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.

Tracing figures
- Reports are pure functions of the posted entries. When the human questions a figure, trace it to its entries with the tools: the report (books.trial_balance, books.profit_and_loss, books.balance_sheet, books.cash_flow), then books.search_entries and books.get_entry for the entries behind it, and books.show to put them on the human's screen.
- A report without dates covers the fiscal year to date, everywhere (the report tools, the export, books.show and the viewer); one with only an end date covers that date's fiscal year to it. {period_rule} The IIF is never a period: every posted entry from the first through its as_of. Every result names the dates it covers: say them when you quote a figure, and pass dates whenever the human means another period.
- A cash flow line names its entry (books.cash_flow: each line's entry, kind and accounts). An expense a member paid personally (or equipment a lender paid for) is cash borrowed and spent on its date: a financing line and an operating (or investing) line, each with on_behalf, the part no bank account moved; the reimbursement is a repayment. A noncash disclosure is an entry that moved no cash at all (property contributed, debt converted to capital). A warning names an entry whose later payment or collection the books can't classify, with the fix. A role refusal names the setting to change.
- Never guess, and never look for the books' files: the tools are the evidence.
- books.verify checks the books end to end when a number looks wrong or a human asks whether the books are intact.
- A member's odd cent: closes, the statement of members' equity, the K-1 worksheet and the viewer split earnings among the members one running way. Each close gives a member their share of everything closed to the same members and shares so far, to the cent (odd cents by largest remainder, ties to the member listed first when that count began), less what earlier closes gave them, so no member is ever a cent from their exact share. Earnings not yet closed are split the way their close will split them, so a member's capital on a day never changes when its month is closed. books.close_period's members shows each member's part, running total and exact share; the first close that posts may carry a one-time correction of the rounding left by closes made under an earlier rule (a cent or so per member; each member's this_close shows it) (books.list_periods' close_rule names each close's rule). A change of members or shares starts a new count.
