On the live books a reconnected bridge got no token from a keyring that couldn't be read, was told to "make a token", and after `token create --replace` kept on with the new token in memory while `download` read a revoked one from the keyring. - tokens.rs INVARIANT 4: keeping a token removes every item for its account in every collection, makes one and reads it back; reading finds every item and, finding several, refuses with how to keep one again; a locked or unreachable keyring is KeyringError::Unavailable, never "no token". The logic is shared by the OS keyring and the test files (now a folder per collection a test can lock, make unreachable, or plant a second item in). - make_token reads the token back before saying anything, or revokes it. - The bridge tells the agent the keyring is locked or unreachable and the token is fine (or that it holds several items), never to make a token; it reads the keyring again before every new session, even with a token held. - `wanderbooks token check --book ID [--name N]`: whether the token kept here is the books' live one, asked by its SHA-256 (admin op token_check), never its text.

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, the statement of cash flows (direct method, with the reconciliation and noncash schedules), 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' private folder, starts books called acme and lets Claude Code reach
them; nothing needs sudo):
curl -fsSL https://wanderbooks.ai/install.sh | sh -s -- acme
Already installed, three commands: wanderbooks setup, wanderbooks books create acme, wanderbooks connect claude --book acme (or connect codex).
Then talk to the agent; wanderbooks gui acme shows the books, and its
Books menu backs them up, restores, starts new books and closes them.
Developing
Every tool the recipes use (Rust, just, Kani, Lean, cargo-mutants,
cargo-fuzz, Node for deploys) is pinned in mise.toml:
