Joshua OosthuizenandClaude Sonnet 5 4acbc03b35 Initial commit: multi-company financial management system
Root company app (src/, client/) — GL foundation, AR, and AP:
- Segmented Chart of Accounts (Sage 300-style), double-entry PostingService with
  three-layer balance enforcement (app validation, CHECK constraints, deferred
  DB trigger), gap-free document numbering, RBAC with branch restrictions.
- Accounts Receivable: Customers, Invoices, Credit Notes, Receipts with
  allocation, all posting through PostingService.
- Accounts Payable: Suppliers, Supplier Invoices, Debit Notes, Payments with
  allocation, mirroring AR's posting pattern.
- Tax Codes shared between AR and AP.
- Company-app login is a token handoff from the Account Manager (RS256,
  single-use, company-scoped) rather than a local password.
- Frontend reskinned to the approved mockup: navy sidebar, dashboard, tree-view
  Chart of Accounts, Customer/Supplier 360 pages.

Account Manager (manager/, manager/client/) — central login gateway:
- Password + TOTP 2FA + Google/Microsoft OAuth, company picker, and the RS256
  handoff token issuance that the company app verifies.

Covered by unit + integration tests against a real Postgres database (GL
balance invariants, AR/AP posting correctness and allocation limits, the full
handoff exchange including replay/cross-company/expiry/forgery rejection).

# Setup — Phase 1 (Foundation)
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ (tested on v22)
- A reachable PostgreSQL 15+ database (this project does not use Docker)
## Login
This app has no local login screen — see `../manager/`. Sign-in happens once at the central
Account Manager (2FA, Google, Microsoft), which hands this app a short-lived signed token
(`POST /api/auth/handoff`) instead of a password. `../manager/keys/handoff-public.pem` must be
copied into `keys/handoff-public.pem` here (see step 4) before that will work.
## First-time setup
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in a real `DATABASE_URL`, two random JWT secrets
(e.g. `node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"`), and
`COMPANY_SLUG` (must match the `slug` of this company's `Company` row in the Manager). `.env`
is gitignored — never put real secrets in `.env.example`.
2. `npm install`
3. `npm run prisma:migrate` — applies all migrations, including the hand-written
`prisma/migrations/*_add_journal_balance_trigger/migration.sql` (the double-entry DB backstop;
source copy also kept at `prisma/manual-sql/add_journal_balance_trigger.sql` for reference).
4. `mkdir keys && cp ../manager/keys/handoff-public.pem keys/` (after running
`npm run generate-handoff-keys` in `../manager/` at least once).
5. `npm run prisma:seed` — creates the default 4-segment account structure, default Chart of
Accounts across two example branches (HQ, AMA), the GJ general journal, the 2026 fiscal year,
default roles/permissions, and an admin user (`joosth2002@icloud.com`, no local password —
this email must match the Manager `Person` who signs in).
6. `npm run dev` — starts the API on `http://localhost:4000` (see `PORT` in `.env`).
## Verifying it works
- `npm test` — unit tests (no DB required; validates PostingService's pre-write balance checks).
- `npm run test:integration` — integration tests against the real DB: posts balanced/unbalanced
entries through the full stack (including a direct raw-SQL attempt that proves the DB trigger
backstop works even if `PostingService` is bypassed), and exchanges real handoff tokens (minted
with the Manager's real private key) to prove sign-in, replay protection, and cross-company
rejection all work end-to-end.
- `npm run smoke` — seeds two sample balanced entries (HQ and AMA), confirms an unbalanced one is
rejected, and prints a Main-level trial balance check.
- `GET /health` — basic liveness check.
## Adding a new migration
Prisma's schema DSL can't express multi-row CHECK constraints or triggers, so any future raw-SQL
addition (e.g. more constraints) follows the same pattern used for the balance trigger:
1. `npx prisma migrate dev --create-only --name <description>`
2. Hand-edit the generated `migration.sql`
3. `npx prisma migrate dev` to apply it
