tests/http_concurrency.rs: six HTTP clients at once against one store
(main.rs serve_http shares it): every bare entry refused at threshold
0.00, every receipted one posted, each contested draft posted exactly
once, books verify and balance, a restart replays the same head.
spec_mcp.rs: the response timeout is 180 s (a mutation run's jobs
contend for a synced disk; the baseline timed out at 30 s), and
MCP_CASES sets the state machine's cases (just mutants-mcp uses 16).

report_to_xlsx gains INVARIANTS 4-6 (header block, right-aligned amount
headings, spacer and account spacing, footer one empty row down, rules
exactly where rule_above says, exact text grouped in threes), tested by
reading the workbook's styles, merges and column widths. The general
ledger's footer now sits one empty row down like the other sheets.
Also killed: IIF transliteration arms, tax summary's optional sections,
and day-equals-month bank dates. `just mutants-import`, weekly in CI.

`just mutants-store` (64 random cases per mutant, temp books on a RAM
disk in CI) runs beside the core's weekly; fuzz_store_replay joins the
weekly fuzz matrix. docs/testing.md lists the spec-blind store suite,
the refusal property's converse law, and the replay fuzz oracles.

benches/store.rs (criterion, in `just bench`): open 249 ms, viewer load
616 ms, full verify 809 ms, post one entry (four synced appends) 62 ms.
The books are built on a temp dir and copied under target/ so every
sync hits a real disk. Baselines in docs/testing.md; no budget, by
decision.

Max-testing pass, step 8. The final mutation run left 112 survivors
(89% caught). Three agents triaged them by file, by the playbook's
table: spec the boundary then test it, a law rather than one more
pinned value, assert the real value, never weaken a test. Every expected
value is hand-computed.
- reports.rs (35): 28 killed, chiefly cash flow (inclusive start date,
each line's sign and label, a loss on disposal moving to investing,
financing designation), general ledger and members' equity date
boundaries, and the balanced() checks (a real report nudged by a cent
must stop balancing). 7 equivalent: four >/>= after an early return on
zero; two in dead code (removed in this commit); one sign of a zero
cleaned on output.
- ledger.rs, kernel.rs, journal.rs, money.rs (52, plus one new): 49
killed, including every replay_* mutant at the core level (ids,
accumulation, status, vendor tags, out-of-order refusal), FX rates,
0%/100% deductible boundaries, a dividend sweep with no income, the
legacy member rounding at close, a bill paid on its own date, a
liability-account reconciliation, mixed-currency entries (via serde),
ISO 4217 minor units, Display/Debug. 3 equivalent: zero refused before
a </<= check; a period whose end is in a closed period refused earlier;
columns(0).
- schedules, tax, analysis, payouts, assets, form1099 (25): 23 killed
(schedule length 1-600, recurring end on its start, frequency parsing
and stepping, cost of goods in tax net, a zero payout, disposal on the
purchase date, quarter starts, labels); 2 equivalent (zero adds zero;
days_held is provably >= 1).
Two small production cleanups the triage surfaced: kernel::columns(0)
returned a negative-zero credit that would print "-0" (regression
a_zero_movement_has_no_negative_zero_column, shown to fail before); and
cash_flow computed a book value it never used.
Spec lines added where a boundary wasn't specified (cash flow's
inclusive start and line signs, members' equity start date, payout with
no deposit, disposal on the purchase date, bill paid on its own date).
`just mutants` now runs core and store tests (the store's replay tests),
not the whole workspace, which rebuilt the viewer for every mutant.

Max-testing pass, ranks 4-6 and step 9 for ledger-core.
Fuzzing (rank 4): fuzz_op_sequence now drives balanced pairs, foreign
lines, periods, closes, and amounts from raw decimal bits, and asserts
the books stay valid (TB balances, posted entries validate, no draft in
a closed period); new fuzz_core_serde (every persisted core type
round-trips) and fuzz_store_open (a corrupt journal is an error, never a
panic); hangs count (-timeout=10). 54M executions; one crash:
- fuzz_journal_line: a number too big for an integer parsed as a float,
and its canonical form (which the hash chain covers) re-canonicalized
differently. The journal never holds floats (R-2), so the reader now
refuses them (JournalLine::parse, used by every journal reader);
regression a_journal_line_with_a_float_is_refused. Checked first: the
real books' journal has none. Rerun: 13.2M executions, clean.
Seeds in fuzz/seeds/ (synthetic, minimal); the grown corpora stay out of
git. `just fuzz <target> <seconds>`.
Miri (rank 4): the core's unit, bridge, and invariant tests under Miri
(our code has no unsafe; rust_decimal and chrono do): no undefined
behavior. `just miri`. A pinned nightly (nightly-2026-10-01, with miri)
is now in mise.toml.
Benchmarks (rank 6): criterion (new dev-dependency: the playbook's Rust
benchmark tool; none existed) in benches/books.rs; baselines in
docs/testing.md. The store's per-command rehearsal clone costs ~1 ms at
10k entries. No budget yet, so nothing gates on them. `just bench`.
CI: .github/workflows/check.yml runs `just check` on every push;
scheduled.yml runs proofs, the GnuCash oracle, fuzzing, and mutation
weekly. Tools come from mise.toml.
docs/testing.md: every layer, its oracle rank, command, runtime, and
gate; benchmark baselines; the ASSUMED invariants for Stephen to reject;
the gap list with triggers. docs/oracle.md's fuzzing paragraph had
claimed persistent corpora that didn't exist; corrected.
Also: ledger-import now inherits the workspace lints (nightly cargo
warned).

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.

Max-testing pass, step 2: every domain decision in ledger.rs and
reports.rs gets a GOAL / SOURCE / INVARIANTS / SCENARIOS block in its
doc comment: post_entry, try_create_entry, close_period_to,
mark_cleared, reconciliation_report, account_balance, create_invoice,
create_bill, receive_payment, pay_bill, register_asset, dispose_asset,
run_payroll, remit_payroll_taxes, set_line_class, set_entry_vendor;
trial_balance(_as_of), profit_and_loss_for_period, balance_sheet_as_of,
general_ledger, members_equity, cash_flow, profit_and_loss_by_class,
snapshot. Sources trace to docs/spec/rules.md (and through it to
Pacioli, the IRS, FASB); what no document settles is marked CONVENTION,
DECISION, or ASSUMED for Stephen to confirm. The specs are the input to
spec-blind test writing (the next step): tests derived from the spec
alone, never from the code.
Also: rustdoc now runs in `just check` with -D warnings; fixed the seven
existing broken intra-doc links and one bare URL.

The money arithmetic every invariant rests on now lives in one kernel,
ledger-core/src/kernel.rs: signing a line, totals, net, per-account
movements, reversal, normal balances, trial-balance columns, closing
lines, and the rounding plug for member splits. It is generic over a
checked `Amount` trait. The engine runs it on Decimal (validate,
movements, reverse_entry, account_balance, close_period_to, allocate,
trial_balance): there is one copy of the arithmetic, and it is the one
under proof.
Three layers, docs/verification.md maps every law to its proofs:
- Kani (src/proofs.rs): 17 harnesses prove the kernel at i64 for every
input up to 4 lines over 3 accounts. An entry is accepted exactly
when it is two or more positive, in-range lines whose debits equal
credits; accepted entries net to zero; grouping by account loses
nothing; a reversal mirrors and cancels its original; trial-balance
columns balance iff the books net to zero; closing lines zero their
accounts and a close balances however the net is split; the plug
makes parts sum to the whole. No panics, no overflow. kani::cover!
shows the proofs are not vacuous.
- Lean 4 (verify/lean): 24 headline theorems for books of any size. The
ledger is a state machine (add account, draft, post, reverse, open,
close), and in every reachable state the books net to zero, the trial
balance balances (as of any date), and the accounting equation holds.
Posting only appends ("posted is forever"), closed periods are
frozen, a close zeroes revenue and expenses and credits exactly the net
income, and period statements add up. Audit.lean shows standard axioms
only, no sorry.
- Bridge (tests/kernel_bridge.rs): the Decimal and i64 kernels agree.
What the proofs found (each one missed by every test, fuzzer, and
mutant):
- The engine accepted negative line amounts; only MCP refused them. Now
NegativeAmountLine: direction is the side's job.
- Summing lines near Decimal::MAX panicked. Lines are now capped at one
quadrillion and ten decimal places (AmountOutOfRange), which keeps
every realistic sum exact, and the kernel's sums are checked.
- FX conversion (foreign_amount * fx_rate) could panic the same way; it
is now a checked multiply.
- Kani itself: 0.68 mis-models symbolic-length copy_from_slice
(model-checking/kani#4904) and reported a reversal that doesn't net to
zero. The counterexample, replayed natively, passes, and a 15-line
standalone crate reproduces the bug. Harnesses avoid bulk copies, and
a should_panic canary will flag the upstream fix.
`just prove` runs it all (Kani memory- and time-capped, fails on an
unsatisfiable cover or a non-standard Lean axiom). AGENTS.md now makes
formal coverage part of every core change.
Also, docs: GnuCash is *an* oracle, never *the* oracle (Stephen). The
spec is accounting principles, proved. Golden files are recomputed from
principles. External implementations (GnuCash, the old Sheet, QBO/Xero)
are cross-checks whose disagreements get adjudicated, never obeyed.
docs/oracle.md gains "Who is right"; AGENTS, README, architecture,
roadmap, parity, and STATUS are reworded to match.

books.show asks the viewer to open an entry, an account register, a
report (dates, month/quarter/year columns, prior-period or prior-year
comparison), a document, a search, or a page. The request lives outside
the books (runtime dir, keyed by data dir, written atomically); the
viewer watches it beside the journal and applies books before
navigating. 66 tools.
Site: the dashboard is the hero again; 'Here's what using it looks like'
shows the session beside the viewer, ending in books.show; the cash page
replaces the repeated overview lower down.

Store::verify compares the whole SQLite projection, every table row for
row, against a fresh projection of the journal; verify_and_heal rebuilds a
drifted database (keeping the old file) at every server start and via the
new books.verify tool, which also re-hashes every blob. The GUI checks the
server's database read-only and every stored file, and shows the result.
rebuild() also drops stale WAL/SHM files.
