Owner, 2026-10-19: full color-scheme support for the viewer, the top
Neovim-style schemes, about twenty families each with a flyout of all its
variants, a light/dark/all filter, Ayu included, alphabetical, a whole row
to click.
- The sidebar's corner button (the light/dark toggle before) opens the
menu: the filter, then, alphabetically and all on screen at once (in
columns in a short window), Ayu, Catppuccin, Cyberdream, Dracula,
Everforest, GitHub, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Material, Melange, Monokai Pro,
Night Owl, Nightfox, Nord, One Dark, Oxocarbon, Rosé Pine, Solarized,
Sonokai, Tokyo Night and Wanderbooks (the viewer's own Light and Dark):
80 schemes, each variant a row with a strip of its colors.
- Colors from each scheme's official source, checked value by value
(docs/color-schemes.md; the table names the sources).
- Every palette, the viewer's own included, keeps every text color
(figures, gains and losses, warnings, links, secondary and faint text)
at WCAG AA (4.5:1) on every ground it sits on, soft fills included; a
color that falls short keeps its hue and only changes lightness. Text,
secondary and faint text stay apart (each 1.2 times the next), gains,
losses and text and the charts' series shown together stay plainly
different (CIE76 ΔE 20).
- The scheme sets both egui styles and pins its mode, so the system
turning light or dark changes nothing (it made figures unreadable).
- Preferences now live in the platform's place for app settings
($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wanderbooks-viewer on Linux), not eframe's default,
which was $XDG_DATA_HOME/wanderbooks: the data root's own place. The
old file is moved once.
- Tests: every page of thirteen painted in all 80 schemes, the same words
in the same places, each text readable on what was painted under it;
the menu's order, reach and whole-row clicks in a tall and a short
window; the system flip; preferences restored. Two review rounds.

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).

The owner, 2026-10-18: one app to simplify installing and updating.
One wanderbooks executable whose modes run as separate processes; the
books open while the app, an agent session (its stdio bridge), a serve
terminal or a CLI command holds them, and close after the last (still
no background service); a signed, notarized dmg and a per-user Windows
installer that update themselves, AUR, apt, dnf and a self-updating
AppImage on Linux. New section 3.9 (leases, the helper's clean host
start, local sockets instead of TCP, restarts, one version at a time,
the server's format-upgrade gate); P2, P11 and the decisions follow.
Five review rounds, the last clean.

The owner, 2026-10-18: no background service for now. wanderbooks serve
runs in a terminal (server plus archive process) until stopped; nothing
is installed to run in the background. P2's scope, cutover, tests,
limitations, user flows and P11 follow.

The first company's P1 cutover found the K-1 worksheet printing a
member's share as typed: "50%" read from a settings file printed
0.50, the same share kept by the books as 0.5 printed 0.5. Shares now
print at least two places whatever their spelling.
Every company document now goes into the books (D-20, owner,
2026-10-17), and formation papers and plans print the company's EIN,
which the filing scan refused as a printed TIN. It now passes the
company's own EIN, as its settings hold it, printed 2-7, and nothing
else; a vault TIN is still refused (rules.md B-26). Its refusal no
longer suggests converting a file to get past it.
plan/served.md: D-20; correcting a record's source without changing
its words (P5).

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.

Owner, 2026-10-17. D-19 settled: one installer and updater per
system; server, viewer and CLI ship together but stay separate
programs; no launcher; the viewer gains back up, export, restore and
new books (the last two through the server). P2 gains verified,
non-destructive restore onto new or existing installs, and restore
drills.

plan/served.md: defect 21 (found in P0: the CPA package's
general-journal.iif ignores as_of, so an as-of package includes entries
dated after it; its xlsx and csv files respect it) joins the defect
count, P3 beside defect 7, and the P10 re-run; 5.6 records that the
first company's goldens are kept privately in its own books dir
(export_cpa_package zips plus a canonical JSON form made by its
goldens/canon.py, which normalizes per-export text, with the comparison
protocol in its README), not in this public repo, by decision.
plan/STATUS.md: P0 is in final review.
Review round 3: STATUS says what is true (P0 in final review, the
mutation runs done).
Adds defect 22 (depreciation through an asset's final month plugs to
the full amount mid-month) to P3 and to the P10 re-audit.

The 2026-10-16 audit of the first company's books found an agent reading
the journal file directly, the instructions truncated by clients, and 20
engine defects. plan/served.md is the plan to fix all of it: the books
become a server that owns its data, every agent reaches them only
through the MCP from any directory or client, settings and conventions
move into the journal, and the scaffold goes away. Phases P0-P10, ending
with a full re-audit through the MCP alone.
Chosen from three independent designs by a three-judge panel, then
revised for the owner's decisions: books kept as the user in a private
data root (advisory isolation, labelled so; enforcement is the self-host
deployment), the viewer reads the data directly, no added permission
prompts, self-hosting now and multi-tenant hosting later.
