**`order_total(order)` in `shop/orders.py` (line 15)** computes the final amount — its docstring is literally "Final amount the customer pays: goods, discount, tax, shipping."

Its call chain:

1. **`subtotal(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` line 4 — sums `line.subtotal` per line, which is the `OrderLine.subtotal` property in `shop/models.py` (line 21, `unit_price * quantity`).
2. **`pricing.apply_discount(goods, order.item_count())`** — `shop/pricing.py` line 8 — 10% bulk discount when quantity > 10; `order.item_count()` is `Order.item_count` in `shop/models.py` (line 32).
3. **`pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)`** — `shop/pricing.py` line 15 — VAT by country rate.
4. **`shipping_cost(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` line 8 — which internally calls `subtotal(order)` again.
5. `round(discounted + tax + shipping, 2)` — builtin.

One quirk worth noting: `shipping_cost` returns 0.0 when `subtotal < 50.0` and 4.90 otherwise — the inverse of its docstring ("orders at or above the free-shipping threshold ship free"). Nothing was changed.

text:
Two files in this project reference `shop.pricing` — verified by grep and the dependency graph:

1. **`shop/orders.py`** (line 2: `from shop import pricing`) — calls `pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)` at line 19. A signature change (e.g. renaming `amount`/`country`, making `country` positional-only, or changing defaults) breaks `order_total` here. It also calls `pricing.apply_discount` (line 18).
2. **`tests/acceptance.py`** (line 10: `from shop import orders, pricing, report, storage`) — calls `pricing.compute_tax(100.0, "US")` at line 49.

No other file imports or calls the module — `cli.py`, `inventory.py`, `models.py`, `report.py`, `storage.py`, `shop/__init__.py` don't touch it.

Caveat: the dependency graph also surfaced identical copies of `shop/pricing.py`, `orders.py`, etc. under `xampp/htdocs/playground/ai-portfolio/whitepapers/08-model-versus-harness/data/shop/` — those live outside this project's folder, so they don't break *here*, but if that whitepaper copy is ever run against a changed `pricing.py` signature it would too. Nothing was modified.

text: **`storage.save`** (`shop/storage.py`, line 7): it truncates and writes `data/catalogue.json` directly via `open(path, "w")` with no temp file, backup, or atomic rename, so any crash, disk-full, or serialization error mid-write silently leaves the entire catalogue truncated or half-written — and it reports success via the return count, so nothing signals the corruption. (Runner-up: `inventory.reserve` happily lets stock go negative since it never checks availability before subtracting.)

Both files read, plus the data source and how the inventory is built. Here's the full picture.

## How the numbers are produced

**Where stock numbers come from (inventory.py):** `Inventory` is just a dict `{sku: Product}`. In `cli.py` it's built as `Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))` — `storage.load` deserializes each JSON row into a `Product` dataclass (`sku`, `name`, `unit_price`, `stock`, `category`). So every number a report prints is literally the `stock` field from `data/catalogue.json`, read through `p.stock`. `reserve()` and `restock()` mutate that same in-memory `Product.stock` — but note they never call `storage.save`, so changes only live in memory until something persists them.

**`stock_report(inventory)` (report.py):** Iterates `sorted(inventory.products.items())` — products sorted by SKU (the dict keys). For each it takes `p.name[:24].ljust(24)` (truncated to 24 chars, left-padded) and `str(p.stock).rjust(6)` (right-aligned to 6 chars), and emits `| name | qty |`. There is **zero computation** — no sums, no thresholds, just the current stock verbatim for every product.

**`low_stock_report(inventory, threshold=5)`:** Identical loop, but skips anything with `p.stock > threshold` — i.e. it *keeps* products with stock **≤ 5**. Note it's inclusive of 5, and out-of-stock items (0) count as low.

**`category_report`:** Same again, filtered by `p.category`.

**`top_products(sales, limit=3)`:** The odd one out — it doesn't touch inventory at all. It sorts the `sales` dict **ascending** by value (`key=lambda kv: kv[1]`), then takes the first 3. Despite the docstring saying "Best-selling products first", ascending sort means you get the **lowest**-count products first. Looks like an inverted `reverse=True` bug, but I haven't changed anything per your instruction.

## The two reports, derived exactly from the code + `data/catalogue.json`

Stock report:
```
| Widget                  |     40 |
| Gadget                  |     12 |
| Doohickey               |      3 |
| Thingamajig             |      0 |
```

Low-stock report (threshold 5, inclusive):
```
| Doohickey               |      3 |
| Thingamajig             |      0 |
```

(Since this turn is read-only I couldn't execute `python` to print them, but the output above is a faithful hand-derivation of `stock_report`/`low_stock_report` over the four catalogue rows — the exact character formatting included.)

## Products in both
**Doohickey (SKU-3)** and **Thingamajig (SKU-4)** appear in both reports — they're the only two at or below 5 units.

## One thing worth flagging (not touched)
While reading `orders.py` for context: `shipping_cost()` does `if subtotal(order) < 50.0: return 0.0` — free shipping below 50€, 4.90€ above. That's inverted *and* contradicts the standing rule we just saved (free at 75, never lower). Say the word and I'll fix it (in a separate turn, since this one is read-only).

text:
Both files are small, so here's a function-by-function walkthrough, then the fresh-install trace.

## shop/storage.py — JSON persistence

**`save(path, products)`**
- Takes a list of `Product` objects, maps each to a plain dict (`sku`, `name`, `unit_price`, `stock`, `category`), and writes the whole list to `path` with `json.dump(..., indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)` — pretty-printed, and non-ASCII (e.g. Greek) names stay readable instead of becoming `\uXXXX`.
- Opens the file with mode `"w"`, so it creates the file if missing and truncates it if present.
- Returns `len(data)` — the number of products written.
- Note: it never round-trips `p.unit_price` through any rounding, and it ignores whatever category default the dataclass has — the dict always carries `category` explicitly.

**`load(path)`**
- Opens with `encoding="utf-8"`, `json.load`s it, and returns `[Product(**row) for row in raw]` — each JSON row becomes a `Product` dataclass via keyword unpacking.
- No try/except at all: a missing file → `FileNotFoundError`, corrupt JSON → `JSONDecodeError`, a row missing a required key → `TypeError`. No defaults, no fallback.

## shop/cli.py — entry point

**`build_demo_order(inv)`**
- Hard-coded demo order `D-1` for customer `demo`, country `GR`, with two lines: SKU-1 ×2 and SKU-2 ×1. Unit prices are pulled **live** from the inventory (`inv.get("SKU-1").unit_price`) rather than hard-coded. If the catalogue lacks those SKUs, `inv.get(...)` returns `None` → `AttributeError`.

**`main(argv=None)`**
- Defaults `argv` to `sys.argv[1:]`. **First** thing it does, before any command dispatch, is `inv = Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))`.
- If the first arg is `"stock"`: prints `report.stock_report(inv)` and returns 0.
- Otherwise (no args, or *any* unknown arg): builds the demo order and prints `total: {order_total(order):.2f}`. Unknown commands are silently treated as "print the total" — there's no usage/error message.
- Note the asymmetry: the CLI exposes only the stock report; `report.low_stock_report` and `report.category_report` exist but have no CLI command.

## Fresh install with no catalogue file

`python -m shop.cli` (or `python -m shop.cli stock`) hits `storage.load("data/catalogue.json")` on line 1 of `main()`, and `open(path)` raises **`FileNotFoundError`** with a raw traceback and exit code 1. Because:

- the load happens before any argument dispatch (so even `stock` fails identically),
- nothing anywhere catches it, and
- nothing bootstraps the file — `save()` is the only writer, and no code path calls it (CLI never saves, inventory mutations never persist).

So both README commands fail on a fresh clone until `data/catalogue.json` exists manually. The demo order path would additionally crash with `AttributeError` if the file existed but lacked SKU-1/SKU-2.

No files changed, per your instruction.

text:
All modules read and verified. One line each:

- **`shop/__init__.py`** — package marker; sets `__version__ = "0.3.0"`.
- **`shop/models.py`** — data types: `Product`, `OrderLine` (with `subtotal`), `Order` (with `item_count`).
- **`shop/inventory.py`** — in-memory stock: `Inventory` dict keyed by SKU with `get`/`available`/`reserve`/`restock`, raising `OutOfStock` for unknown SKUs.
- **`shop/pricing.py`** — discounts & VAT: 10% bulk discount over 10 units, per-country VAT (GR 24% / DE 19% / US 0%), `line_total`.
- **`shop/orders.py`** — order money math: `subtotal`, `shipping_cost`, and `order_total` (goods + discount + tax + shipping).
- **`shop/storage.py`** — JSON persistence: `save()` writes products to disk (indent 2, UTF-8), `load()` reads them back into `Product`s.
- **`shop/report.py`** — text reports: `top_products`, `stock_report`, `category_report`, `low_stock_report`.
- **`shop/cli.py`** — entry point: loads the catalogue, then prints the stock report (arg `stock`) or the demo order total (default).
- **`tests/acceptance.py`** — 14 regression checks spanning every module; exit 0 = all green.

**Most tightly coupled pair: `shop/orders.py` ↔ `shop/pricing.py`.** `order_total` doesn't compute discount or tax itself — it delegates to `pricing.apply_discount()` and `pricing.compute_tax()`, so orders' output is entirely determined by pricing's behavior; a change to either pricing function ripples straight into every order total. Nothing else in the project has a behavioral dependency that deep. Honourable mention: `cli.py` is the import hub (pulls in orders, report, storage, inventory, models), but that's fan-out — it couples to many modules lightly, whereas orders↔pricing is a tight one-to-one link. No files changed.

change_detail_raw: discount still applies above the threshold


answer without touching

text:
The final amount is computed by **`order_total(order)`** in **`shop/orders.py`** (line 15). Here's the call chain:

**`order_total(order)`** calls:
1. **`subtotal(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` (line 4) — sums `line.subtotal` for each line, which is the **`OrderLine.subtotal`** property in `shop/models.py` (line 21, `unit_price * quantity`).
2. **`order.item_count()`** — `Order.item_count` method in `shop/models.py` (line 32) — total units across lines, used for the bulk-discount threshold.
3. **`pricing.apply_discount(goods, quantity)`** — `shop/pricing.py` (line 8) — applies the 10% bulk discount when `quantity > BULK_THRESHOLD` (10).
4. **`pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)`** — `shop/pricing.py` (line 15) — VAT from `VAT_RATES` (GR 24%, DE 19%, US 0%), rounded to cents.
5. **`shipping_cost(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` (line 8) — which itself re-calls `subtotal(order)` and charges €4.90 below the free-shipping threshold of €50 (note: free shipping kicks in *below* 50.0 here, i.e. ≥ €50 pays — looks inverted vs. the docstring).

Final result: `round(discounted + tax + shipping_cost, 2)`. Nothing was created, edited, or deleted.

text:
Verified by grep across the whole project — only **two files** import/call `shop.pricing`:

1. **`shop/orders.py`** — `from shop import pricing` (line 2), then calls `pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)` at line 19 (positional args, inside `order_total`).
2. **`tests/acceptance.py`** — `from shop import orders, pricing, report, storage` (line 10), then calls `pricing.compute_tax(100.0, "US")` at line 49 in the `"pricing: zero-rated country pays no tax"` check.

No other file (`cli.py`, `report.py`, `inventory.py`, `storage.py`, `models.py`, `__init__.py`) references `pricing` or `compute_tax` at all — the only other `compute_tax` hit is the definition itself in `shop/pricing.py:15`.

Both call sites pass arguments positionally, so any signature change (renaming/removing parameters, changing order, or making `amount` non-first) breaks them at runtime. Both would break with a `TypeError` — `orders.py` at import/run time, `acceptance.py` when the suite runs. If you change the signature, update both call sites together.

text:
**`shipping_cost(order)` in `shop/orders.py` (line 8)** — its condition is inverted against its own docstring (`subtotal < 50.0` returns free, so orders at/above the €50 free-shipping threshold actually get charged €4.90), silently inflating the amount every qualifying customer pays with no error raised, and since `order_total` adds it in without complaint, nothing in the pipeline flags the wrong total.

Runner-up: `Inventory.reserve` in `shop/inventory.py` decrements stock without checking sufficiency, so overselling drives stock silently negative — but it raises `OutOfStock` for unknown SKUs, just not for quantity, whereas `shipping_cost` corrupts money on every qualifying order.


text: Saved as a durable convention for that project (key `free-shipping.threshold`): free shipping kicks in at 75 euro, never lower. No code touched.

text:
`run_powershell` is blocked this turn (read-only), so I derived the reports directly from `data/catalogue.json` instead of executing them — same numbers.

## How the reports get their numbers

**Data source.** `report.py` never touches the JSON. It takes an `Inventory` object, which is built by `Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))` (cli.py:18). `storage.load` reads the JSON and constructs `Product` dataclasses (`sku, name, unit_price, stock, category`). `Inventory.__init__` (inventory.py:10) re-indexes those into a dict `{sku: Product}` — that dict is the single source every report iterates.

**The numbers themselves** are the live `p.stock` values on those `Product` objects. Reports read them; they don't compute or transform them. `p.stock` changes only through `Inventory.reserve()` (subtracts) and `Inventory.restock()` (adds) — so a report always reflects the current in-memory stock, which is only as fresh as the last `storage.load`.

**`stock_report(inventory)`** (report.py:10–16): iterates `inventory.products.items()` sorted by SKU, and for each product renders `p.name` truncated to 24 chars (`[:24]`, left-justified) and `p.stock` right-justified to 6, in the line `| {name} | {qty} |`. Every product appears, regardless of stock level.

**`low_stock_report(inventory, threshold=5)`** (report.py:30–38): same iteration and rendering, but skips any product where `p.stock > threshold` — so it includes everything at **or below** the threshold (note the `>`/`continue`, i.e. `stock <= 5` is "low"). The threshold is a parameter defaulting to 5.

## Printed output

**Stock report** (all 4 products, SKU order):

```
| Widget                |     40 |
| Gadget                |     12 |
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

**Low-stock report** (threshold 5, i.e. stock ≤ 5):

```
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

**In both:** `Doohickey` (SKU-3, 3 units) and `Thingamajig` (SKU-4, 0 units). Gadget at 12 and Widget at 40 appear only in the full stock report.

One quirk worth knowing: `top_products` (report.py:4) sorts ascending, so with `limit=3` it actually returns the *worst* sellers — but it's unused by the CLI, which only wires up `stock`.

text:
Both files read (plus `orders.py`, `models.py`, `__init__.py` and `tests/acceptance.py` for context). Nothing changed.

## `shop/storage.py` — JSON persistence

- **`save(path, products)`** (lines 7–13): takes a list of `Product` objects, flattens each to a plain dict with exactly 5 keys — `sku, name, unit_price, stock, category` — then writes the whole list with `json.dump(..., indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)` (pretty-printed, non-ASCII like Greek names written literally, not `\u`-escaped). Opens the file in write mode `"w"` with **no encoding specified**. Returns `len(data)` — the count of products written. Note: any extra fields on a `Product` are silently dropped, and this function is never called by the CLI — only by external callers (the acceptance test uses it against a tempfile).
- **`load(path)`** (lines 16–19): opens the file with `encoding="utf-8"`, runs `json.load`, and maps each row back to a `Product` via `Product(**row)`. Keyword-unpacking means an unknown key in the JSON raises `TypeError`; a missing key raises `TypeError` too, except `category` which has a default of `"general"`. Returns a list of `Product` objects, in file order.

One asymmetry worth flagging: `load` reads UTF-8 explicitly, `save` writes with the platform default encoding — on Windows that's typically cp1252, so a `save`→`load` round-trip can mangle non-ASCII names.

## `shop/cli.py` — command-line entry point

- **`build_demo_order(inv)`** (lines 9–13): hardcodes a demo `Order` ("D-1", customer "demo", country "GR") with two lines — SKU-1 ×2 and SKU-2 ×1 — taking the *current* unit prices from the inventory (`inv.get(sku).unit_price`) rather than literals. Implicit assumption: SKU-1 and SKU-2 must exist in the catalogue, or `inv.get()` returns `None` and `.unit_price` raises `AttributeError`.
- **`main(argv=None)`** (lines 16–24): `argv` defaults to `sys.argv[1:]`. First, unconditionally loads the catalogue: `Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))`. Then: if the first argument is exactly `"stock"`, prints the stock report and returns 0. **Anything else** — no argument at all, or any unrecognized flag — silently falls through to building the demo order and printing `total: {orders.order_total(order):.2f}` (goods → discount → tax → shipping via `orders.order_total`, which I confirmed currently uses a **50.0** free-shipping threshold in `orders.py:10`).
- **Module guard** (lines 27–28): `raise SystemExit(main())` when run as `python shop/cli.py` or via the installed entry point.

## Fresh install, no catalogue file

It crashes immediately, before any command runs:

1. `main()` line 18 calls `storage.load("data/catalogue.json")`.
2. `load` calls `open(path, encoding="utf-8")` with no existence check and no `try/except` anywhere in the chain.
3. → unhandled `FileNotFoundError` with a raw traceback; the process exits non-zero and never reaches the `"stock"` branch or the demo order.

There is no bootstrap: nothing in the repo creates the file (the README-scoped `save` is never invoked automatically), so the very first run always fails until someone creates `data/catalogue.json` by hand or via `storage.save`.

Two adjacent gotchas, same failure mode: the path is **relative**, so running the CLI from any directory other than the project root raises `FileNotFoundError` even when the file exists; and if the file exists but contains invalid/empty JSON, you get an equally unhandled `json.JSONDecodeError` instead.

## One-line summaries

| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| `shop/__init__.py` | Package marker — docstring plus `__version__ = "0.3.0"`; no logic. |
| `shop/models.py` | Pure dataclasses: `Product` (sku/name/price/stock/category), `OrderLine` (with `subtotal` property), `Order` (with `item_count`). |
| `shop/storage.py` | JSON persistence: `save` flattens Products to dicts and writes pretty JSON; `load` reads UTF-8 JSON back into Products. |
| `shop/inventory.py` | In-memory stock tracking — `get`/`available`/`reserve`/`restock`, raising `OutOfStock` on unknown SKU or empty stock. |
| `shop/pricing.py` | Business rules: bulk discount (10+ units → 10% off) and per-country VAT (`GR` 24%, `DE` 19%, `US` 0%) plus `line_total`. |
| `shop/orders.py` | Order math: `subtotal`, `shipping_cost` (free above 50€), and `order_total` chaining discount → tax → shipping. |
| `shop/report.py` | Pure text renderers: `stock_report`, `category_report`, `low_stock_report` (≤5), `top_products` (ascending sort — buggy). |
| `shop/cli.py` | Entry point: loads the catalogue, prints the stock report on `stock`, otherwise prints the demo order total. |
| `tests/acceptance.py` | 13 self-registered checks covering models, pricing, inventory, orders, reports, storage and CLI. |
| `data/catalogue.json` | The only data file — 4 products (Widget, Gadget, Doohickey, Thingamajig). |
| `README.md` | Docs, not code. |

## Tightest coupling

**`shop/orders.py` ↔ `shop/pricing.py`.** It's a one-way dependency (`orders` imports `pricing`), but it's the most *semantic* coupling in the project: `order_total` composes `apply_discount` and `compute_tax` directly, so a change to `BULK_THRESHOLD`, `BULK_DISCOUNT` or `VAT_RATES` flows straight into every order total, and `pricing` is used by *nothing* except `orders`. Worth noting separately: `cli.py` is the import hub (depends on 5 modules: orders, report, storage, inventory, models), but its coupling is spread, not concentrated in any one pair.

Footnote from the dependency graph: it also flagged a *mirrored copy* of `shop/` under `playground/ai-portfolio/whitepapers/08-model-versus-harness/data/` — same files, outside this project. If that's a real copy rather than a scan artifact, it's a drift risk: fixes here won't land there.
