The engine only had life-of-ledger P&L and balance sheet totals, so every export labeled with a date range or as-of date (PDF, XLSX, CPA package) printed all-time numbers under that label. Core now has: - profit_and_loss_for_period(start, end, class?) and balance_sheet_as_of(as_of), each with a line per account (StatementLine: code, name, normal-side amount) and exact totals. - Ledger::closing_entry_ids(). Period statements exclude closing entries. A close (Dr revenue / Cr expense / net to Retained Earnings, dated at period end) moves earnings; it doesn't earn or spend. Counting it made a closed period's P&L read as break-even, and made the cash flow show zero net income plus a fake "owner contribution" to Retained Earnings. The as-of balance sheet keeps closing entries: after a close the earnings belong in Retained Earnings, not current earnings. Tests: tests/statements.rs, a two-month fixture with every expected number computed by hand (Jan NI 1,700; Feb 880; balance sheets on four dates; a closed January still reporting 1,700 and a cash flow with one financing line). Mutation-checked: dropping the closing exclusion fails it (0 vs 1,700). Properties: period P&Ls partition a year at any split, and a range's net income equals the change in current earnings across it, with A = L + E on both dates.

Parity catalog
Every semantic feature we intend to clone, with its status. Updated in the
same commit as the feature. The floor never decreases: the count of
done items is monotonic across commits.
Statuses: done = implemented + invariant-tested + golden-covered.
partial = implemented but missing tests or goldens. todo = not started.
No other statuses.
Floor: 10 done (2026-10-10; fixed-asset register added).

Workflow/UI parity (QuickBooks/Xero reference) gets its own catalog when the egui phase starts; semantics come first.
Capability parity (AI-first phase)
Semantic parity (above) is about correctness: the engine computes the
right numbers. Capability parity is about usefulness: can the new system
do everything the GSheet+GDrive system does today? Tracked separately in
docs/capability-parity.md, with its own cutover rule (parallel run +
Stephen's approval). The two catalogs converge: when both are green, the
sheet retires.
