swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 535874e0f3 fix(cash flow): a payment to a government is other operating, by its payee
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
cash_flow query (bookspec README; the runner checks every class the
statement has is given); testing.md; STATUS.

Tests: ledger-core tests/spec_cash_flow.rs
`a_payment_to_a_government_is_other_operating` (the filing fee and a
penalty to a tax agency (g); the same account paid to a lawyer, or with
no payee, (d); its reversal next month keeps (g); a refund (c)),
`a_government_payee_moves_a_fee_on_any_account` (a taxes_licenses
license with no party (g); a payment shared half and half between a
government and a printer split 50.00 (g) and 50.00 (d), the government
alone all (g)), `a_shared_government_payment_splits_to_the_cent` (a
third by percent of 100.01: 33.34 (g), 66.67 (d); amounts split as
given; the reversal mirrors to the cent),
`a_payroll_remittance_to_a_tax_agency_stays_pay` (withheld taxes
remitted from a payable holding its payroll role, and pay on a
salaries_wages account, stay (d) with the IRS named; the employer's tax
on its own expense account is (g)),
`a_government_selling_services_is_a_supplier` (postage to a vendor (d);
given government_agency, (g): the limit the handbook guards); src
cashflow.rs `tests` `a_government_part_rounds_half_to_even` and the
proptest `a_government_part_sums_and_mirrors`; the bookspec example;
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.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 528c070605 feat: invoices and bills take a project, line by line (B-37 item 8)
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).

check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
A project is a class with facts (description, status, kind, party,
dates, links, notes) in one project.set event behind the format
feature projects. Four tools (books.add_project, update_project,
projects, project); documents and decisions link to projects; B-37:
on-spec costs are expensed as incurred, repayment is revenue, and the
unrecovered cost is never below zero (Kani). Viewer: a Projects list
and a project page with its figures, by month and by account. The
sidebar measures its footer instead of reserving a fixed 172 px.

check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
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.

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
schedules spread by day; equal-months schedules must start on the 1st.
Amounts round to the currency's own minor unit. Kani and Lean proofs; an
exhaustive search over runs, reversals and disposals.

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
the members' equity statement and cash the K-1's cash. Money is cash,
cards and the financing accounts, and a liability credit never pays its
own creditor (creditor_of), so accruals and declared distributions count
once. tin_last4 from the TIN or W-9 facts.

Direct method with the operating reconciliation and noncash schedules; it

property a member contributes stays noncash. The bookspec seed: one loader
