A taxpayer identification number can be written 123,45,6789 or
(123) 45-6789 as easily as 123-45-6789, and the scanner only knew the
second: a comma-grouped number slipped through every party field, every
refusal that quotes its input and the access log's masking, which is how
a full TIN could reach a result the books promise never shows one
(rules.md B-26, I-7).
The scanner now reads a comma or a parenthesis between a TIN's 3-2-4 or
2-7 groups, and any run of spaces counts once however long it is, so
12 3456789 is an EIN. Commas and parentheses join only those groups:
an amount's thousands separators (1,234,567.89 is 1-3-3-2) still read as
an amount, and a nine-digit D-U-N-S number stays its own setting's kind
(company.duns). The old run reading is unchanged for everything it
found, which the property asserts; replay still reads a journaled line
as P2 did (B-28).
The truth table and the ASCII-equality property pinned the old separator
set, so they were updated with it: the property is now
has_full_tin_never_forgets_a_tin (what was found before is still found).
No journal, entry or figure changes: this is a text scanner only.
