Revalued balances move inversely to the exchange rate.

Case contract

x = {'bid': [num, den], 'ask': [num, den], 'accounts': [[name, 'asset'|'liability', monetary, foreign units, carried home cents]]}. Monetary assets are revalued at the bid rate and monetary liabilities at the ask rate: home = foreign * num / den rounded half-up per account. Non-monetary accounts keep their carried amount. Unrealized gain sums (new - carried) for assets and (carried - new) for liabilities. Return {'balances': [[name, home]], 'unrealized_gain'}.

Why this case matters

Ledger software must keep debits equal to credits and apply normal-balance, period and cutoff rules exactly; small sign or boundary slips silently misstate financial statements.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: rate orientation	`{"balances": [["a0", 1], ["a1", 1002], ["a2", 1], ["a3", 1003]], "unrealized_gain": 1}`	`{"balances": [["a0", 2], ["a1", 1002], ["a2", 2], ["a3", 1003]], "unrealized_gain": -1}`	Failed
