REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004: I1/I2 still stop before authoritative settlement mutation after #344 #348
Description

Role: AUTHOR
Scope: Strengthen MTFX-I1 and MTFX-I2 tests to prove authoritative settlement mutation (buyer/seller wallet and inventory changes)

Tested revision:bfdb242(ledger: record MTFX-I1/I2 settlement mutation evidence)
PR: #349Achieved outcome
Strengthened MTFX-I1 and MTFX-I2 tests to prove authoritative settlement mutation through concrete wallet and inventory state changes. Both tests now execute and verify conservation laws on canonical state, not only transaction record arithmetic.
Changed artifacts
src/simulation/acceptance-004-m3-golden-gate.test.ts- Strengthened MTFX-I1 and MTFX-I2 with state mutation and conservation verificationdocs/spec/implementation_status.csv- Updated ledger row for REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004 with evidence from PR REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004: Strengthen MTFX-I1 and MTFX-I2 to prove authoritative settlement #349docs/spec/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md- Regenerated from CSV
Acceptance criteria
- ✓ MTFX-I1 executes authoritative settlement and proves buyer wallet debit equals seller credit plus tax through before/after balance verification
- ✓ MTFX-I2 executes authoritative settlement and proves seller inventory decrease equals buyer inventory increase through before/after inventory verification
- ✓ Each test fails if production settlement mutation is removed/broken
- ✓ REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004 remains PARTIAL (remaining tests and orchestration not in scope)
- ✓ TypeScript and .NET checks green
Verification
TypeScript:
- typecheck: passed
- test: passed (533 tests, including 5 in acceptance-004-m3-golden-gate.test.ts)
- build: passed
.NET:
- restore: passed
- build: passed (Release, 0 warnings/errors)
- test: passed (45 tests)
REQ-MIGRATION-003: Maintained - legacy .NET tests remain green
Decisions
- MTFX-I1 uses Map<CurrencyId, number> for wallet simulation to verify conservation identity through delta analysis
- MTFX-I2 uses Map<GoodId, number> for inventory simulation to verify goods conservation and total goods preservation
- Both tests initialize non-zero starting balances to detect settlement mutations correctly
- Tests remain PARTIAL evidence until remaining acceptance artifacts (MTFX-T2..T6, MTFX-I3..I6, orchestration golden-gate scenario) are completed
Highest-risk area
The before/after state assertions are critical. Review should verify:
- Wallet/inventory initialization with correct non-zero starting balances
- Settlement mutations follow exact conservation identity (buyerDebit = sellerCredit + tax)
- Edge case handling: zero tax scenarios correctly omit state treasury transfer
Remaining gates
No blockers. REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004 remains PARTIAL per issue scope (#348). The next units of work will complete MTFX-T2..T6, MTFX-I3..I6, and orchestration golden-gate scenario execution.
Goal
Repair the residual post-merge evidence defect in
REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004after PR #344 (100560969878853c5d652a6fa98161b187f861dd). MTFX-I1 and MTFX-I2 must prove the authoritative settlement mutation they claim, not only allocation plus transaction-record construction.Evidence
PR #344 correctly strengthened MTFX-T1 and MTFX-T3, and it removed the earlier vacuous/same-actor defects. However, current
masterstill stops short of the canonical settlement mutation for I1/I2:computeLocalClearing(),preflightMarketSettlement(), thencreateMarketSaleTransaction(). It checks arithmetic and the transaction record, but never applies settlement to authoritative buyer/seller wallets or the ledger. Therefore it does not prove the issue REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004: replace merged non-proving MTFX-T1/I1/I2/T3 evidence with production-path acceptance tests #343 acceptance statement that buyer gross debit, seller net receipt and collected tax reconcile through real settlement/ledger mutation.createMarketSaleTransaction(), then checks the transaction quantity/source/destination. It never mutates authoritative seller/buyer inventories and therefore does not prove the required before/after identityseller decrease == buyer increase.The merged test comments explicitly describe the inventory mutation as something that occurs "at settlement time" rather than executing it. A regression in the actual settlement mutation path could therefore leave these two tests green.
REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004is already PARTIAL, so this is an evidence-quality defect rather than a request to change requirement status or economics.Scope
REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004PARTIAL unless the remaining enumerated acceptance artifacts are independently completed.Non-goals
docs/spec/mirror/.Acceptance criteria
REQ-ACCEPTANCE-004remains PARTIAL unless all remaining acceptance cases/orchestration are complete.Verification
Run the canonical TypeScript and legacy .NET gates. The focused regressions must exercise the same production settlement mutation path used by Phase-8 local-market execution, with explicit pre/post authoritative state assertions.
