Jakob WennbergandClaude Sonnet 5 ec27228a8e style: remove em/en dashes repo-wide, add CLAUDE.md rule against them (#890)
Em dashes (—) and en dashes (–) had spread across comments, docs, tests,
and a few UI strings, reading as AI-generated boilerplate rather than
house style. Replaced each with punctuation matching its context: colon
for explanatory clauses, comma for asides, plain hyphen for numeric/legal
ranges (e.g. "21-23§"), "to"/"till" for date ranges, parentheses for
paired-dash asides. messages/en.json and messages/sv.json were fixed by
hand together to keep sv/en in sync.

Left untouched where the dash is the functional subject rather than
decorative punctuation: date-range-parser.ts's separator regex,
charset-repair.ts's CP1252 byte-mapping table (and its test), the SIE
encoding mojibake docs, generic-csv.ts's minus-sign normalizer, the
agent system-prompt files that already instruct against em dashes, and
a golden iXBRL test fixture compared byte-for-byte.

Also fixes two bugs surfaced along the way: an off-by-one in
ApiKeysPanel's scope-label split (a leftover from an earlier partial
pass), and a charset-repair test that had lost the literal en-dash it
exists to verify.

Regenerated the agent atom seed migration (skills:generate) since 27
SKILL.md files changed. Added a CLAUDE.md rule against em/en dashes,
with an explicit carve-out for the functional-dash cases above.

# Accounted MCP server
JSON-RPC 2.0 server exposing the Accounted bookkeeping engine to MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.). Endpoint: `/api/extensions/ext/mcp-server/mcp`. OAuth and stdio bridge live alongside the API surface: see `app/api/mcp-oauth/` and `packages/gnubok-mcp/`.
## Tool authoring contract
Enforced by tests in `__tests__/`: these are not style preferences, they're guard rails.
1. **`additionalProperties: false`** on every `inputSchema`. Guarded by `strict-schemas.test.ts`. Forces clear rejections on hallucinated fields instead of silent ignores.
2. **Descriptions ≤ 280 chars.** Guarded by `output-schema.test.ts`. No `Args:` / `Returns:` / `Examples:` prose: those belong in JSON Schema. Use agent-native hints ("Use to…", "Call X first", "HIGH risk").
3. **Staged-operation envelope** for write tools: `outputSchema: STAGED_OPERATION_SCHEMA` (`server.ts`). Fields: `staged, risk_level, actor, message, preview, period_status?, next?`. The `staged: true` boolean is the explicit completion signal; agents must not infer completion from prose. Do NOT introduce a parallel `{ success, shouldContinue, output }` envelope.
4. **`period_status` threading**: any tool that ties to a fiscal-period-bound date (categorize, mark paid, create voucher, correct/reverse entry, approve supplier invoice) passes `dateForPeriodCheck` to `stagePendingOperation`. Response then includes `period_status: { period_id, status: open|locked|closed, lock_date }` so widgets and agents disable writes without round-trips.
5. **Scope mapping**: every new tool needs an entry in `lib/auth/api-keys.ts` `TOOL_SCOPE_MAP`. Missing entries default to deny.
6. **Tests for new write tools**: add staging-gate coverage to `__tests__/voucher-tools.test.ts` (or a sibling) plus executor coverage to `lib/pending-operations/__tests__/voucher-executors.test.ts` if the tool stages a new `operation_type`.
## Determinism / cache stability
Tool definitions (name, description, inputSchema, outputSchema, annotations) are declared as static object literals at module load: no timestamps, no UUIDs, no Date/Math.random in the definition layer. This makes the `tools/list` JSON payload byte-stable across requests, which lets agent-side prompt caches stay warm. **Do not introduce per-request non-determinism into the definitions block.** Anything time-bound or random belongs inside `execute()`.
For internal Anthropic API usage (today only `extensions/general/invoice-inbox/lib/extract-invoice-fields.ts`): annotate stable prefixes with `cache_control: { type: 'ephemeral' }` and log `usage.cache_read_input_tokens` for hit-ratio observability. The 1h TTL from the agent-native API plan (item 10) requires the direct Anthropic API; Accounted's Bedrock path defaults to a shorter TTL.
## Payload-size watchdog
`payload-size.bench.test.ts` enforces a `tools/list` JSON payload ceiling (currently 36,000 tokens, bumped from 32,000 when top-level `Tool.title` landed on all tools for Claude Connectors Directory readiness). If the test fires, the right answer is rarely "raise the ceiling". Instead, trim descriptions or leverage `gnubok_search_tools` (already deployed; tool definitions can defer to it for discovery rather than enumerating in `tools/list`).
## Where things live
- `server.ts`: the tools array + JSON-RPC dispatcher
- `tool-result.ts`: `withNext()`, `toToolError()` response helpers
- `resources/`: read-only `Accounted://` URIs (active company, period, recent activity, capabilities, attention items, voucher gaps, chart of accounts, VAT treatments)
- `widgets/`: inline HTML widgets (receipt-matcher, vat-review)
- `prompts/`: slash-command-style prompts
- `skills/`: domain-knowledge skill bodies served via `gnubok_load_skill`
- `__tests__/`: strictness guards + per-tool coverage
