CLAUDE.md — gnubok

Project Overview

gnubok is a Swedish-focused accounting SaaS for sole traders (enskild firma) and limited companies (aktiebolag). It implements double-entry bookkeeping compliant with Swedish accounting law (Bokforingslagen), including VAT handling, tax reporting, and 7-year document retention.

Tech stack: Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript (strict), Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS + email/password + TOTP MFA auth), Tailwind CSS 4 + shadcn/ui, Vercel hosting.

Integrations: Enable Banking (PSD2), Anthropic SDK, LangChain, OpenAI (embeddings), Resend (email), JSZip (archive export).

Path alias: @/* maps to the project root. Language: All code, comments, and commit messages in English.

Key Architectural Relationships

• All journal entry creation routes through lib/bookkeeping/engine.ts via createJournalEntry().
• API routes that emit events must call ensureInitialized() (from lib/init.ts) at module level.
• Event bus (lib/events/bus.ts) is a module-level singleton. Handlers run via Promise.allSettled.
• Supabase clients: browser (lib/supabase/client.ts), server with cookies (createClient() from server.ts), service role (createServiceClient()).
• Extension system: Opt-in via extensions.config.json. Core builds and runs with zero extensions.
• NE-bilaga, INK2 declaration, SRU export, and full archive export are core reports (in lib/reports/), not extensions.
• AI consent gate (lib/extensions/ai-consent.ts): AI extensions (receipt-ocr, ai-categorization, ai-chat) require user consent before API calls. Returns 403 AI_CONSENT_REQUIRED if missing.
• Types: All shared types in types/index.ts (single source of truth). Import via import type { T } from '@/types'. Event types live in lib/events/types.ts.

---

Authentication

Supabase Auth with email+password (primary) and magic link (fallback). MFA via TOTP is supported.

MFA is enforced application-side (middleware + API routes), not in RLS policies. Controlled by two env vars:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_SELF_HOSTED=true → MFA never enforced (users can enable voluntarily)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_REQUIRE_MFA=true (hosted/Vercel) → middleware redirects to /mfa/enroll or /mfa/verify until AAL2

---

Core Bookkeeping Engine

The engine (lib/bookkeeping/engine.ts) is the most critical system. All accounting flows route through it.

Lifecycle: createDraftEntry() → commitEntry() (assigns voucher number via DB RPC). Convenience: createJournalEntry() does both in one call. Reversal via reverseEntry() (storno). Correction via correctEntry() in lib/core/bookkeeping/storno-service.ts.

Key BAS Accounts

1510 Accounts receivable | 1930 Business bank account | 2013 Private withdrawals (EF) | 2440 Accounts payable | 2611/2621/2631 Output VAT 25%/12%/6% | 2641 Input VAT | 2645 Calculated input VAT (EU) | 2893 Shareholder loan (AB) | 3001/3002/3003 Revenue 25%/12%/6% | 3305/3308 Export/EU service revenue

VAT Treatments

standard_25, reduced_12, reduced_6, reverse_charge, export, exempt

Invoice items support individual vat_rate values (mixed-rate invoices). generatePerRateLines() in invoice-entries.ts groups by rate. Use getAvailableVatRates(customerType, vatNumberValidated) from lib/invoices/vat-rules.ts.

VAT Declaration Rutor (SKV 4700)

The VatDeclarationRutor type maps to the Swedish tax authority's momsdeklaration form:

• Ruta 05: Momspliktig försäljning — total domestic taxable sales (all rates combined, from 3001+3002+3003)
• Ruta 06/07: Unused (momspliktiga uttag / vinstmarginalbeskattning), always 0
• Ruta 10/11/12: Utgående moms 25%/12%/6% — output VAT per rate (from 2611/2621/2631)
• Ruta 39/40: EU services / Export (from 3308/3305)
• Ruta 48: Ingående moms — input VAT (from 2641/2645)
• Ruta 49: Moms att betala/återfå = (ruta 10 + 11 + 12) - ruta 48

VatDeclaration.breakdown.invoices also includes base25/base12/base6 for per-rate revenue breakdown in the UI.

Accounting Guard Rails

These rules exist for legal compliance, enforced by database triggers. Never violate them.

1. Committed entries are immutable. Once status: 'posted', cannot be edited or deleted (DB trigger).
2. Never delete posted entries. Use reverseEntry() (storno) to cancel.
3. Every entry must balance. sum(debits) === sum(credits), both > 0.
4. Voucher numbers are sequential. Assigned via DB RPC. Never set manually.
5. Period lock enforcement. DB trigger blocks writes to closed/locked periods.
6. 7-year document retention. DB triggers prevent deletion of documents linked to posted entries.
7. Storno, never edit. Use correctEntry() from lib/core/bookkeeping/storno-service.ts.
8. Use Math.round(x * 100) / 100 for monetary calculations. Never toFixed().
9. Always use engine functions. Never insert directly into journal tables.
10. Account numbers are strings. '1930', never 1930.

Extension System

Extensions are opt-in plugins in extensions/general/<name>/, controlled by extensions.config.json. Core builds and runs with zero extensions. npm run setup:extensions generates static imports in lib/extensions/_generated/ (runs automatically via predev/prebuild). Extensions cannot use dynamic imports (Next.js bundling).

API routes: Dispatched via catch-all at app/api/extensions/ext/[...path]/route.ts. URL: /api/extensions/ext/{extensionId}/{routePath}. Path params extracted as _paramName search params.

Service provider patterns:

• Interface registration (email): Core defines noop default in lib/email/service.ts, extension calls registerEmailService(), core uses getEmailService().
• Services record (ai-categorization): Extension exposes via services property, core looks up via extensionRegistry.get('id')?.services?.method(...).

Creating extensions: npx tsx scripts/create-extension.ts --name my-ext --sector general --category operations --description "...", then add to extensions.config.json.

---

API Route Pattern

import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { ensureInitialized } from '@/lib/init'
import { validateBody } from '@/lib/api/validate'
import { MySchema } from '@/lib/api/schemas'

ensureInitialized()  // Module-level — loads extensions for event emission

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const supabase = await createClient()
  const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
  if (!user) return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 })

  const result = await validateBody(request, MySchema)
  if (!result.success) return result.response

  // Business logic... always filter by user_id (defense in depth alongside RLS)
  // Wrap journal entry creation in try/catch (non-blocking side effect)
  return NextResponse.json({ data: result })
}

• Dynamic route params: { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> } (Next.js 16)
• Response shapes: { data } for success, { error } for failures

---

Testing

Framework: Vitest 4, globals: true, environment: 'node'. Tests colocated in __tests__/ directories. Scope: business logic in lib/ and API routes in app/api/. No component or E2E tests.

Test helpers (tests/helpers.ts): createMockSupabase(), createQueuedMockSupabase(), createMockRequest(), parseJsonResponse(), createMockRouteParams(), and fixture factories (makeTransaction(), makeJournalEntry(), makeInvoice(), makeCustomer(), makeSupplier(), makeSupplierInvoice(), makeFiscalPeriod(), makeReceipt(), makeDocumentAttachment(), makeCompanySettings(), makeInvoiceInboxItem(), etc.).

Patterns: Always mock @/lib/supabase/server. Use vi.clearAllMocks() and eventBus.clear() in beforeEach. API route tests: mock @/lib/init and lib functions, test auth (401), validation (400), not found (404), errors (500), happy path.

Database & Migrations

Location: supabase/migrations/ — 65 files. Early migrations use sequential numbering (20240101000001–20240101000038), later ones use real timestamps.

Migration Rules

1. Always enable RLS and create SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE policies using auth.uid() = user_id
2. Always add updated_at trigger using update_updated_at_column()
3. UUID primary keys: DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4()
4. User ownership: user_id UUID REFERENCES auth.users ON DELETE CASCADE NOT NULL
5. Never modify existing migrations — create new ones
6. Never modify enforcement triggers (migration 017) — legally required
7. Apply via Supabase MCP tool: mcp__plugin_supabase_supabase__apply_migration

---

Skills, Git & CI

Skills: Always use /frontend-design for new UI. Use langchain for AI features. Use vercel:deploy for deployment.

Git: Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, refactor:, test:, docs:). Atomic commits, branch from main.

CI (.github/workflows/core-build.yml): Resets extensions to empty, runs build + test, verifies no core code imports from @/extensions/ directly.

---

Deployment

Hosted on Vercel. Cron jobs defined in vercel.json (banking sync, deadlines, reminders, tax deadlines, document verification, sandbox cleanup).

Core env vars: NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, CRON_SECRET. Auth env vars: NEXT_PUBLIC_REQUIRE_MFA (set true on hosted), NEXT_PUBLIC_SELF_HOSTED (set true for Docker). Extension env vars only needed when that extension is enabled.

Other

Never create a NUL/nul file: \gnubok\NUL

Design Context

Users

Swedish sole traders (enskild firma) and small business owners (aktiebolag) who need to manage their own bookkeeping. They are not accountants — they are professionals (consultants, freelancers, shop owners) who want to stay compliant without hiring one. They use gnubok in short, focused sessions: sending an invoice, categorizing bank transactions, filing a VAT declaration. Speed and clarity matter — every second spent in the app is a second away from their real work.

Brand & Aesthetic

Minimal. Sharp. Efficient. The interface should feel like a well-made instrument: considered, quiet, and confident. Reference: Mercury (banking). Anti-reference: enterprise software (SAP/Oracle density).

• Palette: Grayscale foundation with restrained semantic colors — sage green (success/balance), terracotta (errors/overdue), ochre (warnings/attention). No loud brand color.
• Typography: Fraunces (serif) for display headings, Geist (sans) for body. Tabular numbers everywhere financial data appears.
• Surfaces: White/near-white cards on light gray backgrounds. Subtle borders (60% opacity). Soft shadows. Dark mode follows the same restraint.
• Spacing: Generous whitespace. Dense data (tables, ledgers) uses tighter spacing but never feels cramped.
• Motion: Subtle and purposeful. Stagger animations for list entry, spring easing for feedback. Never decorative.
• Icons: Lucide — 15px in navigation, slightly larger in empty states.

Design Principles

1. Clarity over cleverness. Every element immediately understandable. Clear labels (in Swedish), obvious hierarchy.
2. Earned minimalism. Remove what doesn't serve the task, but don't strip context that prevents compliance errors.
3. Numbers are first-class. Tabular-nums, proper alignment, adequate contrast, clear positive/negative distinction.
4. Trust through consistency. Same patterns, spacing, and behavior everywhere.
5. Speed is a feature. Optimize for the 90-second session.

Accessibility

• WCAG AA: 4.5:1 text contrast, 3:1 UI components
• Keyboard-navigable with visible focus rings
• Respect prefers-reduced-motion
• Color never sole indicator of state — always pair with icons, text, or shape
