The CPA's first tie-out is that the aging equals the control account, so books.export and the CPA package now write ar_aging.csv and ap_aging.csv from one builder: one row per open document (number, party, dates, terms, total, paid, discounted, outstanding, bucket, days overdue) and a TOTAL line carrying the outstanding sum, the GL account and balance, and the difference (always 0.00; B-23, B-38 INVARIANT 1). XLSX and PDF lay the same aging out as a statement with the tie-out beneath it. The package README states the tie-out, the gross discount method (A-8) and the direct write-off method (A-5). The chart templates gain 6995 Purchase Discounts so no template puts another account at a control role's code (4100 and 6060 already match). The viewer's Money out list gains the discount-deadline column and colours a due-soon or discount-open date; the screenshot is re-rendered. Test: the_aging_csvs_tie_to_the_control_check in ledger-package; the existing package file-order test and mcp_journeys see the two new files.

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.
P0 guard rails (2026-10-16)
P0 (plan/served.md) changed no feature in the catalog above, so no
status moved and the floor stands. It hardened what exists: an older
version refuses books from a newer one as newer, not corrupt (rules.md
B-27); the MCP server fails closed after an internal error, and no input
reaches one (dates are four-digit years, amounts at most a line's, B-28);
local files
were read only from the import roots, never the books, the vault or its
key (P2 slice 5 removed local paths: files now come in only as uploads,
D-46); no file with a full TIN is filed into the books (B-26); the agent is
told the rules in force in a short connect text and a handbook, and no
agent text points at the books' files, git or the repo.
U0b: one attention engine (D-53, 2026-10-26)
No semantic feature changed, so no status moved and the floor stands (10
done). Needs attention used to be computed by the viewer alone; it now
lives in ledger-package::attention, over PackageBooks, and both the
viewer and books.start read it (the same items, the same prompts), so the
list the human sees and the next steps the agent gets cannot drift. The
parity test the_viewer_and_books_start_see_the_same_attention compares
them item for item on the demo books and on a book written entry by entry.
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 +
the owner's approval). The two catalogs converge: when both are green, the
sheet retires.
P13 bookspec (2026-10-26)
P13 is a specification, not a feature, so no row of the semantic catalog
moves and the floor stands. It adds the checker crate (bookspec/checker:
the example schema, the rule identifiers BS-<area>-<n> and the Engine
trait), the runner (bookspec/runner: pass, fail or not claimed per rule),
and the rule index from B-1 to B-45 (bookspec/spec/rules-index.md). Every
existing bookspec example still runs on every cargo test, through both
the loader's own checks and the Engine trait.
P9a self-host deployment (2026-10-26)
P9a is a deployment, not a semantic feature: the same engine, store, MCP
surface and reports on a machine of the owner's own. No row above changed
status and the floor stands. What it adds is the enforced isolation the
catalog's parity claims rest on in practice: a dedicated account, a data
root only that account can read, books.start saying
service_user (enforced) (--isolation), and the same bearer-guarded MCP
door on loopback for Caddy or a tunnel. crates/ledger-cli/tests/two_user.rs
proves the account boundary and the move's head in CI
(.github/workflows/two-user.yml); the recipe is deploy/README.md.
The cutover rule in docs/capability-parity.md is unchanged.
P4b S6 paying on terms (2026-10-27)
S6 adds the three rows above: multi-document settlements with
early-payment discounts (the gross method, A-8), the processor's fee
posted gross (A-4), and the bills-due list with the agings' detail,
tie-out and exports. The pre-S6 fixture's figures still hold (no figure
moves), and every new write needs the journal feature documents_v2,
which the owner's books declare at their next upgrade (D-52).
