ledger_store::root: one private folder for every book, found without the
environment (--root, else the root setup recorded in a file only this
account can write, else the platform default under the home from the
password database). Every folder made 0700, files 0600; a root that is a
link, another user's, open to others, unmarked, or under a folder another
user could swap is refused; no error names it. Setup keeps a recorded
root, never makes a second root or moves books while one holds any, and
leaves a folder holding other things untouched. Books are created and
adopted one at a time; adoption reads the source under its writer lock
(changing nothing in it), copies into staging, re-hashes every stored
file against its name, checks every named file is there, opens and
verifies the copy with the source's head, imports settings for books
that keep none, syncs, and only then renames it into place.
wanderbooks setup makes the root and never prints where it is. Three
review rounds; mutation on the diff (docs/testing.md).

The server and the viewer are libraries with run(prog, args), returning
Exit(code) instead of ending the process; ledger-mcp and ledger-gui are
one-line shims (the live books keep using them until the cutover).
wanderbooks dispatches dev-stdio and gui to them in-process; a mode must
come first and owns its flags. The gui feature (default) leaves the
viewer out of the server-only build, which just server-only builds,
clippies, tests, and checks for window libraries. The viewer's mutation
recipe is retired (owner, 2026-10-18); its two musts are tested
directly. Two review rounds; mutation on the diff (docs/testing.md).

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.

- core: ControlAccount keys, Ledger::assign_role/check_assign_role/role_account (rules.md B-23): one account per role, of the role's type, balance sheet roles move only when empty; invoices, bills, payroll, remittance, and closes post to the assigned account; an assigned role frees its default code for renumbering
- store: role.assigned journaled and replayed (strict account_id)
- mcp: settings.rs reloads by content at the start of each request, keeps the last good settings on a broken edit; books.settings with chart problems; digest settings_problems; instructions say when to edit the toml
- viewer: journal text for role.assigned
- cli: full example wanderbooks.toml, tested to load with every example uncommented
- tests: spec_roles.rs (25, spec-blind), store roles.rs (6), MCP reload/problems/roles, settings unit tests

wanderbooks new DIR installs the server and GUI if missing, writes the
books dir (AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md, wanderbooks.toml, justfile, .mcp.json,
.claude/settings.json approving the server), commits, and starts claude
onboarding. install.sh: Rust + cargo install + wanderbooks new in one
line. The tax summary labels its net when accounts are uncategorized.
