Accounting reason: a draft that waits on its receipt, and one thrown
away, are facts about the books' working papers that must survive a
restart and replay identically, or a discarded draft would come back and
hold its period open. entry.draft_state_set and entry.draft_discarded are
drafts_v2's (an older version stops at the declaration instead of
misreading them); no figure moves. Schema 19 (taken at merge as the next
after the current last): entries.posted_seq, and a draft_states table
(drafts are not rows of entries, so the plan's entries.draft_state column
has nowhere to live). posted_seq is the journal line that posted each
entry (entry.posted, entry.reversed, the line that closed a period or
posted a schedule month), identical live and on replay.
8.0.6: a hand-written line of each new shape in
books_written_under_older_rules_still_open; fixture old-books/p4_before
written by 25b52580 (hand entries posted late, a reversal, a document, a
schedule month, a recurring draft, open drafts, a close) opens to the
same figures (serialized entries omit a building state, so no golden
moved); drafts_v2_is_its_own_feature; the fuzzer and GUI journal know the
types.
Tests: draft_states_replay_and_project, drafts_v2_waits_for_the_upgrade,
posted_seq_is_the_posting_lines_seq, an_older_version_stops_at_the_draft_events.

The defect found merging S7 and P6: under P6's dedup the notice's
bytes resolve to the record already on file, and the one-receipt-one-
entry rule refused it only after the write-off had journaled its
entry. The store now checks the deduplicated record before the journal
line (`6c26160e`'s companion fix in `write_off_invoice`); this test
pins it: the refusal names the record and its entry, the head and the
journal are unchanged, no entry posts, the invoice stays open, and the
books verify. Also formats the B-27 test `ci-fixes` brought in.

The weekly run's fuzz_settings_replay job failed to build since P3 gave
each projection schema its own file: the target still named
ledger_store::DB_FILE, which became db_file(). The fuzz crate is outside
the workspace, so just check never compiled it; every target builds
again (cargo fuzz build, 2026-10-29).
The same run's fuzz_store_replay crash (the writer refusing a journal
with an unknown convention kind as newer while the viewer said something
else) is not reproduced yet: the hand-made case, kept here as
an_unknown_convention_kind_is_newer_for_the_writer_and_the_viewer_alike,
passes, so the divergence needs the fuzzer's exact journal, which the
weekly job now keeps as an artifact.

The books never send invoices (A-4), but they must remember that one
went out: who sent it, how, to whom, when, whether it was the original
or a reminder, and the channel's own reference. That record is a fact
of the document's life, not a figure: a send moves no money, so it is
one journal line (`invoice.sent`) and no entry, and every derived
figure (outstanding, aging, DocState) is exactly as it was.
`Ledger::mark_sent` refuses a send on a void invoice (it should never
have reached the customer), a send dated before the invoice, no
recipients, and any recipient, reference or note that would put a full
TIN or control characters into the journal. Open, partial, paid and
written-off invoices can be sent (a copy for the customer's records, a
reminder).
The event is `documents_v2`'s (D-52): an older version refuses the
type rather than dropping the record. Replay restores it and the
projection keeps it in schema 16's `invoice_sends` table, so live,
replay and the viewer agree. The new old-books fixture `p4_s5_before`
was written by eeee9658 and opens to the same figures; a hand-written
send in `books_written_under_older_rules_still_open` proves an older
journal with the new line still opens.
Tests: mark_sent_waits_for_documents_v2, sends_replay_and_project,
a_send_changes_no_figure, mark_sent_on_void_refused, Op::MarkSent in
status_is_a_function_of_journal_and_date,
an_older_version_stops_at_invoice_sent.
A customer's email is copied onto an invoice's bill-to snapshot at issue,
and a party's default terms (one as our customer, one as our vendor) are
the fallback a document's due date takes when the document itself names
none (A-13, rules.md B-39). Both are journaled as party.updated facts and
guarded by documents_v2: in books that have not declared it the write is
refused with the upgrade remedy and journaling nothing, and replay gives
the same directory back.
An email must be one plain address: one @, no spaces, no full TIN (the
party text rule already refuses nine digits). Terms are typed and already
canonical, so there is no second spelling to check. A party.updated naming
a field this version does not know is now NewerJournal, never corrupt
(B-27): an older version must say update, not damage; a known field with a
malformed value is still corrupt.
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.

A schedule-convention setting, the two new tax categories, a disposal
before the in-service date and a depreciation catch-up each need their
feature now (tax_categories_gain_exempt, disposal_before_service,
depreciation_catch_up), so no write before consent leaves books P2 refuses
or misreads; replayed names are read with P2's TIN detector (B-28). The
cutover runs end to end through the real P2 and P3 binaries in a test.

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.

Books an update could write a newer format for open on their old format
and are asked at every open; anything needing a new feature is refused
until the owner agrees with the passphrase, after a verified backup that
includes the keys. New books start on the current format. Each projection
schema has its own database file, so an older version still opens the
books until the owner agrees.

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.

books.rename_account; account names trimmed, bounded, refused when a
sibling's or TIN-shaped; books.show refuses what its target ignores. A
report asked for without dates covers this fiscal year so far, everywhere
(one rule for tools, descriptions and the viewer; the IIF and CPA package
keep their own dates). policy.require_tax_category warns or refuses; a
Form 4797 gain is shown apart on every return.

Many test helpers removed their temp dir only before the test, or only
on pass, so runs left them behind: 117,000 filled /tmp (RAM here) and
stopped a mutation run. Each now holds a guard that removes the dir on
drop, unwind included; servers started on a test dir hold its guard
until they stop. A full cargo test --workspace leaves 0 dirs (859
before). just sweep-test-tmp stays for runs killed mid-test.

Settings, conventions (posting templates, approval rules, policies,
close steps, calendar, mappings, notes), decisions, open items and
entry approvals are journal events (journal format 2). Books that keep
their settings never read wanderbooks.toml or config.json; the server
and the viewer take the vault key from --vault-key-file instead.
books.import_settings moves a settings file in once, exactly as the
server reads it. Approval rules, when enforced, gate every posting
path. Replay refuses what it can't read as newer, never as corrupt.
Lean: a record changes no figure. Mutation on the whole diff: every
survivor killed by a test but two equivalent (docs/testing.md). The
Company page says a late open item is overdue in words, not colour
alone.

An unknown event type on a whole, chained line, or a journal.format_set
declaring a newer journal format, now raises StoreError::NewerJournal
(update wanderbooks) instead of JournalCorrupt. Corruption (bad hash,
seq, or JSON) is still corruption. The gate runs in the store, the
Snapshot and the GUI, after each line's parse, seq and hash checks, and
never skips a line it can't read. Adds the journal.format_set event
(format 1 today; nothing writes it yet) and a registry of every event
type this version reads, tested against the replay and projection arms.
Review fixes (P0 review, 2026-10-16):
- A line's own hash is checked only by the next line's prev, and the
gate used to refuse a line before reading the next: a flipped bit in a
middle line's type (or a format_set edited from 1 to 2) was reported
as "newer, the books are not damaged". Now the reader settles every
refusal against the next line (format::settle): a next line that
doesn't chain makes it corrupt; one that chains makes it newer and
verified; with no next line the message says "newer or damaged; update,
then run verify", never "not damaged" (NewerJournal.verified).
- A newer format number is judged newer before its features are parsed:
a newer format may shape them differently.
- Snapshot treats a blank complete line as corrupt, as the writer does.
- docs/spec/rules.md B-27, which the code cites, now exists.
Round-2 review fixes (2026-10-16):
- The envelope {seq, ts, type, payload, prev} and its hash (SHA-256 of
the canonical JSON) are frozen across formats (rules.md B-27); new
fields go in payload. settle reads only the next line's prev, leniently,
so a newer format's next line (a float, a string seq, keys of its own)
is never called corrupt: no readable prev means unverified newer.
- A key beside the envelope's was silently dropped (and the chain then
broke as "corrupt"): it is now NewerJournal, hashed over the raw
canonical JSON so the next line still checks it; JournalLine::parse
refuses such a line.
- "the books are not damaged" overclaimed: a verified refusal says line N
is intact and this version can't check the lines after it.
- The writer read the journal with BufRead::lines (invalid UTF-8 was an
I/O error); it now splits bytes on newlines as the Snapshot does, so a
non-UTF-8 line is JournalCorrupt in both.
- Store::open truncated a torn tail before the gate ran, altering newer
books (perhaps mid-append) before refusing them. The gate now runs over
the complete lines first; the tail is set aside (and journaled) only
when they pass.
- Mutation testing (docs/testing.md, P0): the viewer and the writer say
the same words about the same damaged line (the newline is no part of
it); read_journal_and_format returns every line and the format in
force; the journal page tells a format declaration.
Plan: plan/served.md P0 and 5.1.
Review round 3 (S6, S7). Store::open replays every complete line in
memory (the first line's currency, then the ledger) before a cut-off
last line is set aside, so a complete line the books can't apply
refuses the open with the journal byte for byte as it was and nothing
set aside (B-27 SCENARIO 3; test
a_bad_complete_line_before_a_torn_tail_leaves_the_journal_as_it_was);
catch_up now only projects. The viewer
applies the writer's first-line rule (created_currency, shared) instead
of guessing USD: any other first line, or a store.created without a
sound base_currency, is corrupt to both (test
the_first_line_is_store_created_for_the_viewer_and_the_writer). fuzz_store_replay varies the
first line (14,696 runs clean).
