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.

Accounting reason: the receipt rule (Pub. 583, Rev. Proc. 98-25: the
books must be demonstrably supported by the records) was decided in
three places that could disagree: the server's post, the digest, and a
string match on a journal-event origin in the viewer. ledger_core::
evidence::requirement is now the one decision: Required (with why) or
Exempt (with the source). A reversal needs no receipt of its own (its
evidence is its original's, D-47, D-12); neither do a closing entry, a
schedule month's or a depreciation run's posting, a disposal, a
document's entry, a payroll run or its remittance. The ledger learned
the two origins it could not see (a disposal, a remittance) from the
events that already name their entry, live and on replay. A split group
counts for a draft only: a posted entry's decision was made when it
posted.
The policy moved with it (evidence::Policy; ReceiptPolicy in
ledger-config keeps the words and delegates). Store::post_entry_checked
refuses a covered draft with no receipt (StoreError::ReceiptRequired,
which the MCP maps to the unchanged receipt_required error);
Store::post_entry stays the primitive that commands and fixtures post
through, since ~176 call sites post hand entries with no receipt. The
viewer's missing_receipt calls requirement; its string match is gone.

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.

Accounting reason: an entry that is finished but waits on its receipt is
a different thing from one still being built, and a draft that will
never post must have a way out, or the period that holds it open can
never close (the Lean hypothesis hdrafts). JournalEntry gains
DraftState { Building, AwaitingEvidence { note } }; Ledger gains
set_draft_state (a note: no line, balance or report moves),
discard_draft (a draft only; a posted entry is never removed, B-8; ids
are never reused; what was recorded about the draft goes with it) and
posted_seq (the journal line that posted an entry, for the digest's
since_seq). Lean Step.discard with its preservation proof and three
theorems (a discard moves no figure, removes only its draft, and
unblocks a close), listed in Audit.lean.
Tests: discard_unblocks_close (ledger-core invariants).

bookspec/spec holds the first edition: the model and the five laws
(00-model.md) and one file per area, each B-rule a section with its
status, a MUST/MAY statement, sources pinned either to a vendored source
with a verbatim quotation or to an exact external paragraph, its symbolic
form, its examples and its applicability. B-39, B-40, B-43 and B-45 are
reserved sections (allocated, not yet stated in rules.md); B-44 is stated
in rules.md and now carries its bookspec id and CONVENTION status.
Eight new examples show the laws that had none, each figure worked by
hand: an unbalanced entry is refused (Pacioli ch. 36, Pub. 583), a
negative or zero line is refused, a fraction of a cent is refused (ISO
4217), a child account takes its parent's type, the trial balance and the
accounting equation on one small book (cash 6550.25 = loan 2000 + capital
5000 + (sales 750.50 - rent 1200.25)), a reversal leaves the original
standing and a second reversal is refused, a close sweeps revenue and
expenses into Retained Earnings (3999) and the closed quarter takes no
late entry, and cents add exactly. The refusal vocabulary gains
unbalanced, negative_amount, zero_amount, too_few_lines,
finer_than_minor_unit, parent_type_mismatch, already_reversed and
period_closed; a refused entry may carry a non-positive amount.
The checker's spec.rs fails the build on a rule without its section, a
statement without MUST/SHOULD/MAY, a pin that is not verbatim in its
vendored source, examples that differ from the catalogue, or more than 60
pages.

Under P6's dedup (one record per bytes) the adapter's constant letter
made the example's second write-off of the same invoice reuse the first
write-off's record, which a receipt's one-entry rule (B-38) refuses, and
the write-off now refuses that before anything is journaled (the S7/P6
integration fix). The example's two write-offs have two notices, which
is what it describes.

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).

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.

settle_posts_a_document_step), books.receive_payment and books.pay_bill
with applications, books.bills_due, the agings' detail and tie-out, the
aging exports and the CPA package's aging CSVs, the handlers in
tools/settlements.rs. Twelve files conflicted with the S4.4 and S5
merges, resolved as plan 8.0.2 says: both routers; both test appends
(the shared match arm in arap_standing.rs spliced into both tests; the
shared `.unwrap()` in store.rs); the scope table at 124; one
invoices-and-bills handbook (S5's send step 1 with S6's steps 2, 3, 5
and procedures) registered once; docs/mcp-interface.md with S4.4's
create docs and S6's payment docs; S5's law renumbered 35 and S6's 36
(S1's is 34); the parity rows and sections of both. S6's wire tests
create their bills as S4.4's contract now requires (confirmed, the
vendor's number, a line account, the vendor's invoice uploaded) and live
in their own module beside S4.4's tests.

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.
One payment had to name one document and could take no discount or
processor fee, so paying several invoices from one deposit meant several
entries and the fee had nowhere to go. This adds the kernel's exact
settlement arithmetic (applications total, net deposit), a Ledger::settle
that posts one entry for a customer's or vendor's documents, and the gross
method and gross fee A-8/A-4 chose.
- kernel::settle: sum(cash)+sum(discounts)=applications, sum(cash)-fee=
deposit, None on overflow or a negative deposit. Kani settle_is_exact
plus the Decimal bridge.
- Ledger::settle / settlement_lines: one party and one kind per
settlement, one application per document, each cash+discount within
payment_room; a discount within the terms (discount_max and
discount_by) needs no reason, a larger or later one does; a bill with
an asset line is refused with D-49's remedy; a fee is a customer
payment's only and posts gross.
- Rows are payment lines in application order, then discount lines, the
fee line and the cash line, so a journaled event's line indices are
stable; replay tags exactly the line an event names and leaves an
unmatched line unattached (never refuses).
- receive_payment_with and pay_bill_with become one-application calls.
- Roles: sales_allowances (4100), purchase_discounts (6995) and
payment_processing_fees (6060), constants used on demand but not added
to control_accounts() (existing charts may use those codes for other
things).
- Lean: settle posts through Step.document, so settle_posts_a_document_step
and settle_unattached, no new constructor; both in Audit.lean.
- Core tests: bill_on_terms_with_discount, late_discount_needs_a_reason,
discount_on_an_asset_bill_is_refused_with_the_remedy,
a_fee_posts_gross_to_receivables_and_net_to_the_bank,
a_settlement_names_its_lines_and_refuses_a_document_twice, and
equipment_bill_payment_is_investing_cash in the cash-flow suite.
- Bookspec B-42 is stated, with its id BS-arap-6; the catalogue and index
now record it as CONVENTION.
just check and just prove green.
B-41 gives the write-off its own expense role (6990 Bad Debt Expense,
8.3.4), so the pinned inventory of control roles has thirteen keys, not
twelve; the new role's key, default code and type are checked with the
rest. No other role changes.
No behaviour: the files as rustfmt leaves them after the unit's edits
(the commits before this one were made before the formatter ran), and the
Ledger::write_off spec block cites A-5 alone for the direct write-off
method (A-6 is the hand-entry refusal, not this command).
rules.md B-41 states the write-off: the direct method the owner chose
(A-5), Dr 6990 / Cr 1200 with the receivable tagged, at most what is
owed and at most the least owed from that day on (a partial write-off as
§1.166-3(a) allows), refused on cash-basis books (§1.166-1(e)), its
evidence filed in the same call (§1.166-2(a)); bills are never written
off (ASC 405-20-40-1); and a recovery is not a new movement (D-49): the
same year, reverse the write-off and record the payment; a later year, a
plain entry to a bad-debt-recoveries revenue account, the invoice staying
written off (IRC §111).
bookspec states B-41 for the first time and gives B-38 its example: two
new examples, bad-debt-direct-write-off (two partial write-offs of one
invoice, the balances and the trial balance worked by hand) and
arap-hand-control-posting-refused (a hand line an earlier version wrote
replays, the same line written today is refused). The example schema
gains the dated write_off event, lets a refused entry say so (an entry
posts whole or not at all; older and refused never combine), and its
refusal vocabulary gains untagged_control_line, B-38's control guard.
The registers: docs/architecture.md names the new tool group;
docs/receipt-store.md lists invoice.written_off and what replay does with
it; docs/parity.md records the slice (no row changes status, the floor
stands); docs/testing.md records every test and what P12 must mutate;
docs/verification.md the two Lean theorems and what they cover.
No figure moves: no golden file changed.
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.
An invoice that will not be collected comes off the receivables and is
deducted, the direct write-off method the owner chose (A-5; IRC
§166(a); Treas. Reg. §1.166-1(e), -2(a), -3(a); rules.md B-41).
Ledger::write_off posts one balanced entry, Dr 6990 Bad Debt Expense /
Cr 1200 Accounts Receivable, its receivable line tagged WriteOff so the
figures stay derived: what the invoice owes falls and what was written
off rises, and a reversal re-instates it without a new movement (D-49).
The amount is at most what is owed, and at most the least owed on any
day from the write-off's on: a later payment can't leave the invoice
owing less than nothing (B-38 INVARIANT 2). A partial write-off is
allowed, as §1.166-3(a) allows to the extent charged off. Cash-basis
books refuse it: an invoice never counted as income has no basis to
deduct (§1.166-1(e)). The bad_debts role (6990) is a control role, so
the account is created on demand and can be assigned like the others.
The same-year recovery D-49 records is a reversal of the write-off and
then a payment; a later year is a plain entry, and needs no movement.
Tests: half_paid_rest_written_off_is_written_off,
write_off_refused_on_cash_basis, write_off_above_outstanding_refused,
write_off_then_recovery_same_year.
An invoice is issued, not edited. Without `confirmed` the create tools now
preview: the posting (with the accounts' codes, which the live chart may
not hold yet), the number it will take, its due date, terms and early
discount, warnings, and for an invoice the DRAFT copy of the PDF, handed
over as a file. Nothing is written and no number is used up. With
`confirmed` the invoice posts, takes the number the preview showed, and
files the issued copy with itself in the same call: `receipt.attached` on
its entry plus the link to the invoice, its SHA-256 in the event (A-1,
A-7, B-40). The copy the customer received is therefore the copy in the
books, and `books.document`'s re-created page can never be mistaken for
it. The result also carries a `mailto` link for a human to send it; the
books never send (A-4).
A bill keeps what the plan says a bill is: the vendor's own invoice
number, the vendor's invoice filed on its entry as its evidence, and, in
books that have declared `documents_v2`, an account on every line, so no
bill can land in General Expenses by default any more (A-9, A-10, A-13).
A vendor number entered twice is refused unless the caller says why, and
the reason is journaled with the second bill (B-40 item 4). Books that
have not declared the feature keep recording bills exactly as before, so
the owner's books keep working between units (D-39, 8.0.4).
Terms are resolved in one place and in one order: the due date given,
else the terms given, else the customer's or vendor's own default, else
the books' `invoicing.default_terms`; a document given only a due date
stores no terms, so an old-shape invoice is still written byte for byte
as before (B-39, A-13).
D-55: a party carries the owner's full contact block (phone, contact
person, billing and shipping addresses, billing email). It rides the same
`party.updated` event behind `documents_v2`, and an invoice's bill-to is
snapshotted at issue with the billing address and billing email in place
of the general ones when the party has them — `PartySnapshot::from_party`
is the one place that rule lives, so a later edit cannot change what was
sent, and the next invoice takes today's details.
Tests: the wire tests are the new `crates/ledger-cli/tests/documents.rs`
(preview writes nothing, the DRAFT copy, the issued copy's SHA-256 equals
`books.get_receipt`'s, numbers run, a bill's file and terms, the duplicate
refusal, the line-account rules, the terms fallback, the `party_id` alias
and the ambiguity it refuses, the contact block's set and clear, and the
bill-to at issue); `format_upgrade.rs` gains
`documents_v2_refused_until_consent` and the cut-over test now refuses and
then makes a document carrying a new field (8.0.6 item 3); the store
tests are `the_contact_block_round_trips_and_replays` and
`an_invoice_keeps_the_billing_details_it_was_issued_with`, and
`books_written_under_older_rules_still_open` gains a hand-written
contact-block event (8.0.6 item 1).
Merge does not need the owner's go-ahead: the live books refuse a write
that needs `documents_v2` until he gives it, and take every other write as
before (8.0.6 item 6). No figure moved: S4 moves none.
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).
The landed Terms::parse reads a date chrono reads and prints it padded, so
"Due 2026-1-5" is one value with "Due 2026-01-05", not a refusal. The
settings key still keeps one spelling; the test now asserts that
canonicalization instead of refusing the short form.
invoicing.first_number's refusal (LedgerError::FirstNumberLocked) lands
as the contract the store's check raises once invoices carry numbers
(S4.3): a series that has begun is never renumbered (B-40, A-2).
Also: the settings invariants name the number prefix's bound, update_party's
doc says which facts wait for documents_v2, and the email check no longer
reads as a single-arm match. Terms is S4.1's as it landed; this slice no
longer carries a copy.
A customer's email is copied onto an invoice's bill-to snapshot at issue,
and a party's default terms (one as our customer, one as our vendor) are
the fallback a document's due date takes when the document itself names
none (A-13, rules.md B-39). Both are journaled as party.updated facts and
guarded by documents_v2: in books that have not declared it the write is
refused with the upgrade remedy and journaling nothing, and replay gives
the same directory back.
An email must be one plain address: one @, no spaces, no full TIN (the
party text rule already refuses nine digits). Terms are typed and already
canonical, so there is no second spelling to check. A party.updated naming
a field this version does not know is now NewerJournal, never corrupt
(B-27): an older version must say update, not damage; a known field with a
malformed value is still corrupt.
Eleven settings the invoice and bill workflow reads: the number prefix and
first number, default terms, payment methods with their bank details and
QR links, a footer, the unsent and reminder day counts, the bill reminder
and discount-warning day counts, and the company's email and website that
the seller snapshot prints.
Three new kinds keep them exact: a count is a positive whole number, terms
are canonicalized through Terms so "net 30" is stored once as "Net 30"
(B-39), and a payment method list admits at most eight methods whose lines
are at most 120 characters. A routing number is nine digits, so an ach or
wire method's bank-detail lines are the one text exempt from the full-TIN
check (A-3); every other text in a method is scanned.
The keys need the documents_v2 feature (D-52): an older version doesn't
know them, and the settings replay refuses an unknown key as newer. The
constant, the known-features entry and the gate test land with this slice
(its 8.0.6 work); S4.3 adds the document write call sites and must not
redeclare them.
A settings file now exports the [invoicing] and [bills] tables, a payment
method as an inline table (never a [[payment_methods]] section that would
land outside its table), and imports them back to the same values. The
unknown-key test uses fax instead of website, which is now a setting.
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.
bookspec is a specification first: every rule normative and sourced,
every rule demonstrated by concrete examples, and any accounting engine
checked against them through one interface (D-34). This moves the
examples' schema out of the test that happened to parse them and makes
the interface explicit.
- `bookspec/checker` (its own workspace, inside this repository until
the harness is stable): `Example`, `Setup`, `Event`, `Expect`, `Query`,
`Refusal` and the TOML parser, every structure `deny_unknown_fields`,
with `Example::from_toml` checking the cross-field shape (closed lists,
exact decimal amounts, dates, one event kind, `reverses` counting from
1, the shares summing to 1, commands accepted or refused and not both).
- `Engine` (`load`, `apply`, `query`, `claims`) and `Refusal { rule,
reason }`; the refusal's rule is the bookspec identifier, so a refusal
names the rule it belongs to. `Claims` also carries the option an
engine picks for a CHOICE rule.
- `bookspec/runner` drives any `Engine` through the examples and reports
per rule: pass, fail, not claimed. It compares the answer itself; an
engine is never asked whether it agrees with itself.
- `crates/ledger-core/tests/bookspec.rs` is the wanderbooks adapter over
`Store`: the loader parses through the checker, its own checks are
unchanged, and the new `the_runner_reports_every_claimed_rule_green`
runs all 56 examples through the trait. The IIF appendix is answered
through `ledger_package::export_iif`, the code its own test checks.
- `just check` runs the bookspec workspace's fmt, clippy, rustdoc and
tests too, so an example cannot rot (D-34, Z-17).
The plan's trait has four methods and no path for an example's
`[[changes]]` (a rename, the policy, an asset correction), which post no
entry: `change` is the fifth, required so an engine cannot skip those
examples silently. This is reported to the EM as the one departure.
One money rule holds here too: an answer's figures are exact decimal
strings, never JSON numbers, so no engine can round a cent through a
float.
A taxpayer identification number can be written 123,45,6789 or
(123) 45-6789 as easily as 123-45-6789, and the scanner only knew the
second: a comma-grouped number slipped through every party field, every
refusal that quotes its input and the access log's masking, which is how
a full TIN could reach a result the books promise never shows one
(rules.md B-26, I-7).
The scanner now reads a comma or a parenthesis between a TIN's 3-2-4 or
2-7 groups, and any run of spaces counts once however long it is, so
12 3456789 is an EIN. Commas and parentheses join only those groups:
an amount's thousands separators (1,234,567.89 is 1-3-3-2) still read as
an amount, and a nine-digit D-U-N-S number stays its own setting's kind
(company.duns). The old run reading is unchanged for everything it
found, which the property asserts; replay still reads a journaled line
as P2 did (B-28).
The truth table and the ASCII-equality property pinned the old separator
set, so they were updated with it: the property is now
has_full_tin_never_forgets_a_tin (what was found before is still found).
No journal, entry or figure changes: this is a text scanner only.
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.

The tax-basis K-1 shared each entry's built-in gain, property without a
basis, prepaid at book and property distributed among the members entry
by entry, every tied odd cent to the first member: three equal odd-cent
properties contributed 50/50 left the members three cents apart.
Apply D-38's rule (the closes' cumulative largest remainder, through
kernel::apportion_cumulative): tax_capital::RunningSplit keeps each
member's exact running share, rounds the running shares afresh to the
cent and hands out the change, so no member's running share is ever a
cent from exact and tied cents alternate. A negative running whole is
rounded as its magnitude, a zero one by the sign of the whole just
split, so a run of losses mirrors its gains part for part. Exact running
shares are taken to ten places before rounding: a sum of Decimal thirds
can sit a hair under its cent (the law found 399.93 as 399.9299...).
tax_capital::entry_parts runs the splits over every posted entry from
the books' first, in date order, whatever span is asked for, with one
count per set of members with a part in the entry: a member never takes
a cent of an entry they had no part in (Item L's capital contributed is
the basis of the property that member contributed), and the count never
restarts, since its weights are each entry's own amounts, not shares.
An entry's reversal takes its original's split back out of the count
(RunningSplit::unsplit), so an entry's cents are the same in every span
and next year's beginning is this year's ending. The K-1's per-entry
lines come from k1::entry_lines, which k1_detail now uses too.
The book property each member contributed in an entry stays split entry
by entry (each member's property must stay within their own credit);
B-36 says so.
Tests: tied_odd_cents_of_property_basis_run_cumulatively (fails on the
per-entry split: 665.86 / 665.83); a_member_outside_an_entry_never_
takes_its_cents (three members; fails with one count for all members),
an_entrys_odd_cent_is_the_same_in_every_span (a reversal across the
span's start; fails with the count carried span by span or the reversal
not taken out), the_split_runs_in_date_order (fails in posting order);
the law a_running_split_never_drifts_a_cent (5,000 cases: the
largest-remainder rounding of exact integer shares, ties to the first,
and the negated run mirrored; fails with ties to the later member or a
zero running whole rounded as a gain); unit tests for one split,
alternating ties, a member outside a split, the mirror at zero, unsplit
and the thirds case; bookspec example partnership-k1-tax-basis-odd-cents.
rules.md B-36, the handbook (tracing figures), STATUS, testing.md and

The P3 cutover review's open point 2: a state's LLC filing fee, booked
to an organization-costs account (tax category organization_startup),
read as "Cash paid to suppliers and employees". B-14 rule 5 sent a
payment to class (g) only when every operating line's account was
taxes_licenses, so the account, not the payee, decided.
ASC 230-10-45-17, read in EY's guide that reproduces it (Statement of
cash flows, July 2026, p. 43; the PDF re-fetched and its SHA-256
recorded in docs/spec/sources/fasb-asc.md), lists apart "(b) Cash
payments to other suppliers and employees for other goods or services"
and "(c) Cash payments to governments for taxes, duties, fines, and
other fees or penalties". 45-25's classes name only income taxes (f)
among the latter, so the rest are (g), other operating cash payments.
A formation filing fee is rightly an organization cost (its account and
tax line), and still a payment to a government: the payee is what
45-17(c) is about.
So rule 5 now sends a payment's government part to (g): of an
operating payment the structure classes (d), what went to a party with
the government_agency or tax_agency role (the chain root's parties, so
a reversal keeps its original's class) is (g), on any account; and, as
before, a payment whose every operating line is on a taxes_licenses
account is (g). Every party a government: the whole payment. A
government and a supplier named together: the payment is split by their
resolved shares (B-35), the government's part (g), the rest (d), since
ASC 230-10-45-22 has "each separately identifiable source or each
separately identifiable use" classed "on the basis of the nature of the
underlying cash flows" (EY p. 44; quoted in fasb-asc.md; it names the
three activities, read for 45-25's classes too as a CONVENTION). The
government's part is the payment x its share / the whole, rounded half
to even to the base currency's places, the rest exact, so the line still
sums to the payment and a reversal mirrors it. Shares that don't
resolve leave the whole payment (d). One naming no party is decided by
its accounts. Receipts are untouched (a refund from a government stays
(c)). No total changes, only which operating row a payment is in.
Two limits, from the review of this change: a government selling goods
or services (postage) is 45-17(b)'s supplier "for other goods or
services", so the rule says, and the handbook tells the agent, to add
such a payee as a vendor, never with the government_agency role (the
books can't tell what a payment bought; the role says it). And payroll
keeps its structure (CONVENTION): an entry with a line on the salary
expense or a payroll payable control account, or on a pay tax category
(salaries_wages, officer_compensation, employee_benefits,
pension_profit_sharing), stays (d) whoever it names: withheld taxes
remitted are the employees' pay, and the payables mix them with the
employer's taxes, which a remittance can't tell apart. So a remittance
to the IRS is (d) as it was before this change; the employer's payroll
tax paid on its own expense account is a tax, (g).
The first company's books have this case: their state filing fee moves
from "Cash paid to suppliers and employees" to "Other operating cash
payments" at every date once its entry names the state's agency with the
government_agency role and its own entry is the one whose cash the
statement lists (paid from the bank, or on a card that is a lender's
credit, D-42, or by a member through the members' account while it is
a financing account, B-14 rule 11, the way that fee was paid);
charged to an operating-payable card, its cash leaves in the card
payment, whose payee is the bank, and it stays with suppliers.
STATUS says how to check both, and that the cutover goldens' cash-flow
snapshots will differ on the two class lines only (totals the same),
so the next cutover diff isn't read as a regression.
Docs: rules.md B-14 rule 5 (the rule, its source quoted, the date and
what it was before); fasb-asc.md (45-17(b) and (c) quoted exactly, with
the guide's SHA-256); the handbook's entries section (name the agency as
the party on a tax, fee, fine or penalty paid to a government; a shared
payment named with both amounts; a government selling services added as
a vendor; payroll remittances stay with pay; a fee on a card follows the
card payment); fasb-asc.md also quotes 45-22 and 45-22A; bookspec
example cash-flow.government-fees.toml (a filing fee and a lawyer on
one organization-costs account, a license on taxes and licenses with no
party, a penalty to a tax agency on the wrong account, paper from a
supplier, an annual report paid through a registered agent, 37.00 the
state's and 100.00 the agent's; every figure by hand) with a new `class.<a..g>`

cashflow.rs `tests` `a_government_part_rounds_half_to_even` and the
proptest `a_government_part_sums_and_mirrors`; the bookspec example;
from the P4 review, `a_reversal_takes_its_originals_payee` (a fee and
its reversal next month land in one class, the chain's payee deciding:
the books keep a chain's parties one, so reading the reversal's own
parties is an equivalent mutant) and
`a_shared_government_payment_a_member_paid_splits_both_ways` (a shared
payment a member paid: each part with its own on_behalf; fails with
the on-behalf part unsplit). docs/mcp-interface.md: books.cash_flow
and the Roles paragraph say a government or tax agency payee makes a
payment other operating, and a shared one two operating lines.
Broken to confirm: without the payee check the five spec tests and the
example fail; without the split for mixed payees the two shared-payment
tests and the example (class.d -549.50) fail; without the payroll
exclusion the payroll test fails; rounding toward zero fails both unit
tests; without the tax-category route
`operating_classes_follow_asc_230_10_45_25`, the second test and the
example fail. The viewer's cash flow page,
rendered on made-up books before and after: the fee moved from "Cash
paid to suppliers and employees" to "Other operating cash payments",
every total the same; and on made-up books with an annual report
shared between the state and an agent: each part on its own class
line, every total the same.

A client project's invoiced revenue and a contractor's billed cost could
never count toward the project: books.create_invoice and books.create_bill
posted at once with untagged lines, and only a draft's line takes a class.
Job costing (B-37 item 3) collects a job's billings and the supplier
invoices for its direct costs on its cost sheet, so each document line
now takes an optional project.
The owner decided it on 2026-10-22 (plan D-43, rules.md B-37 item 8):
each line takes one project or none; a document spanning N projects is N
lines, each with its own amount; no percentage split, so every figure is
exact; a cost truly shared among projects names none on the document
and reaches projects only as entries of their own under the company's
monthly allocation convention, when books.conventions has one (otherwise
it stays untagged and the agent asks the human). The reasoning, stated
in B-37: job costing charges a job the costs traceable to it, whole, and
reaches shared costs only by allocation on a stated basis. ASC
340-40-25-7 counts as directly related both the costs traceable to a
contract (25-7(a), (b), (d), (e)) and allocations of costs that relate
directly to it (25-7(c)); 25-8 expenses general and administrative cost.
The books carry the first whole on the document's line and the second as
the allocation convention's own entries; neither is a percentage on the
document (sources/fasb-asc.md, 25-7 and 25-8 added). The handbook's
projects rule and the line's class parameter say the same, and no
handbook sentence lets a shared cost be split across a document's lines.
The accounting: the document's entry posts one revenue (an invoice's) or
expense (a bill's) line per project its lines name, in the order each is
first named, each the sum of that project's lines, and the untagged
lines' sum as one more line (arap::document_parts, conservation checked
by a proptest). A document naming no project therefore posts exactly the
one line every document posted before. The receivable or payable line is
never tagged: it is a balance-sheet line, which item 3 counts nothing;
the payments (receive_payment, pay_bill) move cash against it and take no
project either. Nothing but the projects moves: the P&L, the 1099
worksheet (payments made, B-19) and party totals (what moved the money,
B-35) read the same with or without the tags (twin-books test); the
projects with the untagged lines still partition the P&L.
- ledger-core: DocumentLine.class_id (serde-omitted when none, so old
documents serialize as before); create_invoice / create_bill split the
revenue or expense side by project and tag it; an unknown project is
refused whole (atomically).
- ledger-store: a document line's project is journaled as class_id on
invoice.created / bill.created, and the entry's line as
entry.line_class_set right after its entry.line_added (the entry.posted
lines carry class_id, as a hand-built entry's do). Behind a NEW journal
feature, document_line_projects (KNOWN_FEATURES, declared by new books,
asked for before the first journaled line, not even the control
accounts written on refusal); not `projects`, which the live books
already declared: the owner consents again at the next upgrade. A
malformed class_id is corrupt; null or absent is none. Untagged
documents journal byte for byte as before; old journals replay
unchanged.
- ledger-mcp: each line takes class (id or name, resolved like
add_line's, every one before anything is written); the result gains
notes for a finished or abandoned project, and on an invoice for an
on-spec project (is there now an agreement? on spec a hoped-for
payment is no receivable, B-37 item 4), tagged anyway; books lacking
the feature refuse with format_upgrade_pending. books.get_entry shows a
line's class_id and project. The handbook's "an invoice or bill takes no
project yet" caveat now depends on the books: gone where the feature is

- ledger-gui: an invoice's or bill's page (its entry's) lists the
document's lines, each project a link that opens it; the demo's client
invoices are tagged to "Client work", whose snapshot is now its revenue
less its contractors. Looking at the page in a narrow window found a
tagged line's tag pushing the amounts past the pane (any tagged entry):
the name is now cut to leave the tag room, the tag itself at most half
the cell.
- bookspec: an `invoice` event, and `lines` with `project` on a bill or
an invoice; example projects-invoice-and-bill-lines-count-by-project,
worked by hand, both projects client work (Zeta 3,500.00 - 1,200.00 =
2,300.00; Harbor 200.00;
untagged -1,750.00; together the P&L's 750.00; Dana's 1099 payments
1,250.00).
- fuzz: fuzz_store_replay can declare journal features.
- Tests: core, store, MCP, viewer, the P2-served cutover fixture and a
viewer/server parity test (its month lists the same length, not
empty); a tagged document's reversal nets its projects to zero, live
and replayed; books.get_entry's class_id; the handbook served as a
resource both ways; each fix broken to confirm its test fails
(docs/testing.md). Docs: rules.md B-27 and B-37 items 3 and 8,
sources/fasb-asc.md, plan/served.md D-43,
mcp-interface.md, testing.md, parity.md, plan/STATUS.md.
No proof changed (no kernel arithmetic: document_parts sums with the
existing document_total).

The project page opens on a snapshot: revenue, direct costs, the
contribution before overhead and its margin of revenue (a segment
margin: revenue less every cost traced to the project, fixed and
variable; B-37 item 7), in the black or red, and for on-spec work the
cost unrecovered if repaid. To date or this fiscal year. By month,
revenue and costs with the net to date in its own strip; costs by
category; the list colors each net by its sign. books.project carries
the same figures, and a parity test runs the viewer and the MCP on the
same books to the cent. Tests honor TMPDIR.

A project is a class with facts (description, status, kind, party,
dates, links, notes) in one project.set event behind the format
feature projects. Four tools (books.add_project, update_project,
projects, project); documents and decisions link to projects; B-37:
on-spec costs are expensed as incurred, repayment is revenue, and the
unrecovered cost is never below zero (Kani). Viewer: a Projects list
and a project page with its figures, by month and by account. The
sidebar measures its footer instead of reserving a fixed 172 px.

Split kernel::entry_flows into entry_movements and flows_of so the
reversal-mirror proof fits CI; prove runs the fast harnesses, prove-slow
the 8 slow ones (own job in scheduled CI), prove-all both. Laws in
verification.md renumbered 1-31 with a table of all 55 harnesses.
MCP docs checked against the 115 tools (about 60 fixes) with a test that
every tool is documented; rules.md cross-references fixed; bookspec
statuses and loader tightened; viewer notes wrap and accounts sort by
code; STATUS.md says P3 is built, cutover pending.

A schedule-convention setting, the two new tax categories, a disposal
before the in-service date and a depreciation catch-up each need their
feature now (tax_categories_gain_exempt, disposal_before_service,
depreciation_catch_up), so no write before consent leaves books P2 refuses
or misreads; replayed names are read with P2's TIN detector (B-28). The
cutover runs end to end through the real P2 and P3 binaries in a test.

Schema 13 is as shipped and the asset columns are schema 14 (shipped
migrations pinned by hash); the tax-basis K-1 leaves net income open (only
the return has it) and takes a contributed prepaid plan at its book amount
as its section 723 basis; a disposal of contributed property names its
704(c) gain or loss; aliases compare by meaning; fixture amounts made up.

A distribution declared to a payable and then paid is financing when paid,
the declaration disclosed (ASC 230-10-45-15(a)); a disposal's depreciation
lines count as depreciation in the cash flow and the tax-basis K-1; an
as-of asset list says the status of that day. Seam tests tie the members'
statement, K-1, party totals, cash flow, 1099s, depreciation and the CPA
package together on three dates.

Book value is cost less what the books posted; the schedule's figure is
apart. An asset's acquired date comes from its entry. Contributed
property keeps its section 723 carryover basis apart from its depreciable
basis (the lower of value and adjusted basis), with its 704(c) built-in
gain and method. The K-1 worksheet reports tax-basis capital (Form 1065
Item L) beside the book figures, leaving open what only the CPA knows.

The final month takes what the months before leave, spread over its days;
a disposed asset stops on its disposal day. A skipped month is caught up
in the month the run is made; a reversed run un-posts its month. New
schedules spread by day; equal-months schedules must start on the 1st.
Amounts round to the currency's own minor unit. Kani and Lean proofs; an
exhaustive search over runs, reversals and disposals.

A vendor's 1099 decision is its own dated fact (files NEC or MISC, not
reportable with its reason, or undetermined), applied by each payment's
date. Payment methods are recorded; card and network payments are left
out and listed; a member's check through financing counts; a bank payment
with no method counts (D-40); $2,000 for payments after 2025. One
worksheet for the tool, the viewer and the CPA package.

Each party's part of an entry is signed as its own account would show it,
with a direction and its cash and in-kind amounts; a reversal is its
original negated. Totals on a cash or all basis: for a member, all equals
the members' equity statement and cash the K-1's cash. Money is cash,
cards and the financing accounts, and a liability credit never pays its
own creditor (creditor_of), so accruals and declared distributions count
once. tin_last4 from the TIN or W-9 facts.

books.rename_account; account names trimmed, bounded, refused when a
sibling's or TIN-shaped; books.show refuses what its target ignores. A
report asked for without dates covers this fiscal year so far, everywhere
(one rule for tools, descriptions and the viewer; the IIF and CPA package
keep their own dates). policy.require_tax_category warns or refuses; a
Form 4797 gain is shown apart on every return.

Direct method with the operating reconciliation and noncash schedules; it
foots by construction (Lean and Kani). Every non-cash account belongs to
one section; reversals net; a member or lender paying for the company is
cash borrowed and spent (D-42, constructive receipt and disbursement);
property a member contributes stays noncash. The bookspec seed: one loader
checks every example.

The CPA package's general-journal.iif now holds every posted entry through
as_of (closing entries left out, D-36), written as plain ASCII with CR LF,
DOCNUM the entry id, QuickBooks Desktop's field limits and subaccount types
honoured, and every character written differently listed in the export's
warnings and the README (grouped by substitution, TINs masked). The 1099
worksheet stops at as_of too. PDFs print CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and
Devanagari (Noto fallbacks, OFL), and so does the viewer. has_full_tin reads
Unicode separators.

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.

The server backs each book up itself: a per-book git archive, pushed
fast-forward only to a git remote and to a folder, when the books open,
after a quiet spell, before they close and on request; every commit,
push and drill is a record in ops/backup.jsonl. Drills clone each
target and verify the chain, the blobs, the vault and the head, weekly
and after a failure. `wanderbooks books restore` previews, then
restores beside or (with --replace) over, never moving books something
holds. The archive refuses anything but a plain bare repository and
pins git against the owner's configuration. books.backup and
books.back_up_now for the agent.

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.
