ledger-import invoice_pdf (templates/invoice.typ): seller, bill-to,
number, dates, terms, lines, total, each settled line and the balance
due; money formatted in Rust (the template does no arithmetic), text as
data, deterministic bytes. Stamps as a rubber stamp would mark it, in
red: PAID (with the day it was paid in full: the invoice is then the
customer's receipt), PARTIALLY PAID, PAST DUE, VOID; DRAFT in gray for
S4's preview. ledger-package invoice_document builds it from the books
as of a day: the derived figures (B-38), each payment that stands on its
own line with its date, payment method and reference; re-created copies
say so (the issued copy is kept from S4 on and never changes).
books.document pdf hands it over as a download; the viewer's invoice
page saves or opens it. The owner asked for the paid stamp with the
payment's date and details (2026-10-24).

books.void_document voids an invoice or bill that should never have
existed by reversing its own entry with the reason (refused while a
payment stands on it, naming that payment). books.control_check ties
receivables and payables to their documents (B-23, B-38 INVARIANT 1):
balance, documents' total, lines that are no document's, the documents
needing attention; books.verify checks the identity and books.digest
lists its problems (control_problems). books.receive_payment and
books.pay_bill take instrument (tagged in the same call) and reference
(in the description), and answer the document's derived remaining and
status. The books record payments; they never collect or make them
(D-45). Docs, handbook and STATUS; the over-the-wire test
documents_void_and_tie_out_over_the_wire; the happy-path journey covers
both tools' output schemas. The processor fee waits for S6.

The owner (2026-10-23, via the question tool): "Uploads only"; and
before it: "What we would DEFINITELY want to avoid is passing a bunch
of BLOBs through AI context windows. That's just a pure waste." No file
passes through an agent's context, in either direction.
In: the inline arguments are gone with the 256 KiB limit (INLINE_MAX,
take_file's inline branch): content_base64 and its sha256 on
books.attach_receipt and books.file_document, w9_content_base64 and
w9_sha256 on books.set_w9, csv_text on the two CSV imports. A file comes
only by books.begin_upload and `wanderbooks upload`, named by its
upload_id; existing_attachment_id still names bytes stored already. The
five filing tools deny unknown fields, and any inline argument to any
tool is refused before it runs as an unknown argument pointing to
books.begin_upload (access log: refused inline_file).
Out: books.export (every format), books.asset_labels and
books.get_receipt view bytes hand the file over (HandedFile: download
command and expiry, D-29), as the CPA package and the W-9 do. Resource
reads stay text. A token keeps up to 64 handed files (was 16). The
access log's digest no longer exempts file bytes.
Docs: handbook files-in-out and parties-and-tins, mcp-interface.md,
rules.md, receipt-store.md, parties-and-attachments.md, plan/served.md
(D-46; the inline decisions marked superseded), STATUS.md, testing.md
(D-46: tests migrated to uploads and downloads, rewritten, removed,
added).

The owner (2026-10-23): "We should probably just delete the stdio path
altogether. THere's no point in that. And it sitting there unused will
just lead to bitrot. Nuke it?"
Books are served only by the books server (`wanderbooks server`),
reached by agents through the bridge (`wanderbooks mcp --book ID`),
which stays.
Removed: `wanderbooks dev-stdio`, the `ledger-mcp` binary, and
`ledger_mcp::run` (stdio and `--http` over a bare data dir), with all
that only that mode had:
- files the books make coming back inline: `HandedFile.content_base64`
is gone, and `download` and `expires_at` are always there;
- books with no access log or backups: `books.access_log`,
`books.backup` and `books.back_up_now` are always offered, by scope;
- the settings file read and reloaded (`legacy_files`), the vault key
named by a file or `--vault-key-file`, and the books dir's
key-inside-the-books and git checks (with `paths.rs`);
- `wire.rs` (the bridge frames an agent's lines itself);
- `books.settings`' file fields and `books.start`'s `settings_source`.
`BooksServer` is built one way, from `Served` (a book as the books
server serves it), in production and in the unit tests. An unknown tool
is now a protocol error (mcp-tools.md). Inline file input is unchanged.
Then the owner's three decisions (2026-10-23, the question tool):
(a) `books.import_settings` is removed entirely (118 tools): old books
come in whole by `wanderbooks books adopt`, which reads their settings
file once; ledger-config keeps its settings-file parsing only as far as
adoption uses it (`load` and the path-reading `effective_receipt_policy`
are gone), and `books.chart_template` gives its settings as
`books.set_setting` changes. (b) The viewer's loose-books-folder mode is
removed (`--data-dir`, `--books-toml`, `--vault-key-file`, the settings
file and config.json followed): it opens only books of the data root,
reading settings from the journal and the vault from the book's own
`vault/` and `keys/`. (c) `wanderbooks dev-stdio` has no stub: it is an
unknown command like any other word. Also: an upload's expiry past the
calendar is an error, never an empty string.
Tests: every suite that drove the stdio server moved to
crates/ledger-cli/tests/ and drives a real `wanderbooks server` on a
data root of its own (tests/common), handed files by their download;
mcp_stdio.rs is mcp_journeys.rs. Tests of what is gone are deleted and
listed in docs/testing.md. Docs: plan D-44 (D-18 superseded), STATUS,
testing, rules, mcp-interface, the handbook, README; justfile recipes.

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
verification.md updated.

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>`
key in the
cash_flow query (bookspec README; the runner checks every class the
statement has is given); testing.md; STATUS.
Tests: ledger-core tests/spec_cash_flow.rs
`a_payment_to_a_government_is_other_operating` (the filing fee and a
penalty to a tax agency (g); the same account paid to a lawyer, or with
no payee, (d); its reversal next month keeps (g); a refund (c)),
`a_government_payee_moves_a_fee_on_any_account` (a taxes_licenses
license with no party (g); a payment shared half and half between a
government and a printer split 50.00 (g) and 50.00 (d), the government
alone all (g)), `a_shared_government_payment_splits_to_the_cent` (a
third by percent of 100.01: 33.34 (g), 66.67 (d); amounts split as
given; the reversal mirrors to the cent),
`a_payroll_remittance_to_a_tax_agency_stays_pay` (withheld taxes
remitted from a payable holding its payroll role, and pay on a
salaries_wages account, stay (d) with the IRS named; the employer's tax
on its own expense account is (g)),
`a_government_selling_services_is_a_supplier` (postage to a vendor (d);
given government_agency, (g): the limit the handbook guards); src
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.

The P3 cutover review's open point 1: entries carry projects (classes,
B-37), but the QuickBooks Desktop file (B-34) left the CLASS field empty
on every line, and neither B-34 nor the README said so, though B-34 rule
6 says nothing changes silently.
Intuit's IIF Import Kit (vendored in docs/spec/sources/intuit-iif.md,
the kit's SHA-256 unchanged): the `!CLASS` header help says "Only the
NAME column is required" and a subclass's NAME is its parents' names
first, joined by colons; the kit's "Import First - List Declarations"
example declares `!CLASS` rows before any transaction, and its "2004
Deposit (Income)" example names the class line by line in CLASS. So the
file now declares every class in a `!CLASS` list after the accounts and
before `!TRNS`, and writes each line's class in CLASS (empty where the
line has none). Books with no class write no list, byte for byte as
before. A line whose class wasn't declared is refused
(IifError::UndeclaredClass), never written classless.
A class's NAME follows B-34's rules for an account's own name: plain
ASCII (rule 3), a colon written '-' (it would start a subclass),
trimmed, '?' if nothing is left, cut to 31 characters: Intuit's qbXML
Onscreen Reference gives `ClassAdd`'s Name "maxDT" : 31 (and 31 in the
Canadian, UK and Australian desktop editions; 100 only in Online), the
same as its `AccountAdd` Name (both JSON files vendored by SHA-256);
Conductor's QuickBooks Desktop API reference agrees and says the name is
case-insensitive. Classes whose NAMEs would match ignoring case get
" (id)", round after round, as accounts get " (code)", except that
among names that match, those already written differently from the
books (made safe, or tagged) yield first, a second " (id)" if need be:
a class's own name is kept unless another class's own name is the same
ignoring case (classes 1 "Café", 2 "Cafe", 3 "Cafe (1)" are written
"Cafe (1) (1)", "Cafe", "Cafe (1)"). Each class is tagged twice at most
and ids differ, so none is left alike (a hand-built list is refused). Each class name
written differently is an IifChange (IifField::ClassName), said one
line each in the warnings and in the package README, whose
"written differently" paragraph now names class names' limits; its IIF
line says CLASS is each line's project when there are classes. The MCP
and viewer notes count "account or class name(s)".
API: `iif_classes(ledger)` builds the list; `journal_to_iif` takes it
(`&[]` for none).
Docs: rules.md B-34 rule 8 with its sources; intuit-iif.md (the
`!CLASS` help, the list declarations and deposit examples, Intuit's SDK
department page, the qbXML Onscreen Reference's ClassAdd and AccountAdd
and Conductor's class reference, each with SHA-256);
mcp-interface.md (books.export iif, the package note); the bookspec
example iif-quickbooks-journal-file.toml (two projects: one carried and
renamed, one only declared; every line derived by hand); testing.md;
STATUS (open point 1 done; point 3 waits for the close, the owner said).
Tests: ledger-import
`iif_writes_each_lines_class_and_declares_the_classes_first`,
`iif_class_names_fit_quickbooks_and_every_change_is_listed`,
`iif_class_names_written_as_the_books_have_them_are_kept`,
`iif_refuses_an_undeclared_or_unfit_class`, property
`iif_class_names_never_clash`; ledger-package
`the_package_iif_carries_each_lines_project` and the bookspec example.
Broken to confirm: CLASS written empty fails the two exact-file tests,
the package test and the bookspec example; the " (id)" tag dropped fails
the names test and the property; tagging every name that meets (no
yielding) fails the kept-names test and the property (its shrunk case,
"A-B" beside "A\uFF1AB", kept in the regressions file).

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
declared, an "until their format upgrade" note where it isn't.
- 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).

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

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

the whole max-testing pass over everything since P1. Before the pause,
pass 1 on slices 3-6 and its triage gave tests in ledger-store,
ledger-package and ledger-mcp, and three real bugs, fixed:
- the command line took an admin answer longer than four MiB, or cut off
before its newline, whenever the bytes that came still parsed;
- The CPA package put a twin's number on the last dot of the whole path,
so in a folder with a dot the second file landed in another folder;
- a document or category named of dots alone ("..") could climb out of
its folder when the CPA package is unpacked.
The plan gains P13, bookspec (D-34): a formal, sourced accounting
specification first (rules with symbolic forms and worked examples), then
its own formal validation and a conformance harness any engine can be
tested against, seeded by P3's regression tests. docs/testing.md records
slices 3-8 and what P12 must cover; plan/STATUS.md says where P2 stands.

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.

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.

non-destructive restore onto new or existing installs, and restore

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 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 (the owner). 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

Every business has owners, and how owners put money in and take it out
depends on what the business is. wanderbooks now knows the four common
US shapes:
- books.chart_template {entity_type, owners}: a starter chart for a sole
proprietorship (owner's capital and draws), partnership or
multi-member LLC (capital and distributions per partner, guaranteed
payments), S corporation (stock, APIC, shareholder distributions,
officer compensation, retained earnings) or C corporation (dividends,
income tax expense), plus common income and expense accounts with
tax categories, and the wanderbooks.toml settings that go with it
(tax form, members with equal-share placeholders that sum to exactly
100, close target). A proposal for the agent to review with the human.
- Closing: CloseTo is now RetainedEarnings { sweep }, Account { into,
sweep } (a sole proprietor's capital) or Members([MemberClose { capital,
share, distributions }]). Sweeps zero owner-pay equity accounts into
their target at close: draws into owner's capital, dividends or
distributions into retained earnings, each partner's distributions
into their own capital. Validation (equity, distinct, shares sum to 1)
runs in the pre-close preview, before anything is journaled. The
journal records the target; journals with no target or the old
"retained_earnings" string still replay.
- Members' equity: a partner's distributions account is part of their
capital; its activity reports as distributions.
- Config: members' distribution_account; [books] close_into and
close_sweep for single-owner businesses (rejected alongside members).
The cash flow names members on their distribution accounts too.
Tests: a sole proprietor (net 2,000 and 500 of draws into capital: 6,500,
the cash); a corporation (dividends 300 into retained earnings: 600); a
partnership with distribution accounts (Bob 100 + 25 - 20 = 105, swept at
close, February begins there); bad sweep accounts; templates round-trip
through the chart parser, unique codes, equity per entity, every tax
category valid for the entity's return; stdio: template -> settings ->
import -> postings -> close with the exact closing lines.

wanderbooks is a general MCP-first accounting application: every
business needs its accounts mapped to where they land on its income tax
return, and its CPA needs book-to-tax differences surfaced, not hidden.
- ledger_core::tax: a catalog of stable categories (gross_receipts,
commissions_fees, meals, guaranteed_payments, officer_compensation,
nondeductible, ...) with kind (income, cost of goods, deduction), the
returns each appears on (Schedule C, 1065, 1120-S, 1120), a default
deductible percent (meals 50, nondeductible 0), and guidance. Keys,
not line numbers: form lines move from year to year.
- Accounts carry tax_category and an optional deductible_percent
override, validated against the account type (and the return, at the
MCP layer), journaled as account.tax_set, replayed, projected (schema
v6).
- tax_summary(start, end, form): the P&L grouped by category, book and
deductible amounts (half away from zero to the cent), contra income
(refunds) reducing receipts, and every account still uncategorized.
- MCP: books.tax_categories (filtered to the configured return),
books.set_tax_category, a tax_summary report in every format and in
the CPA package, chart output with categories, and a fifth
tax_category column in chart CSV imports, validated before anything is
created. [company] tax_form, or derived from tax_classification.
Scope stays book basis: no tax depreciation, basis, or filing.
Tests: a hand-computed quarter (50% meals 333.33 -> 166.67, penalties at
0%, refunds as negative receipts, guaranteed payments, one uncategorized
account; book net 5,276.67 vs tax 5,483.33); overrides; category/account
/return validation; form parsing and derivation; CSV parsing; stdio:
filtered catalog, mapping, refusal, summary, all-or-nothing import.

The close zeroed every revenue and expense account's all-time movement,
so closing a period after later entries were posted swept those too:
close January in March and February's and March's income landed in
January's closing entry. The preview had the same bug and never showed
where the net went. Now:
- close_period_to(id, to) zeroes balances as of the period end; entries
dated later stay open for their own period. Periods must close in
order (LedgerError::CloseOutOfOrder): a later close has already swept
the earlier period.
- CloseTo::Members: for a partnership (multi-member LLC) the net goes to
each member's capital account by share, to the cent, the last member
absorbing rounding, which is what K-1 capital accounts track.
CloseTo::RetainedEarnings (3999) stays the default; close_period is
shorthand for it. books.close_period picks Members when
wanderbooks.toml lists members.
- The journal records the close target; replay re-derives the closing
entry and now compares every line with the journal, not just the id,
so a change to closing math can never silently rewrite history.
- The tool's preview is the real close run on a clone of the ledger
(Ledger now derives Clone), so preview and post can't disagree.
- Members' equity: closing entries into a capital account are income,
not contributions. Balance sheet for a partnership: capital accounts
(with allocated earnings), then only unallocated earnings —
"Undistributed earnings, prior years" if any, and this year's unclosed
net income (loss). periods::allocate is shared by the close and the
statement.
Tests: January closed after February is posted sweeps exactly Dr 4000
2,500 / Cr 6100 800 / Cr 3999 1,700 (mutation-checked: the old code gives
3,500/120/800/2,580); out-of-order close refused; a partnership close
splits 666.67 into 333.34/333.33 with no 3999, and the members' equity
statement reads correctly before and after; store replay of a members
close (reopen, rebuild, verify); partnership and corporate balance sheet
layouts; stdio close preview equals the posted lines.

Every report a CPA expects, laid out the way US small-business books
read (QuickBooks as the reference):
- Exports: books.export gains general_ledger (by account, running
balances, splits), general_journal (the entry-ordered listing, which
the CPA package used to mislabel "general ledger"; alias journal),
members_equity, and trial_balance as of a date, in xlsx/csv/json, and
PDF for all five statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, trial
balance, members' equity). books.trial_balance takes as_of.
- CPA package: every statement as PDF and XLSX, plus the general ledger
and general journal, all for the fiscal year to date.
- Layout (ledger-import::report): multi-column statements (Total;
Debit/Credit; one column per member plus Total), "$" on subtotals and
totals, a rule above every sum (none over an empty section), a double
rule under statement totals, zero as 0.00, negatives in parentheses
with the closing paren hanging so decimal points align.
- Terms: "Net income (loss)"; for a multi-member LLC, "Members' equity",
member contributions and distributions named in the cash flow, and the
balance sheet splitting retained earnings (the Retained Earnings
account plus earnings not yet closed from earlier years) from the
fiscal year's net income (loss); the cash flow's "Adjustments to
reconcile net income (loss) to net cash from operating activities" and
"Net increase (decrease) in cash".
- PDF: Inter replaces the typst-assets serif fonts (bundled, SIL OFL 1.1,
license in fonts/; from the official v4.1 release), centered title
block, column-header row, full-width rules, footer "Accrual basis ·
Prepared <date> · Journal seq N" with page numbers. Amounts on total
rows stay regular weight so bold figures can't leave the decimal
column. typst-assets dependency removed.
- XLSX: centered title block, header row, Excel accounting formats with
"$" attached on sums, general ledger and general journal workbooks.
- Config: wanderbooks.toml [[company.members]] (name, share "50%" or
"0.5", capital_account; shares must total 100%) and [books]
accounting_basis (accrual | cash).
- Core: RETAINED_EARNINGS_CODE names the "3999" that period close uses.
- Fix: "today" is local time, not UTC; in US evenings UTC is tomorrow,
so reports defaulting to "through today" included the next day and
footers carried the wrong date.
Tests: layout (currency and rule placement, retained earnings vs. this
year's net income for a member LLC, footer text); exact template data;
deterministic PDFs; config parsing (members, shares, basis); stdio:
trial balance as of, February general ledger (beginning 1,004.00, splits,
ending 1,003.50), members' equity (contributions 1,000.00, net income
3.50, ending 1,003.50), members' equity PDF, the CPA package's ten files.

Zero warnings from `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets`, which is now

loose parameters (too_many_arguments); Ledger::add_account builds it.
Same validation, same errors.
- close_period tool: collapse the nested if-let into a let chain.

literal tab characters (tabs_in_doc_comments).

The printpdf statements padded columns with spaces in a proportional font
(amounts didn't line up), had no company name, printed negatives as
"-207.68", and put everything on one page (a long statement was silently
cut off past ~70 lines). Now:
- PDFs are typeset by Typst from one template,
ledger-import/templates/statement.typ. The laid-out statement goes in as
JSON data (sys.inputs), so account names are never parsed as markup.
Fonts are bundled (typst-assets: Libertinus Serif), so output doesn't
depend on the machine and is byte-for-byte deterministic. Statements
paginate, with the company/title repeated on later pages and "Page n of
m" plus "Prepared from journal through seq N" in the footer.
- US accounting presentation, decided once in ledger-import::report and
applied by both PDF and XLSX: tabular figures; "$" on each section's
first amount and on every subtotal and total, pinned to the column's
left edge; negatives in parentheses with the closing paren hanging (its
width reserved on every row, so decimal points align); zero as a dash;
a single rule above sums (none over an empty section) and a double rule
under statement totals; amounts never bold, because bold figures are
wider and would leave the decimal column. XLSX uses Excel's own
Accounting formats for the same result.
- Cash flow: "Net change in cash" is a subtotal; only "Cash at end of
period" takes the double rule.
- Core fix: cash_flow walked the chart in HashMap order, so the order of
working-capital and financing lines could change between runs. Lines
now follow account code. Test: five owners, twenty runs, always
3000/3001/3003/3005/3009; fails without the sort.
New dependencies (ledger-import): typst, typst-layout, typst-pdf,
typst-assets (fonts), typst-as-lib (World/font plumbing), serde_json (the
template's data). Removed: printpdf. Release ledger-mcp grows by the
bundled fonts.
Tests: exact template data for a hand-built P&L (like a golden); same
statement renders to identical bytes; 200 rows of Typst markup
characters render literally and span several pages; currency-sign and
rule placement; amount splitting.

Every statement export rendered life-of-ledger totals under whatever date
range or as-of label was asked for, and the P&L and balance sheet XLSX
were totals-only. Now:
- books.profit_and_loss / books.balance_sheet and the csv, json, xlsx,
pdf exports and CPA package all use core's profit_and_loss_for_period
and balance_sheet_as_of, with a line per account. The tools keep their
totals and add revenue/expense/asset/liability/equity account lines.
An omitted start is the first posted entry, never "0001-01-01".
- ledger-import::report lays a statement out once (section, line,
subtotal, total) for every renderer, with one exact amount formatter:
thousands separators, negatives in parentheses, no floats. XLSX keeps
numeric cells with an accounting number format, named sheets, company
header, totals with borders; the trial balance gains its totals row.
- ledger-mcp reads wanderbooks.toml (next to --data-dir, or
--books-toml): company name for headers, fiscal_year_start for the CPA
package's fiscal year to date (end derived; Feb 29 rejected), and
[books] receipt_threshold, which the server had been ignoring.
config.json's receipt_policy still wins when set. New dependency: toml
1.x (already in the lockfile via another crate).
- Store::journal_seq(); every report notes the journal seq it reflects.
Tests: company.rs unit tests (fiscal years incl. a July start, scaffold
parsing, bad settings); report.rs formatting tests; an MCP stdio test with
--books-toml (threshold 5.00 enforced, February-only P&L with account
lines, start defaults to the first entry, as-of balance sheet).

The cash flow statement was computed and exportable as csv/json/xlsx but
missing from every PDF path, so the CPA package carried two of the three
financial statements. Now:
- ledger-import: cash_flow_pdf renders the indirect-method statement
(operating with net income, depreciation add-back, working-capital
lines; investing; financing; net change reconciled to beginning and
ending cash) from the computed CashFlowStatement, so the period and
cash accounts are the caller's.
- books.export gains format "pdf" for profit_and_loss, balance_sheet, and
cash_flow (base64, like xlsx), plus financing_accounts for cash_flow.
- books.export_cpa_package adds cash-flow.pdf (fiscal year to date, like
the P&L) and requires cash_accounts: without them the statement has
nothing to reconcile to.
- One cash_flow_statement helper resolves codes and dates for xlsx, pdf,
and the package.
Test: MCP stdio test exports all three statement PDFs, checks the
cash_accounts and bad-report refusals, and unzips the CPA package to find
all five files. Known report gaps are logged in plan/STATUS.md.

Posted entries stay immutable (R-3), but their evidence can now change the
same way the ledger does: by appending events, never by editing or
deleting. New R-13a.
- books.unlink_receipt {attachment_id, reason} journals receipt.unlinked
and leaves the receipt filed, unlinked. The receipt policy holds: an
entry that requires a receipt can't lose its last one (structured
receipt_required error), so a replacement is attach-new, then
unlink-old. Drafts and reversals are exempt, as at posting.
- books.withdraw_attachment {attachment_id, reason} journals
attachment.withdrawn for an unlinked receipt or a filed document: hidden
from list_receipts (unless include_withdrawn), never linkable again. The
blob stays in the store, hash-verified and readable.
- link_receipt now refuses an already-linked or withdrawn attachment.
Before, re-linking silently moved a receipt off a posted entry,
bypassing the policy; evidence now leaves an entry only through a
recorded unlink. dispose_asset checks its receipt ids before posting
instead of after.
- Schema v5 adds attachments.withdrawn_at/withdrawn_reason; existing
stores migrate on open and replay rebuilds the projection.
Tests: store test (errors, reopen, rebuild, verify, journal history) and
an MCP stdio test (policy refusal, replace flow, withdraw, listings,
under-threshold unlink). Dry-run and live use on the the first company books:
8 migrated .eml attachments swapped for their PDF renders, trial balance
unchanged.
