The currency lives here

⛔ An account's currency is the source of truth for every line posted to it. Nothing typing an entry gets to choose one — post-batch reads it from the accounts and refuses an entry whose legs disagree. That is why this is the only place it is set, and why it cannot be changed later: changing it would silently restate every amount already recorded against the account.

⚠ kind is a label, not a rule. Nothing enforces that an expense account only ever goes up — double entry is enforced on the entry, not on the account, and a refund really does move an expense account the other way.

Ids

⚠ The id is what every line points at, forever. Short and stable beats descriptive; the name is the part you can change.
