feat(transactions): steer private marking in locked periods to ignore, with v1 and MCP ignore verbs (#1661) (#2031)

Decision (option a): a private marking stays a real booking (eget uttag/insattning), so it remains blocked in a locked or closed period; the legal escape for rows that are not affarshandelser is ignore. Private + locked now returns TX_CATEGORIZE_PRIVATE_PERIOD_LOCKED with remediation naming the ignore paths instead of a bare PERIOD_LOCKED, on all four categorize surfaces and the bulk driver. New v1 POST/DELETE /transactions/{id}/ignore (isTransactionBooked-based 409, idempotent) and a staged MCP gnubok_ignore_transaction (+ accounted_ alias, search visibility to respect the tools/list payload ceiling) with operation_type ignore_transaction; the CHECK pair 20260831070000/070001 rebuilds the constraint from main's newest list plus the new value. Dashboard toast gains an Ignorera i stallet action. Closes #1661

 [2026-08-28] /migrate SIE guard skips company-info-only runs (all entity flags false) and the wizard derives "SIE already imported" from the preview OR this session's successful /import-sie results: company info writes no accounts, balances or subledger rows, so the BFL rationale does not apply; and the one-shot preview went stale after phase 1 succeeded and phase 2 failed, falsely blocking an entities-only retry (#2000 review).
 [2026-08-28] get_vat_ruta_source_lines (the VAT ruta drill-down) now applies the same four exclusions as get_vat_declaration_totals (the filed figure): posted closing entries, source_type 'vat_settlement', the two kontantmetod year-end reversals, and settlement-SHAPED entries (a line on a ruta account plus a line on 2650/1650). It previously filtered on company, status and date only, so expanding a ruta listed verifikat that are not in the number it claims to explain, with no total on the panel to reveal the mismatch. Measured on prod 2026-08-28: 322 posted/reversed entries carrying 26xx lines across 214 companies sit in those excluded classes. A momsdeklaration is räkenskapsinformation (BFL 5 kap.) and this drill-down is what substantiates a filed figure, so the two must agree exactly. The exclusion CTEs are lifted VERBATIM from the figure rather than re-derived: any divergence reintroduces exactly this bug, and an identical copy is easy to diff when the figure changes. Settlement-shape is detected against journal_entry_lines directly instead of through the figure's vat_lines CTE, which is EQUIVALENT not a shortcut (p_ruta_accounts = VAT_ACCOUNTS and p_net_accounts = ['2650','1650'] are both strict subsets of the figure's p_accounts, so restricting to vat_lines first cannot change which entries match); that keeps p_accounts meaning "the accounts of the ruta being expanded" without a fourth account parameter. opening_balance entries are deliberately NOT excluded: the figure exempts them from `shaped`, which keeps their lines IN the totals, so dropping them here would break the equality in the other direction (pinned by its own test). VAT_ACCOUNTS is now exported from lib/reports/vat-declaration.ts so the route detects shape from the same list the figure uses; a second copy is what let the two disagree. DROP + CREATE OR REPLACE, not CREATE OR REPLACE alone: the signature gains p_ruta_accounts/p_net_accounts and adding parameters registers a second overload PostgREST cannot choose between (trap documented in 20260421140000); OR REPLACE on the new arity keeps the file re-runnable. Verified the new pg test actually catches the bug by reinstalling the old body and watching 3 of 4 tests fail with the real misreporting (2611: drill-down 250/240 vs figure 0/200), then restoring.
 [2026-08-28] Bankavstamning NULL-link fix scoped to transfer legs with contradicting sign (20260828220000): the naive rule (NULL counts only for the primary account) and the formula-only variant (drop far-leg-settled vouchers from unexplained) were both simulated against prod and rejected; the naive rule worsened 4 of 11 affected cards (worst -37 000 kr false alarm on single-leg vouchers with no user action available), the formula variant blew up healthy cards by up to 474 550 kr. The shipped three-condition rule changes 24 vouchers on 7 cards in 6 companies, all verified per-card.
+[2026-08-29] Issue #1661 resolved as option (a): a private marking (is_business=false) STAYS a real booking (eget uttag/insättning on 2013/2018, 2893 for an AB) and therefore stays blocked in a locked or closed period; the actionable path for a row that is no affärshändelse (PSD2 ghost row, duplicate from a reconnect, never-executed transfer) is ignore, which writes no verifikat and is allowed in any period. No ledger or schema semantics changed. A "no-booking private flag" (option b) was rejected: an owner withdrawal IS an affärshändelse under BFL 5 kap 1 § and must be booked, so skipping the verifikat for unbooked private rows would let real withdrawals vanish from a period with nothing in the ledger; the 2026-07-26 lock-guard entry already judged ignore the legal escape hatch and the DB CHECK transactions_is_ignored_no_journal_entry guarantees an ignored row is unbooked. Shipped as: TX_CATEGORIZE_PRIVATE_PERIOD_LOCKED (400, details.suggested_action 'ignore') on all four categorize surfaces instead of a bare PERIOD_LOCKED, a v1 ignore verb (POST/DELETE /transactions/{id}/ignore), a staged MCP tool gnubok_ignore_transaction (op type ignore_transaction, risk low), and an "Ignorera i stället" toast action on the Transaktioner page. The regex-matched phrases in period-service.ts lock/close messages are untouched.
+[2026-08-29] gnubok_ignore_transaction ships in the DEFAULT MCP catalog (payload ceiling 64.4K to 65K with a ledger entry, measured 64 863), not with catalogVisibility 'search' as the #1661 plan preferred: gnubok_call_tool bridges READ tools only, so a search-only WRITE is uncallable on Claude.ai (the 2026-08-26 connect-tools and 2026-08-27 update_customer entries), and the TX_CATEGORIZE_PRIVATE_PERIOD_LOCKED remediation, three workflow loadouts and the reconcile-month skill instruct agents to CALL it; a search-only tool would reproduce exactly the dead end those entries fixed. Extending gnubok_categorize_transaction with an ignore flag was rejected: it would muddle a booking tool with triage (the error came from that very call), still needs the new op type, and the dashboard and v1 doors have a distinct verb. The read-demotion rule in the bench is skipped for the same reason as the set_run_salary entry: picking the read needs prod usage data.
+[2026-08-29] Ignore has one core, lib/transactions/ignore.ts (setTransactionIgnored), called by the dashboard route, the v1 verb and the pending-operation executor; "already booked" is isTransactionBooked() across all three anchors (journal_entry_id, invoice/supplier payment allocations, transaction_voucher_links), replacing the dashboard route's bare journal_entry_id check, which let a bulk-booked or multi-allocated row (journal_entry_id NULL) be ignored while a verifikat still carried it. Restore (ignored=false) skips the booked check on purpose: the DB CHECK already guarantees an ignored row is unbooked, so the lookup would be three wasted queries.
+[2026-08-30] The ignore_transaction CHECK migration pair is versioned 20260831070000/070001 (re-versioned from 20260830100000/100001 before merge): above every file on origin/main (20260828220000 at the time) and above the 20260829000100 seed_agent_atom_bodies version found applied on the shared local stack (:54322, another session's work in progress), so it sorts after anything already applied wherever it lands; a version that sorts below an already-applied one is the shape that forced the 20260727140000 to 170000 rename, and the pair was renamed from 20260829120000/120001 at review to sit on the day it ships. The pair was verified on that stack inside a rolled-back transaction only (accepts ignore_transaction, rejects an unknown type with 23514, keeps set_run_salary); the stack itself was left untouched because it is behind main and not this session's to mutate, so the pg-real suite runs in CI.
 [2026-08-30] scripts/self-host/{backup,restore}.sh keep ACLs (--no-owner, no --no-privileges) AND restore.sh resets the restoring role's ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to PostgreSQL's built-in acldefault() before pg_restore, then diffs an ACL manifest (acl-manifest.sql: what anon/authenticated/service_role may do with every public function and relation, ordered under collate "C") that backup.sh took from the source: the migrations carry ~170 REVOKE statements that lock SECURITY DEFINER RPCs (create_company_for_brand_signup, get_dashboard_nav_flags, reserve_voucher_range, ...) away from anon/authenticated, and keeping ACLs alone does not preserve them because pg_dump writes ACLs as a diff against acldefault() (never "REVOKE FROM anon") while a Supabase target's default privileges re-grant anon/authenticated on every restored function and table; reproduced on supabase/postgres 15 (get_dashboard_nav_flags came back anon-executable) and drilled with the real scripts (576 public objects identical after restore, tampered manifest caught). Reset means exactly acldefault, not just "revoke anon/authenticated/service_role": every added grantee including PUBLIC is revoked (IN SCHEMA entries are additive and vanish once empty), and a global entry that took PUBLIC's built-in EXECUTE on functions or USAGE on types away gets it back, so a function the source never touched (NULL ACL) restores PUBLIC-executable; the restoring role's defaults are whatever the stack set, and the dump's DEFAULT ACL section re-creates them once every object exists. A manifest mismatch has no override: it is the one thing a restore drill must never pass silently. Rejected: re-applying GRANT/REVOKE statements harvested from supabase/migrations after pg_restore, because it needs a parser for 700 files, drifts as soon as a function is dropped or renamed, and still would not verify the outcome.
 [2026-08-28] Skill, atom and API-doc texts must never claim a capability is absent when it is gated (#546): Peppol send has been live since 2026-08-21 behind a per-company access grant (app/api/invoices/[id]/peppol/send, scripts/peppol/access.ts), yet invoicing-rules, customer-onboarding, the swedish-invoice-compliance atom, docs/PEPPOL_FOUNDATION.md and the v1 :send/:mark-sent descriptions still told agents it did not exist, which sends B2G users to a competitor. Every touched text now says "gated per company, request under Inställningar > Fakturering", keeps the restrictions explicit (aktiebolag senders only, standard invoices only, no MCP or v1 send verb yet) so agents do not over-promise to enskild firma users, and keeps the external-provider + gnubok_mark_invoice_as_sent fallback for companies without access. The skills guard test was inverted from pinning "no Peppol send" to pinning the truthful claim, so a future regression in either direction fails CI.

 [2026-08-30] Skeptic round on PR #2047: cutoff armed by a completed sie_imports row (API clients can post source_type='import', which would false-mark never-migrated companies) and omforingsverifikation excluded by description prefix instead of voucher_series 'M' (imported vouchers keep the source file's series; 6 prod companies use series M for real vouchers). Residual known gap: skip-window covered only by the omforing stays unmarked; DuplicateBookingDialog is the backstop.
 [2026-08-30] Correction to the PR #2047 residual-gap note: the DuplicateBookingDialog backstop only covers a single skipped bank movement within 7 days of the omforing's fiscal-year-end date; mid-year and aggregated-skip variants are unmitigated and accepted on rarity (conjunction of skipped voucher + tail date + synced account + fetched history). Exact closure = persist skipped-voucher max date as coverage_end on sie_imports at import time (skippedDetails already has the dates); filed as follow-up.
 [2026-08-30] Receipt-hunt excludes prominent-amounts fallback candidates (amountSource tag on UnderlagCandidate): the nightly hunt scans outflows only and its 0.8 skip-adjudication threshold was calibrated for invoice totals, so a fallback pair (0.85 on date+printed-figure, no merchant) would auto-classify certain on a wrong-by-construction pairing.

+ *
+ * Ignoring is the legal escape hatch for a bank row that is not an
+ * affärshändelse (a PSD2 ghost row, a duplicate from a reconnect, a transfer
+ * that never executed): it writes no verifikat, so BFL 5 kap. does not apply
+ * and a locked or closed period does not block it. A private marking, by
+ * contrast, IS a booking (eget uttag/insättning, or 2893 for an AB) and stays
+ * subject to the period lock.
+ *
+ * Three doors call this one function so they cannot drift:
+ *   - the dashboard route (app/api/transactions/[id]/ignore)
+ *   - the v1 REST verb (app/api/v1/.../transactions/[id]/ignore)
+ *   - the MCP executor for the staged ignore_transaction operation
+ *     (lib/pending-operations/commit.ts)
+ *
+ * "Already booked" is decided by isTransactionBooked(): a bulk-booked or
+ * multi-allocated row keeps transactions.journal_entry_id NULL and is anchored
+ * through transaction_voucher_links / invoice_payments /
+ * supplier_invoice_payments instead. A bare journal_entry_id check would let

+
+**Ignore a bank transaction (no verifikat, allowed in locked periods).**
+`scope:transactions:write · risk:low · idempotent · dry-run · reversible`
+
+Marks an unbooked bank transaction as ignored so it leaves the "to book" funnels and the reconciliation unmatched totals without creating a verifikat. Nothing is deleted and the flag is reversible with DELETE on the same path. Because no booking is written, a locked or closed fiscal period does not block it: this is the path for clearing rows that are not business events out of a closed period. A booked transaction (directly, via a payment allocation, or via a voucher link) is refused with 409 TX_IGNORE_ALREADY_BOOKED. Idempotent: ignoring an already-ignored row returns already_ignored: true. Dry-runnable.
+
+**Use when:** The row is not an affärshändelse: a PSD2 ghost row, a duplicate from a bank reconnect, a transfer that never executed, rounding noise. Also the answer to TX_CATEGORIZE_PRIVATE_PERIOD_LOCKED from /categorize when the row should not be booked at all.
+**Do not use for:** Real purchases, payments or owner withdrawals: those must be booked (categorize, match-invoice, or is_business: false in an open period). Ignoring is triage, not bookkeeping.
+
+**Pitfalls:**
+- Idempotency-Key is mandatory.
+- A booked row cannot be ignored: reverse it first (POST /transactions/{id}/uncategorize) or unlink the payment/voucher.
+- Ignored rows still exist and are listed on the reconciliation bridge's ignored line; they never disappear silently.
