` gives its settings as
`books.set_setting` changes. (b) The viewer's loose-books-folder mode is
removed (`--data-dir`, `--books-toml`, `--vault-key-file`, the settings
file and config.json followed): it opens only books of the data root,
reading settings from the journal and the vault from the book's own
`vault/` and `keys/`. (c) `wanderbooks dev-stdio` has no stub: it is an
unknown command like any other word. Also: an upload's expiry past the
calendar is an error, never an empty string.
Tests: every suite that drove the stdio server moved to
crates/ledger-cli/tests/ and drives a real `wanderbooks server` on a
data root of its own (tests/common), handed files by their download;
mcp_stdio.rs is mcp_journeys.rs. Tests of what is gone are deleted and
listed in docs/testing.md. Docs: plan D-44 (D-18 superseded), STATUS,
testing, rules, mcp-interface, the handbook, README; justfile recipes.

The tax-basis K-1 shared each entry's built-in gain, property without a
basis, prepaid at book and property distributed among the members entry
by entry, every tied odd cent to the first member: three equal odd-cent
properties contributed 50/50 left the members three cents apart.
Apply D-38's rule (the closes' cumulative largest remainder, through
kernel::apportion_cumulative): tax_capital::RunningSplit keeps each
member's exact running share, rounds the running shares afresh to the
cent and hands out the change, so no member's running share is ever a
cent from exact and tied cents alternate. A negative running whole is
rounded as its magnitude, a zero one by the sign of the whole just
split, so a run of losses mirrors its gains part for part. Exact running
shares are taken to ten places before rounding: a sum of Decimal thirds
can sit a hair under its cent (the law found 399.93 as 399.9299...).
tax_capital::entry_parts runs the splits over every posted entry from
the books' first, in date order, whatever span is asked for, with one
count per set of members with a part in the entry: a member never takes
a cent of an entry they had no part in (Item L's capital contributed is
the basis of the property that member contributed), and the count never
restarts, since its weights are each entry's own amounts, not shares.
An entry's reversal takes its original's split back out of the count
(RunningSplit::unsplit), so an entry's cents are the same in every span
and next year's beginning is this year's ending. The K-1's per-entry
lines come from k1::entry_lines, which k1_detail now uses too.
The book property each member contributed in an entry stays split entry
by entry (each member's property must stay within their own credit);
B-36 says so.
Tests: tied_odd_cents_of_property_basis_run_cumulatively (fails on the
per-entry split: 665.86 / 665.83); a_member_outside_an_entry_never_
takes_its_cents (three members; fails with one count for all members),
an_entrys_odd_cent_is_the_same_in_every_span (a reversal across the
span's start; fails with the count carried span by span or the reversal
not taken out), the_split_runs_in_date_order (fails in posting order);
the law a_running_split_never_drifts_a_cent (5,000 cases: the
largest-remainder rounding of exact integer shares, ties to the first,
and the negated run mirrored; fails with ties to the later member or a
zero running whole rounded as a gain); unit tests for one split,
alternating ties, a member outside a split, the mirror at zero, unsplit
and the thirds case; bookspec example partnership-k1-tax-basis-odd-cents.
rules.md B-36, the handbook (tracing figures), STATUS, testing.md and
verification.md updated.

The P3 cutover review's open point 2: a state's LLC filing fee, booked
to an organization-costs account (tax category organization_startup),
read as "Cash paid to suppliers and employees". B-14 rule 5 sent a
payment to class (g) only when every operating line's account was
taxes_licenses, so the account, not the payee, decided.
ASC 230-10-45-17, read in EY's guide that reproduces it (Statement of
cash flows, July 2026, p. 43; the PDF re-fetched and its SHA-256
recorded in docs/spec/sources/fasb-asc.md), lists apart "(b) Cash
payments to other suppliers and employees for other goods or services"
and "(c) Cash payments to governments for taxes, duties, fines, and
other fees or penalties". 45-25's classes name only income taxes (f)
among the latter, so the rest are (g), other operating cash payments.
A formation filing fee is rightly an organization cost (its account and
tax line), and still a payment to a government: the payee is what
45-17(c) is about.
So rule 5 now sends a payment's government part to (g): of an
operating payment the structure classes (d), what went to a party with
the government_agency or tax_agency role (the chain root's parties, so
a reversal keeps its original's class) is (g), on any account; and, as
before, a payment whose every operating line is on a taxes_licenses
account is (g). Every party a government: the whole payment. A
government and a supplier named together: the payment is split by their
resolved shares (B-35), the government's part (g), the rest (d), since
ASC 230-10-45-22 has "each separately identifiable source or each
separately identifiable use" classed "on the basis of the nature of the
underlying cash flows" (EY p. 44; quoted in fasb-asc.md; it names the
three activities, read for 45-25's classes too as a CONVENTION). The
government's part is the payment x its share / the whole, rounded half
to even to the base currency's places, the rest exact, so the line still
sums to the payment and a reversal mirrors it. Shares that don't
resolve leave the whole payment (d). One naming no party is decided by
its accounts. Receipts are untouched (a refund from a government stays
(c)). No total changes, only which operating row a payment is in.
Two limits, from the review of this change: a government selling goods
or services (postage) is 45-17(b)'s supplier "for other goods or
services", so the rule says, and the handbook tells the agent, to add
such a payee as a vendor, never with the government_agency role (the
books can't tell what a payment bought; the role says it). And payroll
keeps its structure (CONVENTION): an entry with a line on the salary
expense or a payroll payable control account, or on a pay tax category
(salaries_wages, officer_compensation, employee_benefits,
pension_profit_sharing), stays (d) whoever it names: withheld taxes
remitted are the employees' pay, and the payables mix them with the
employer's taxes, which a remittance can't tell apart. So a remittance
to the IRS is (d) as it was before this change; the employer's payroll
tax paid on its own expense account is a tax, (g).
The first company's books have this case: their state filing fee moves
from "Cash paid to suppliers and employees" to "Other operating cash
payments" at every date once its entry names the state's agency with the
government_agency role and its own entry is the one whose cash the
statement lists (paid from the bank, or on a card that is a lender's
credit, D-42, or by a member through the members' account while it is
a financing account, B-14 rule 11, the way that fee was paid);
charged to an operating-payable card, its cash leaves in the card
payment, whose payee is the bank, and it stays with suppliers.
STATUS says how to check both, and that the cutover goldens' cash-flow
snapshots will differ on the two class lines only (totals the same),
so the next cutover diff isn't read as a regression.
Docs: rules.md B-14 rule 5 (the rule, its source quoted, the date and
what it was before); fasb-asc.md (45-17(b) and (c) quoted exactly, with
the guide's SHA-256); the handbook's entries section (name the agency as
the party on a tax, fee, fine or penalty paid to a government; a shared
payment named with both amounts; a government selling services added as
a vendor; payroll remittances stay with pay; a fee on a card follows the
card payment); fasb-asc.md also quotes 45-22 and 45-22A; bookspec
example cash-flow.government-fees.toml (a filing fee and a lawyer on
one organization-costs account, a license on taxes and licenses with no
party, a penalty to a tax agency on the wrong account, paper from a
supplier, an annual report paid through a registered agent, 37.00 the
state's and 100.00 the agent's; every figure by hand) with a new `class.<a..g>`
key in the

from the P4 review, `a_reversal_takes_its_originals_payee` (a fee and
its reversal next month land in one class, the chain's payee deciding:
the books keep a chain's parties one, so reading the reversal's own
parties is an equivalent mutant) and
`a_shared_government_payment_a_member_paid_splits_both_ways` (a shared
payment a member paid: each part with its own on_behalf; fails with
the on-behalf part unsplit). docs/mcp-interface.md: books.cash_flow
and the Roles paragraph say a government or tax agency payee makes a
payment other operating, and a shared one two operating lines.
Broken to confirm: without the payee check the five spec tests and the
example fail; without the split for mixed payees the two shared-payment
tests and the example (class.d -549.50) fail; without the payroll
exclusion the payroll test fails; rounding toward zero fails both unit
tests; without the tax-category route
`operating_classes_follow_asc_230_10_45_25`, the second test and the
example fail. The viewer's cash flow page,
rendered on made-up books before and after: the fee moved from "Cash
paid to suppliers and employees" to "Other operating cash payments",
every total the same; and on made-up books with an annual report
shared between the state and an agent: each part on its own class
line, every total the same.

The P3 cutover review's open point 1: entries carry projects (classes,
B-37), but the QuickBooks Desktop file (B-34) left the CLASS field empty
on every line, and neither B-34 nor the README said so, though B-34 rule
6 says nothing changes silently.
Intuit's IIF Import Kit (vendored in docs/spec/sources/intuit-iif.md,
the kit's SHA-256 unchanged): the `!CLASS` header help says "Only the
NAME column is required" and a subclass's NAME is its parents' names
first, joined by colons; the kit's "Import First - List Declarations"
example declares `!CLASS` rows before any transaction, and its "2004
Deposit (Income)" example names the class line by line in CLASS. So the
file now declares every class in a `!CLASS` list after the accounts and
before `!TRNS`, and writes each line's class in CLASS (empty where the
line has none). Books with no class write no list, byte for byte as
before. A line whose class wasn't declared is refused
(IifError::UndeclaredClass), never written classless.
A class's NAME follows B-34's rules for an account's own name: plain
ASCII (rule 3), a colon written '-' (it would start a subclass),
trimmed, '?' if nothing is left, cut to 31 characters: Intuit's qbXML
Onscreen Reference gives `ClassAdd`'s Name "maxDT" : 31 (and 31 in the
Canadian, UK and Australian desktop editions; 100 only in Online), the
same as its `AccountAdd` Name (both JSON files vendored by SHA-256);
Conductor's QuickBooks Desktop API reference agrees and says the name is
case-insensitive. Classes whose NAMEs would match ignoring case get
" (id)", round after round, as accounts get " (code)", except that
among names that match, those already written differently from the
books (made safe, or tagged) yield first, a second " (id)" if need be:
a class's own name is kept unless another class's own name is the same
ignoring case (classes 1 "Café", 2 "Cafe", 3 "Cafe (1)" are written
"Cafe (1) (1)", "Cafe", "Cafe (1)"). Each class is tagged twice at most
and ids differ, so none is left alike (a hand-built list is refused). Each class name
written differently is an IifChange (IifField::ClassName), said one
line each in the warnings and in the package README, whose
"written differently" paragraph now names class names' limits; its IIF
line says CLASS is each line's project when there are classes. The MCP
and viewer notes count "account or class name(s)".
API: `iif_classes(ledger)` builds the list; `journal_to_iif` takes it
(`&[]` for none).
Docs: rules.md B-34 rule 8 with its sources; intuit-iif.md (the
`!CLASS` help, the list declarations and deposit examples, Intuit's SDK
department page, the qbXML Onscreen Reference's ClassAdd and AccountAdd
and Conductor's class reference, each with SHA-256);
mcp-interface.md (books.export iif, the package note); the bookspec
example iif-quickbooks-journal-file.toml (two projects: one carried and
renamed, one only declared; every line derived by hand); testing.md;
STATUS (open point 1 done; point 3 waits for the close, the owner said).
Tests: ledger-import
`iif_writes_each_lines_class_and_declares_the_classes_first`,
`iif_class_names_fit_quickbooks_and_every_change_is_listed`,
`iif_class_names_written_as_the_books_have_them_are_kept`,
`iif_refuses_an_undeclared_or_unfit_class`, property
`iif_class_names_never_clash`; ledger-package
`the_package_iif_carries_each_lines_project` and the bookspec example.
Broken to confirm: CLASS written empty fails the two exact-file tests,
the package test and the bookspec example; the " (id)" tag dropped fails
the names test and the property; tagging every name that meets (no
yielding) fails the kept-names test and the property (its shrunk case,
"A-B" beside "A\uFF1AB", kept in the regressions file).

A client project's invoiced revenue and a contractor's billed cost could
never count toward the project: books.create_invoice and books.create_bill
posted at once with untagged lines, and only a draft's line takes a class.
Job costing (B-37 item 3) collects a job's billings and the supplier
invoices for its direct costs on its cost sheet, so each document line
now takes an optional project.
The owner decided it on 2026-10-22 (plan D-43, rules.md B-37 item 8):
each line takes one project or none; a document spanning N projects is N
lines, each with its own amount; no percentage split, so every figure is
exact; a cost truly shared among projects names none on the document
and reaches projects only as entries of their own under the company's
monthly allocation convention, when books.conventions has one (otherwise
it stays untagged and the agent asks the human). The reasoning, stated
in B-37: job costing charges a job the costs traceable to it, whole, and
reaches shared costs only by allocation on a stated basis. ASC
340-40-25-7 counts as directly related both the costs traceable to a
contract (25-7(a), (b), (d), (e)) and allocations of costs that relate
directly to it (25-7(c)); 25-8 expenses general and administrative cost.
The books carry the first whole on the document's line and the second as
the allocation convention's own entries; neither is a percentage on the
document (sources/fasb-asc.md, 25-7 and 25-8 added). The handbook's
projects rule and the line's class parameter say the same, and no
handbook sentence lets a shared cost be split across a document's lines.
The accounting: the document's entry posts one revenue (an invoice's) or
expense (a bill's) line per project its lines name, in the order each is
first named, each the sum of that project's lines, and the untagged
lines' sum as one more line (arap::document_parts, conservation checked
by a proptest). A document naming no project therefore posts exactly the
one line every document posted before. The receivable or payable line is
never tagged: it is a balance-sheet line, which item 3 counts nothing;
the payments (receive_payment, pay_bill) move cash against it and take no
project either. Nothing but the projects moves: the P&L, the 1099
worksheet (payments made, B-19) and party totals (what moved the money,
B-35) read the same with or without the tags (twin-books test); the
projects with the untagged lines still partition the P&L.
- ledger-core: DocumentLine.class_id (serde-omitted when none, so old
documents serialize as before); create_invoice / create_bill split the
revenue or expense side by project and tag it; an unknown project is
refused whole (atomically).
- ledger-store: a document line's project is journaled as class_id on
invoice.created / bill.created, and the entry's line as
entry.line_class_set right after its entry.line_added (the entry.posted
lines carry class_id, as a hand-built entry's do). Behind a NEW journal
feature, document_line_projects (KNOWN_FEATURES, declared by new books,
asked for before the first journaled line, not even the control
accounts written on refusal); not `projects`, which the live books
already declared: the owner consents again at the next upgrade. A
malformed class_id is corrupt; null or absent is none. Untagged
documents journal byte for byte as before; old journals replay
unchanged.
- ledger-mcp: each line takes class (id or name, resolved like
add_line's, every one before anything is written); the result gains
notes for a finished or abandoned project, and on an invoice for an
on-spec project (is there now an agreement? on spec a hoped-for
payment is no receivable, B-37 item 4), tagged anyway; books lacking
the feature refuse with format_upgrade_pending. books.get_entry shows a
line's class_id and project. The handbook's "an invoice or bill takes no
project yet" caveat now depends on the books: gone where the feature is
declared, an "until their format upgrade" note where it isn't.
- ledger-gui: an invoice's or bill's page (its entry's) lists the
document's lines, each project a link that opens it; the demo's client
invoices are tagged to "Client work", whose snapshot is now its revenue
less its contractors. Looking at the page in a narrow window found a
tagged line's tag pushing the amounts past the pane (any tagged entry):
the name is now cut to leave the tag room, the tag itself at most half
the cell.
- bookspec: an `invoice` event, and `lines` with `project` on a bill or
an invoice; example projects-invoice-and-bill-lines-count-by-project,
worked by hand, both projects client work (Zeta 3,500.00 - 1,200.00 =
2,300.00; Harbor 200.00;
untagged -1,750.00; together the P&L's 750.00; Dana's 1099 payments
1,250.00).
- fuzz: fuzz_store_replay can declare journal features.
- Tests: core, store, MCP, viewer, the P2-served cutover fixture and a
viewer/server parity test (its month lists the same length, not
empty); a tagged document's reversal nets its projects to zero, live
and replayed; books.get_entry's class_id; the handbook served as a
resource both ways; each fix broken to confirm its test fails
(docs/testing.md). Docs: rules.md B-27 and B-37 items 3 and 8,
sources/fasb-asc.md, plan/served.md D-43,
mcp-interface.md, testing.md, parity.md, plan/STATUS.md.
No proof changed (no kernel arithmetic: document_parts sums with the
existing document_total).

The project page opens on a snapshot: revenue, direct costs, the
contribution before overhead and its margin of revenue (a segment
margin: revenue less every cost traced to the project, fixed and
variable; B-37 item 7), in the black or red, and for on-spec work the
cost unrecovered if repaid. To date or this fiscal year. By month,
revenue and costs with the net to date in its own strip; costs by
category; the list colors each net by its sign. books.project carries
the same figures, and a parity test runs the viewer and the MCP on the
same books to the cent. Tests honor TMPDIR.

On the live books a reconnected bridge got no token from a keyring that
couldn't be read, was told to "make a token", and after
`token create --replace` kept on with the new token in memory while
`download` read a revoked one from the keyring.
- tokens.rs INVARIANT 4: keeping a token removes every item for its
account in every collection, makes one and reads it back; reading finds
every item and, finding several, refuses with how to keep one again; a
locked or unreachable keyring is KeyringError::Unavailable, never
"no token". The logic is shared by the OS keyring and the test files
(now a folder per collection a test can lock, make unreachable, or
plant a second item in).
- make_token reads the token back before saying anything, or revokes it.
- The bridge tells the agent the keyring is locked or unreachable and the
token is fine (or that it holds several items), never to make a token;
it reads the keyring again before every new session, even with a token
held.
- `wanderbooks token check --book ID [--name N]`: whether the token kept
here is the books' live one, asked by its SHA-256 (admin op
token_check), never its text.

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

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

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.

pins git against the owner's configuration. books.backup and

`wanderbooks gui [BOOK]` finds the data root, reads settings from the
journal, the vault of the book, presence through ops/, Save a copy /
Open on every document, Save the W-9, the Export menu, and colour
schemes. One builder for the CPA package and the 1099 worksheet
(ledger-package), shared by the server and the viewer.

Files reach the books through the server: uploads by hash and size,
then filed; exports (the CPA package, the 1099 worksheet, W-9s) handed
over as downloads from the server, never read off disk by the agent.

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,
the scheme in force again; the menu closed without a click, the one in
force at once. Only a click chooses, and a preview is never kept.
Tested with frames 10 ms apart.

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
review rounds; mutation on the diff (docs/testing.md).

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
directly. Two review rounds; mutation on the diff (docs/testing.md).
