Account running balance report: report opening cutoff · case 03

Lines dated on the first report day are counted in the opening and again in the rows.

Case contract

x = {'normal': 'D'|'C', 'opening': balance before all lines, 'lines': [[seq, day, side, amount]], 'from': day, 'to': day}. Balances are signed positive on the normal side. The report opening is the opening plus every line dated before 'from'. Lines dated from..to inclusive are listed in (day, seq) order with the running balance after each; closing is the last running balance (the report opening if none). Return {'opening', 'rows': [[seq, day, running]], 'closing'}.

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: report opening cutoff	`{"closing": 0, "opening": 125, "rows": [[3, 5, 0]]}`	`{"closing": 125, "opening": 250, "rows": [[3, 5, 125]]}`	Failed
