- core: asset tags (generated PREFIX-0001 or the human's own; unique ignoring case; never reused by another asset) and serial numbers (rules.md B-24); a journaled link from an asset to the entry that acquired it (posted, unreversed, debiting the cost account); fixed_asset_register(as_of), reconciled to the GL (unposted depreciation, unregistered cost)
- store: asset.tagged, asset.serial_set, asset.acquisition_linked journaled, replayed, projected (schema v9); differs_from now also compares control roles and tag history

- viewer: Assets page (register, reconciliation), asset page (identity, schedule posted vs not, entries, documents), Fixed asset register report, global search by tag/serial/description, journal text, needs-attention items
- fix: verify compared snapshot amounts as strings; a zero total summed in hash-map order could print "0" or "0.00", so agreeing books failed verify at random. Now by value (regression test)

Each formerly ASSUMED behavior is now CONFIRMED, CONVENTION, DESIGN, or
CHANGE (pending), with its source (Reg. S-X, ASC 230 via Deloitte DART,
IRS K-1 instructions, OpenStax). Two need engine work: members' equity
should allocate cumulatively so each member's beginning equals the prior
ending (#7), and the cash flow should show financing gross and classify
investing by account role (#8). Two questions for the CPA are listed.
The test doc comments that relied on them now cite the verdicts.
Core mutation run: 1,011 caught + 13 timeouts of 1,024 viable, 0 missed.
No benchmark budget, by decision.

Three spec decisions from Stephen (2026-10-13), raised by the spec-blind
test writers, each test-first:
- A payment dated before its invoice or bill is refused
(PaymentBeforeDocument); a real prepayment is a deposit. Test:
a_payment_never_predates_its_document. Replay is unaffected (it goes
through replay_invoice_payment / replay_bill_payment).
- Aging as of a date shows only documents issued by then, less only the
payments made by then. The ledger now records each document's payment
entries (live and on replay), and aging counts those dated by as_of.
Test: aging_as_of_a_date_sees_only_what_existed_then; the A/R and A/P
conservation properties' aging oracles updated to the confirmed rule
(they had assumed aging ignored dates).
- A schedule through a mid-month date prorates that month by days; the
code was right and its doc wrong. The spec-blind test that disagreed is
rewritten to the confirmed spec and no longer ignored.
Also found while wiring payments: a payment to an unknown cash account
created the payment's draft and then failed, leaving it behind; the cash
account is now checked before anything is created.
The unreviewed golden van_schedule.json is gone: every row was first
checked against an independent hand computation (all 61 matched), then
replaced by van_schedule_is_the_hand_computed_one, which asserts that
computation directly (548.39, 59 x 1,000.00, 451.61; total 60,000.00).
Tests: 452. No spec-disagreements left ignored.

Max-testing pass, steps 2-4.
Spec-blind tests (rank 1-2): four agents, each given only the specs and
the public interface (doc comments and signatures, every body removed,
never src/ or the existing tests), wrote tests/spec_reports.rs (62),
spec_ledger.rs (72), spec_arap.rs (42), spec_assets_payroll.rs (50):
hand-computed examples per scenario and a proptest law per invariant
(conservation, partition, invariance, scaling, reversal cancels,
"a refusal leaves the books unchanged" over random invalid commands).
They found:
1. A refused payroll run changed the books: an all-zero run passed
validation, then failed at post after creating seven payroll
accounts and using up an entry id. validate_payroll_lines now
refuses a run with no gross pay.
2. A refused add_account used up an account id (empty code, duplicate,
unknown parent). The id is now taken only when the account is added.
3. Stale prose: close_period_to and members_equity still described the
old last-member rounding.
4. Open (left #[ignore]d pending Stephen): depreciation_schedule's doc
says "through the month containing" the date; the code prorates that
month by days.
GnuCash oracle (rank 3, an oracle never the spec): `just oracle` builds
GnuCash 5.10 in a container pinned by base digest and package versions
(oracle/gnucash/) and runs tests/oracle_gnucash.rs: 200 seeded random
books built through wanderbooks (entries, foreign lines, reversals,
monthly closes), every account's balance at month ends and random dates
and each month's P&L, compared exactly: 15,800 comparisons. First run:
4,724 differences, all from foreign lines; without them, zero.
Adjudicated from principles (rules.md B-3): wanderbooks booked
foreign * rate unrounded ($108.34567); a ledger in one money holds no
fractions of its smallest unit, and its cash must match a bank. Stephen
decided: book in the base currency's minor unit, half away from zero.
add_line_fx now rounds; minor units per ISO 4217 list one (2026-09-17,
SIX), generated into Currency::minor_units and recorded in
docs/spec/sources/iso-4217.md. Replay now takes the journaled base
amount (replay_add_line_fx), so lines booked before replay exactly as
booked (contract: books_written_under_older_rules_still_open). Now:
zero differences, foreign lines included.
Tests: 449, from 223.
