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.
