From ASC 230 (via Deloitte DART and PwC Viewpoint), replacing two
formerly assumed behaviors:
- Financing and investing are gross (230-10-45-7): per account, cash in
and cash out are separate lines (contributions apart from
distributions, borrowing apart from repayment), netted only within
one entry. Lines come in code order, in before out.
- Investing includes making and collecting loans and buying investments
(230-10-20, 45-13), not only registered fixed assets:
CashFlowParams gains investing_accounts.
- The roles are per-company settings: [books] financing_accounts and
investing_accounts in wanderbooks.toml (beside cash_accounts). The MCP
tools (cash_flow, export, CPA package) default every list to them and
share one path; the viewer reads them too, falling back to its name
guess for debt. A due-to-owners liability listed as financing gives
PwC 6.9.3.1's constructive treatment of expenses an owner paid.
rules.md B-14 quotes the sources; new tests cite them; docs/testing.md
#8 is resolved.

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.

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.
