swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 6b7dccd1ee feat(audit): audit runs and attestations are journaled (P8)
A claim that someone checked the books is evidence the CPA handoff rests on,
so it is a journal fact and replays: audit.run (a programme run through a
day at the books' figure head, with the hashes that make it reproducible and
the two filed workpapers), receipt.attested, entry.reviewed and
period.attested. Behind the journal feature audits, schema 20; no figure
moves. The figure head is the last line that bears on a figure: filing a
workpaper, a run or an attestation never makes an audit stale, an entry,
document, close, settings or role change does, so a period is attested only
on an audit that still describes the books. A receipt reading that differs
from the entry is recorded as disagreeing and never counts; whether a claim
counts is derived against the bar when asked, never stored.

The store also reads what a ledger cannot: the chain, the database against
a replay, stored and extracted files, the access log, duplicate files, and
the backups' standing handed in by the server. Fixture old-books/p8_before
was written by the version before this one and opens to its figures.
period.attested was the tests' placeholder for an unknown event type; they
use ledger.not_yet_written now.

swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 4236f03744 feat(store): a record's source can be corrected without touching its words (P5)
Accounting reason: a convention, a decision or an open item carries who
decided it, when and on what authority. When that is recorded wrongly the
honest fix is to say so on the record, not to restate the policy: a policy
revision bumps the convention's revision and reads as a change of the rule,
and a new decision supersedes the old one. A source correction changes only
the authority and says why, so the audit trail shows the words were never
altered.

New event types convention.source_revised, decision.source_revised and
open_item.source_revised {id, source, reason} under the journal feature
source_revisions: an older version would refuse the types, or show the old
source as the record's authority, so it stops at the declaration instead
(rules.md B-27) and books that have not had the owner's upgrade refuse the
write with format_upgrade_pending, journaling nothing. Replay sets the
source and nothing else (the text, the revision and the journal line stay);
the projection updates the rows' existing source columns, so no schema
changed. A correction must be one: other words, the same source, no reason
or an unknown record is refused.

books.set_convention takes reason (the text exactly as it stands),
books.record_decision and books.raise_item take revises with reason. Without
reason the old refusal stands and now says how to correct only the source.

8.0.6: the hand-written lines of the three shapes in
books_written_under_older_rules_still_open; fixture old-books/p5_before,
written by b97234ac (a revised convention, two decisions, two open items, a
draft) through old-books-writer/src/bin/p5_before.rs, opens to that
version's figures, so no figure moved; books_p2_served_cut_over_whole
refuses the correction before consent and takes it after; the fuzzer and the
viewer's journal know the types. The live books refuse the new write until
the owner gives the go-ahead; merging does not need it.

Tests: a_source_only_revision_is_journaled,
a_source_revision_must_change_only_the_source,
source_revisions_wait_for_the_upgrade, source_revisions_is_its_own_feature.

swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 28d46332e4 feat(store): draft states and discards are journaled, posted_seq is kept (P4)
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.

swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 2ad192bbcd merge: P6, the evidence pipeline (branch P6, checkpoint ce366408)
The last of the paused branches, from its "not for merge" checkpoint:
extraction in ledger-import (text, pages, page images; capped, caught),
journaled as attachment.text_extracted; dedup by hash with
books.find_attachment and books.consolidate_duplicates; annotations and
books.set_entry_settles; the company record categories; the two fuzz
targets; feature attachment_text. Nineteen files conflicted with the
four P4b merges, resolved as plan 8.0.2 says: P6 retakes schema 18 (it
had taken 16, which S4.3 holds; S5 holds 17); the tool table is 129 and
the destructive count 31; both sides' appends kept with their seams
restored; one B-27 paragraph naming every feature; in the old-books
fixture P6's hand-written reimbursement is entry 7 (its ids collided
with S4.3's invoice); the replay fuzzer's list gains S7's
invoice.written_off; S4.3's issued-PDF test expects the extraction
record P6 journals right after a filing.

One integration defect between S7 and P6, found by the arap property
test and fixed here: under P6's dedup, a write-off whose evidence bytes
were filed already (the same collection letter for a second write-off of
the same invoice) was refused only after its entry had been journaled,
at the final link to the invoice ("already linked"). The write-off now
resolves the dedup before anything is journaled and keeps a link the
record already has to the invoice instead of refusing it; an explicit
existing_attachment_id already on an entry is still refused (S7's
one-receipt-once rule). P6's gate never ran before the pause; it runs on
main after this merge, and its ledger-store -> ledger-import dependency
is the open review point (plan 8.0.1).

swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 335a3eaa7e merge: P4b S7, bad debts (branch S7, 4b4fecb9)
The fourth of the paused branches: Ledger::write_off and the bad_debts
control role, invoice.written_off with its evidence filed in the same
store call, books.write_off_invoice, the write-off on the timeline and
in Needs attention, Lean writeOff_within_bounds, rules.md B-41 and the
bookspec examples. Twenty-eight files conflicted with the S4.4, S5 and
S6 merges; resolved as plan 8.0.2 says, keeping both sides' appends with
their seams restored, and: the scope table at 125; S7's law numbered 37;
B-41 placed before B-42; the handbook's step 4 and recovery procedures
folded into the one invoices-and-bills section; S7's wire tests in their
own module with the confirm S4.4's contract needs; S7's copy of the
payment steps dropped (S6 replaced them with Ledger::settle) and its
write-off journaled through S6's journal_auto_lines; in the old-books
fixture S7's hand-written write-off moved to a second invoice, since
S6's hand-written payment settles invoice 1 in full.

swaits d1fb512e4b feat(arap): record an invoice's sends as invoice.sent (P4b S5)
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.

swaits 4e71cf6320 feat(store): journal a write-off with its evidence (P4b S7)
A bad debt is deducted on evidence it is worthless (Treas. Reg.
§1.166-2), so the store will not journal one without it:
Store::write_off_invoice takes the evidence as bytes to file or as an
attachment already filed, and files it in the same call — a
receipt.attached on the write-off's entry and an attachment.linked to
the invoice (rules.md B-41). With no evidence it refuses, journaling
nothing.

The entry (Dr 6990 Bad Debt Expense / Cr 1200) and its evidence are
journaled after the engine's whole check and after the feature gate: the
new event type invoice.written_off needs documents_v2, so an older
version stops at the declaration rather than reading a written-off
invoice as still owed (B-27, D-52). Its payload is the invoice, the
entry, the day, the amount and the reason; replay tags the receivable
line WriteOff, and the projection keeps no written-off figure — it is
the tagged lines' sum (B-38).

`meta::invoice_written_off_of` reads and writes the payload; the replay
fuzzer draws the type.

8.0.6: (1) `books_written_under_older_rules_still_open` hand-writes the
new event and its entry through JournalWriter and still opens, with the
figures tailing; (2) a new fixture old-books/p4_s7_before was written by
main 4cad2cfc (the version before this unit) through the old-books-writer
harness — a numbered invoice with terms and snapshots, a partial payment,
a voided invoice and a paid bill — with its expected.json; this version
opens it and reports the same figures, the viewer included; (3) the
cut-over entry is in format_upgrade.rs's books_p2_served_cut_over_whole;
(4) documents_v2_is_its_own_feature is green and the event gate's arms
pass; (5) no figure moves: no golden changed (the previous version's
expected.json is the comparison); (6) merge does not need the owner's
go-ahead; the live books refuse the new write until he gives it.

Tests: write_off_waits_for_documents_v2, write_off_replays_and_projects,
write_off_without_evidence_is_refused; arap_props.rs gains WriteOff.

swaits 0e5aebda99 feat(store): journal the document fields and file the issued PDF (P4b S4.3)
S4.1 gave documents a number, terms, line accounts and snapshots, and S4.2
gave parties an email and default terms, but the store journaled none of
them: a document carrying one was refused by a temporary guard, because a
public write that replay loses would break I-3. This slice makes the
journal carry them.

- `invoice.created` and `bill.created` write a number, terms, bill-to and
  seller snapshots, references, memo and a duplicate's reason, and each
  line its account, quantity and unit price, every key only when set. A
  document naming none is journaled byte for byte as every earlier version
  wrote it (`no_new_fields_journals_byte_for_byte`), so the owner's live
  books keep working.
- All of it is behind `documents_v2` (B-27): a write that names one waits
  for the owner's upgrade, refused with `format_upgrade_pending` and
  journaling nothing; a write that names none never waits
  (`documents_v2_waits_for_the_upgrade`).
- `invoicing.first_number` is settable only while no numbered invoice
  exists (A-2, B-40): the series has begun, and a number is never reused or
  renumbered. Refused at `set_setting`, before anything is journaled.
- The issued copy is filed in the issuing call (A-7, B-40 item 3):
  `create_invoice_issued` journals the entry, the invoice, then
  `receipt.attached` on that entry (`INV-0007.pdf`, `application/pdf`,
  "Issued invoice") and `attachment.linked` to the invoice. There is no
  `issued_pdf` field: the attachment id is allocated after the entry exists
  (CD-A6), and the link is how the copy is found and how its SHA-256 is
  checked. Every refusal happens before the first journal line; the PDF's
  bytes are stored before it, so a refused issue leaves an unreferenced,
  deduplicated blob at worst.
- A preview runs the issue on a clone and journals nothing: the posting,
  the total, the number it would take and the due date (`preview_invoice`,
  `preview_bill`). Books that haven't upgraded keep the legacy shape: the
  copy is filed as "Invoice {id}.pdf" and no number is taken (migration
  item 5).
- Schema 16 adds the document columns; a line's new fields ride
  `lines_json` as its project does. `differs_from` already compares whole
  invoices, bills and parties, so it sees every new field.

8.0.6: (1) `books_written_under_older_rules_still_open` hand-writes both
new document shapes through JournalWriter and still opens; (2) a new
fixture `old-books/p4_s43_documents` was written by main d5385a7e (S4.2,
the version before this slice) through the old-books-writer harness, with
its expected.json; this version opens it and reports the same figures;
(3) see the note on R-A step 4 in the PR (the over-the-wire document write
needs S4.4's arguments; S4.2's invoicing-setting entry already covers the
feature's cut-over); (4) `documents_v2_is_its_own_feature` is green; (5) no
figure moves: no golden changed; (6) merge does not need the owner's
go-ahead; the live books refuse the new writes until he gives it.

just check green (no kernel function, Lean theorem or Ledger command, so no
`just prove` change).

swaits 98320b3018 test(store): S4.2's shapes open old books and wait for consent (P4b S4.2)
The 8.0.6 checklist for this slice, which adds fields on party.updated
(an email and two default terms) and the invoicing settings it guards:

1. books_written_under_older_rules_still_open now hand-writes a party's
   email and terms and an invoicing setting through JournalWriter, and the
   books still open, verify and replay them.
2. A new old-books fixture, p4_s42_settings_parties, was written by the
   version before this slice (1bfce915, through the old-books-writer
   harness) with a party, a vendor, two posted entries and three settings,
   and its expected.json from that version's code. This version opens it,
   verifies it and reports its figures identically.
3. books_p2_served_cut_over_whole gains a refused invoicing setting before
   the go-ahead; the same call succeeds after it.
4. documents_v2_is_its_own_feature: books that declared every earlier
   feature stop at its declaration as newer, wait for the upgrade, and
   name exactly it in the upgrade.
No figure moves (item 5): settings and party facts enter no report.

Merge does not need the owner's go-ahead; the live books refuse the new
party and setting writes with the upgrade remedy until he gives it.
2026-10-27 03:44:24 -06:00
swaits 13282cf80e feat(arap): terms, numbers and line accounts in the core (P4b S4.1)
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.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 d7fa16e974 feat(arap)!: documents read their figures from standing lines; control accounts
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
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.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 3a9aa92315 P3: the books' format moves only with the owner's go-ahead (D-39)
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.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 a7f3cc09a9 P3: odd cents split the same running way everywhere (defect 17, D-38)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Members' shares of earnings are split cumulatively by largest remainder in
the closes, the members' equity statement, the K-1 worksheet and the
viewer, so a member's capital on a given day never moves by a cent when its
month is later closed. Old closes replay as they were; the first P3 close
carries any true-up. Feature members_cumulative. Kani and Lean proofs of
the bounded drift; bookspec examples.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 c587593d78 P1: the books keep how they are kept
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.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 8693d5a3f5 MCP: short connect text, a handbook, tool annotations, safe local imports
- The 13K-character instructions (clients cut them short) become a
  connect text of at most 1,400 characters whose first 512 stand alone,
  plus books.handbook and books://handbook/{section}: the old guidance by
  section, with no helper commands, home paths, pull requests or
  file-reading suggestions (tool_text_lint).
- Every tool has a title and read-only/destructive hints; no
  requiresUserInteraction anywhere (owner decision 2026-10-16).
- books.import_local_file reads only regular files inside the import
  roots (the downloads folder by default, or --import-root), never the
  data dir, books dir, vault or the key's folder, no symlink escapes or
  hard links, and the file opened must be the file checked.
- The store lock is a tokio mutex taken off the runtime threads.
- get_info refreshes settings first; a bare books://digest reads.

Review fixes (P0 review, 2026-10-16):
- Fail closed: a tokio mutex never poisons and spawn_blocking caught the
  panic, so after a panic mid-mutation the server kept serving a Store
  behind its journal. A panic (the task, or while holding the store)
  now stops the shared store; every later request on every session is
  refused with a plain message; a restart re-verifies the journal. The
  join error goes through redact_refusal and never carries the panic's
  text.
- books.set_w9 w9_file_path read any path (a link named w9.pdf to the
  vault key was stored and get_w9 wrote it out): it now goes through the
  import roots' lockdown, its type judged on the canonical path.
- Sealed even inside a root: the key file in force, where a linked one
  leads, both folders, and the default key folder whatever the settings
  say. Refusals check the roots first, so outside them every path gets
  one message (no probing what exists); inside, other books-dir files say
  to copy them out first.
- The open is O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK (a pipe swapped in after the check
  can't hang a thread) and must match the checked file's device and
  inode. New dependency: libc (unix only), for those two open flags,
  which std doesn't name.
- Default import roots are the downloads folder only (the plan); files
  with full TINs (get_w9, vendor_1099 include_tins, the CPA package with
  TINs) are never written into an import root, and the server refuses to
  import any file it wrote with TINs (by SHA-256).
- set_tin and set_w9 overwrite vault records: destructive_hint = true;
  annotations_complete pins the key tools' hints. The read-only hint is
  checked in behaviour on every spec_mcp call (journal and data-dir files
  unchanged).
- Text: the connect text names the settings file as the one local file
  to edit, says every entry balances on real accounts and names its
  party, says invoice/bill/payment/payroll tools post unchecked, rewords
  the exemptions, and shows the company name as one plain line; the
  handbook takes section "all", lists its ids in the schema and says to
  read contract first; books.settings drops the config.json path and no
  error names the data dir or the key file. tool_text_lint covers the
  whole tool JSON and resources and bans git/commit/FL-0001; tool
  descriptions over 700 characters are pinned to today's eight (P5).
- digest: an empty since= is bare; the default date is pinned on every
  day of a month.

Round-2 review fixes (2026-10-16):
- TIN files (B-26): the in-memory, per-session set of TIN-file hashes
  became one registry beside the vault (vault/tin-files.sha256, hashes
  only), shared by every session and every later server. It holds the
  W-9 set_w9 reads (recorded as read), get_w9 copies, 1099 worksheets
  with TINs, CPA packages with TINs and each file in one that holds a
  TIN; a file is recorded before it is written, and a failure refuses.
  import_local_file, attach_receipt and file_document (base64 was never
  checked) refuse a recorded file, and a text file (by type, name, or
  UTF-8/UTF-16 decoding) holding a full TIN. Not caught: an altered
  binary copy; the docs say so (P2/P7 remove the path tools).
- The text check is narrow (owner/engineer decision, 2026-10-16: bank
  exports are filed for reconciliation, and has_full_tin's "nine digits
  however separated" refused their routing numbers, long references and
  dates run into amounts). Text is refused when it holds (a) a TIN the
  vault holds for a party, anywhere, as nine digits, 3-2-4 joined by
  hyphens, spaces or dots, or 2-7 joined by a hyphen or space, compared
  on the server against the decrypted vault and never returned or
  logged (a vault that can't be opened leaves (b)); or (b) a stand-alone
  printed SSN (123-45-6789) or EIN (12-3456789) shape: no digit, and no
  hyphen or dot followed by a digit, beside it. Full-width digits and
  Unicode hyphens and spaces read as ASCII. has_full_tin still guards
  refusals and results (redact_refusal). Known limit, for P7: a refusal
  under (a) tells the agent a text it chose holds a vault TIN.
  New dependency: zeroize in ledger-mcp (already in the workspace
  through ledger-vault, same major version), so the vault's TINs decoded
  for the scan are wiped from memory on drop as the vault's own are.
- Mutation testing of the final P0 diff (docs/testing.md): tests for
  each law a survivor broke (handbook titles, a dropped default root, a
  .jpg W-9, the waker, the walk's folder flags against a link and a
  pipe, the 40-link limit, save paths refused as such, the package
  marking only its TIN files, a registry that can't be read, text types,
  the short receipt rule's counts and a 12-character code). Simpler
  code where only a race could tell: inspect places an existing path by
  canonicalize itself (no second comparison), read_checked's read limit
  is its one size check, openat fails on -1 as specified. The 25 MiB
  upload test removes its 50 MB of books however it ends.
- The GUI's stale-rule prompt no longer says to open a pull request: it
  asks the agent to find the figure from the rule's official authority,
  confirm it with the human, pass it explicitly, and tell the human so it
  can be reported upstream (as the handbook says); a lib test pins it and
  bans files, git, GitHub and pull requests from every attention prompt.
- Import roots (local_files.rs INVARIANT 0): XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
  made $HOME (or /) the root. No root may be /, the home folder or hold
  it, or hold the books, data dir, vault or a key: a named one stops the
  server at startup, a default one is dropped; the default falls back to
  ~/Downloads only if that is a real folder other than $HOME; with no
  root, an import says so.
- The read is a component walk from / with openat(O_NOFOLLOW |
  O_DIRECTORY) per folder and O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK for the file, so a
  folder swapped for a link after the check fails; no step may land on a
  protected inode (one renamed into a root); dev/ino and nlink stay. No
  /proc. Portable to macOS. (libc's openat, two small unsafe blocks.)
- One refusal for missing, dangling and outside paths: resolved()
  follows every link, dangling ones too, so a link's target existing or
  not no longer changes the answer.
- Sealing: the key files (in force, default) and their targets always;
  their folders only when not $HOME, not a root, not holding a root; and
  ~/.config/wanderbooks whatever XDG_CONFIG_HOME says.
- Agent text (I-12): RuleNotKnown names the authority (IRS, with its
  address) and says to tell the human, never a repo path, PR or GitHub;
  the digest's stale_rules drop the repo catalog and path for it; vault,
  outside-books, STOPPED and local-file refusals name no git, path or
  flag. tool_text_lint bans docs/, .md, /home, data dir, --data-dir,
  --import-root, vault.key, .jsonl, sqlite, .gitignore, github, pull
  request, and also lints every error template (scanned from source),
  built error texts, and the server's refusal constants.
- The receipt rule told (ReceiptPolicy::rule) is the one enforced: the
  exact threshold in the base currency (no "$", no rounding), required
  and exempt accounts, reversals exempt; the connect text fits 1,400
  characters by dropping reasons, then codes, never the rule.
- The connect text follows the parties setting; "offer books.digest"
  everywhere. shown_name drops Unicode format characters (bidi, zero
  width).
- read_only_tools_change_nothing compares file contents, the database
  by every row, the vault and the settings file (raw database bytes did
  not change either; rows are the stable comparison).
- import_local_file takes the name and type from the canonical path;
  the digest's journal repair says when the tail was set aside, not the
  journal's file name; "version-history messages" back in the TIN rule;
  openWorldHint false on every tool, pinned in annotations_complete.
- Outside the MCP crate, for the same texts: ledger-core's DatedRule
  gains `authority` (the statute or publication with its address) and
  RuleNotKnown carries it; ledger-store's "sqlite error" reads "database
  error"; ledger-config's ReceiptPolicy::rule takes the base currency.
  New dev-dependency: rusqlite in ledger-mcp (already in the workspace,
  same version and features as ledger-store), to read the database's
  rows in read_only_tools_change_nothing.
- The filing scan is no TIN oracle (tin_files.rs INVARIANT 4): text
  holding more than two TIN-shaped numbers (any rendering rule (a)
  reads) that end in a known TIN's last four (the books' TIN and W-9
  facts, via known_tin_last4, before the vault is opened; then the
  vault's own) is refused with TIN_PROBE, the same words whether or not
  one is the vault's TIN; only one or two candidates are compared
  against the vault. Tests: unit
  text_probing_for_a_tin_is_refused_alike_whether_or_not_it_holds_it,
  one_or_two_candidates_are_compared_against_the_vault; over HTTP
  text_probing_for_a_tin_is_refused_alike_by_every_filing_tool.

Plan: plan/served.md P0, section 6 "Immediate hole (P0)", 4.1, 4.3, 4.9.

Review round 3. S1: a panic stops the server for every session, so no
input may reach one. Dates are four-digit years (new ledger_core::
calendar, 0001-01-01..9999-12-31): the MCP's parse_date is strict
YYYY-MM-DD, periods are bounded, last_day_of_month returns a refusal
(server and store); schedules, assets, recurring entries, periods,
documents, disposals and entries refuse dates outside the calendar, and
replay refuses such journal dates. Every amount a command takes is at
most a line's (draft lines by size, document lines, payouts, payroll,
statements, shares, tax basis, proceeds, recurring templates), on
replay too, so sums are exact; the 1099 vendor part and the K-1
property share use checked products (TooLargeToCompute); a recurring
run makes at most 1,000 drafts. tests/hostile_args.rs drives every tool
with schema-derived hostile arguments and every resource with generated
URIs, asserting the server never stops; the audit's panics are pinned.
S2: a `.` or `..` path name is refused as NO_SUCH_FILE up front. S3:
NUL-interleaved UTF-16 without a byte-order mark is scanned both ways.
S4: resource-read refusals are TIN-redacted. S5: set_w9 records its W-9
only once the call passes every check, just before the vault write.
S8: idempotentHint only on verify, run_depreciation, run_schedules,
run_recurring, set_party_roles (a repeat leaves journal and vault
alone; spec_vault checks every candidate twice); every tool's hints
pinned in one table. C1: books.settings lists receipt_required_accounts
and receipt_exempt_accounts uncut. C2: the default company name reads
"a new company". C3: the parties rule names no-party reasons. C4/C5:
the handbook names the settings file only as books.settings' books_toml,
and restores "check books.digest and offer it". C6: an import root
inside the books, data dir or vault is refused at startup. The lint
catches `just` however it ends and where the books are;
digest_resource_bare_reads reads the server's month.

Review round 4 (2026-10-17): round 3's bounds ran in replay too, so
journals main wrote and reopened (an entry dated 0000-06-01 or
+10000-01-01, a draft line of 2e15, an asset ending past 9999, a basis
or share past the line limit, sub-cent document and payroll lines) no
longer opened. Posted is forever: the bounds are the commands' only.
- Replay applies main's rule exactly: parse_date takes any date chrono
  reads; replay_add_line(_fx) has no size bound (add_line/add_line_fx
  do); replay_register_asset/correct_asset (chrono overflow only),
  replay_set_asset_tax_basis (check_journaled), replay_set_entry_parties
  (check_shares_journaled), replay_register_recurring
  (validate_recurring_journaled), replay_register_schedule (months 1 to
  600), replay_create_period (order only), replay_dispose_asset, and no
  line, date, payment or payroll range checks in replay_invoice/bill,
  their payments and replay_payroll_run.
- Derived figures over such books refuse (TooLargeToCompute,
  DateOutOfRange), never panic: amortization plans, depreciation into
  chrono's last month (and the true-up for lives past 9999), intervals,
  document totals and aging, net pay and payroll plans, money flows and
  share resolution, the asset register, receipt-policy debits; the MCP
  tools and the viewer show what can't be computed.
- tests/fixtures/old-books: the review's 13 journals, its control and 15
  more edges, written by main's Store API with main's figures
  (expected.json); every one opens in the writer and the viewer to those
  figures, every derived figure computes or refuses, every MCP tool and
  GUI page answers; hostile_args restarts the server after each
  property; each bound has a command/replay test pair.

Final review: a schedule's plan refuses a total of 10^26 or more
(TooLargeToCompute) instead of letting Decimal round its cents silently,
and a null `remaining` in the schedule output is always explained by
plan_error. Replay is unaffected: no journaled schedule month can belong
to a total that large (the line limit bounds every posted month).
