+Market prices and valuation
+---------------------------
+An instrument carries an optional market symbol, which is the listing its price
+is read from, and the last quote fetched for it with the day that quote closed.
+The symbol is set by hand and never derived: one ISIN lists on several exchanges
+in different currencies, an ISIN search returns the wrong one often enough to
+matter, and a price from the wrong listing misstates wealth without failing any
+check. A quote whose currency differs from the instrument's is refused and not
+stored.
+
+The quote belongs to the price job. Saving an instrument can neither set it nor
+erase it; changing the symbol discards it, because the stored price belongs to
+the previous listing. A symbol that cannot be priced keeps its last quote and is
+reported as a failure, so the failure mode is a stale figure with a visible
+date, never a wrong one. An instrument with no symbol is counted as unpriced,
+named in the report, and excluded from every total: cost is not value, and
+substituting it would report a number the journal cannot support.
+
+A quote is a rate, not money: money holds four decimal places, while a unit
+price can need more. Quotes are therefore stored at the share count's eight-
+place precision, and a provider figure is rounded to seven significant digits
+before it is stored. Seven is what a 32-bit float carries, and the provider's
+closes are 32-bit floats widened to 64: 165.26 arrives as 165.25999450683594,
+and rounding at eight would preserve 165.25999 as though it were a price.
+
+The provider is an undocumented, unauthenticated endpoint, and it refuses any
+request whose User-Agent names a programming language, so the client sends a
+browser agent; without it every fetch answers HTTP 429 on the first call. Runs
+are paced, fetches are bounded and never follow redirects, and no response text
+reaches an error message. The automatic run starts shortly after launch and
+repeats daily. Nothing is committed when no quote changed.
+
+A holding's value is its share count times its quote, rounded half away from
+zero to money's four places. Positions is that value summed per account, wealth
+is cash plus positions plus hand-valued assets, and result is value plus
+everything the position returned less everything put into it - the outcome to
+date, realised and not. A hand-valued asset (a house, a car, a private loan) is
+entered on the Wealth page with a stated value, a currency and the day the
+estimate was made; a negative value records a liability. None of these figures

Only the booked (CLBD) figure is used, never an available balance that includes pending amounts.

 **A rate-limited sync is a wait, not a fault.** While every failing bank has supplied a retry time, the dashboard reports that synchronization retries by itself after that moment, the account card shows a rate-limit badge instead of a connection error, and the background scheduler sleeps until the deadline rather than retrying hourly into a refusal it already knows about. **Sync now** still tries immediately.

+**AI classification → Analyse** runs in the background: the page shows how many transactions have been analysed, proposed changes, and every per-transaction failure as it happens, with a **Stop** button that abandons the run without writing anything. You can navigate away and return; the run keeps building and the page re-attaches to it. A run that has produced no successful result and fails **three times in a row with the same error** stops early and reports that error — a wrong key or an unsupported model surfaces within seconds instead of repeating across the whole range.
+
+Wherever a category or tag is assigned — the transaction editor, an **Analyse** correction, or a merchant's defaults — the picker creates missing entries in place. Type a name and choose **Create "…" in …**: a bare name lands under the kind's root, and **Parent / Name** creates under that parent. New tags are typed next to the tag checkboxes. Assignment pickers offer leaf categories only, matching what the server accepts, and an existing name is selected rather than duplicated. Creating during an **Analyse** review keeps the preview applicable as long as the transactions themselves are unchanged.
+
 ## Data, backups, and recovery
 
 Back up the **entire canonical finance directory**, including registry files, journals, `config.toml` when present, and operational/recovery state, plus any separately stored environment-managed secrets. `state/openrouter.json` and `state/enablebanking.json` contain UI-managed credentials: protect backups accordingly, including the matching banking session state. Stop the service for a consistent filesystem backup. DuckDB under `cache/` can be excluded and rebuilt.
