Max-testing pass, step 8. The final mutation run left 112 survivors (89% caught). Three agents triaged them by file, by the playbook's table: spec the boundary then test it, a law rather than one more pinned value, assert the real value, never weaken a test. Every expected value is hand-computed. - reports.rs (35): 28 killed, chiefly cash flow (inclusive start date, each line's sign and label, a loss on disposal moving to investing, financing designation), general ledger and members' equity date boundaries, and the balanced() checks (a real report nudged by a cent must stop balancing). 7 equivalent: four >/>= after an early return on zero; two in dead code (removed in this commit); one sign of a zero cleaned on output. - ledger.rs, kernel.rs, journal.rs, money.rs (52, plus one new): 49 killed, including every replay_* mutant at the core level (ids, accumulation, status, vendor tags, out-of-order refusal), FX rates, 0%/100% deductible boundaries, a dividend sweep with no income, the legacy member rounding at close, a bill paid on its own date, a liability-account reconciliation, mixed-currency entries (via serde), ISO 4217 minor units, Display/Debug. 3 equivalent: zero refused before a </<= check; a period whose end is in a closed period refused earlier; columns(0). - schedules, tax, analysis, payouts, assets, form1099 (25): 23 killed (schedule length 1-600, recurring end on its start, frequency parsing and stepping, cost of goods in tax net, a zero payout, disposal on the purchase date, quarter starts, labels); 2 equivalent (zero adds zero; days_held is provably >= 1). Two small production cleanups the triage surfaced: kernel::columns(0) returned a negative-zero credit that would print "-0" (regression a_zero_movement_has_no_negative_zero_column, shown to fail before); and cash_flow computed a book value it never used. Spec lines added where a boundary wasn't specified (cash flow's inclusive start and line signs, members' equity start date, payout with no deposit, disposal on the purchase date, bill paid on its own date). `just mutants` now runs core and store tests (the store's replay tests), not the whole workspace, which rebuilt the viewer for every mutant.

wanderbooks
Canonical double-entry bookkeeping, rebuilt from scratch. The engine is verified against oracles, parity is tracked automatically, and the primary interface is AI-first: you talk to an agent, the agent drives the books through MCP. Self-hosted, no rent.
What it is
ledger-core— the semantics engine. Exact decimal money, five account types, balanced journal entries, immutable posted log with reversing entries, trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, indirect-method cash flow, fixed-asset register with straight-line depreciation.ledger-store— durable storage. The source of truth is an append-only, hash-chained JSONL journal; SQLite is a disposable projection rebuilt from it; receipts live in a content-addressed blob store. Drafts are durable, corrupt projections self-heal.ledger-mcp— the AI-first interface. 64 MCP tools over stdio or Streamable HTTP: draft → preview → post workflow, server-side receipt policy (>$25), anti-splitting detection, asset management, digest for human review, plus read-only resources for dashboards.ledger-import— QuickBooks interop. Import bank/credit-card CSVs and chart-of-accounts CSVs; export IIF journal entries (for QuickBooks Desktop) and XLSX reports.ledger-config— the company settings in a books dir'swanderbooks.toml.ledger-gui— the viewer: a read-only, live window on the books for owners and their accountant (egui). Answers first (cash, runway, profit, what needs attention), then every number drills down to its lines, its entry, the rendered receipt, and the journal history. Follows the journal live: a change the agent makes appears in milliseconds.--demoopens a realistic demo company.
Verification
This is the storytold way applied to accounting: agents verify against oracles, never ship what they haven't demonstrated.
- 190+ workspace tests: invariant tests encoding accounting law, golden-file report snapshots, property tests (proptest), end-to-end MCP stdio tests.
- Formal proofs of the accounting laws (
just prove,docs/verification.md). Kani model-checks the engine's arithmetic kernel exhaustively within bounds. Lean 4 proves that, after any sequence of commands, the trial balance balances, the accounting equation holds, posted entries are forever, closed periods stay frozen, and a close moves exactly the net income to equity. The first pass found three engine bugs that every test, fuzzer, and mutant had missed: negative amounts accepted, and two crashes on oversized amounts. It also caught a soundness bug in the model checker itself. - Mutation testing via cargo-mutants; fuzzing via cargo-fuzz (11.5M+ executions, zero crashes).
- GnuCash is a behavioral cross-check, never the authority and never a code source (clean room, MIT OR Apache-2.0). Accounting principles, proved, are the spec. Where any other program disagrees, we work out from principles who is right.
Status
Parity is 12 of 12 against the spreadsheet workflow it replaces
(docs/capability-parity.md). The parallel-run plan
(docs/parallel-run.md) is written; the Google Sheet stays the system of
record until a clean month and explicit cutover approval.
See plan/STATUS.md for where things stand and
plan/roadmap.md for where it's going.
Quickstart
cargo test # whole suite
cargo run -p ledger-mcp -- --data-dir /tmp/books # MCP server over stdio
cargo run -p ledger-gui -- --demo # the viewer, on a demo company
New books, one command (installs Rust and wanderbooks if needed, makes the books dir with the MCP server registered for it, and starts the agent):
curl -fsSL https://wanderbooks.ai/install.sh | sh -s -- ~/Books/Acme
Already installed: wanderbooks new ~/Books/Acme (add --codex to keep the
books with Codex instead of Claude Code). In a books dir, just
lists the shortcuts (just gui, just agent, just backup).
Developing
Every tool the recipes use (Rust, just, Kani, Lean, cargo-mutants,
cargo-fuzz, Node for deploys) is pinned in mise.toml:
